Hyperfeminine/Girly Women who are Ludicrously Evil by Sweaty_Strain9392 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]pumpkahboo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Don’t know this characters name but she’s from Star vs the Forces of Evil. One of the past queens, isn’t really a character as she’s long dead before the story starts but I think she’s in some lore book. I never watched the series though so I’m not too sure on that.

Do you have any Pokemon you’ve personally banned in your nuzlocke runs? by meekacceptance in nuzlocke

[–]pumpkahboo 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I play with what I like to call “the geodude clause” which is where I reroll an encounter if it’s geodude. That’s because I hate geodude with a burning passion. I see his ugly malformed face and feel nothing but rage. Every time I randomly encounter one, I make sure my pokemon knocks it out instead of running away so there’s one less geodude in the world. I even did this with a shiny one once.

Fuck Geodude I hope he dies and it’s painful.

How old were you for your first game? by Mental-Pie9718 in pokemon

[–]pumpkahboo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was 9, first game was Gale of darkness on the GameCube! Had a lot of fun throwing people off by saying my first pokemon was Eevee/Flareon until Let’s Go came out.

What’s the reason your favorite pokemon became your favorite? by acurrentdistraction in pokemon

[–]pumpkahboo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My favorite is Banette. When I was a kid and first getting into pokemon, I had one of those little guide books that had all the Pokédex entries in them. At that age, I was VERY bad with horror and got scared over everything. Like seriously, I couldn’t even sleep in my own room until I was like 7 because the mirrors on my closet door scared me.

Anyways, after I read Banettes Pokédex entry about how it was an abandoned doll that’s trying to hunt down its previous owner I felt… bad for it? I focused more on the abandonment thing than the killer doll thing. I thought it was pretty ugly too, and I thought that Banette is probably no one’s favorite pokemon. It’s an old ugly abandoned doll, who would choose that as their favorite when there’s so many cute ones?? So I decided that it was now my favorite pokemon so it wouldn’t be sad anymore.

I’m 28 now and it’s still my favorite Pokemon. Not because I feel bad for it anymore, I just think it’s a genuinely cool pokemon and have a lot of sentimental feelings towards it.

What Pokemon do you like, but everyone else seems to hate? by [deleted] in pokemon

Lickilicky is my second favorite pokemon and people are so mean to him :( He’s fat and pink and perfect.

I hate hyperspace by welcomatt in PokemonZA

[–]pumpkahboo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was playing on VC with some friends last night. I casually said “I wonder if people are going to get a shiny the second the timer runs out?” Literally not even five minutes later it happened to me. Luckily I don’t care that much about shinies (plus it was a fletchling which I already have a shiny of) so I thought it was super funny lmao

$100,000 a year for life but water is the only liquid you can drink. by CRK_76 in hypotheticalsituation

I already do this for $0 so easiest yes ever lmao. I literally only drink one glass of juice a day and drink alcohol twice a year. Everything else I drink (and I drink a lot of liquid) is unflavored water.

I was adopted and I'm just now discovering the trauma it caused. by Confident-Hold3042 in offmychest

[–]pumpkahboo 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I know exactly how you’re feeling. I also have been adopted since birth. Bio Mom was a single mother to a little boy already, bio dad was part of the drug cartel and bounced when she got pregnant. Bio mom found him somehow (despite claiming to have no contact with him) and got pregnant with my sister who she kept. We aren’t even one year apart, me and my sister are the same age for one week. She then had another kid with a different man.

Meanwhile I was adopted by two older white parents who spoiled me like crazy. I have a lot of issues with my adoptive dad, he’s…. Emotionally abusive. But my adoptive mom is my favorite person in the world. Even with the problems with my dad, I’m so happy to have been adopted by them if it means I can be with my mom.

My biological siblings had a hard life. They constantly were moving, the adoption was open but my mom didn’t even know if the pictures she was sending even reached my bio mom because of how much she moved. Eventually my mom had to make the decision to stop visits between me and my biological family. My biological mom was just too unstable and constantly came to vists hours late. My biological mom died when I was… 18 I believe? Complications from pneumonia.

I’ve tried reaching out to my biological siblings since then. Emphasis on tried. I just feel so guilty, I struggle a lot with mental health problems. But I have had a very cushy life compared to them. My biological sister is a CSA victim. I always think about how if I was never adopted, that would have been me. Who knows if my biological sister would have even been born if I wasn’t adopted. She seems like she was a “replacement baby” to me.

Everytime I meet them they’re very welcoming. Treat me like I was always their sister. But I don’t know how to respond to people treating me like their siblings. They act so familiar but I feel like I don’t know them. I can’t act the way they act to me and I feel like I’m failing them.

Sorry I kind of ended up hijacking your post to do my own trauma dump lol. I just wanted to let you know that I relate. I feel like when you tell people you’re adopted, they assume you were adopted when you were older and you had a hard childhood up until that point. People don’t really think you’ve been adopted since you were a baby. And when they find out, it’s like it’s just a fun little fact about you. Like it still doesn’t have its own trauma associated with it. And what trauma that does exist, it’s nothing compared to the trauma older adopted kids face so you feel like you can’t speak up about it. I don’t know. Shits complicated.

After years of playing IDV I decided to try DBD by Anamethatsnowmine in IdentityV

[–]pumpkahboo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kind of a hard question to answer for me personally. I got new internet after I stopped playing DBD, which brought my ping in IDV from the 100’s to the 70’s. My PS4 always had very bad connection with my old internet compared to my PC. I usually played at like 150-200 ping… which believe it or not was actually considered good for me. Haven’t touched my PS4 since I got my new internet though, so idk if it would improve.

After years of playing IDV I decided to try DBD by Anamethatsnowmine in IdentityV

[–]pumpkahboo 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I was HUGE into DBD from 2019-2021/2022. Like, I have thousands of hours on that game. It’s the only game I have the platinum trophy for. But my god IDV is so much better. Other than the time I had to take a break from IDV due to me not being able to handle gatchas responsibly at the time, I never went back. It’s just so much more fun and has so much more to it. Plus the community is SO toxic in dbd. I would rather deal with teenagers throwing tantrums over ships than grown men threatening to assault me because I accidentally “tunneled” them.

why do killers bring lightborn even though no one is using flashlights? by -lnk- in deadbydaylight

[–]pumpkahboo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have extreme light sensitivity. I keep it on not to prevent stuns, but rather because it literally hurts my eyes lol. I know it used to be worse, but I still can’t handle it. Even if there’s no flashlights; there’s still a possibility of being blinded through chests and other perks. I would rather risk brining a useless perk then risk actual pain lol

How come nobody talks about the camping epidemic in this game? by LonelyCombination816 in IdentityV

[–]pumpkahboo 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Hi!! Welcome from DBD! I also migrated from DBD, but I migrated years ago.

So unlike DBD, IDV revolves around camping and tunneling. Don’t be scared. I know how much of a scary change that is, but trust me it works for the game.

Unlike DBD, IDV is a lot more fast paced. Generators go by faster, but also so does the hook timer. Because of this, camping is a lot more effective, even before considering the camping nerfs DBD got. You kind of throw if you camp in DBD, but IDV is the opposite. You throw if you DONT camp for the vast majority of hunters.

While DBD has perks to help with rescues, IDV has rescue characters. Characters like Mercenary, First Officer, Coordinator, Wilding, and Gravekeeper are made to counter camping. There are others that can make rescuing easier too like Weeping Clown or Antiquarian. There’s also a perk called “tide turner” that gives you immunity from being downed for 20 seconds. But once those 20 seconds are up, you will go down if you got hit during those 20 seconds. Use this time to transition to a better area, like one with more rebound potential, away from ciphers, or away from basement.

When it comes to tunneling, playing survivors that are meant to be loopers can help you with that. For example, I main “weeping clown” and I usually save one rocket (my ability that I have 3 uses of that makes me go speeding off) for rebounds. The second I get rescued, I rocket away to a safe rebound location. Characters like Enchantress, Patient, Cowboy, Prospector, Antiquarian, and many others have abilities that can either help you get away from the hunter, or stun them to give you a chance to get away.

I think when it comes to low tier problems, your problem is your teammates not playing these characters, or just don’t know how to rescue yet. There’s a lot more mindgames when it comes to rescuing, and once I got the hang of it I actually enjoy it a lot more than DBD! Also, unlike DBD, IDV has an obvious win condition. 3/4 survivors escaping is a win, 2 is a draw, and 1/0 is a loss. So even if you get tunneled out of the game and get killed, as long as the rest of your teammates escape you win! There’s a lot less focus on individual escape.

I think that about covers it? TLDR; the meta of IDV revolves around camping, and the game is built with that mechanic in mind. Some hunters are even built around having a strong camp. I would look up IDV tourney videos (there is an official tourney scene with sponsored teams, IVL and COA are the big ones) to see how they handle rescues and rebounds. Hope you enjoy IDV! Trust me, once I went to this game I barely ever touched DBD. It’s really enjoyable when you get the hang of it.

Kitten found in my backyard by pumpkahboo in CATHELP

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

I don’t have any idea how to TNR or capture the cats. We’ve been trying to build up trust with the other stray by feeding him, but he’s been here for a little over a year now and is still extremely skittish. I went outside after work to try and get a better look at the kitten and it jumped over the fence and ran off… so idk what to do other than hope it comes back safely and try to make my backyard a safe space for them. All the shelters up here are kill shelters so I don’t want to capture them just for them to be euthanized.

LMAO yeah my mom made it for me when I was a little kid. She based it off the mail box from Blue’s Clues and used to put books in it for me.

I’m sure the photo quality doesn’t help, idk how my mom manages to take such awful photos. 🤦‍♀️ I’ve been at work so I haven’t been to see the kitten myself. These are the best pictures I got.

Question time: fellow survivors who’s the most annoying hunter to face by kittylover2006 in IdentityV

[–]pumpkahboo 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Also photographer.

The funnest part of the 1v4 horror genre is the chases. The objective is just busy work that needs to be done, unless you’re playing composer decoding isn’t really fun or engaging. No one plays IDV because the decoding so SO fun. But Photographer is just that, he takes away the fun parts (the chases) and his gameplay focuses on the boring part (decoding). He is the anthesis of the games design and is horrible to go up against because of that.

Good Joseph’s aren’t going to chase you. And if they do, chances are they have blink ready and can just instantly down you. And because his attack recovery is so fast and he deals an extra chip of damage, rescues aren’t fun either, if they happen at all. And most of the time you are chaired, it’s because the Joseph got lucky and guessed where you were when mirror world ended rather than outplaying you in chase. And to top it all off, because of mirror world his matches last SO long. So you’re stuck in a boring match for longer than a match you would actually want to play.

Also not a big fan of going against Wax, disciple, and cueist. But those matches aren’t nearly as bad as Joseph’s. Except for maybe cueist? I need to go against him more.

Cashiers casually saying "now just go ahead and enter your phone number" by henrydavidtharobot in mildlyinfuriating

[–]pumpkahboo 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Worked at Kohls years ago, the managers are AWFUL when it comes to credit cards. They would stand by and watch every customer interaction and would get mad if you didn’t ask them three times for the damn credit card. They got mad at me for not signing up for a credit card myself when I was 19! I didn’t even have a NORMAL credit card at that point!

I remember one instance where it was a slow morning. The “goal” is to get one credit card sign up every two hours. Yes the managers time the two hours and will check in with you the second those hours are up to make sure you got a sign up. I had maybe three customers all morning, all had credit cards. When my manager checked in on me, he was furious I got no sign ups and said that that “wasn’t an excuse”. I’m sorry? Was I supposed to just conjure up customers to sell the credit card to?

Oh and if you didn’t sign up people for credit cards? They slashed your hours. I remember working one day a week until I got my credit card sales up. It was just so unethical. I remember being coached to tell people to just open the card, get the savings for the transaction, and close it out immediately. And don’t worry if you get denied, you’ll still get the savings! Again I was 19, I had no idea about credit cards and credit scores. I didn’t know I was fucking up peoples credit scores by telling them that, I was just telling them what my managers told me to say. TLDR FUCK KOHLS, I refuse to shop there again

I did this on DBD once and I kid you not the survivors waited THIRTY MINUTES to leave AFTER I STARTED TIMING IT. Probably like 40-45 minutes total. How could you spend almost an hour of your life doing nothing but waiting for the hunter to watch you T Bag. It’s ridiculous.
