A Fundraiser To Help People Get Service Dogs!

Hello everybody!

You can call me Mustang, I can be found here over on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/mustangtries

This Friday I will be starting my 3rd Annual Chandler Memorial Fundraiser, where I raise money for the Freedom K9 Project. They train and provide service dogs to victims of sexual assault, human trafficking and other such actions. You can find out more about them here: https://www.freedomk9project.com/

I do this in honour of my German Shepherd named Chandler who did so much for me until one day he went from fine to dead in the matter of minutes due to an aggressive heart cancer that has the first symptom that can be seen usually be death. Due to our neighbour's house catching fire really damaging the wall that supports both houses I have had to move. Thanks to a few chronic health issues I do not have the ability to give a dog the exercise he needs if it is only by leash. At our last place we had a secure fenced in back yard Chandler could be run in or work off his zoomies with Rory; a husky we had at time.

I think about Chandler a lot and everything he did for me and want to help provide others with the same. So here I am.

The good news is though the gaming hasn't started yet we have already hit our initial goal!

The schedule as it currently stands is as follows: (All times are EST)

Friday Dec 6th 5pm-9pm - Goose Goose Duck multiplayer Saturday Dec 7th 11am-7pm - Dead By Daylight (There will be special incentives you will be able to buy via donations to determine who I play etc) Sunday Dec 8th 11am-7pm - Dead By Daylight (There will be special incentives you will be able to buy via donations to determine who I play etc) Monday Dec 9th 5pm-9pm - Roguelite gaming! (Oregon Trail, Haunted House, Hades) Tuesday Dec 10th 12pm - 5pm - Goal reached reward! - Farewell North

Here are the incentives that will be available ONLY during Saturday and Sunday.

Our next stretch goal is at $350 where I will add a daytime Ghostface practice stream to our schedule! (All of the stretch goals will add days and games to the event.)

Keep track of things or donate here! https://tilt.fyi/N06u9pi4bX I know that chances are you can't donate and that's perfectly okay but if you could help share the message that would be hugely appreciated!

Simple I have a chronic condition that is degrading my body into a sea of unending barely functionable pain so I can't do ANY job anymore.

If I left out an obvious answer I promise I'm not trolling, I'm just stupid

[mustangtries]

Every time I used a Pokemon Centre they would stop me to tell me that there was a mysterious Pokemon at Wedgehurst statement and needless to say I did not care. Though finally decided to deal with so I stopped having time burnt by that message. Despite the fact that Wonder Trading has given me a few extra Masterballs doing this made people unhappy. I don't know if it was cause of the sacred status we've given to Masterballs, how casually I did it, or me disrespecting Slowpoke. Regardless, it was funny.

It was a 2 hook game that turned into 2 kills. Instead of just leaving David wanted to bully me more with Boil Over all the while Meg apparently caught a fatal case of 'watch me leave'-itis. As a Survivor main I can't stress this enough...

Help Fellow DBD Players I've Made A Terrible Realization...

I'm a huge Scooby-Doo fan and I've been thinking about what killer or killers I want to play because I'm weird and want to play things I will enjoy beyond just their ability to win or mechanics. I've been loving Naughty Bear but I had a very sudden and weird realization; as a Scooby-Doo fan I should be maining the Knight.

How could the Knight possibly be related to Scooby-Doo. Well the very first episode of Scooby-Doo was 'What A Night For A Knight!'. I even have a Scooby-Doo themed build in my head I could on him, though it has no regression so I will get blown out all the time but who cares? The only thing less important that 4King as a killer is escaping as a survivor as long as you have fun during the match. But the Knight is the Knight which is a huge downside but I am still so tempted. Help talk me out of doing something stupid!

In case you were running into this issue!

So there were times where, while having two monitors and streaming some games would minimize themselves if I clicked on any window that wasn't theirs. Or on stream the game would freeze and the music would stop playing, or the stream would go blank and silent. Not everyone knows how to solve problem instantly, even in this day and age. I found the answer to the issue with a LOT of research. Here I'm gonna boil all those hours of research down to a single image. As long as the game in question has these options your issue will be solved.

Hey everyone this weekend I'll be playing DBD over on Twitch to raise money for the Freedom K9 Project; a service dog organization for survivors of sex trafficking & domestic violence. During the stream there will be incentives people can use their donations to choose, such as character I play and other such things. I'm doing this in memory of my dog Chandler who died around this time last year. I know how much good a service dog can do in terms of helping someone and want to help others get connected to the dogs they need. Now Tumblr doesn't allow direct linking so if you wanna watch some casual DBD just look for mustangaspen on Twitch. If you can't make it but would like to help; I made the campaign go live today though the streaming will be on the weekend. Go to Tiltify and just under their rotating banner of charities you will see 'Explore Our Community' click campaigns/teams and then search for 'Playing Dead By Daylight for Chandler'.

Simply sharing, and spreading the word will also help considerably! Thank you so much!

Dead By Daylight hot take from both sides...

From The Killer Side: "Getting kills isn't that important." I faced a Naught Bear who sweat his ass off to camp tunnel and troll his way to getting a single basement kill. At the end of the game he was super toxic about how he killed the Feng meaning he was better than her. This action resulted in him getting a mighty 8900 blood points from the match. He also said that this strategy usually gets him 4Ks until he runs into toxic groups like ours. We weren't a toxic group we were a group of solo players with enough experience to know that if Trapper is gonna face camp in basement then you do gens and leave; just like if it's Bubba. His obsession with 4Ks set him in a place where he ranked faster than his skill should have allowed. Instead of learning maps, kicking gens, and getting chase practice he is stuck in a place where I expect he will get 1 or 0 ks a round now earning under 10,000 bloodpoints a match doing it. Until Chucky comes out I main Naughty Bear and I get absolutely blown out more often than not when rank reset happens. But I'm practising my loops, my map awareness and the like. I have games where I get a couple hook but I on average get 25,000 bloodpoints a round. Once the MMR has settled to where it should be I get a 3k in almost half my matches? And I only face 'toxic' survivor SWFs when reset happens because they're way higher in the MMR than I am. As it should be. So who would you rather be the guy who never practices cause he hopes camping/tunneling will earn him kills and lower amounts of bloodpoints or the guy who has an actual chance every match because you've been learning and get paired up with people more likely to be your skill level? From The Survivor Side: "Escaping Isn't Always Your Friend." As a survivor once everyone else is out if the killer had a bad game I'll let them kill me, meme with them or whatever because escaping isn't that important. It's why I will more often than not take risks to unhook others so they can get out. I use it as a learning experience so I can try to become a better overall survivor. Sure I don't hit iridescent 1 meaning I miss out on getting slightly more of the infinite bloodpoints you can earn but I can also go days at a time without running into Blight, Wesker, Nurse, or Spirit. All the while getting 20k+ bloodpoints a round on my quest to prestige Steve. I run into survivors who are super obsessed with getting to iridescent 1 as fast as possible then complain that all they face are Weskers and Blights but hey at least they got out every game till they hit that plateau right? At least they made it to iridescent 1 in 10 days right?

But what if you like winning?

There is nothing wrong with liking winning but you have to ask yourself something. Am I as happy with what I am facing in my games the week before rank reset as I am the week after rank reset? If no then maybe you need to "win" a little less to get more games you enjoy playing.

If Dead By Daylight is going to create a forbidden kitty I'm gonna pet it. I was in a dead zone anyways.

[mustangtries]

A Steve has to Steve man...and yes I died but everyone else got out.

AITA For This Build As A New Killer?

First want to give a shout out to my spouse who up till now has done my killer rifts for me giving me access to the perks I want. Second I am curious if this build makes me an asshole? I've been using these as both slow down perks because I want as many chances as possible but also as info perks. I'm a survivor main, a dedicated survivor main and when these go off I know the usual path a killer SHOULD take to get to an affected area or gen, what path I would take as a Survivor to avoid them and then use that pathing instead. This has resulted in more than a couple of survivors basically running into my arms. As you can see I'm using Rickety Chains at the moment to gain those extra blood points to quicken perk mastery so I'm not 100% in it to win it at this stage. I just wanna take my shots! Lots of shots...

If you wanna know what type of player I want to be in the long term before answering the question I can lay out what long term plans I have.

While I have no plans for my perk loadout long term at this, as much as I want to say Devour Hope so I can mori I know Caleb can't protect it. Which makes me so sad cause I love his mori so much but what can you do?

Maybe you can tell by what I hope to be able to get good enough to advance to in terms of tiers of add-ons as I get more and more comfortable. From this:

To this:

Eventually to:

And if I ever get to live the dream...

I don't tunnel but it's hard to say whether I camp because while I do walk away from the hook to look for others if I see someone running up for the unhook I'm gonna take the shot. Doesn't matter whether you run up in my face or if it turns out I'm too far away to actually reach you. If I catch someone in my vision going for the unhook I'm shooting. As for slugging, if I down someone and you're right next to me or I hear you're about to pop a gen on the other side of the wall I'm gonna leave the downed person to take care of that, if you're running into a corner where there are no hooks repeatedly with your Boil Over build I may leave you, but I won't slug multiple people to get the 4K. I'm also a firm believer in respecting glyphs but respecting the 4% depends on how much of a troll/bully/obnoxious you were beforehand. Anyhow AITA?

I gotta say I was wrong about this perk, Lucky Star is probably Ripley's best perk and honestly I will swear by it for solo queues.

If you love flashlight saves being able to use it to follow chase and once your beamer is empty jump into a locker with Built To Last, come out with a recharged flashlight and info of where the current chase is. The same goes for toolboxes but if you don't wanna Built To Last your toolboxes, it only takes a second to find who is working on what gen so you are always maximizing your Prove Thyself value. Or how about if you love to run Head On? Getting to know where not to take the chase next is pretty huge and a nice free add-on. Or even using Inner Healing and Lucky Star always tells you to go next when you need to stop to heal yourself. Yesterday I tried Lucky Star by itself in solo queue with this build:

And here are some of the times Lucky Star really paid off for me: - When I wanted to know where everyone was against a Plague it showed me that a Yun-Jin was about to cleanse and given how the Plague had been playing I knew where the Plague would be going and what she would be doing. - On more than one occasion Lucky Starring right before attempting to break a really strong camp showed me all the moves my solo queue teammates were doing allowing for a much easier camp break - Upon finding out that no one else was going for an unhook it had shown me where the chase near hook was happening so I could do what would normally be really suboptimal pathing that made the unhook super safe - Being alone on Suffocation Pit with an injured Meg doing nothing, a Mikaela in chase, and an injured Tapp on some random generator. Lucky Star allowed me to make a path where I first ran into the injured Meg and finished healing her up, then take a hit to drain Demo's bloodlust against Mikaela, and cause the Demo stuck with Mikaela head to Tapp's gen to help him finish it before resetting. - Wesker couldn't find myself nor the injured Yui, I walked to reduce scratch marks and walked to some lockers with grass in front. Just after going in Wesker came around the corner, walked up to the lockers, stood there for a moment, presumably heard nothing and sped away terrified of losing us both. It's not S tier but man can this perk put in some work!

A couple of questions for Genshin players. I really enjoy Mika and want to build him up. so should I skip pulling on any banner till he comes back around in order to have the best chance of getting him up to C6? Is it really that important to C6 a character in general?

[mustangtries]

I just wanna say I enjoy being a Mika haver in Genshin! My account is so under developed that he tends to be my best DPS along with Cyno.

Question for DBD Tumblr

[mustangtries]

I found a magic book on the boat. I went to the Arcanist guild they tried to say it was a sign that I was meant to be one of them. I thought why not? Then they started dropping WAY too much on me. A hot human asked me; "You like stabbin'?" Now I'm a member of the Rogue's guild. Find my on Twitch under the same name
