    Not much more in the tank, really struggling to cope with life, maybe this League of Legends that everyone is talking about will cheer me up.

      I bought that game years ago hoping it would be a less toxic alternative to Mordhau.

      It wasn’t.

      I have a pretty good time in that game just turning my brain off and fighting people. Don’t look at the chat cause that shit’s toxic at. If you focus on just having fun and don’t pay attention to your kills or stress about the objective, the game’s a blast. I have been playing on and off since launch though, so I imagine it may be different for someone just starting out

        I’ve just been focusing objectives because I get my ass kicked in fights. The only success I have is sometimes lobbing arrows into crowds and doing the overhead attack with the spear.

        Some people have clearly been playing for so long though they like end the game 20/4 and I genuinely don’t understand how they manage that

          Honestly, positioning and awareness is more important than anything else. While it’s “possible” to fight multiple people at once, in reality, even the sweats will die quickly if dogpiled on. If you are smart with the fights you engage in (aka don’t just run in blindly), you can often find people to pick off even if you don’t have a lot of skill. While I’m decent at the game at this point, I still think most of my kills come from bonking someone who’s not expecting me to be where I am. Conversely, if I get surrounded by multiple noobs, unless I’m lucky I’m probably not getting out of that alive.

    Nah, bad take, Geometry Dash is not relaxing at all, because of all the toxic people in in-game voice chat

    I’m in the minority of (ex) dead by daylight players who just had fun and enjoyed the vibes. Might get back into it for a short while when Art the Clown is added this fall.

      Reckon there’d be a market for a newbies day for things? Like a forum or something where everyone piles in to a different game at the same time. There are so many games I want to try but do not have the time to get good enough to enjoy. Dead by daylight being a prime example.

        Something like that would be cool, yeah!
        DBD is also one of those games where you’re probably not going to be even remotely “good” until like 100 hours. Try-hards would give a higher number.

        DBD has an MMR system. When you start out, you’ll be matched with new players for a long time. New accounts get told who the killer is before spawning in as well.

        There isn’t any hard toxicity with DBD, as for the most part you can’t track what others are doing, can’t communicate or VoIP.

        I think the stress comes from a lot of survivors setting the objective of the game to escaping, but the devs have said they don’t intend for survivors to be able to get out in almost all games. It’s a killer heavy game and it’s supposed to be near impossible to leave.

        A twitch streamer almost had a 2k killer win streak before an MLG group sniped, used meta perks, and try hard for example. So adjust your mindset and enjoy, or just play killer.

    Add outlast trials.

    Or at least it’s pretty stressful until you memorize the maps and enemy triggers.
