@FortniteBaka67 @Dewbieaddict @DeadbyDaylight Aside from completing challenges, there isn't one. The idea is it's a fun side quest, but because every other element of the match stays the same (objectives, meta perk loadouts on both sides), it usually just means you're throwing if you interact with it too much.

@kiligpapillon "She needed time to talk to her" then wrote a postcard to air it out in front of everyone. Yeah...

@RogerJacks18 @TheCancunExpert @actualvillainTV @lifeinvibrancy So much stuff to sift through? It's a 1:36 clip where it's clear Johnny is upset the police were called when he was attacking Amber and has intimated he will publicly say she hits him back sometimes. If you can't sit through something that short, that's not really my problem.

@DeaderSurvival @luvK41 I play mostly survivor lately, but it’s funny you jump to deflecting. I hate to break it to you, but you are BMing in this situation. Nobody finds it “nice” that you stand at the gate wasting their time for 2 minutes. Just leave.

[Max Gardner @max_gardner]

@DeaderSurvival @luvK41 You let the killer get a hit on the way out if they are nearby and if their power doesn’t deny you leaving. You don’t sit there at the gate forcing the game to continue for almost full EGC. That’s BM.

@Niklasvz2 @JaneIsLive Again, playing dumb - you know the intention here. But I think “Bot” is right. You asked a question disingenuously, and you just want validation to play like a dick instead of a legitimate discussion. Good luck out there!

[Max Gardner @max_gardner]

@Niklasvz2 @JaneIsLive It is when there's a hook right next to the survivor the killer can put them on to fulfill their objective and end the game sooner. It's going out of their way to waste someone's time specifically to GRIEF them. You being purposefully dense about it doesn't change that.

[Max Gardner @max_gardner]

@Niklasvz2 @JaneIsLive If a downed survivor is near a viable hook and the killer refuses to use it and instead bleeds them out for 4 minutes and humps them to play out whatever pathetic power fantasy they have, it’s griefing. Tbagging is more taunting, and the killer can actually do something about it.

[Max Gardner @max_gardner]

@DocLevee @albyRIP @DeadbyDaylight @Behaviour This is not holding the game hostage, unfortunately, bc the survivor will bleed out or EGC will close out the game, whichever happens first. The devs are ok with all forms of slugging, even if it’s contextually griefing, bc it doesn’t actually prevent the game from ending.

[Max Gardner @max_gardner]

@heyslushie @Chey_ttv I always report when people immediately take their attempts on first hook early game and try to go next. I think it falls within the guidelines of bad sportsmanship laid out in the report rules. But I agree, I think clarification from them would help.

[Max Gardner @max_gardner]

@Zhrixxanna Cringe af and 100% griefing. People like you need to stop playing the game when you get this bothered by it - it’s ok to take a break if you can’t regulate your emotions. I can’t wait until they make this reportable and you can get properly penalized, as you should.

[Max Gardner @max_gardner]

@thestoryofisa @gee_ginger @theashleyray @solongdaisy_mae Your reading is a little off. She’s not an actual widow (“grieving for the living”). The “he” in the room is the speaker’s husband, and their relationship is failing, hence why she’s cheating. We don’t know the gender of the “you”, though; it’s left ambiguous, not explicitly gay.

[Max Gardner @max_gardner]

@mattinthehat209 @austinrobu @zuza_real It’s ok that Perkins made a movie that looks great and has solid atmospheric tension but a paper- thin plot that he couldn’t land. He’s a great director.

[Max Gardner @max_gardner]

@mattinthehat209 @austinrobu @zuza_real I saw it twice. I was unfortunately definitely watching, and trust me, nobody is confused about the exposition dump. Most criticizing it just think it’s bad writing because it’s lazy and takes any mystery out of it (and it’s an awful explanation).

[Max Gardner @max_gardner]

@goonie5555 @Bdog2k19 “Veiled sexism” when he’s saying they should have continued their path with the three FEMALE leads they set up to be the new focus of the franchise. You can comment on whatever you want, but at least think through the things you’re saying lol.

[Max Gardner @max_gardner]

@Brokowski25 @PolterGuySteve Ah yes, the “awful” 6th one, the highest grossing in the franchise and the one better received among critics and audiences than 3, 4, and 5.

[Max Gardner @max_gardner]

@SourceHalloween Ends is a terrible finale but does explore an interesting idea. They should have introduced Corey and built up to that ending from the first reboot film. Instead we get an unsatisfying conclusion and bad character development for everyone but Corey.

[Max Gardner @max_gardner]

@moniza_hossain @Jurassic_Liz I'm also curious - I've done several searches, both for 'Blue Moon Rising' and 'Masqued' (apparently what it was renamed to), but I have not found any way to read a copy. Everything I've seen refers to it as a manuscript (as in, unpublished).

[Max Gardner @max_gardner]

@Jurassic_Liz @moniza_hossain Fair. But I don't see how you look at some of these details (example - running into 2 vampires dressed in 80s-rock-themed clothing at almost the same page marker) and don't think it's suspicious with the whole context. Then again, I guess that's not always enough in court.
