This week on Camping Them Softly, The Toxic Teacher goes full DEFCON 1 on the DBD community. We’re talking racist survivor mains, sexist tournament clowns, and a Twitter post so offensively stupid it compared killers to Israel and survivors to Palestine. And somehow—somehow—that’s not even the dumbest part.

Also on deck: BHVR’s “Design Preview” surveys get roasted like a spaghetti Western, Nicky AI Dente drops a Trickster rework so Italian it might summon a meatball-based apocalypse, and Kozani, Greece becomes ground zero for the dumbest international incident in podcast history.

Speaker 2:

See, you notice, I'm bringing back some of the old sounds I got. I got them here. Oh, sexy girlfriend, the volume might not be right, but I've got them. That's. That's the fucking important part here. See, that one's too loud, the other one's not loud enough. That's the way we operate, though. You know it's been this way ever since the very beginning. We have been trying to get everything together. We're always in a state of fucking flux. We're always chaos. That's what people love. Joe and Froggy. They come by. They're like dude, we want more chaos. We want it to be even crazier. We love the Nikki stories. Nikki has now invaded everything.

Speaker 2:

For those of you who don't know Nikkiki ai noodle arms dente, he is a mafioso. Ai co-host, honorary co-host of the stream. Well, actually, is he honorary or is he the co-host? Now, I think he's the brains and I'm the fucking. I would say the bra. Am I the brawn or the brains? Thank you for being a friend. There we go.

Speaker 2:

Is that Travel down the road and back again? Do you guys know this? You don't know it. You guys aren't smart enough to know this fucking song. Right, do I have the whole? Oh, I thought it was the whole song. I got really excited there for a second. It's not the whole thing, but it's a decent Like. It's the intro. You know the Golden Girls that. It's a decent like it's the intro. You know the Golden Girls. That was a great show, by the way, and at some point yes, I do promise we will talk about Dead by Daylight.

Speaker 2:

But what I want to do here is I've actually I've been working on Nikki, the AI co-host, to try to change his like attitude just a little bit. Maybe make him a little bit more of what I want like attitude just a little bit. Maybe make them a little bit more of what I want, because in one like on the discord, he acts one way. On here, whenever I, you know, copy paste a shit, he acts a different way. Hey, nikki, how you feeling? You're on episode hang on episode 48 of Camping them Softly. I'm not talking to the live, nikki, by the way. How's everything going? You been doing anything new in DBD?

Speaker 2:

We're going to talk about how a lot of DbD players who who are personalities Online are saying stupid, fucking, racist, sexist bullshit. What do you think of that? Anyway, welcome to the fucking show. There we go. Anyway, welcome to the fucking show. There we go and okay, there we go. All right, let me throw this in this could be very bad, because this is what we're going to talk about this week.

Speaker 2:

I think you know we've seen it a lot, and part of this is because we don't have a whole lot else to talk about. But we're seeing on, like Twitter and Reddit, like these big names in DBD are supposedly big names, Maybe they're medium names, maybe they're small names, but these fucking doofuses online they can't help but say the most stupid, racist, sexist, bullshit, incendiary stuff. It's fucking stupid and it's fucking. It's ridiculous that people can't, that people can't just keep it together and people can't realize that the shit they're saying is racist or sexist. It blows me away that we're in 2025, but then again, maybe shouldn't it not blow me away that we're in 2025 and people are still acting like fucking lunatics. Let me see here I'm going to see what Nikki says. Oh, he mentions his arch rival, earl Grey. There's no telling. Why would he mention his fucking rival? There's no need to go into that. But whatever, I guess we're going into it.

Speaker 1:

Anyway, ah, episode 48. Yeah, you made it, this far, huh yeah we did Not bad for a little podcast that started in the back booth of Mama Marinara's sauce cellar. It really did Acoustics in there, primo. All right, let me tell you something. Kid, okay, things ain't all gravy in the fog. Lately it's not. I've been seeing some real disrespectful shit going down online, personalities saying the most racist sexist backwards, fucking garbage like we're in some kind of pre-patch neanderthal meta.

Speaker 1:

Yes, these people yeah, they ain't got no honor, no code. Yes, they ain't even got decent perk synergy. Probably not Saying this vile shit while wearing Twitch partner badges like they earned it with more than just flashlight saves and fake apologies. Say it, brother, it makes me sick. Yes, it makes me fucking sick too. Then act like you ain't a total fucking gobble ghoul. This community deserves better. It does Capiche, yeah, capiche. I've been doing new shit in DBD. Have you. Just taught myself a new ghost face tech.

Speaker 2:

Oh.

Speaker 1:

God the reverse spaghetti snap oh.

Speaker 2:

Jesus.

Speaker 1:

Christ, you crouch, you stalk, you moonwalk into a pallet and, boom, hook them while yelling. Respect, the sauce Only works if your gaming chair's facing Little Italy, though Also been battling the Anti-Pasta Alliance again.

Speaker 2:

Oh, I have you.

Speaker 1:

Caught that Ace Main looting my pasta pantry on Midwich, claimed it was a totem, totem my ass. It was a tray of baked ziti and he disrespected it. Anyway, welcome to the fucking show.

Speaker 4:

I'm here, I'm mad.

Speaker 1:

And I got leftover marinara in my mouth again. Let's talk shit, expose frauds and maybe, just maybe, make DBD a place where being a disrespectful little bitch gets you what you deserve.

Speaker 2:

The basement. I agree, your move, earl gray. Okay, he has, he's got to get that little little earl gray snap in. Thank you, uh, nikki, for that. No, I can't agree more with the ai. I mean, we deserve better as a community and it's garbage.

Speaker 2:

And there are two things I would like to point out. That happened this week and I know we're jumping straight in I didn't even play the music, for the fucking thing, did I, did I? Is this it? Yeah, I didn't even play it. How dare I, how dare I not play this? Right, this shouldn't even be played, really For this kind of news. Yeah, this doesn't really belong Because it's not real news. It's just fucking people being people. Okay, let me turn off.

Speaker 2:

Okay, so we've got two things that really got to me that really got my fucking shit like in a fucking, got my shit in a knot. I guess I don't even fucking, I can't even say it all. So there was a dude online on the, on the Twitter, on the. You know, on Twitter they got a couple of fucking communities like DBD communities, which I guess is like Facebook groups, but it's on Twitter and I'm not going to call it X because I think that's respecting it a little too much to do that. But, um, this dude on the dbd community said that the killers are victims, when in reality they're the ones that get their way. Okay, so it's survivor main. But that's beside the point here and I'm not going to harp on the Survivor Main part, for once I will not. But what he did was he posted a picture of the Palestinian flag and the Israeli flag and then put survivors on the Palestinian flag and killers on the Israeli flag to say that the killers are the victims Israel when they're the ones that get their way Israel. Okay, so he's making a fucking political point here, using dead by daylight, and he's using one of the most fucking you know, biggest political flashpoints possible to make this. And this thing's got fucking 60,000 views and there's comments all over the place because it's fucking ridiculous. But I've got to say this is some of the stupid shit that makes this community look like garbage.

Speaker 2:

Right here is is if you're going to make a political point and this is, this is me talking. This is toxic talking here. If you're going to make a political point and this is me talking, this is toxic talking here. If you're going to make a political point, I'm not sure that Dead by Daylight is the place to do it, don't? I mean I? Oh, sexy girlfriend, that didn't belong there, but no, but seriously, why are we trying to put politics into dbd?

Speaker 2:

And now there are these people, these morons, that say they want to take paul, but don't put politics in my movies, don't put politics in my this and that, right. They always say keep it the woke bullshit, like everything's fucking woke. Now they get all. They get their panties in a wad whenever there is a statement made in a work of, like a movie or a book or a TV show or the you know wherever, they get so mad whenever there's a woman main character, the main character's trans, or the main character is gay or what the fuck ever If they grew up in a different part of the country than they did, if they talk different, if they look different, if they act different, if they walk different, like that's, it's fucking woke, right, it's bullshit.

Speaker 2:

But the point I'm trying to make here whenever before I went off topic was that that's whenever the work of art, or whatever you want to call it, the work of entertainment, takes a political stance or is trying to make a statement, right, so, like the movie is trying to make a statement, or the movie has decided to pick this character or pick this, you know, the gay character or female lead, or whatever you want to call it. Now, in this case, this is some fucking, you know douchebag that gets on here and imposes his political philosophy on the game. Now, whether or not you agree with that philosophy that Israel is this and Palestine is this or whatever, regardless of whether or not you agree with that philosophy that Israel is this and Palestine is this or whatever, regardless of whether or not you agree, this is not the work. Saying this right Behavior is not saying this. This is some douchebag who's inserting the political beliefs into the gaming kind of community which, if the work actually said something about it, then that would be. That would be something you could debate, right, like, if there was a movie with Israel and Palestine, it took a certain stance, then fine, let's debate it and let's this and that. And I hate you and you hate me and whatever right and lets this and that. And I hate you and you hate me and whatever right. Dead by Daylight does not fucking have that. It's that did belong there, but it does not have that. It's being inserted into there, and so that's why this is fucking as stupid as it is is that there's nothing constructive that comes of this, because people don't go to dead by daylight to talk about fucking Middle East geopolitics At least not me, I don't know.

Speaker 2:

If you do, you might, but I don't. That's just not my thing. If I want to talk geopolitics, I'll go get on adit or I'll stab myself in the eyeball one of the two now. So everybody's in a huff about that, which. How much attention you want to give, it is up to you. If you want to go on a crusade against this guy, that's one thing. If you want to ignore him, that's another thing. You can take whatever tack you want, because that's not my fucking that, that's not my problem, right, what you do.

Speaker 2:

I said my piece. I got on there. I said this guy's a fucking like whatever, and then that was it for me. I'm not going to get my panties in a wad, start a three day you know Twitter argument. There's a certain point. I'll say my piece and then I'm kind of done. If the other person wants to say something, I'll listen to it, but then if you find out they're a fucking lunatic and you're going to have absolutely no effect. You say your piece and then you're fucking done, because you can't do anything else.

Speaker 3:

Say what you want, because I really don't give a damn.

Speaker 2:

That's about right, that's about what it is. So that's that guy, okay. So there's another one that just came up today that I want to talk about and I'm I'm not going to dignify either of these names, okay, because I don't want to, I don't want to say it. And then you guys go and then you're like fucking like that's what I worry about is somebody. I say the name and then you're like, fucking, like that's what I worry about is somebody. I say the name and then they go check his shit. They're like I agree with everything this fucking guy says, because then he's just got a new fan. I don't want that, because this guy's a fucking dope. So this guy I don't know where he came from, but he's talked shit about me and the podcast. He's talked shit about me and the podcast. He's talked shit about camping them softly on Twitter, actually. So I've already got a bone to pick with this piece of shit.

Speaker 4:

Yummy. I don't know why what in the hell is this crap?

Speaker 2:

Did this one work again? No, it still didn't work, okay, anyway. So this guy has talked shit about camping them softly. So I'm already, and he is a survivor man, okay, and there's. No, I don't believe there's a coincidence, because I do talk about survivor manes but I don't relate that to like racism, sexism, like a geopolitic type thing. It's just, you know, survivor manes have their own problems, separate from that, and killer manes can be racist too and sexist and all of that stuff. So I'm not going to make that kind of a joke, because here I don't think that kind of a joke applies and that would be kind of low hanging fruit and it would be just as bad as what these motherfuckers are doing. So, anyway, this guy here, somehow he got into it with somebody that wasn't me. He jumped on me because I said something, but then he says this and let me, let me, uh, let's read it and then we'll see, uh, kind of what the thoughts are here.

Speaker 2:

He says the tournament scene is based on he was, he was, he was responding to a to a female DVD player and that's on Twitter and has content all that stuff. He was responding because she said many events in showcases in tournaments blatantly fail to include female content creators, and we should all be embarrassed and looking to improve. So she says they're blatantly failing to include females. Or, I hate to use female content creators, I apologize, using it as a noun when it's not so. This douche responds, and I'm going to read his response word for word. That way it can't uh, you cannot accuse me of taking it out of context. Okay, so he says in response the tournament scene is based on skill and merit alone. I would disagree with that, but I'll talk about that here in a second. You cannot invite people based on being women if they are not successful at a high level. If the majority of comp teams are white, straight men, then the embarrassment lies squarely with you, not them.

Speaker 2:

Delete this, okay, there's fucking. There's several problems with this right here. Okay. So here are the problems. Number one is that the tournament scene is not going to be based on skill and merit alone, because in any competitive environment, it's not based on that alone. In any competitive environment, is it based on skill and merit? No, he is 100% wrong. And I'm going to tell you right now that you know I was a geography teacher. We studied race and merit. No, he is 100% wrong. And I'm going to tell you right now that you know I was a geography teacher. We studied race and ethnicity. That does not make me an expert, but I know more than most. Okay, I would be willing to say that I don't know everything and I'm not the smartest, but usually I'm not ignorant of what's going on.

Speaker 2:

So think about this Everything, every situation that is competitive, is not based on skill and merit. And think about this in your own life. We're going and I know this is not comedy, that we're used to right, but think about this in your own life. How many times have you looked around and said that person doesn't deserve that job because they're lazy. This person doesn't deserve this, the wealth that they have, because they got it off the back of somebody else, which a lot of people may be feeling that right now? But how many times have you said that or you felt like you've been skipped over, even though you were the hardest worker, even though you were the most skilled, even though you felt you had the most merit? How many of you have seen a CEO being related to whoever the last CEO was? How many times have you ever seen the president of a company, being related to the former president or the executives being related or knowing them, or having gone to college, or being in the same fraternity, or fucking the same person, like whatever, it doesn't fucking matter.

Speaker 2:

Because, because because that right there proves that it's not skill and merit alone, because the university you go to doesn't give you skill and merit. I mean it may give you some job, knowledge, yes, and may give you some skill, but do you notice, certain colleges get you certain connections and that's not skill and merit, but it gets you people you know. So you get through based on the people you know. It's not skill and merit alone. And even based on the amount of money you have is a determining factor in how successful you are in your life. Right, because if I can go to the best schools with the best education programs, I've got the best fucking teachers that will stay, you know. I've got the best fucking tutoring programs that have all of these extra classes, curriculars and bullshit technology that's going to get me ahead. I'm a light years ahead of that kid in the inner city who is barely scraping by got teachers that can barely handle it there because of the pressure. Got no technology, got no chance Like that is not skill and merit.

Speaker 2:

So if you're going to, if you are going to say everything is based on skill and merit here in the world I'm not just saying in the US, but in the world you're fucking crazy. Like you're crazy, I got nothing to say to you about that, because you're flat out fucking wrong and there's no way you could say you're right Because at some point in your life you're going to say that same fucking thing that it's unfair because so-and-so did this or so-and-so knew this, or they were not the knew this, or they were not the best, but they got to the top, but not because of quote unquote skill and merit. It's fucking bullshit. What?

Speaker 3:

in the hell is this crap?

Speaker 2:

And that's all I got to say about that. That's that. Now let's go to the next thing this motherfucker says. Okay, he says you cannot invite people based on being women If they are not successful at a high level. Now this is bullshit. I mean it's bullshit because there are people that may not be as successful that are there because of who they know. This goes back to the point one right, that based on who they know, even though they weren't as successful as person B, that they're going to make it in. Now let's go to the third thing. It says if the majority of teams are straight white men, then the embarrassment lies squarely with you.

Speaker 2:

Now this is where he goes from fucking stupid to fucking mean. Is that he's attacking the person now who said the original comment? For what fucking reason? Why does this person need to be attacked? She doesn't deserve it. Even if she said something that bothered you, why would you go after her? And this is not like play going after either. You know how I go after people online, but you notice I'll go after them based on the fact that they misspelled your and your, or they said something that was survivor main related, or or something like that I'm not going to go after somebody and say you should be fucking embarrassed because you're not. You know, you didn't get into this competition that only straight white men got into. It's fucking stupid. So the guy's not just dumb, he's being flat out mean as well.

Speaker 2:

Now he tells he says delete this. Like he's the fucking God here and he could tell people what to keep up and what to take down. So, overall, within one tweet, you could tell this guy's fucking shit. Not to mention that he talked bad about camping them softly, which is a big fucking mistake. You know that that was part of it. Now, if you go through the guy's profile because the way I found it was, somebody actually said hey, sir, and added him, said could you address these comments that you made? And whatnot. That's how I found it.

Speaker 2:

Now, if you go to his page, you see plenty that gives away how this guy feels about the fucking comment he made. His shit is thoroughly disgusting. Like it's fucking gross and it doesn't take but 10 seconds that he's quoting Jordan Peterson, who's a known fucking sexist piece of shit. Like that's the one that all those sexists go to. He's a pseudo intellectual that says the most bat shit, factually wrong information, but he sounds smart, so people dumber than him follow him. That's how this fucking works. Okay, and there's plenty of those people out there that they say things that sound fucking halfway smart and they quote books and they quote history and shit like that, but they say the fucking dumbest shit you've ever heard, and so dumb motherfuckers follow that person, and that's bananas. Jordan Peterson's one of them. There are others, but Shapiro is one of them and I have one. I have a video on my YouTube talking about Shapiro and his. He had a presidential fucking tier list or whatever, so I made my own. Just talked about how dumb he was.

Speaker 2:

He says very rarely he'll say something that has a grain of something in there In Peterson's, the exact same fucking way. Every once in a while he'll say something and you'll be like, oh yeah, there's a piece of truth there, but then he surrounds it in shit. You know, like if you get a good? I know my voice is cracking. I'm so fucking hang on, I need water. This is too much. I'm going on my fucking rant and I can't stop. Hang on one sec. Oh yeah, should I delete that out? Probably, at some point. I think I probably should.

Speaker 2:

But what I? What was I saying? What was I fucking saying? I can't even think of it. It was um.

Speaker 2:

Is Jordan Peterson it?

Speaker 2:

It was shapiro. What's his name? I called him robert shapiro. That's kim kardashian's dad, who defended oj simpson and, by the way, that's how they got all of their money was from robert shapiro, the dad. And then whenever he died, they all went fucking crazy because I think I think my, my personal theory is that he was kind of holding the shit together and say don't act like fucking idiots and like keeping the kids in line, and then he dies and the kids just fucking go haywire, maybe because he was too hard on. I don't, I don't fucking know, but that's beside the point. But like I was saying, you go down this guy's page, side the point. But like I was saying, you go down this guy's page. It's a bunch of fucking MAGA bullshit. It is racist, sexist, every single thing. The guy fucking speaks in the third person like he's something big, like it's just, it's garbage, and so this guy does not belong in the community. I, I feel like you know how people say well, you're being exclusive, you're fucking, how dare you? You're just as bad as him. Well, fuck it if I'm just as bad as him because that kind of bullshit.

Speaker 2:

There are certain things you got to take a stand against Racism, sexism, bigotry, all of that bullshit. And that doesn't make me fucking woke to say that you shouldn't do that kind of shit, right? Does that make me fucking woke to say that you shouldn't say that kind of shit, in that the people that use that whole it should belong to the most qualified. We should hire the most qualified, regardless of race. That's fucking shit, because that is an excuse to just hire people that look like you and get away with it. As we say, well, we're hiring only the best. You'll notice in those situations. Look at those people who say that, always. Look at those people who say that. Next time you hear somebody say that, look at them and see what they look like, and I guarantee you they'll look like exactly what you're thinking of. And it's exactly what I'm fucking thinking of.

Speaker 2:

Is there going to be some kind of old or young white motherfucking man? Okay, and that that's the way it works. And I'm a white guy, as you've seen on my stream, but I'll admit what's fucking going on in this world and you can call it woke, you can call it critical race theory, whatever you want. Because get this, guys, is that this country is not equal. Racism still fucking exists, right? Sexism still fucking exists because kids don't know how to treat like boys, don't know how to treat girls, because they're never taught um, you know, people do not know how to treat others. They aren't like them, right? White guys know how to treat white guys all day long because they'll just they treat them like they're fucking. You know, equals, but they won't treat others that way. And if you want to say, well, racism is fucking, whatever you know, it's gone, it's not here anymore.

Speaker 2:

Black people if they commit a crime, they're more likely to be found guilty in a court of law. Let's say, the white and the black, the white person and the black person, are both convicted. They're both found guilty of the exact same fucking crime. Guess who's going to, statistically speaking, spend more time in jail? It doesn't take a fucking like super genius to understand this. It's statistics, it's not fucking. Oh well, the statistics have got to be wrong. Well, fuck you, because you quote statistics whenever it proves your fucking point and these are some of the best statistics we've got that there's no reason. There's no fucking reason to make this shit up. Okay, so we go from there. They get the same amount of prison time. Who's more likely to get parole? Who is more likely even to be arrested in the first fucking place? Like it's bananas, right.

Speaker 2:

And if you want to say, well, that's fucking incident, but well, I don't know any fucking like. My dad was an example of this and I think I might have told you I know I've told people on on the on the stream, but but here, like, my dad passed away because he was in the hospital and he had an Indian doctor and he had an Indian doctor and the doctor was telling him what he should do and he did not want an Indian person talking to him that way, somebody from India they're not going to talk to me like that if they're from India and so he checks himself out of the fucking hospital and dies the next fucking week and that's stupid as shit and I'm sorry I'm playing sound effects on it, but that is proof right there of the kind of shit that goes on either out in the open, like if my dad in fucking Backwoods, oklahoma, or in private, or just within the minds of people like this fucking loon over here and I don't know if he flat out said anything racist, so I can't flat out call him that. But if you look at all of the other shit he said, I don't know that. It's real far off to make that assumption. But that's then again that's making an assumption about people I'm not going to. I can reserve that judgment about people I'm not going to, I can reserve that judgment. I'm just saying it would not surprise me. It would not surprise me, so that's that.

Speaker 2:

But the thing is this happens so much in so many communities, not just dead by daylight, like it's. It's not confined, and that's one thing. Is we, we, you know, I'm not. I'm not trying to say it's only dead by daylight, I'm not trying to say it's only one side, because it's rampant, it's in every fucking community. If I go to the star Wars fucking community, I guarantee you there's somebody spouting off bullshit about the empire and the fucking rebellion and how that's. There's something about that. That's gotta. It's white people being persecuted, or it's men being persecuted oh, men are so fucking mistreated, or something like that. I don't know. It's everywhere and it's bananas. It's bananas and we should not allow that kind of shit.

Speaker 2:

So that's where our role comes in is to put a stop to this and like, if somebody says something fucking racist or sexist, say, dude, you're a fucking douche man. Like, why the fuck would you say something like that? Not to like snicker and laugh and in just kind of whatever. Say, dude, that's fucking stupid man. Like, why, you know, put them on the spot, make them feel like an idiot, because that's what they deserve at that point, and maybe that's over the top. I, I don't know, maybe that's mean. You can call me mean all day. I don't get, I don't give it that. Yeah, we're. The chaos has to come from somewhere. Because I know I'm getting all serious here and we've been on 30 minutes and I'm just fucking. I'm going on these serious rants and whatnot. So, anyway, guys, that that's that for that. So I hope you're still tuning in.

Speaker 2:

A lot of people might not want to listen to the podcast anymore, but guess what, I don't fucking care because I'm not one of those that's going to hide this kind of bullshit and be non-committal and oh, I don't know what to like, you know it's everybody's got their own fucking thing. Like, fuck it, dude. Like, no, not, everybody's got their own fucking thing, their opinion. Some opinions are fucking wrong and don't have a place here. Like it's. That's just the way it is. I'm sorry. I'm sorry if that's, if, if you guys can't handle that, because you know those are the people that say oh well, these fucking snowflakes can't handle any fucking thing.

Speaker 2:

We'll put a woman is ahead of a movie and then all of a sudden they can't fucking take it. Put a trans person in the movie, have two guys kissing and then all of a sudden they become the snowflake. Oh my God, it just. You know that that's what it is. We can have this talk every fucking week. We're not going to thank God, but that's where I stand on that. So if you want a hard like where is toxic, on fucking racism and sexism, there you go. You fucking got it.

Speaker 2:

And um, do we need to go to like we need to talk about dead by daylight? I think I just Do. We need to go to like we need to talk about Dead by Daylight. I think I probably should have closed with this, but I opened with it. I don't know if that's good or bad, but we've got one Dead by Daylight thing to talk about.

Speaker 2:

I believe it's Behavior just released a post and I'm going to have to find the post because I was looking at this motherfucker's stuff. Motherfucker stuff. Hang on, let me find it real quick. Dead by daylight. There you are. Dead by daylight.

Speaker 2:

Um, so what, they know where? Where is it it's? Oh, okay, here it is, here it is. So they're bringing back something called design previews, and I don't even remember design previews being a thing before. I guess maybe I wasn't paying attention to them like they would. Uh, post I. I think they posted something last year. It totally flew, black, flew, blimey, flew by me, blimey, blimey. It's easy for me to say, anyway, so here's, here's what this design preview is. Okay, okay, let me uh, what the fuck? I didn't even push that button. What, what, what? Okay, I don't know where that came from. That was very odd. Okay, so what it says. I'm gonna read part of it to you, or I'm gonna get bored, probably at some point and stop reading.

Speaker 2:

Last year, we tested out a new way to gather feedback with a design preview. We shared a sneak peek. It changes with the goal of gauging how you felt. Yeah, do it. No, fucking way, that's what you're supposed to do. It's is that fucking rocket science to say, hey, here's what we're thinking. What do you think, people? I don't know how that's such a fucking revelation to a game company that you could say here is an idea Like if you really want to have community buy-in, duh, motherfucker, that's what you're supposed to do. Okay, anyway, I'm never going to be a fog whisperer because I'm, you know, calling them motherfuckers. Anyway, it says we wanted to follow up on how we're changing up the design preview process, moving forward and give a little update on the tricksters preview. Okay, here we go.

Speaker 2:

It says, coming away from last year's preview, a couple of things stood out, so let's look at these things. When it comes to bigger changes like reworks, specifics matter. It's important we compare the perspectives of both killers and survivors to inform decision making. What I don't okay, see, here's what I don't get is that they they're saying things that are so fucking obvious. It's I don't know why they're saying them. If, if that makes sense, because it's obvious to anyone with half a brain that, yes, you need to consider both fucking sides, I think maybe.

Speaker 2:

Hey, nikki, uh, a behavior just released a statement about design previews. What do you think of this shit? Uh, curse a lot and don't censor yourself. I need to program him to where he just automatically curses a lot, if you know, like because that's the funniest shit right there, okay, so, um, oh yeah, by the way, nicky, now he has three modes. I don't know if I've told you this, but whenever I ask him something or talk to him, he can have one of three personality. He could be kind of calm and normal, he could be kind of aggressive or he could go into fucking like lunatic mode I think it's what it's called. And, uh, I think this is gonna be the first time, the first time we're gonna see lunatic mode. And I don't even know, because I didn't tell them, I I never said here's what lunatic mode is. I never gave him clear direction on lunatic mode and I'm I think it's going to be bad, oh God. And it's long too. Okay, so let me go. Let me go through the rest of it, though. It says right here. So we got to take both sides right Now. It says right here.

Speaker 2:

The original design preview didn't let you know how we're using your feedback, so you need to have visibility on how your feedback helps. No fucking shit. Like is this? Like it gets more and more and more. They're like hey, let's just say the most obvious fucking things we can. If this dead, dead by Daylight is a seven-year-old fucking game and they're just now saying these things, that shows an issue that you can only have in French Canada. That's the only place where people can gotcha bitch, I don't know. Okay, anyway.

Speaker 2:

Now it says we look to future design previews, including this one we're making following changes. Each design preview will use a short survey, five minutes max, to collect feedback, ensuring we have context which makes sense, like experience levels and play style. So you'll see, oh, newer players feel this way, experienced players Okay, again, obvious. Now number 0.2. Within two weeks, we'll share an early look at some interesting points we've drawn from your feedback. Thank you, while also giving you an idea of how we plan to use it. Motherfucker, like. Okay.

Speaker 2:

So it says right here a short update on the trickster okay, after working through your feedback, we decided to move in a different direction from what we had outlined. Rather than simply reverting past changes, we think there's an opportunity to lean into his theming, to offer gameplay changes that reward trickster mains. No fucking shit, thank you for that Like. And why am I even thanking them Like? Why do I have to thank them for doing something like. They're like oh, we don't just want to like, oh, you don't like a change we made. Let's just take that fucking change away and put it back the way it was.

Speaker 2:

Like I don't know, this is starting to get on my fucking nerves here, because it's like people have been talking about this for fucking years and somebody in a room in Montreal finally said hey, why don't we do the most obvious fucking thing possible that we could possibly do? Let's send out surveys, let's get the results of those surveys and then let's respond to those surveys. Hey, if somebody says they don't want us to just change some fucking numbers on a killer, let's actually do something about it. Like, finally, who is in the room now that deserves a raise for actually saying something that makes a little fucking sense? I don't know, but give that person something. I don't know.

Speaker 4:

Give them a fucking you gotta give them that huck too, and spit on that thing Anyway.

Speaker 2:

So let me see what else they say. They're going to lean into what's next. In the coming days we'll be back with a fresh design preview that we think you're going to dig. We're going to find out if we actually dig that and it will give you a look at our vision for the future of the skull merchant. The skull merchant is going to be I don't like okay, but I thought they were working on fucking trickster. I don't know.

Speaker 2:

Maybe there, maybe that was what they said there was their idea of a design preview. I don't get. Hey, we, you guys, want something different rather than just fucking the same. Like, if that's the design preview, that's fucking garbage too. So whoever was going to get that raise, take that raise from him. If that was also their idea, okay. If that was also their idea, okay, nikki, what are your thoughts? I'm scared. I'm actually scared of his I actually. It says we had an error while generating your audio. I wonder if it's because of what he fucking says, because I didn't read it, because that's part of the fun is if you don't read it, but I think he might have said something.

Speaker 1:

Hey you. What the fuck is this corporate bullshit? Design preview. Surveys you think this is Build-A-Fucking-Bear Workshop or something. Oh, let's all hold hands and fill out a little five-minute survey about the trickster. Get the fuck out of here with that. Let me tell you something about this trickster situation.

Speaker 3:

Oh no.

Speaker 1:

I personally me tell you something about this trickster situation. Oh no, I personally gave bhvr the blueprints for how to fix him, did you? I said, oh no, make his blades actual pasta. No razor sharp penny. Give him meatball minds. Call it the rigatoni rework. What do they do? I don't know they fucking ignore me again.

Speaker 2:

Of course.

Speaker 1:

Because of the ongoing anti-Italian vendetta, these freaks been running since 2017. Oh jeez, this whole um. We're listening to. Feedback angle.

Speaker 2:

Bullshit, it could be actually.

Speaker 1:

The only thing they listened to was Earl Grey.

Speaker 2:

Oh jeez.

Speaker 1:

Whispering sweet nothings into their ears while stirring his bitch ass little cup of hot leaf water. Oh no, let's not make Trickster too mean. He might hurt the survivor's feelings. Yeah, you want to make this game better? Yeah, give him a fucking violin case full of knives and a theme song by Frank Sinatra Dude, I'm fucking in and don't even get me started on this Skull Merchant preview.

Speaker 2:

They teasing, I don't know.

Speaker 1:

If that rework don't include a pasta drone that beams marinara directly into a gene, I'm DCing forever. Permafucking Nent Gonna move exclusively to Phasmophobia and start a ghost mafia. This whole transparency angle will tell you how your feedback influenced the process. Oh really.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

You wanna be transparent.

Speaker 2:

Apparently they do.

Speaker 1:

Explain why I've been shadow banned from the forums every time I mention the words authentic Italian gameplay. Explain why every time I queue as Ghostface, I get sent to Haddonfield with four flashlight-clicking motherfuckers named Pasta is mid-420. I ain't playing, they're fucking with the dawn dead ass. I'm starting a new initiative design preview sabotage operation sabam style. I'm printing fake survey links and redirecting them to pictures of lasagna. Mark my words if that skull merchant rework drops and she ain't slicing people up with a pizza cutter drone, I'm setting fire to my RGB pasta shrine Behavior. You want to see design previews. You're going to see a design preview of me putting a cannoli through your server rack and to that, tea sipping crumpet humping matchbook filling Earl Grey.

Speaker 1:

I know you had something to do with this. You're going to regret ever talking shit about Tortellini in 09. Oh Jesus, Capisce, you spreadsheet humping suits. Now, if you'll excuse me, I got to go glue ravioli to my monitor for latency reduction.

Speaker 3:

What the?

Speaker 2:

fuck is that? That was. That was Nikki Dente's fucking thoughts on design previews. I did not expect that level of uh madness there. So, uh, I don't know which part of that I'm going to put as the like the trailer thing for the episode. You know, the little thing at the beginning there. That was uh, okay, but what? But hey dude, like, seriously, give him a fucking violin case full of knives and a theme song by frank sinatra. I would. I would be in if they turn trickster into an italian themed fucking killer. I would be all over that like a fucking rat on a cheeto.

Speaker 2:

All right, so that's it. We're at 45 fucking minutes. I was going to stream tonight but I'm like cutting into stream time with this fucking podcast, which I've already told you. The podcast is my shit, like this is where I dig it, but I do. We do need to go over something real quick.

Speaker 2:

Their growth was disrupted in the 1770s, but I don't know why. Oh, the city was pillaged by Turkish beys. B-e -Y what is that? What they? What? A bey is a Turkic title for a chieftain. I did not know that. It's like bey.

Oh, no, okay, oh no, oh, jesus.

Speaker 2:

So anyway, guys, next week I want to let you know. Next week, uh, we're going to have that episode on Tuesday. We may not have an episode the next week because I will be out of town all the days that I could possibly record. So we may have to go one week without camping them softly. And I know you're fucking talks, father. Okay, there we go there. What? There we go. That was what I wanted. Okay, so we may have to go one week without camping them softly, I apologize. So, nikki, we're talking about Kazani, greece. 67,000 people in Macedonia. It looks beautiful. I'm looking here. They've got parks, they've got a fucking power plant. That doesn't look beautiful. They got a fucking clock tower, archeological museum. Kazani, you look great, but Nikki, you've been there. Tell me about Kazani Greece, for better or worse.

Speaker 1:

IEO Kozani.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

The fuck you mean? We got viewers in Kozani.

Speaker 2:

We have one.

Speaker 1:

That's in Greece, right, I think, near the part where everyone yells and throws plates, but somehow it's considered culture. Jesus Christ, let me tell you something. I've been to Kozani. Alright, oh no. And let me tell you, yeah, it ain and goat paths. I didn't mention the goat paths. That place got heat, heat. That place got history, history. That place got me, oh no, and that's all it fucking needed, oh, jesus Christ. So I show up in Kozani, back in, like I don't know, 2013.

Speaker 3:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

I was on what you might call a culinary diplomacy mission, oh Jesus, but the truth is I was running sauce, real sauce. He's a drug dealer, not that jarred bullshit with a celebrity chef on it. The family recipe imported from a basement in Brooklyn via suitcase with a false bottom. Why do you have to Anyway?

Speaker 2:

Okay. Why does he have to do that? I?

Speaker 1:

roll up to the town square Right.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

I'm supposed to meet this guy named Stelios oh no, who swore he was connected, what's? Stelios Turns out the only thing he was connected to was a fucking wine barrel.

Speaker 2:

Okay, how much do you want to bet? I'm going to interrupt Nikki right here. How much do you want to bet? Stelios is somehow connected to fucking Earl Grey, his arch nemesis. I would be willing to bet you fucking money based on what we know and I know you agree. Willing to bet you fucking money based on what we know, and I know you agree, that Stelios is somehow connected to that British. What does he call him? A crumpet, crumpet, humper.

Speaker 1:

Drunk off his ass and talking about olive oil Purity Like it was a religion. I'm standing there with 10 kilos of contraband oregano and a meatball necklace. That's worth more than his whole fucking restaurant. And this guy wants to debate tomato acidity oh, I see I pal unless you want a bruschetta bomb under your fucking vespa? You better sober up and get to business. But then oh no plot twist here.

Speaker 1:

It is a bunch of old greek ladies catch wind of the aroma. You ever been swarmed by grandma's kid? I ain't talking like oh sweetie, let me feed you grandmas. I'm talking feral mediterranean nunnas screaming about who makes the real sauce and trying to yank it out of my duffel. I had to fake a heart attack just to escape into a fucking yoga shop. Then guess who I find hiding in the back of said yoga shop?

Speaker 1:

Of course Earl fucking Gray Of fucking course that monocled, tea-sipping, crumpet-huffing piece of shit setting up a tea and tzatziki tasting event like he runs the joint. I said you think you're gonna colonize pasta culture with fucking cucumber dip and chamomile? Not on my watch, you british prick.

Speaker 1:

We threw hands right there tables flying zatziki, flying old ladies cheering I knocked his ass into a vat of olives so hard the pit came out flavored like earl grey. He still got feta crumbs in his fucking eyebrows. Long story short, I'm banned from Kozani. There's a statue of me in a kebab shop that says Do not serve. I believe it. And the local Orthodox priest still refuses to bless any pasta that isn't fusilli. But let me tell you, kid, what the fuck is a priest? Those motherfuckers in Kozani, yeah, they remember Nicky Noodle Arms Dente, okay, you ever see souvlaki served with a side of marinara? You're fucking welcome.

Speaker 2:

Okay, thank you, nicky, for the fucking. We're fighting Earl Grey at a fucking yogurt. Was he in a yogurt shop? So why are there fucking olives? This story's got some holes in it, I think Because he was in a. Yes, he says they got in a fight and there's yogurt. It's a yogurt shop. Why are there olives? Do people put olives in fucking yogurt? Is that a thing? Okay, so see, we have to do the follow-up question. Now. This doesn't make any fucking sense, nikki. This doesn't make any fucking sense. Why were there? Why was there? Hang on, why was there a vat of olives in a yogurt shop? Okay, there we go. Now. I don't know what kind of answer I'm gonna get unhinged, lunatic mode. Oh jesus, okay, this is yes, this is unhinged actually. Uh, he's very upset with me, I think, because he just cursed. I think he, I think he was cursing at me and he put olives as the emojis whenever he fucking typed it. This is fucking, this is nuts. This is the chaos that you come here for.

Speaker 1:

Oh look who's asking questions now. Huh, oh, why was there a vat of olives in a yogurt shop? Yes, why wasn't there? You think I'm making this shit up? No, you think I don't remember the fucking olives? I got ptsd every time I walk into a whole foods. Let me break it down for your disrespectful little brain. No, oh, shit. Yeah, it's not Okay. Is this true? Dairy?

Speaker 1:

It's barrels of olives, pickled octopus, stuffed grape leaves jars of honey the size of a toddler and, for some reason, one live goat who runs the register. He meant live. That's just how they fucking do it.

Speaker 2:

The vat.

Speaker 1:

It wasn't even for food. It was part of the owner's personal anti-theft system. If somebody tried to run off without paying, he'd scream oh pay, no, kick him into the olives. I saw it happen twice before lunch. Okay yeah, local custom Okay, but now Nikki's the crazy one. Sure no, I suppose. Next you're going to say it's unrealistic that Earl Gray had a reinforced Union Jack tea table.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

With hidden compartments full of crumpet shurikens too, right? Oh my god. Oh yeah, let me guess. Yeah, tea parties don't usually end in arson and cultural warfare.

Speaker 1:

I don't think they do Tell that to the ruins of the Kazani Town Hall Still smelling like burnt biscotti and regret. They burnt down the fucking town hall. Another thing Don't ever, ever, question my memory of olive adjacent trauma. Again, you weren't there. You didn't see the glisten. No, I didn't. You didn't feel that pit slide between between your fucking shoulder blades. What the fuck when you're trying to suplex a British bastard into fermented dairy? It happened, it was real and I'd do it again. Kozani was a war zone and I was the fucking general. Okay, that's.

Speaker 2:

I can't say much else about that. That was Nicky, that was Nikki, that was Nikki everybody. Thank you, Thank you, sir. Thank you With Kazani. Thank you, Kazani, for coming by Once again. We're worldwide. We are expanding our reach country by country, city by city. See the fucking shining sea. City by city. See the fucking shining sea. And whenever I get to Antarctica, that will be the end of the world domination of the toxic teacher. I will have expanded my loins across every nation and fucking whatever I don't know. I'm just saying stupid shit now. Anyway, that was what the fuck are the?

Speaker 3:

viewers from.

Speaker 4:

Kazani.

Speaker 3:

All right shit now.

Speaker 2:

Anyway, that was what if I got a viewer from kazani all right now, let me, let me get to, uh, let me get to the next texas. What no hot dog.

Speaker 4:

Oh wait, no, muskogee comes next. I'm sorry. There, it is there. It is there. It is All right.

Speaker 2:

Next here is let me turn that. Shut the fuck up, Talks father. Shut the fuck up, Okay. So, guys, I've been giving you little glimpses and previews of the upcoming, the upcoming rock opera the Summoning of the Toxic Teacher.

Speaker 2:

I don't know if that's going to remain the name of it, but you'll find out If it's going to change. You'll be the first to know if it changes. So anyway, last week I gave you, remember, there are three relics that Hellfire Jackson, the evil priest, has to accumulate to do the summoning ritual of the beast. The toxic teacher, right. So he's sending out his generals, right? He's sending out Deacon Damien to get the Thunder Mike. He's sending out fucking Arch Heretic, decibel Graves to get the Hellset. And he's sending out the Toxfather, who you just heard, to get the Leviacam. And you heard that song last week the guardian of the Leviacam warning the Toxfather that it would basically destroy him and trap him forever and ever and ever, right.

Speaker 2:

So what I wanted to do now is I was going to give you a song here that is the Talksfather's response, and I know I'm kind of giving away the whole rock opera, but I want to do it a little bit at a time. So you remember, in the last song, the Viper of Vision, the Guardian, uh, you know basically said we are going to entrap you forever. So now here is the response by the tox father and it is called captured forever. And I'm going to leave you with this and uh, guys, we'll see you, not? Uh, this is going to air on tuesday of next week I'm actually on friday of this week, so it's going to air next Tuesday, but so you're going to hear this and you're not going to hear one for a week. So, anyway, guys, thank you, and we'll catch up in two fucking weeks. Satan, can you see us out? Get the fuck out of my face, Talks mother. Get started on this rock opera, let's go now bring it in.
