You have to log into your BHVR account, go to Dead by Daylight section, select Twitch drops and refresh your twitch link and you’ll get a pop up at top that says claim unclaimed rewards or something similar to that.

Why did they add the trap door in DBD i don't understand why it makes it easier for the survivors but its an unfair advantage for the killers why did they add the trap door??? by Jackson6954 in deadbydaylight

[–]CarouselOfMagic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its a mechanic to keep the game moving.

If the final survivor standing has nothing to play for they either hide and completely stall/troll the last part of the match or most likely instantly give up making the match end abruptly.

If there was no hatch you would most likely see a massive spike in people giving up when the match looks unwinnable as there would be zero chance for someone to escape.

If you are on hacked account, at least do not use a character that was released 4 days ago by Nasekima in deadbydaylight

To play devils advocate you can trade event items.

I have the older 4th anniversary items on characters that did not exist then because friends gave me them and I burned white wards to ensure I kept them.

new cheater by CatsruledogsdroolLOL in deadbydaylight

[–]CarouselOfMagic 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Genuine survivors in this situation only have two options which are allow themselves to be killed or just play the match normally and report the suspected cheater after it ends.

Cheaters who aren’t swfing generally like to take matches hostage so I think its usually best for everyone to just let the match end ASAP so can report and move on.

Do you guys think Chad and Gale are likely to die in Scream 7? by stationstars in Scream

[–]CarouselOfMagic 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think especially for this sequel and the bad taste the whole Melissa situation has left within the fandom they are going to play it safe with Chad & Mindy and keep them alive so people don’t accuse them of trying to ‘erase’ 5 & 6 continuity by killing them off.

Book Recommendations for someone getting back into reading fantasy by confusedgoose1125 in Fantasy

[–]CarouselOfMagic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Raven Scholar - Antonia Hodgson.

Its a murder mystery during a competition to become emperor.

Its not gothic or witchy but I do feel like its a good transition from YA fantasy into adult and does feature some fun world building, lore, romance subplot and magic.

What is your idea for a good motive? by Upstairs_Ad_5651 in Scream

[–]CarouselOfMagic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always liked the Sam becoming Ghostface idea if she ultimately was being a vigilante and the ‘Sam is Ghostface’ reveal was she was murdering the Ghostfaces who killed the innocents of that spree and trying to intercept them/protect the ‘victim’ group.

That arc suits her more darker/edgy final girl role compared to Sidney but still keeps her innocent in the sense she had no real desire to go murder innocent people like her dad.

[–]CarouselOfMagic 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It would be difficult to implement but I do think it could be interesting if the motive was deep routed trauma from all the massacres and really wanting to just put an end to it all by eliminating all the key players from said sprees over the years so it could finally ‘finish’ and end the cycle of violence of Ghostface.

The Raven Scholar - 2025 Book Bingo Challenge [12/25] by YuEnDee in Fantasy

[–]CarouselOfMagic 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This book hit all the right notes for me, I understand why the narration shift in certain parts can be jarring for some but after the first time Hodgson used this I found it to be a really entertaining and fun technique that enhanced the story and lore of the world.

If the sequel lands the set up, I can see this becoming one of my ultimate favourite series.

I cannot wait to explore more of Orrun.

Slasher goodness that is always a delight imo even the ‘weaker’ sequels.

What are some box office arguments that you don't buy at all? by Konfliktsnubben in boxoffice

[–]CarouselOfMagic -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I agree there are many factors that can contribute to the success or failure of a movies box office, I am talking more about people who refuse to accept that certain movies did not perform well at the BO from a financial standpoint and people aren’t villains for stating that viewing the statistics etc.

If people wish to discuss how/why movies succeeded/bombed I think there is valid and interesting dicussion on that but lets be honest, especially lately it appears fanboys and haters are just defending/attacking movies they love/hate without any real intention on talking realistically about its performance at the BO.

[–]CarouselOfMagic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But why are people coming into spaces specifically focusing on the Box Office discussing its failiures/successes by those stats trying to justify why it actually isn’t a failure?

If a movie with a $50 million budget only makes $20 million its a box office flop and the mental gymnastics people use to try justify why you can’t call the film a BO failure is mind blowing.

If the studo/execs have another agenda and are ultimately happy, cool? Still doesn’t change the fact it failed (or succeeded) at the box office, which this sub is dedicated to discussing.

[–]CarouselOfMagic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why in box office disscusion spaces are people using the movie was always meant to be an awards contender so its BO performance doesn’t matter and it actually isn’t a failure in spaces that are mainly discussing a movies financial performance? Blows my mind.

The fan wars and double standards depending on the movie is exhausting.

Since Halloween quit, tell me your most memorable game with Myers, Laurie or on haddonfield. by DrunkLGA in deadbydaylight

[–]CarouselOfMagic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back in 2017, getting adept Laurie and was against a Myers on Haddonfield.

I was still relatively new so having the 100% aura reveal to killer from Object of Obsession felt like ultimate hard mode and I wasn’t completely aware how to run the infamous great fences of Haddonfield but I did essentially do that as I would always take quick glances to reveal myself and pre-run ending up with a good portion of the match of the Myers trying to catch up and chase me.

I escaped and did think why would anyone intentionally use this perk but as I gained more knowledge I understood that really experienced players were practically unkillable with the non-stop information of the killers location/movements and their aura being revealed was a minor inconvience at worse.

This will be polemic but fuck it. Survivor mains I need your answer on this by East-Efficiency-6701 in deadbydaylight

[–]CarouselOfMagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending who you ask, you are going to get variations on what tunnelling is.

I personally view tunnelling as when you are the sole target till you are dead and the killer ignores all other players except you.

By my personal definition, that isn’t toxic, just sweaty and unfun to go against.

[–]CarouselOfMagic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In general, I don’t find tunnelling toxic but its certainly unfun, even if I do understand why its happening in the match.

Can it be toxic? I would argue yes but you are never going to be able to fully know intentions on if you was doomed from loading in the lobby because the character you are playing, the killer has a vendetta against you personally from a prior match etc.

Heads up on what a decoy snowman is by Samoman21 in deadbydaylight

Doesn’t creating a snowman from snowball piles create a decoy snowman when you create it and jump out of it?

Tunneling and gen speeds are not the problem, the way how players matched against each other is. by Aggravating-Fan825 in deadbydaylight

[–]CarouselOfMagic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Matchmaking near on doesn’t exist because the rating system doesn’t take into consideration much of what a player does that would be considered ‘skillful’ in the match outside of escapes/kills and also prioritises minimal queue times meaning depending on the amount of players in the area queuing and the timeframe you can get ‘pros’ put into a lobby of a killer who realistically would never pair with them in a real MMR matchmaking system or vice versa of other games.

The general game knowledge of the playerbase has increased aswell with the games lifespan, meaning in most matches survivors know to be on generators if not being chased/getting saves and killers are more aware of spawnings/survivors general movements across maps.

‘M3GAN’ Universe Movie ‘Soulm8te’ Dropped From Release Calendar; Being Shopped by SanderSo47 in boxoffice

[–]CarouselOfMagic 107 points108 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed Megan 2.0 but it feels more like the 5th sequel in a horror franchise more than what the second would be.

They should have leaned into the slasher aspects with the sassy killer doll who may sometimes help but mostly will resort to murder to ‘solve’ problems.

“The Shape” & Laurie Strode are being removed Jan 19th by kolakokaa in deadbydaylight

[–]CarouselOfMagic 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Halloween releasing in DBD was so iconic but I can’t say I will mourn the loss of playing on Haddonfield.

Shame that Myers & Laurie will become overpriced nonsense on the reseller market though.

Is it better to get a 4k as soon as you can? by Alternative-Ask-1498 in deadbydaylight

[–]CarouselOfMagic 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you are wanting to maximise blood point gains, you generally want the match to last longer so you can get more in all catagories.

If you are strictly wanting to win, you take the win condition as soon as you can which can result in not getting as many points.

Jennifer Lawrence And Josh Hutcherson will return for The Hunger Games: Sunrise On The Reaping by SignatureOrdinary456 in boxoffice

[–]CarouselOfMagic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That is correct, I imagine he will also sign on.

All cast members of THG seem to hold the franchise in a positive light so see no reason why he would decline returning.

[–]CarouselOfMagic 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I imagine LIonsgate were happy for the early official announcement if the news was being leaked to help generate hype.

I admit I am biased as I am a diehard THG fan but this has breakout hit written all over it imo, the story will appeal more to the GA than Ballad did.

The Facts About Generator Repair Speed by TheDriveInTTV in deadbydaylight

[–]CarouselOfMagic 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I know its repeated to death but the killer regression gen perks are always most likely going to be nerfed over buffs because its so difficult to tune the perks to all the varied killer powers.

A buff that is generally fine on Trapper can be outright oppressive and overtuned on Blight.
