Dead by Daylight

Killers this good are a mixed bag to play against. You'll probably get absolutely shit on and that feels bad, but sometimes you have to sit back and just marvel at the skill displayed

Yes, we have Vecna, but what about SECOND Vecna?

Shout out to Linxi, the only streamer I can think of who is masochistic enough to main the twins. Incredibly talented player, and unbelievably mentally resilient playing through all those bugs

We've all seen the joke names and players who have found ways to express their thirst in game. The DBD community are freaks and I love them for it

Hide Spike did a fun collab with dead by daylight creators making some fun tracks of clips and eventually making a recorded diss track with several popular streamers. I think this is the first track, where he used clips from JRM to make a fun dead by daylight song

During 2v8 I was playing some trapper and I had an absolutely incredible game with my duo as Wesker. It was on Autohaven and we had a slow start which is practically a necessity on Trapper, but in the mid and late game all the work building a trap network started to pay dividends. We had 3 survivors hit traps within 10 seconds at one point and were around to get the hooks too. I felt like I was in the zone, being very efficient and nailing the placements on the first shot. I was thinking about where survivors would be entering loops from and where to put traps so they wouldn't see it until it was too late. I didn't do amazing in chase, but my traps helped my duo out a bunch and I had a great time. I was unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In My Lane. Focused. Flourishing. It felt like one of the best Trapper games I've ever played.

That started me wondering about what exactly in that game made it so satisfying. What part of the power fantasy of the killer was delivering? I think for me it is the planning and foresight that gets me with trapper. The closer a chase gets to what I imagined setting the trap, the more joy I get when the jaws snap shut. The same goes for the Artist on a shorter scale. Every loop is a little puzzle where the right combination of bird placement and your placement can get you an injury. So what is the draw of your killer? What does the best game you could have with them look like?

The End of Stranger Things begins THIS WEEK!

Let's get out there and play some DEMOGORGON to celebrate!

Cru5hh is a talented player, probably best known for his silly looping videos and hijinks, but who also has a good deal of competitive DBD experience. This is a very in depth guide to a lot of the concepts that will help you get over the new player hump and start being able to hold your own against experienced players

Hahaha this would 100% work on me. I can't handle survivors being cute at me. On occasion it sucks the fun out if I only have time for 1 game, but if I get to play a little before or after then I usually enjoy them doing silly stuff

Didn't know you could do this 😂 Bot behavior is inexplicable. Also I think one of the things I like about g_birb is she looks as surprised as I feel when I get a save

Still get startled like this all the time. The funniest ones are when survivors jump scare you as killer. I'll have to see if I can scrounge up a clip from g_birb where she got jump scared by a Sable staring into her soul after a teleport

Love the cat or mouse of a good Ghost face chase. Trying to keep breaking line of sight so you don't get exposed while you're in the open is such a fun micro gameplay. Teabagging with ghost face is also always a joy.

2v8 has been extended to November 25th. Five more days of duo killer games, get in while you can!

Badham can be such a rough map for most killers, this would have tilted me too

Recently I loaded into a match of 2v8 and started the match by running up a hill and struck by an impulse I stopped to spank the Dwight idle at the top of the hill. Dwight and another player turned to look at me, and I dropped off the other side of the hill... Directly into the path of Billy's first chainsaw dash. The Dwight and friend just stood there and stared as I got sent to a cage 😭 That go me wondering, what is your latest embarrassing fumble?

We've all been there

The rare tambourine bug

Poor Legion 😂

Love the Artist and Carne is so talented. Setting up good bird shots is so rewarding

Crazy huntress play from SpookyLoopz. I've gotten a couple cool throws in my time, but some of the streamer Huntresses drop 5 hatchets back to back that are better than I've ever done

Funny Nodders moment from JRM

Everybody loves a DBD fashionista. What character are you most proud of your outfit for?

On survivor, I would say my Haddie fashion is my favorite, but on killer I am torn between Huntress and Artist. I use the open neck head for Artist, and I love how spooky it looks!
