#shade payday 3

[bainofjustice]

Okay got to watch the dev dairy for lore, and I gotta say this more than anything has gotten me the most excited for pd3.

Firstly I am very interested in what the tl looks like as they mention gaining the pardons but it is also pretty clear from the pd2 dlc tapes the new bad guy is avenging Murkywater so my own theory is that the two versions of the white house heist are canonly combined, getting the pardons and confronting The Dentist/Healer.

Okay next is that I am extremely intrigued by Shade, an old comtact of Bain according to the devs, who swopped in just in the nick of time. I am admittedly not sure I trust her, so far all of Bain's old contacts have been allies to the gang, it could be time for a twist, though admittedly I'm not sure I want that. Either way I hope that like Duke, Bain's other well known old contact she knows about Katru stuff, it'd be hard to have the voice in the ear not in the know. Either way I am excited to learn more about her motives and goals.

Now as for Pearl I am really curious as to who brought her in and why she has mutual enemies with the rest of the gang after all why get involved with fighting a group who was able to take the assets of some of the best criminals in the world and has a shit ton of assianions on their side?

Also oof that Dallas is more somber now, I mean yeah life has been shit for him, lost Bain, lost his retirement and his brother is missing at best and at worst is dead.

Speaking of that I am curious about them implying the assassinaions might have killed members of the gang, my best guess is that crossover characters are the most likely to have met this fate or die during the story of the game since they can't show up much in the flesh anyways so at least they could add to the stakes. I am very willing to believe that the youtubers were taken out before the start of the game by the enemy group.

Also I found it both really funny and sad that apparently the worst time in Wolf's life was retirement but it does add up, he hasn't gotten any treatment for his extreme traumas and mental issues so like it's not like he could go to a civi life, besides as far as we know his family is m.i.a and the Payday gang was the only thing remotely close to a support system he had so like, no wonder he is happy that someone is now after he and the gangs lives and took everyone's money, it means he has his friends back alongside the only form of life he is currently adjusted to.

There is one thing that is on my mind tho... There are rn three main characters that are woman, both extra heisters and the voice in the ear, I believe this is to catch up with the core four being male, but... We need one more so either

A weapons dealer or something along these lines will be a woman

One of the first villains will be a woman

Or... hear me out, this is how Jordan Griffin could still be a main character in the payday franchise-

Chains is so funny actually

[lesbian-ferret]

I like to think Bain left out hoxton and Houston’s beef when telling shade about the gang

[what-yadoking-likes]

In all my Pokémon x Payday crossovers why tf have I never considered... gym leaders?

So the OG 4 would HAVE to be the Elite Four (with Houston never letting Hoxton about the time he was booted out in favour of him for a year or two). Dallas would have to be the last of the Elite 4 members.

The Champion, of course, would be Bain (version 1) or Shade (version 2).

I imagine Bain would have a lot of annoying setups. Think stealth rocks/poison barbs, hex setups, dream eater setups, toxic stall strats, minimize/double team, and absolute tanks in terms of HP (Blissey et al). He would have insane luck where one hit KO moves always seem to hit (Sheer Cold, Fissure, Guillotine, Horn Drill). He would make Cynthia look like a Bug Catcher in Viridian Forest.

[pyonicpyro]

Do you like the new characters in payday 3

Eh, to a degree. Shade in particular has REALLY grown on me. Especially after Cook Off.

[pigeonrocks]

I don't have a joke. I'm very excited for payday 3 :shrug:

(click/tap for better quality!)

[rattlesnakess-den]

Oi Mr. Rattlesnake Sir, what're your thoughts on this "Jacket" feller if ya've met em'.

Ah, Jacket. I remember him. Wasn't in the gang long back in the day so I don't think I got ta talk with him much. no pun intended. Interestin' fella. He was a hell of a fighter last I saw him. I 'member he could be real funny when tauntin Sokol, seems he and Jacket were always at eachothas throats. Maybe we'll see him round some time, Shade might find 'em or he might meander back on his own, who knows?

[henshin-4]

I love payday 3 (even tho I hate the leveling system fuck those challenges just let me play the game the way I want to) and Shade is... ok I guess, but I miss Locke. Ever since the end of Payday 2, Locke has been with us on every heist and I really need to see him return in Payday 3 at some point. I also want more of Vlad cause Vlad simply always brings the most fun heists.

I'll crawl home to them: Bain (Payday) x Reader

Author's note: This was written at 3 am and I actually cried writing it, so Powered by Black tea and potato chips this was wrote, enjoy this mildly angsty piece of work based on an AU I made where Bain faked his death, I tried to keep this as gender neutral as possible. Song to listen to while reading: Work song by Hozier

Warnings: Mentions of death, grief, pseudocide (fake death), depression, a lot of crying, happy and sad, maybe long, suicide mentions and mentions of violence, proceed with extreme caution, I don't wanna trigger someone

It was barely 4 in the morning when you had gotten the call, Bain had been killed. You're sweet, loving boyfriend had been killed by some fucker you didn't care to know. You knew that wolf and jacket would handle him, that fucking prick wouldn't make it out alive, you had been assured that. It took a day and a half for it to fully process, Bain was gone. You broke down in the middle of a work day, the news had shattered your whole world. It felt like you had nothing left in the world. you had considered taking your own life, but you knew Bain would have wanted you to stay strong, and that was what kept you going everyday, the idea of 'If not for me, than for him' and it worked for you.

You had seen the world in such a blurry shade of gray since you processed the news. All the color in the world had been sucked out and replaced with blacks, whites, and grays. The gang noticed the changes, but they never brought it up, you had lost someone important to you, after all. They all missed Bain so tremendously, but it was clearly hitting you the hardest. You didn't talk, sleep, or eat much, only when you felt like it, everything felt so hard, you could barely get out of bed most days. You had started wearing his clothes to sleep. It brought you a small sense of comfort, like he was still there with you, working, or just sitting around and talking to you. the lack of sleep was eating at you by this point, It had been about 3 days since you had last slept, and by this point, you were hallucinating, really bad, most of it was people, places, or moments in your life, but it all seemed to fall back to that call at 3 am, the one that brought the news that flipped your whole world over. The house was a mess, you just didn't have energy to get up and do anything, but you were also unbelievably angry.

Why? Why did this have to happen? Bain was the only person you had ever loved like that, and it had been so easily taken from you because of what? A fucking dentist who was a traitor? Suddenly you had a reason to get out of bed, to take care of yourself minimally. You wanted him to pay, and you wanted the feeling you got from that to last forever, and it felt like it did. Wolf and Jacket helped you kill the dentist, and It felt good, but it didn't fix everything, and then you started spiraling again, you cried so much more this go around. Why? why didn't killing the bastard make you feel better? It should have, right? You went back to not eating and sleeping all day, It was really all you had this time.

You had spent most days begging whatever was up there for Bain to just walk though the front door like nothing had happened, like he had just ran to the store for some beer or something, but he never did. You partially felt like it was your fault, if you had tried harder to protect him, If you had just been home when he was taken, maybe, just maybe, the love of your life would still be here with you. You felt like you were primarily to blame, but the gang never blamed you, and that made you angry. Why didn't they just say it? It was your fault, you could have done something, and yet, they never blamed you. You were kind of pulling away for a while, before you broke down again, and this time, you wanted to talk.

It had been about a 3 weeks before you spoke to Dallas about how you felt, and he listened. He understood everything you felt, he never compared how he felt to how you felt, he just listened. It helped, a lot. By the end of the month, you were able to clean up the house, take a nice hot bath, and eat some good food. You felt good, but, It didn't feel right to move on, you knew it never would. Bain had been with you through so much, and it hurt to think about dating someone else, but still, you persisted. You had started going back out on heists after 5 weeks, and you felt strong enough to carry on finally, you had finally accepted it.

Then you woke up to a man standing at the foot of your bed, and you immediately tried to jump out of bed to either run or fight back, whatever your body let you do. You were then grabbed and shoved back down onto the bed, you started kicking, throwing punches, biting at whatever you could, until you heard a familiar voice yell out in pain

"OW! fuck! Woah, Lovebug! It's me, Bain!"

And suddenly, time slows to a complete halt, and the lamp is turned on, and standing above you is the man you thought had been dead for a whole 6 months now, and you immediately hug him as tightly as you're able too. you both lay there, just clinging to one another, you crying and him trying his best to comfort you, lightly shushing you and occasionally kissing your head or cheeks. It felt like a dream, was this even real? Did the man you love crawl out of his fucking grave just to come back to you? The thought made you feel all fuzzy. Bain was alive somehow, and you had never been more happy. You slept the best you had in forever that night, and when you woke up, expecting him to have been a hallucination, but no, he was still laying in your arms, sleeping peacefully. He looked a bit different, but he was still Bain, the man you had fallen so helplessly for 3 years ago, and the man you had been so lucky to be dating for 2 years now. The thought of everything made you start quietly crying again. It didn't take much longer for Bain to wake up, and he immediately reached out and stroked your cheek, smiling softly. He could tell the gang he was alive later, right then, all you both wanted, was to be with each other.

Bain had made it pretty clear a few times before, but now had settled the idea for you, Even in death, Bain will always find his way back to you.

(Mild exhaustion edit: Bain now has a bite mark on his forearm from where you bit him in self defense)

Shade sprays Jaws with a water bottle when they are trying to bite people.

[pd3thoughts]

(Shade doesn’t know it, but she’s more human than she ever imagined. They’ve changed her. They changed him, too. Grieving is a human thing. Missing what could’ve been. Files marked for deletion are never mourned, and yet she misses him.)

[lesbian-ferret]

Old lady yuri mmmm

[what-yadoking-likes]

Shade: man down, somebody go help him!

Hoxton: who is it?

Shade: Houston!

Hoxton:

[commence-screaming]

The First Descendant Launched with DLSS 3.5 and Ray Tracing

The ultimate PC experience for GeForce RTX gamers is provided by the more than 500 games and apps that use RTX technologies. New games that incorporate NVIDIA DLSS, NVIDIA Reflex, and sophisticated ray-traced effects are published or announced every week.

NVIDIA have even more DLSS news to offer this week, including PAYDAY 3 and TRIBES 3, after yet another fantastic week of DLSS game launches and announcements. Rivals now play DLSS 3 instead of DLSS 2, and the Riven remake is now playable on DLSS 2! Additionally, The First Descendant will launch the following week with support for DLSS 3.5 on day one, including DLAA, Ray Tracing, Ray Reconstruction, and Reflex.

Find out more about each of NVIDIA’s technology integrations that improve user experience below.

The First Descendant Game A free third-person cooperative action-RPG shooter with Unreal Engine 5 is called The First Descendant. Four players can cooperatively enjoy strategic boss encounters with a variety of characters, intense gunplay, and looting. In The First Descendant, battle through the captivating plot and take on World Missions against formidable adversaries.

The First Descendant will guarantee GeForce RTX gamers the ultimate experience when it launches on July 2nd with out-of-the-box support for NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 with Ray Reconstruction, NVIDIA DLAA, NVIDIA Reflex, and several ray traced effects.

While DLSS Frame Generation provides GeForce RTX 40 Series customers with the ability to multiply their frame rate for even quicker performance, DLSS Super Resolution allows all GeForce RTX users to enjoy faster frame rates. A new AI model called DLSS Ray Reconstruction is included in NVIDIA’s most recent release, DLSS 3.5, to provide better ray-traced images for demanding ray-traced games and applications.

With the help of an NVIDIA supercomputer-trained AI network that creates higher-quality pixels in between sampled rays, this improved AI-powered neural renderer raises the quality of ray-traced images on all GeForce RTX GPUs.

DLSS 3.5 recognises various ray-traced effects to make better decisions about using temporal and spatial data, and to retain high frequency information for superior-quality upscaling. It was trained with 5X more data than DLSS 3 using offline-rendered images, which require far more computational power than can be delivered during a real-time game. Higher fidelity ray-traced effects are produced, and the results outperform utilising hand-tuned denoisers.

Ray Reconstruction optimises speed and image quality on all GeForce RTX GPUs, providing the best ray-traced gaming with DLSS Super Resolution and Frame Generation.

The First Descendant Platforms

The First Descendant enhances exploration and combat with ray-traced reflections, ambient occlusion, and shadows. The game’s ambient occlusion shading has been much enhanced, and shadows have more authenticity and complexity throughout. Shiny surfaces, character armour, glass, and bodies of water all have realistic reflections. Your performance when enhancing image quality will be at the peak because to the specialised Ray Tracing Cores that are exclusive to GeForce RTX GPUs.

The First Descendant Gameplay In The First Descendant, GeForce users can also lower PC latency using NVIDIA Reflex, which improves responsiveness.

NVIDIA Reflex has lowered system latency in more than 100 games since its launch in September 2020, and more than 90% of GeForce users have activated Reflex. Reflex offers support for nine out of the ten best competitive shooters, in addition to critically acclaimed single-player and cooperative games. GeForce gamers played over 10 billion hours of their favourite games with improved responsiveness in 2023 alone because of Reflex’s ground-breaking system latency reducing technology.

Download and install the most recent GeForce Game Ready Driver from GeForce.com, GeForce Experience, or the NVIDIA app beta to make sure your system is ready to play The First Descendant smoothly and efficiently.
