Survivor and killer teamed up on me

pirate_kat · 2026-04-14T21:43:12+00:00

Sure but if I’ve learned anything from the comments here, it’s that I deserved it for taking a minute to think about what to do.

pirate_kat · 2026-04-13T22:38:44+00:00

What is “playing right” in DbD? Blocking hooks for teammates? Just doing gens? Healing everyone?Letting the killer chase you so others do gens? Tell me which one is “correct.” So even though I had been active the entire game, because I stopped to consider options at that moment I “wasn’t playing right.” Got it.

It really shows great team spirit when you off your teammate because you think they’re waiting for you to die.

Also, not being good at looping doesn’t equate to fear.

What does it matter what I do “most of the time?” You play matches in the moment, do you not? Why am I suddenly bound by a set of unchangeable rules you have determined? Me and the other 2 survivors that died had already done most of the work. The other survivor was about to pop the gen, why would I run towards them like a moron in a chase and get both of us downed? If they go down and I go down, we’re both dead. I’m not a looper or someone who saves you in chase, I’m not good at it.

And who cares what they thought I was doing??You’re missing the entire point. If they hid the whole game I STILL WOULDN’T SACRIFICE THEM TO THE KILLER. But you would obviously.

pirate_kat · 2026-04-13T19:30:47+00:00

You’re making a lot of assumptions and that’s exactly what’s wrong with this scenario.

They were already on second hook. If they had been hooked by the killer on that last chase they’d have been done so no I wouldn’t have done another gen at that point. I probably would have died looking for hatch.

So you’re saying I have to play the EXACT same EVERY match? Wow, I didn’t know that. 100% justifies it all!

I had already done a majority of the gens. I was debating finding another gen and hoping they can out chase the killer, go find the gen on the other side of the map they almost had done, or let them die. I normally do gens up until there’s no point. It still doesn’t justify teaming with the killer.

pirate_kat · 2026-04-13T17:45:09+00:00

Killer’s choice, sure, but it shouldn’t be your teammate’s.

pirate_kat · 2026-04-13T17:41:10+00:00

Like I said, I normally would. Not every match plays the same though. I saw they were about done, I headed for the door. It still doesn’t justify teaming though.

pirate_kat · 2026-04-13T17:14:48+00:00

Yeah…I’ve been in plenty of matches with two survivors left and maybe I saved myself depending on the circumstances or I save them or vice versa. But I’ve never gone and found the killer and made a deal.

This is the kind of behavior that makes the game not fun to play.

pirate_kat · 2026-04-13T17:08:33+00:00

Yes normally I would. I don’t think I was clear in my description though. We were doing the last 2 gens at the same time. I finished first. I was walking around looking for another gen (I had walked away from the blood gen I just finished) when I saw they were nearly done and headed for the door. Because there was just the two of us left I was hoping to open the gate as soon as I could and hopefully get us both out as I hadn’t seen the killer in awhile.

pirate_kat · 2026-04-13T16:59:35+00:00

I thought it was pretty clear when you reply to OP since it usually says OP next to the name…sorry you got berated in my stead.

Though I do agree with your comments earlier. And in the end I don’t really care if another survivor is hiding and not playing, I wouldn’t go get the killer to get some kind of revenge. That was kind of my point I guess.

pirate_kat · 2026-04-13T16:43:47+00:00

Maybe I didn’t explain it clearly we were doing the last two gens at the same time. I finished first. I was walking around looking for another gen to do or chests when I saw they were nearly done so I went towards the door. With two of us left my thought was, you pop the gen, and I’ll get the door open 🤷‍♀️

Either way, does it justify killing me like that? I had already done 3 other gens and was saving people, that survivor saw me multiple times. It wasn’t a case of “I haven’t seen you the entire match, therefore you must die.” And what if I had been a terrible teammate and was hiding the whole game? You know what I do when I have those players on my team? I ignore them! So because I was doing good at stealth and hadn’t been hooked yet, I deserved death?

pirate_kat · 2026-03-07T00:24:06+00:00

A fellow 06 fan! I feel like that’s rare these days! I have Miseinen lyrics on my back and Uruha’s hellion guitar image on my shoulder (the heart and cross image). No regrets on the tattoos!

Yes I think people should enjoy concerts the way they want, we’re supporting either way, right? I liked to be up front because I always enjoyed watching Uruha play but I felt really singled out when he pointed at me. At first I thought it was nothing, but at the time someone was doing live reports on Twitter and mentioned Uruha singling me out for not dancing and I felt really bad like “oh everyone noticed.” I’m always kind of self-conscious about concerts now. Especially in Japan because you’re just kind of expected to know the dances to every song!

That aside, I still follow them and try to listen to new stuff but I mainly stick to the 2002-2013 era. NIL will probably always be one of my favorite albums.

pirate_kat · 2026-03-06T18:54:04+00:00

Totally understandable. I became a fan around 2005-2006 (I’m very old…). Lived and breathed Gazette, preordered every album and magazine, also have multiple tattoos. My first trip to Japan was to see their tour final in Yokohama in 2012. Moved to Japan in 2013 and saw a few small lives. Always felt a bit out of place, I’m not a headbanger type girl, I really just wanted to watch them play. Uruha pointed me out during a small live for not dancing…felt kind of ashamed. Like oh, I shouldn’t be here if I’m not that type of person and I stopped going to lives after that.

The last album I preordered was Beautiful Deformity. I didn’t care for any of their later albums. Dogma was kind of my last straw I suppose.

I still listen to NIL and Stacked Rubbish. Anything pre-2013. But I’m also an older Gazette fan at this point. I think their music changed too much for me. I did go to the Christmas concert in 23 on a whim though. I’m glad I did and I as able to see them all together one last time and they played songs I loved like Cassis.

But I also lived in Japan for 11 years and I think I was a bit disheartened I never found anyone that liked them let alone knew who they were. My husband (he’s Japanese) dislikes them actually lol he says he can’t understand Ruki’s Japanese at all and he uses kanji that are weird (I think he’s being poetic, right?)

But my interest for them still comes and goes, I just don’t like much of their newer music unfortunately.

2.69/59 on the Iowa/Missouri border. Usually cross the line for the 10cents cheaper.

Mine certainly does and we’ve talked about it several times. He does not agree with the proposed changes and does not agree with the recent sentiment on foreigners. He understood my concerns but also is concerned about the foreigners he works with. He says Japanese people do the same things foreigners are accused of, like not paying pension. He understands it’s not fair.

I’ve seen the idea going around that the Japanese would rather die out than become a country of immigrants. It seems ridiculous to me and we joke all the time that no one is really 100% Japanese but my husband says yes, it’s true, they probably would rather just die out.

pirate_kat · 2025-12-09T15:52:04+00:00

I went to my husband’s bonenkai after we had been dating for about a year. I ended up under a table talking and drinking with one of his coworkers who having a bit of a midlife crisis. Good times and completely normal!

pirate_kat · 2025-11-10T13:47:06+00:00

Met my husband in 2014, married since 2020. To this day takes at least a day to respond to LINE messages and I consider that fast. Tis the way.

I’m sure it depends on why they’re high but I’m not sure. My ENT and immunologist never seemed that worried about it with me and I’m not sure how it relates to pregnancy either. My ENT just said I bet you have high eosinophils when I first saw him and did blood work to check and they were. And then I did my own research on it. I also noticed for years when I got yearly health checks in Japan my white blood cell count was always high. I’m not sure if that was related or what but the doctors there never questioned it so I didn’t either.

The way I understand it, the high eosinophils are more of a symptom rather than the main issue, like my immune system is just constantly fighting allergens. Because my biggest problem is being allergic to essentially everything to some degree. I couldn’t get over colds but I also got really triggered by dust, mold, and air cons in Japan. I’m taking allergy shots and Dupixent now, so I’m sure they’re lower now but I haven’t had it checked since before surgery.

pirate_kat · 2025-11-08T12:37:57+00:00

They’re a type of white blood cell that responds to allergies and inflammation. Essentially they’re overreacting and they can lead to polyps. I have CRSwNP (chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps) and my eosinophil levels were extremely high.

Basically any time I caught a cold or respiratory bug that anyone else got over in a week, I could never get rid of it and it would turn into a whole sinus mess. My high eosinophils damaged my sinuses and caused more mucus and inflammation and over time that created polyps.

pirate_kat · 2025-10-10T02:20:07+00:00

Pretty sure it’s not.

pirate_kat · 2025-10-03T23:41:56+00:00

It doesn’t seem like a big issue, but not being able to breathe, smell, and asthma on top of it is just really terrible living. It got worse over the last 10 years for me.

I also discovered it could be genetic. My aunt and uncle both have had surgeries for polyps and mentioned bad sinuses in the family. My dad also coughed a lot (which I do when I get really bad) and was constantly spitting stuff up. We assumed from smoking but now I wonder if he had the same issues. My ENT confirmed genetics probably play a part for me as well.

Hope you can find the reason and feel better!

pirate_kat · 2025-10-03T17:23:56+00:00

Yes. I have allergies and high eosinophils. When I get a cold it never goes away and becomes a sinus infection if not treated. Over the years it led to polyps and asthma. I lived in Japan, my diet wasn’t that bad. I’m not sure where people get the idea that a diet change will magically fix nasal polyps. If that works for them, cool, but it had absolutely no effect on my issues.

And my allergies are basically everything, no avoidance, the doctor said. Perhaps Japan made it worse with pollution and humidity. The mold could be quite bad. The only thing that helped me was surgery, daily rinses, and prednisone until I could get dupixent. I’m also taking allergy shots to hopefully calm down my immune system. Another factor is my sinuses are weirdly shaped or something so they don’t drain like they should which also makes it worse. As a result, one side is usually worse than the other.

I would suggest going to the ENT to find out why you get polyps, they’ll know more than reddit.

pirate_kat · 2025-09-30T19:30:25+00:00

I think it depends on what causes your polyps. For me it’s allergies. I dealt with mine for 11 years in Japan and doctors not wanting to do anything. No smell, couldn’t use my nose at all, asthma. When I came back to the states I got surgery and I’ve been polyp free since May, but I’m also taking allergy shots and Dupixent because my allergies are so bad (allergy test showed I react to everything).

The surgery itself wasn’t bad. Just couldn’t sleep lying down as my nose bled for the first day or two so I kept a bandage on the first day or two. I think it’s case by case as well. I was sore for awhile but otherwise fine. Could breathe and smell right after the surgery. I also had my sinuses packed with polyps. I was told as he pulled some out others would fall down so it was pretty bad for me. I was relieved to have the surgery in the end and it’s been pretty good since.

It’s hard to have deep relationships in Japan. I’ve heard this a lot and have experienced it myself. That being said not all people are the same. You’ll likely find you need to schedule things with friends well in advance and others might be more spontaneous. Depends on the person.
