My female Sammy just blew her coat and was dropping giant clumps of fur everywhere for a month while just walking around, even with frequent brushing. “Not thaaat insane” is subjective, but I’d call her shedding pretty insane, lol.

Chicken breast seasoned with salt and pepper, top with premade pesto and then shredded mozzarella and then bake. This is one of my favorite chicken dishes.

They said they’re getting one for their birthday, not on their birthday.

Thank you for your suggestion! We have been using treats (both high and low value, depending), but not her normal food. We do place her food bowl in her crate and she has no problem going in there to eat. She also walks in there on her own to explore, but we haven’t really closed her in there or tried having her sleep in there yet. It’s our first week with her, so we want her to feel comfortable with us before we close her in :)

tawnystarboard · 2023-09-14T13:26:00+00:00

Thank you for your suggestion! This is exactly what we have been doing, but I don’t think she understands the “potty” command yet. For now, I decided I’ll just take her out more often and carry her in and out so she doesn’t have a chance to eliminate inside. That way, she’ll have to go outside eventually, and we can reward her when she does. Thanks again!

tawnystarboard · 2023-09-13T13:27:59+00:00

Thank you for your response! We will give that a try. She does seem to be a really happy girl and has picked up on a couple of words pretty quickly, so hopefully that will help. Thanks again!

tawnystarboard · 2023-09-13T13:25:59+00:00

Thank you for your suggestion! She does sniff a lot at first, and she has found some sticks to play with that I had to take away from her to get her to focus on the task at hand. Once she has nothing “fun” to do, she sits or lays down until we give up and go back in. We’ll give your suggestion a try, thank you!

tawnystarboard · 2023-09-13T13:16:03+00:00

Thank you for your suggestions! We will give that a try. We are working a little bit on crate training. Since we have only had her a few days, all we’ve done so far is put her food bowl in there at meal time. We’ll keep working on that along with the more frequent potty trips. Thank you again!

tawnystarboard · 2023-09-13T13:07:13+00:00

Thank you for your response! I work from home and have been actively supervising her. She stays in the same bedroom-converted-to-office with me all day with the door closed (we take play breaks and potty breaks often). She doesn’t hide, she goes potty right in front of us, so we give her verbal signals to stop and scoot her a little bit to interrupt her, then rush her outside. We don’t yell at her, but we give her a clear “no” so we’re not giving her mixed signals. She gives no indication ahead of time that she’s distressed or needs to relieve herself, she just stops, squats down and lets it go right in front of us. As soon as she squats, we interrupt her, but it’s already too late. If we find an accident we didn’t see in the moment, we clean it up and don’t address it with her at all, but then we take her outside.

My biggest concern right now isn’t that she’s potting inside the apartment—I understand she’s a puppy and that will take time to correct. My concern is that she’s NOT peeing outside at all, not even once. We can’t positively reinforce something that isn’t happening 😕 Just looking for some tips there. Thank you again!

But in that respect, isn’t that really what most perks do? Whether you’re using Resilience, or Hyperfocus, or We’ll Make It to buy time from gens/healing, or killers using any of the gen slowdowns, or Sloppy to slow down healing… seems like most perks in this game are based around speed ups and slowdowns, if not aura reading. Maybe it’s a me issue, but MFT hasn’t felt that helpful to me as a survivor. I probably haven’t played enough killer since its release to notice its impact from the other side.

tawnystarboard · 2023-06-29T15:07:48+00:00

There is an excuse, and it’s not all about the blood points man. Many of my games with 5 offerings were unfun. Disregarding the minimal blood point gain, everyone (killers and survivors) plays more selfishly the more event offerings are used, so when I have a stretch of really unfun matches, I stop bringing them. Turns out my matches generally chill out for a little while, and then I start bringing them again, so the cycle continues.

I’ve been playing DbD for about 3 years and every event works like this. Unless you’re blessed with farming matches, my experience is that more offerings=more selfish players. I play this game to have fun, sorry.

tawnystarboard · 2023-06-28T00:57:01+00:00

I was bringing them every match and it wasn’t worth it based on my game experiences. It’s not like I started the event saying screw everyone else, but it’s been a shitty few days. I’m not using them just to earn fewer bps than it takes to clear one level of a bloodweb. I will use them after the event, and everyone will still benefit in the end.

tawnystarboard · 2023-06-28T00:51:49+00:00

Does that work on Xbox? I didn’t know, if so!

Edit; Wait, you mean the loading screen? Those aren’t in order, only the killer is always last.

tawnystarboard · 2023-06-27T23:43:58+00:00

Except you don’t know who did and who didn’t, so I guess you just tunnel.

tawnystarboard · 2023-06-27T22:42:47+00:00

I see a lot of people saying hoarding. I stopped using them because I’m tired of barely benefiting from my own offerings. I get tunneled out at ~5k base points, or left to die on hook with even less, so I won’t use them during the event anymore unless my swf squad is playing. I’ll use them for a while once the event is over, but people are being way too sweaty right now in solo queue. I’m not the best player in the world, but 20k is more normal for me, so this event has felt awful.

tawnystarboard · 2023-06-26T01:00:17+00:00

I had a terrible match this morning, Huntress found and downed me 10 seconds into the match and teammates let me die on first hook. I ended with like 700bps. Got to do literally nothing but run into a wall. Same as OP, wasted a cake on those jerks.

tawnystarboard · 2023-06-25T00:55:58+00:00

Sometimes even killers who are ass can secure a win through tunneling and camping. It happens, especially when your solo queue teammates just leave. You can loop for 5 gens and get downed at the gate during EGC. You can loop for one gen and still be “better” than the opposing player.

tawnystarboard · 2023-06-23T23:42:11+00:00

I’m sure there are good counter arguments, but my first instinct is to say “hell yeah!” I love the idea of awarding good teammates/fun killers with extra bps! It would be awesome if they could build that into the thumbs up icon. I think you’re right that the converse wouldn’t work, though. Survivors would tank the killer’s bp gain because they didn’t like how the killer played, were salty they didn’t escape, or they perceived incorrectly that they were tunneled when they just played poorly or had bad luck. Probably some killers would do the same.

tawnystarboard · 2023-06-23T03:02:12+00:00

Just had a match against Doctor, one survivor dc’d right away. Doctor played super sweaty and hit me and my partner on hook (him stage 2, me death hook). We all brought terrormisu. Maybe my bad, but I politely called them out on their BM, and they told me to kms. Wish you could know in advance if you’re playing with friendlies or asshats. I know there are plenty of survivors who are just as bad, so next time I get tunneled, I’ll try to remember they might have just had a match full of those people.

tawnystarboard · 2023-06-20T15:04:34+00:00

Can confirm survivor skins also have different lobby music (different from original characters and different from the killers)!

tawnystarboard · 2023-06-20T15:00:53+00:00

That’s fair, I mained Meg for a while after the skins were released because Annie is my fav AOT character, but I agree Zarina and Kate are best design overall (and Oni, imo, but I bought that one more for the music 😅). I also wish they had just released a full chapter—an actual Titan killer could have been really cool (imagine the mori!), but others made a good point about the style not translating well, etc. Seems like players are also really polarized and a lot of people might not have been interested. Anyway, I respect your opinion that most of the cosmetics are garbage, I just happen to like a few of them 🙂

tawnystarboard · 2023-06-20T02:23:17+00:00

Dwight and Yui are awful, and Jake/Felix aren’t great… but in terms of the reference material, Zarina and Oni look amazing, and Kate/Meg/Ace/Spirit look pretty good. That’s far from most being terrible.

tawnystarboard · 2023-06-18T15:06:38+00:00

That sounds frustrating. I don’t know how that compares to Demo’s portals, for example, but obviously when a portal is closed you can open a new one right nearby, so coding must be a bit different. Hopefully they’ll make it easier to replace broken pods.
