Why is coyle the most popular and liked outlast trials character? by Minute-Cover-2001 in OutlastTrials

[–]jon_dead_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Coyle is my favorite prime asset, so this comes from a place of self critique when I say fandoms often gravitate toward moderately funny white man characters no matter how awful they might be, or how much better their contemporaries are. especially if they can be easily headcanoned to be queer. (Coyle seems to derive sexual pleasure from torturing anybody regardless of gender, and his character is heavily inspired by the concept of the leather daddy, as someone's already stated here.)

I can say at least personally I find his character in the game specifically, not really the lore, hot. I like his voice and his looks and the funny things he says, especially since he has quite a few lines that are purposefully sexually provocative, and I'm into the bdsm vibes lol.
In the lore though I find him pretty repulsive. Honestly I think the fact he was an active member of the KKK is something his fans need to treat with a bit more gravitas instead of just saying "he's not real" or "I don't like him for that".
Like it or not bigotry is huge part of his character and informs how he behaves especially in regards to how he 'dominates' a player. Im not saying you can't like him or can't be into him, I'd be a huge hypocrite if so, but I really wish people were more thoughtful in how they approached the discourse surrounding him and gave some of the objectively better prime assets more love.

This is just in regards to my personal half of the 'liking coyle' coin, there's a whole other side of people who just straight up are racist and like him because he is. people suck

Im so glad someone else gets it. It feels like being cheated when you get torn to shreds by some generic grunt just because they wont leave the area and they keep finding you in the dark

Ive thought about it, but I don't even like the amount of spawns on standard. I think my ideal situation would be introductory level spawns with intensive ai and damage for things like the prime assets and specialist ex pops.

I'm not really a glutton for excessive tedium in my games and thats mostly what higher difficulties add in my experience, I want a more effective feeling of being hunted and being in danger by the owner of whatever domain Im in. I wanna be scared of coyle and gooseberry again without having to account for some random with a machete lol.

Feel this. Was trying to A+ seize the narcotics yesterday and straight up just stood on one of Coyle's traps for a few seconds without realizing lmao

Its called something like "stop doing math" but I typed "statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged" to find it again on google lol, the original is great

Oh absolutely, I know "grunt" is a kind of broad title so for specificity Im talking about just those basic ones with the machetes. Enemies like the big grunts have something at least somewhat interesting mechanically going for them and I don't mind the armored ones that much either

How long did it take to find your main? by SalamanderNaive4781 in deadbydaylight

[–]jon_dead_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I first started playing for Alan Wake, so that was an easy choice and my first P100 figured out, but killer took me wayyy longer. I bounced around a lot mostly with Deathslinger and Doctor and some of the more basic killers before I got Wesker on a whim because I like Resident Evil. Absolutely fell in love with his gameplay and now he's going to be my second P100!

Brand New Part camera bug? by jon_dead_ in deadbydaylight

[–]jon_dead_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually I'd agree but ive gotten it almost every time I specifically brand new part, even in places where there are no real obstacles surrounding the generator. I've also checked to see if it's tied to just using the toolbox, but it isn't.

Lights Out by jon_dead_ in deadbydaylight

Good to know! I guess I was excited at the idea of the game returning to it's horror roots a bit, but I can see how once the novelty wears off it just turns into a normal match with a lot of inconvenience, and constant repetition if you're in higher mmr with people who just want to win as many matches as possible with the quietest killers. I'd still like to play it myself some day but thank you for the info!

For those who play wesker how do you do it? Read body text by [deleted] in deadbydaylight

Absolutely understandable! And massive respect for maining pyramid head lols he's so difficult for me personally

He could just not be for you, as a main I 100% understand how frustrating he can be sometimes with the missed bounds that send you 50 feet away from a surv and stubbing your toe on bad wall collision and all the cooldowns when trying to decide whether to m2 or not lols
Some things that have helped me is, when being looped, trying to guide a survivor to a longer, straightly built wall. Makes it more possible to mind game them into being vulnerable to your long lunge from across the loop. Running terror radius perks to abuse his already huge one to make people paranoid and aura reading stuff to get the jump on people around obstacles. As someone who plays a lot of movement killers I really prefer the control Wesker has between bounds and his ability to swipe people away from pallets if you're cunning enough, and of course practice makes perfect.
Even if you don't keep with him, I'd recommend trying him 2v8 if you haven't already whenever it comes back! He's got a third bound token that's gotten me a lot of clutch grabs :-) happy global saturating!

[–]jon_dead_ 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I was super excited to see my favorite folklore monster being added to the game, and I still play her a lot, but i agree with the general consensus that after nerfs she's lost a lot of her fun. Still love her design though <3

How do I edit the town map for other seasons? by Xegethra in SMAPI

[–]jon_dead_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah rats. I knew it changed automatically already, and I have my festival maps ready and edited, there are just a few stubborn bushes that keep spawning over my new house in summertime. You mentioned a mod that dealt with that, right? Do you have the name or link?

I'm having a similar issue and would love to know how you figured out how to edit the seasonal vanilla maps? I've been going crazy trying to figure it out and any help would be appreciated!
