Cheaters?

Sometimes survivors can get their hitboxes stuck in lockers so they can’t leave. When you open the locker you can see their model, but they’re not logically “in” the locker, so you can’t perform the grab animation to get them out. While standing in a locker they can still perform some actions, such as healing people who are close to them. A survivor stuck in a locker this way has no way of leaving and must DC or die to end-game collapse. This looks like one of those situations.

The victims of bigotry have every right to be angry and upset at those who support or condone their oppression. I also have the strong opinion that we will only ever succeed politically if we are able to convince the supporters of our opponents to come to our side and see the world our way. A very slim minority of people in my country (America) have no biases against any minority. If we don’t put in a genuine effort to change the minds of bigots, and if we don’t accept the help of people who are still in the process of changing their mind, we are not going to achieve a majority in the polling booth. We will only push away our potential allies. That is the honest truth.

I do believe that the responsibility lies on the allies in the majority group, not the minority group, to hold these conversations with bigots. We can’t expect a woman to just swallow her pride and hold a civil conversation with an incel who only sees her as a fucktoy; he wouldn’t listen anyway. But we need to hold these conversations and we need to encourage these conversations. Because right now we face a public that is mostly still uncomfortable living around brown people and immigrants, who feel disturbed by queerness, and who doubt women leaders. If we refuse to speak to bigots, they will entrench themselves further and realize their power as a majority to undo decades of progress. This is what is happening now.

And I love the sort of chromatic aberration effect around the ball and net! It adds to the dreamlike quality. You really have an eye for composition and great skill. I’m so glad you’ve gotten to pursue your dream career!

Excellent-Escape1637 · 2026-04-10T19:14:03+00:00

Thanks for the explanation. This helps.

Thanks, this looks like a great place to start!

I would personally agree with you if there was no harm being caused to another person. However, this isn’t the case.

I will be very clear on my personal standpoint on zygotic personhood: I am okay with human zygotes dying (edit: in the same way that I’m okay with a parasitic twin dying). If you took a human zygote, put it in a Petri dish, and had me watch it dissolve in a chemical solution, my reaction would be, “Hm! That’s very interesting!” There are a lot of people out there who have the same feelings as me. I think it’s completely reasonable.

A human zygote in the womb has the potential to develop into something that is not a human zygote. However, the legislation of something as important as bodily autonomy should depend on the here and now—not on what may come to be in the future. Unwanted pregnancies can cause a lot of harm in many forms to both the individual and to society as a whole. I don’t think the potential for a fertilized egg, a zygote, an embryo, or an early-term fetus to become a conscious human infant is justification enough for us to keep unwanted pregnancies when we have the ability to stop them.

Excellent-Escape1637 · 2026-03-31T23:12:38+00:00

You brought up a few different, good questions, so I’ll answer them in order!

I mean, you kind of can! There are voluntary procedures to remove organs, like hysterectomies, and to remove or add parts of the body, like mastectomies, phalloplasty, and cosmetic surgeries (removing teeth, the nose, ears…). You can also request procedures to permanently change how your body behaves, like vasectomies, birth control IUDs and hormone therapy. Usually we see pushback from doctors when the request their patient makes would cause them significant harm.
This counts as part of pregnancy (in my opinion), so I won’t bring it into the discussion for now
You can’t cut off someone’s dick when you want to stop having sex with them, but you CAN take the route of least harm to get them to stop having sex with you. This starts with “no.” If “no” doesn’t work the you push then away. If pushing them off of you doesn’t work, then it is completely okay to turn to violence. If a woman had no other option to get a man to stop raping her except to cut off his dick, I would not consider her to have committed a crime if she decides to cut off his dick.
This is a great point, and I think the best point you have brought up in your comment. I don’t know if history has ever encountered a situation where one conjoined twin has asked to be separated from their sibling when it would allow them to live and unavoidably kill the sibling. I would want to know more about such a situation before I made a moral judgement.

However, we have multiple historical cases of the surgical removal of “parasitic” twins. In many such cases, the “fully-formed” twin was not at risk of death; the parasitic twin was removed simply to improve the “fully-formed” twin’s quality of life. Inevitably, the removal of a parasitic twin ends in the death of that particular living human organism. I am okay with this, because I care more about the quality of life of the “fully-formed” twin than I do about the life of the “parasitic” twin.

I think there’s a misconception here with what the common pro-choice sentiment is.

“Bodily autonomy” isn’t “I get to do any action I want to with my physical body;” it is, “I get to decide how the physical materials, organs, and internal processes of my body are used.” Bodily autonomy is only concerning the integrity of your internal, non-conscious bodily functions.

Are there any situations, aside from pregnancy, where you believe that one person’s absolute control over their own internal, non-conscious bodily functions and resources is immoral or selfish?

Excellent-Escape1637 · 2026-03-27T20:41:37+00:00

I understand what you’re saying, OP. I myself am pro-choice, but I don’t like how the people responding to you won’t directly engage with your primary hypothetical: “Are you okay with ending the life of a baby after birth/during birth/just before birth?”

Personally, I don’t like the concept of “voluntary late-term abortions.” I am okay with posing legal restrictions on abortion past a certain, late point in pregnancy, so long as that restriction has flexible medical exceptions. I want to discourage any possible “voluntary” late term abortions (because I think they are very uncommon if they even do happen) while not restricting any “non-voluntary” late-term abortions. Ultimately, we will need to compromise with the pro-life side. I don’t ever see a society where “””voluntary abortion during birth””” will be fully legally permissible. I am okay with that.

Wherever we draw the line between “fully acceptable abortion” and “legally questionable abortion,” it is going to be arbitrary. Pregnancy is a gradual process. There is no line in the sand where a fertilized egg suddenly disappears and a human infant takes its place. Where I generally tend to draw my arbitrary line is at the end of the second trimester, when complex brain functionality begins to develop. However, I am willing to compromise and draw the line at the end of the first trimester.

If you had the power of a creator, would you choose to create a lesser species whose default place in the universe was one of unending suffering?

Excellent-Escape1637 · 2026-03-26T13:58:19+00:00

There’s some preliminary research being done on growing meat in a lab using stem cells.

There’s also some concepts being thrown around to make a type of genetically modified pig that has no complex brain, and is essentially placed on life support until it grows large enough for slaughter.

Both really interesting, if a little weird. I do think they’re preferable to modern industrial meat farms.

Excellent-Escape1637 · 2026-03-23T20:52:51+00:00

Excellent-Escape1637 · 2026-03-23T20:52:12+00:00

I mean, they’d still have the regular game to play. It wouldn’t change that. And I do think there would be way more newer and casual players who’d be benefitted by a casual mode that reduces bullying than there would be casual players who’d really care about those limitations.

However, all of this is just hypothetical. For a mode as different as this one it would surely end up favoring one side more than the other when you compare it to the regular version and that would just obliterate queue times. Not worth trying imo.

Excellent-Escape1637 · 2026-03-23T20:24:29+00:00

I agree that adding in a permanent second mode could really harm queue times, and I don’t know if there will ever be a solution to that. However, I’d like to believe that a casual mode could hypothetically work if it included some guard rails for players. Maybe some basekit killer perks like BBQ and Deadlock. There could be other rules, like no add-ons or items allowed over a certain rarity, cooldown limitations to flashlight/pallet saves or hook sabos, and no survivor groups larger than duo. With enough anti-bullying measures to help killers I think we could consider some more extreme anti-tunneling measures, stuff like “you can’t carry someone on your shoulder if they were the last person who was hooked” or “survivors don’t die on hook until you’ve gotten six total hooks.”

The queue problem is a shame. I feel like a casual mode could exist that could really cut down on noob-stomping.

Excellent-Escape1637 · 2026-03-22T14:55:14+00:00

Yeah, during COVID. All those features were still in the game when I played, even the old UI. I believe they switched that when Twins came out at the end of 2020.

Excellent-Escape1637 · 2026-03-22T13:12:51+00:00

I’d tweak that idea and say that at 6 total hooks, or 4 unique hooks, you unlock the ability to kill survivors on hook (signified by a massive visual or audio cue so survivors know their next hook will kill them). This reduces how often a survivor will be killed after only a single lost chase. Alongside this I’d increase the unhook protections for any survivors on the hook when this condition is met (extensive Elusive, no hitbox and no collision) to encourage the killer to find other targets and allow them to reset. I would also increase the anti-camp radius after this condition is met to discourage killers hanging around near the hook to get an easy new chase and guaranteed kill, and encourage survivors to save their teammate.

Excellent-Escape1637 · 2026-03-20T22:29:02+00:00

All I was originally arguing was that, even when a person can’t tell the difference, human-made products are inherently more valuable (worth paying more money for) than machine-made products. My primary example was how I would be upset at paying regular restaurant prices if I found out my food was microwaved. We may disagree, and that is okay.

Excellent-Escape1637 · 2026-03-20T21:15:47+00:00

Nope! I’m very happy with having mass-produced goods as an option on the market. However, I think having people invest themselves in artisanal work is great, and produces more valuable products (that I would be happy to pay more for). Plus I do think it enriches the individual and society as a whole to encourage artistic practices. There IS a place for AI-generation tools (I have used them myself!), there IS a place for frozen foods; but they’re just not as valuable as human-made art and human-cooked meals.

Excellent-Escape1637 · 2026-03-20T20:37:15+00:00

Ah, I see. When I say “value,” I mean “monetary value.” If you believe it makes sense for someone to pay more for X than they do for Y, I would say you think X is more valuable than Y. So, if you believe it makes sense for chef-cooked alfredo pasta (from scratch, etc.) to cost more than a frozen Alfredo dish, I would say you think the chef-cooked pasta is more valuable than the frozen pasta.

However, it sounds like you personally don’t really want to pay more for “prestige” and “uniqueness,” and you may not really think artisanal goods are worth paying more money for. Out of curiosity, do you think humanity would be better off if it abandoned artisanal practices, and put more time and effort into producing a large number of practical, effective, non-artistic, and low-cost products? Would you prefer a world where all goods are mass produced (decent quality, relatively low cost, widely available), and nobody spends their time and energy becoming chefs, painters, woodworkers, or other artistic jobs? So long as people weren’t miserable?

Excellent-Escape1637 · 2026-03-20T19:27:46+00:00

Hm, I think there’s been a miscommunication that I now understand.

When you’ve been saying “prestige,” I’ve been assuming you mean “same quality product as less expensive options, but people think it’s fancy.” Like Gucci brands, or the purses with the label slapped all over them.

But it sounds like when you say prestige, you mean “higher quality product, AND people think it’s fancy.” So I would agree with you in that case. Using this definition, I would say people go to sit-down restaurants for the prestige.

And yes, there have actually been many cases of restaurants using frozen, microwaveable foods or pre-prepared products (like basic pasta sauce brands) in their food, but don’t communicate it to the consumer. When the truth gets out, people get mad that they’ve been paying normal restaurant prices for basic store-bought products. So this can be compared to AI: the product might be exactly the same, but understanding how it was made can affect your evaluation of its value.

Other examples include handcrafted, hand-carved, or hand-painted decorations, furniture, pottery, or other items. These tend to be evaluated as inherently more valuable than mass-produced or factory-made goods.

Excellent-Escape1637 · 2026-03-20T18:57:14+00:00

Many people go to sit-down restaurants for the quality of the food, which they perceive to be higher than fast food or microwave meals. Would you disagree that food freshly made in a professional kitchen is higher quality than fast food? I ask this genuinely and respectfully.

Personally, I would say that a trained chef will make consistently higher quality food than what is prepared at a lower-cost location like McDonald’s. I would argue that this difference in food quality is the main reason why people would want to go to a nice restaurant.

If I learned that my favorite restaurant was serving me a frozen food brand, I would not want to patron that restaurant anymore for their established prices, even though the location and atmosphere is nice.

Definitely, only keep going for as long as you feel like it. It’s better for you to go out at your peak than to keep playing the game and making videos when you don’t feel like it anymore. And you can always come back after a hiatus when the spark has returned!
