My partner was streaming me her playing Payday 3 over Discord and showing me all of the different ways that the game is unfinished and lacks polish...even compared to Payday 2. And something stood out to me. All of the paintings on Under the Surphaze look suspiciously like "AI art". Now, maybe they were trying to go for a visual style that's reminiscent of it (after all, some of the heist involve stealing crypto scam coins), but for a game where there is no pre/post lobby chat, where ingame chat can only be seen on PC, where there is no vote kick option (seriously. If you're getting griefed or someone is hacking, all you can do is leave), where you can't unready once you've hit to ready up...I find it very hard to believe that they didn't cut this corner as well and generate a bunch of art theft collages.

2023-09-28 21:04:13 +0000 UTCGet the city council involved now. Your landlord had enough time to fix it. In some US states if a landlord doesn't do repairs and you have to do them yourself, you can deduct that from your rent. Can you do the same where you live? If you can, maybe there's a plumber who will work with you to your advantage. Not that I'm saying you should get him to jack up the price and give you the difference cash. No, that would be wrong. Then again, don't you say you can't steal from a corporation, just reclaim your money from them.
