I hope you had a good hike, Annie. It's quite hot in North America and Europe, scorching heat wave and all, so I'm staying inside mostly.

Anyways, I had my first game in Dead by Daylight, playing as the Killer, of course. When I started the game the first time, I kept wondering, "Who is that person with a knife going out his sleeve? It's like Assassin's Creed or something" but then it turned out to be The Pig from the Saw franchise. In my first match, I wasn't actually trying to kill anyone, I was just following them, but not hitting them.

I only wanted to fool around and scare them, but after about a minute, everyone seemed to have realized I wasn't being serious. I even played ring around the rosy with two players, it was quite fun. So, ya, I was surprised by how quickly the players realized I was fooling around, but we did exchange a few chuckles at the end-game lobby. One player mentioned that after the 4th time of bumping into me, he figured something was going on, as no one could be that bad. I admitted I was fooling around but promised I would be more serious next game.

edit: oh, and at the end of the match, despite doing absolutely nothing, the game decreed I was a BRUTAL KILLER.

So, ya, although many negative reviews mention how toxic the game community is, so far, I was able to have a proper conversation and a few chuckles with users. Will be playing a bit more. Hopefully, my stiff and sore left shoulder and left arm will heal.

Indeed, and midst my traumatizing, a few funny things happened. On my third match, I was eating supper, and began choking on a chunk of potato, so that made me afk for a few minutes. I almost died while playing as a Killer XD

In one game, a user (accidentally?) entered a locker while I was basically right next to them. So, I crouched, looked to the sides, then scurried away moving backwards, disappearing behind some bushes.

Been playing for a few hours, and overall had a good, fun time. Lost every single match, couldn't sacrifice a single person, as I tended to get lost and not know what to do. Sometimes, I'd chase after people while crouching but going backward, or travel across the map crouching while going backward, or playing ring around the rosy without attacking the victim. I thought it was pretty fun.

On my last match, the entire team suddenly started running after me, so, while crouching as The Pig, I just ran away while occasionally staring back. I thought they were pretending to be killers chasing after me, to eat the pig, but in the game lobby it turned out they were trying to let me Hook them XD I did tell them I thought they were chasing after me, then one user went "the real killers!" and I got a chuckle out of that.

Many reviews and YouTube posts mention how toxic the Dead by Daylight community is, but so far, 100% of interaction was quite positive. No complaints, no swearing, no snotty behaviour, nothing, it was all good. So, not sure where all this toxicity is.

What sucks about the game is that you just pull down a pill, which stuns the killer, however that works. I think it'd be cooler if you occasionally found a 2v4, branch, hammer, or something that broke after hitting the Killer.

How do you guys feel about one of those RPs where people become trapped inside a game?

Anyways, I don't think we've ever done that. The closest we did with something like that was my RP Suicidal Rebirth, but instead of a game, users ended up being recreated in another reality.

I suppose it depends on what kind of game would it be like?

That depends. Are we heroes destined to beat the demon king, or second class rejects who can't find a party because nobody has any confidence in us because we can't figure out how to open the menu?

I was thinking it's more like you've been hired or invited to test this new VR-style game, and then there's an issue where they can't pull you out. Also what feels like an hour in the game is about a minute in real life.

Your role in the game world will be that of the main heroes. Whether or not you actually choose to follow the main story (under the assumption that completing it will automatically pull you out) or just fuck around (under the assumption that the game devs will eventually work out a fix) is up to you. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

So basically SAO, without the whole "if you die in the game, you die irl" spiel?


EDIT: Are we playing an MMO? Because if this is the case, it could take half a year for them to update the game, let alone fix a bug like a broken log out button. Gotta sneak in that MTX, yo.
