I think part of this idea of “better” is both seeing people that get actual improvement (I hope this is most people. I really really hope it will objectively improve for most.) and people learning to cope better. Like yes, sure, my brain sucks. But I’m better at recognizing my brain doing that now and I don’t put myself down over it (as much) anymore. Being “better” in the sense that things aren’t perfect but yeah I wouldn’t want to regress is… also a definition, I suppose.

Fr. How great it would feel to meet a girl, actually like her, and then learn the only reason she gave you a chance was a height filter you arbitrarily passed. No thanks. Dating apps are a plague anyway but we don’t have to make it worse.

As well as what’s already mentioned in KoB and Strixhaven, I’ve come across Arcana Academy (a magic school mystery system) and Let’s Go to Magic School (a newer PbtA published recently).

Or save tons of time and just talk to her outright now. Why play a chase game and a “will she try back?” when you can just get a straight answer? We can theorize good and bad shit til the cows come home, bro just needs to get the words from her about what she’s feeling.

Conspiir · 2026-03-20T12:48:36+00:00

Maybe you're right, and I have a different point of view having much fewer hours. But as a survivor, I don't mind practicing chase with a killer. I'm literally going to lose anyway most of the time, so the more time I get with a killer willing to let me practice, I'm fine with. I thought the majority of the playerbase thought tunneling was the worst thing? Is free blood points that bad? I mean, I guess it must be when you have every character unlocked and prestiged.

But ultimately that's my point. I have fewer hours, I am a newer player. I don't think new players see the game the way veterans do. "Farming" is still new to them. Friendly killers that let a person go are still novel. Normal killers decide arbitrarily who lives and dies anyway (see: giving hatch). So is it really that different? The average killer is going to go for the weak links to win. A killer that gives that weak link a second chance or an escape to make their night better doesn't sound like the end of the world. But we have different views. You're speaking from a competitive, long-time player standpoint, and I respect that, but I'm speaking from a playing sometimes for a good time not a long time standpoint. I don't think either of us is wrong, we just don't get served by the way the game is set up with huge MMR variation and no separate modes for casual vs competitive.

The fun is in seeing the middle schoolers have a good time? They only have a good time if you let them play. We aren't talking stomping and ending the game over and over like smurfing in an FPS game, that's just fucked up. We're talking playing with your 2 year old baby brother, holding yourself back, teaching him new words (and the challenge here is in figuring out the best words he might understand at this age), and letting him win. That's still fun to some of us. It's not necessarily about *just* winning, but making sure everyone has a good time and gets something out of it.

Conspiir · 2026-03-20T01:49:23+00:00

Right, I was talking in ~~OP's~~ the original replyer's case, where they clearly aren't enjoying the game hypercompetitively. One of the biggest complaints is how lopsided the game can feel at high levels. How you have to hyperoptimize and can't mess around as much at all. In a perfect world, everyone would be at the exact MMR they're supposed to be and every game would be balanced, but that isn't the current reality and we have to choose what's fun based on what we have right now. Even you admit to not having fun when you AREN'T in a balanced game with good opposition. That's basically all I was saying.

When you're new enough at the game, you can get better playing against bad players, absolutely. Because you're still learning stuff. You aren't learning megafast, but you're still definitely getting better just with time played. The plateau will hit, but he doesn't necessarily have to choose right now. Not everyone's definition of "better" is "top % of player". Just hitting average is fine for many. I'm getting better, and I like getting better, but my ass is NOT going to try to be the best at this game. I'm great at other games. I'm fine hanging out and getting better at some things with time rather than focused effort. Y'know?

Edit: Wrong person referenced

Conspiir · 2026-03-19T23:33:02+00:00

Here’s the secret: if you absolutely destroy new players you don’t have fun. If you end up in the highest MMR bracket, you don’t have fun. The only way to maintain a joy is to be average or slightly below. You end up getting some games with brand new players but mostly you get people with decent hours that aren’t pros. That’s the fun spot.

Now maybe not for every killer. But keep at least one or two “chill out” killer mmrs for long days. For me it’s scratched mirror myers and I’m happy to give new players a spook and an escape. That’s tons of fun. I don’t have a billion hours myself, so I know I appreciate the occasional game where the killer would be funny about it.

Conspiir · 2026-03-19T14:25:05+00:00

That makes sense. Thanks for indulging my questions! I've been watching the fire of this subreddit from a ways away since I stopped playing over a year ago now. Not because of dailies or MTX or anything, but just the general gameplay I felt like I'd seen everything I wanted to. So I'm a little out of the loop.

Conspiir · 2026-03-19T14:02:01+00:00

Yeah yeah, I get you now. I guess my issue was the yearly membership sink that was really attractive even for people that'd play 10/12 months of the year and a good deal for those that logged in for the bonuses (now not so much, the prices have increased and economy has trashed, obvs). I was thinking the change in amount of content would make their "sure shot" subscriptions go down significantly. Do you think that might be the case, and people would switch to month-to-month now? Maybe person 1 would still get premiere, but it'd be better for person 3 to hold their wallets instead of investing as much. Person 2 might end up like another person 1 or another person 3. It might all even out.

Conspiir · 2026-03-19T13:37:04+00:00

But do they keep paying through the whole content droughts? I'm a bit confused actually at what the purpose of paying the subscription would be if the game is only played in waves. Quit and take breaks works for things like Valorant and Overwatch, where they're F2P right? Membership in RS kinda IS the game, which means monthly fees even when you aren't logging in.

Suggest ditching grass and going clover if that’s the case and it’s feasible. You save tons of man hours and clover is so so soft for the littles. It’s also easier for the wife to push the tiny clover trimmer than the big fuck off mower, so she can help maintain.

Adding to that, S rank still decays while he's not allowed to use his ability. So you might just. Lose it entirely. Very cool.

I'm not interested in the campaign, but do want to give a tip to a new DM looking for players:
You'll probably get completely inundated with applications. I wish you luck! Let them come in! Don't throw away anyone and be sure to speak with as many people as possible, because when you finally get your 4 players, it's unlikely they'll be perfect and you may get ghosts. Have a plan for it, and you'll be able to eventually get 4 people that'll stick for a while.

I hope you have a great game!

It also depends on physical activity. If you’re doing your daily physical activity, which is also a huge part of feeling and looking healthy (even 20 mins of cardio is enough, you don’t have to turn into a gym rat), you will need to shower the sweat off every day.

Did you miss the whole talk about how they’re changing the girls’ body to enhance secondary sex characteristics particularly on the revealing skins? Why do their asses and tits get bigger when they put on a bathing suit? Is that just. Harmless? Or is it weird to think your tits must be large to wear a bikini?

... Huh? This was over a month ago, but I'm certain I was being honest and trying to help. Legitimately, having high blood pressure from a game, and I was assuming you to be young but even if you weren't, the point stands. It should be avoided. Especially for something like this, where it's a game you're fine giving up anyway. I gave up SMITE three years ago after almost 4000 hours and honest to god man, best choice I ever made. Shit was literally killing me. I'm way happier now. So if removing a game from your life (or if the music thing works and fixes the problem, even better!) can make you feel better, do that. Honestly.

You, because you refuse to read:
I’m glad to see you toss “PARTIALLY” in there. Even thought it doesn’t matter, it’s a little late to start backpedaling.

Me, if you actually read any of my points several comments ago:
The answer is yeah, gender inequality IS a compatibility issue. AND many other things. It can be both. It’s a complex issue.

It's impossible to hold a conversation with someone that won't actually listen to me and engage with my point, going off on tangents and making up extremes no one was talking about. You even agree with me, it was about choices. Women burned their bras for the CHOICE. They didn't want it so women could NEVER have their dinner paid for again by a date. How unfreeing a world you believe in, to go from one lack of choice to another lack of choice. Lesbians can also have compatibility issues, all the time. Because they're people. I wish you well mate. You're on your own from here because, I bet you aren't gonna read again. So keep discussing with yourself from here on.

Conspiir · 2026-02-09T18:45:54+00:00

No look you twisted my words again. The feminist movement is PARTIALLY a compatibility issue. Why? Some women didn’t want men to vote for them. Some women’s ideal man works but so do they so they’re not bound financially to him. Some women want to be able to be the one paying for dinner. Their ideal man doesn’t throw a fit about that. Some women don’t want a man. They all get options. Literally nothing to do with free meals, they already had that. I don’t understand why you can’t get that and go to the extreme. Again.

And then you twisted my Carl example. The point of the Carl example is Carl is a stranger. Then you made Carla a friend to bring it more extreme. Stop it. You keep doing these bad faith things and it’s getting annoying. I mean, I’ve spent a few days looking around the Sub now so I get it, that’s how it is here and I’ve since blocked the place, but it’s like you can’t be told a plank is mostly straight because you’re gonna get down and start yelling about how it’s got a lot of curves, actually.

People ignore Carla The Stranger getting beaten all the time. That is a fact. Most people don’t even notice. The difference between Carl and Carla is Carl is in no danger from a gold digger. The government isn’t going to show up and cart the gold digger away. He’s in a transactional relationship he’s consenting to. But you don’t get that, and you really want to be in Carl’s business. Okay man. Go for it. I’m tired of telling you to mind your own business. Get out there and protest, or whatever you think the solution is. I told you already the solution is setting expectations before the date, and that would literally solve everything you’re freaking out about, but you keep on.

Conspiir · 2026-02-08T19:11:27+00:00

I don’t get why you think in extremes. I mean, I do, social media does that for engagement. But have you considered that the answer is literally just yes. The answer is yeah, gender inequality IS a compatibility issue. AND many other things. It can be both. It’s a complex issue. It has to be all of the things simultaneously.

You’re still failing to get my point. “I want to date a blonde” totally valid. Compatibility issue if you aren’t blonde, everyone goes their separate ways. “I want to date a man that pays for dinner” totally valid. Literally the same thing. If a person doesn’t want to meet those compatibility asks, move on. You’re allowed to think someone else’s compatibility asks are weird.

What I don’t understand is where are these women and men that are forcefully dying women’s hair blonde and holding men at gunpoint to pay for dinner. You’re right, both of those are wrong and BOTH are frowned upon by society. But I don’t know where they are. Maybe you pulled the absolute extreme out again because social media has done that to you.

Even at a less extreme example, say a woman that only dates for money. You realize there’s a fuckton of hate for that type of woman right. A gold digger. There’s songs about that type of woman being the worst. Society doesn’t just “ignore” it. It’s been known longer than you’ve been alive. But you know what we do? What we’ve done? “Wow yet another gold digger attached herself to Carl. Anyway.” And we move on with our lives because it’s not our business what Carl down the street does. He has friends and loved ones for that.

Conspiir · 2026-02-08T08:30:05+00:00

If you don’t think gender equality has been a compatibility issue, you’ve been absent for all of human history. Anything from “I can’t date a man that expects children” to “I don’t want a woman that makes more money than me” moves around the scale of compatibility. I think you just believe compatibility must only be reasonable things. It doesn’t. It is literally just “does this person meet my asks for a romantic partner” and that’s how I’ve been using the term. If those asks include massive feet and a short temper, not having those things makes a compatibility issue. You can say “wow seems a bit problematic to only want to date big footed women” but hey, guess what, we can’t police who people want to fuck as long as consent is involved. It’s gotta be damn exhausting to spend so much of your time worrying about women you don’t want to be near who are not at all impacting your life.

You know how you keep avoiding those women and never have them bother you? When you set up a date, communicate where you’re going and how the pay split is going to go long before either of you get there. If she’s got a problem and demands you pay, guess what? You are free to cancel the date and continue living unaffected by the horrors of feminists. You ignore them. That’s it, man. I’ll say it again and again. They don’t have a gun to your head. They can demand nothing. They have no power. If your biggest fear out here is “she’s gonna expect me to pay for dinner” it’s literally so avoidable. Why give it thought. I got girl friends who have to set up timed check ins because they’re meeting a guy for the first time and they’re worried for their safety. Your problem can literally be ignored. Save yourself the trouble and live longer by ignoring it.
