I have not but I'll put them on for my drive today!

I got the Polyphia album on vinyl the other day!! The disc looks like a peppermint candy, it's so cool.

My parents raised me on alt rock and then I got weird with it

Today, two of my classmates in college were very surprised to discover that I am nearly 28, as both of them thought I was something like 20. That's either a really good compliment, or extremely disturbing.

You can add "-ton" to any monosyllabic non-proper noun and it sounds like you're referring to some village in the UK. Ah yeah, me mate's from Mouseton. Straight up the road from Forkton.

Thank you! I've been practicing :] And yes, I am!

This might genuinely make me quit content creation. I cannot afford this part time passion project that used to pay underwhelming dividends when it now pays in actual pennies. It doesn't help that I was already falling off, anyway.

At $27, I am effectively getting paid $3 an hour for how long it took me to edit this. That also doesn't cover the cost of the thumbnail, nor the fact that almost 15k people saw advertisements on this video but I'm getting paid for a *third* of what I used to.

This "engaged viewer" AI slop change has got to go. They say that I need a minimum of 15s viewed to count as an engaged view for revenue. I had 61% of people still watching after 43s on this video, but they only paid me for 37% of the total views. Normally a video like this would earn $70~$90 🙃

One more thing! I have played on the six indoor maps (112) more times than I have played on Autohaven, Coldwind, and MacMillan *combined* (101).

0102

Funny enough, I have seen Autodidact 19 times, which puts it on par with Boon: Exponential and Wiretap! Also I do not miss the days of FTP + Buckle Up lol

And that's all of it! I don't track much beyond that, though if you really want to dive into my stats, I do have a Nightlight profile that's public viewing (though I didn't start recording stats there until later in the year). Thanks for reading! nightlight.gg/u/shinycatma...

As a Killer, I have played against 160 of the 176 Survivor perks (90.9%) in 277 games, with the most common perks being: 1. Windows of Opportunity (282) 2. Resilience (258) 3. Lithe (225) 4. Dead Hard (190) Again, the following image shows what perks I have not seen.

Onto builds and perks! As a Survivor, I have played against 119 of the 145 Killer perks (82.07%) in 239 games, with the most common perks being: 1. SH: Pain Res (61) 2. Lethal Pursuer (48) 3. Nowhere to Hide (42) 4. Pop Goes the Weasel (34) The attached image lists what perks I have not seen.

I have faced 1108 Survivors, across 277 games of Killer. Far and away the most popular pick has been Sable (79), with second place being held up by Kate (55), then Lara Croft and Feng Min in third (53). The most popular male Survivor is Dwight (5th overall, 45, tied with Claudette).

120

4th place is jointly tied by four Killers: The Animatronic, The Deathslinger, The Nemesis, and The Legion (10).

110

Now, for the characters! In 239 matches of Survivor, I have not faced a single Krasue or Hag. My most common opponent has been The First (20) followed by The Judgment (17). If we ignore play rate spikes caused by new Killers though, I have faced The Mastermind the most (12).

There are 44 maps in Dead by Daylight. This means that roughly 25% of my games (130) have been on the same six maps (about 13% of the game's map pool). Toba Landing at 25 appearances almost outpaces the number of times that I have seen any of the five MacMillan maps (26), since February.

130

My most common maps across both roles are: 1. Toba Landing (25) 2. Badham Preschool (23) 3. The Underground Complex, The Game, Midwich Elementary school (tied; 21) 6. Nostromo Wreckage (19) If we count both wings of the RPD maps as one map, then that is my most common map (30; 17 West, 13 East).

Mae's DBD Stats update! Since February 9th, I have played 516 games of 1v4 DBD (277 Killer, 239 Survivor). In those games, I have played on every map a minimum of three times, with Greenville Square being my least frequent map (3).

After the PTB changes dropped for DBD, I've mostly been sitting on my hands waiting for them to come to live servers...

Or! Imagine it from the perspective of a gay man who is told that he's not "a real man" by his surviving peers, and that he gets devalued for not contributing to the typical family structure.

My Twitter got locked for "bot verification" and they want me to verify only through the app itself, so I guess I'm not using Twitter again lmao

*takes a swig of beer* Apocalypse stories are boring because most of them operate off of ableist and patriarchal premises. It's all "one guy does right by his nuclear family, and we will never once use this platform to point out how our former society horribly mistreated women and disabled persons."

Yeah I own all of the original games, but I need a way to record them for a video so... emulators it is!
