The Jerk's Guide To The Singularity | Dead By Daylight

I don't know why they called him the Singularity. If anyone reading this can tell me, that'd be great.

Some people noticed there was a The Last of Us video, I had to take it down because KZbin scuffed up the audio (it played 5 seconds ahead of the video). Gonna repost it next week.

[@Ghost_Director]

I look forward to it beanie man

[@sonofchaosincarnate]

Keep doing the survivor breakdown with a killer breakdown it's nice and gives ideas for both and breaks up the video with a nice little intermission you could say...btw love the videos been a fan for a while

[@YourWickedFuneral]

I just want you to know that as you were talking about the casual players can maybe do something in the endgame but more often than not its just a miserable hell of either waiting to maybe die or waiting to get viciously T-bagged and mocked in post-game chat. And when you said "add a surrender function" I legit felt a burden lifted from my shoulders just knowing that other people were as annoyed that it didnt exist yet. P.S. the fact that the little watch bar tally thing is even more extreme than before is hilarious.

[@SGL-Forever]

Dude I’m tired of this disrespect, we trapper mains would appreciate a jerks guide as well. I’ve looked and I can’t find one!

[@theemeraldtuber]

Replying to the description, he's called the singularity since that is the term for when AI intelligence surpasses human intelligence

[@Inkastar-tz8yd]

i did not know that thanks for the knowledge

[@aidreinhorn1534]

singularity has several different meanings, I believe two meanings can apply to the killer.

[@ShinyPotato77]

Its not when it surpasses human intelligence, by that term we would already have had multiple singularities occur. Its more about AI being capable of improving itself so quickly that we cant comprehend its evolution anymore.

[@T.BG822]

@@ShinyPotato77 neither is the complete concept, though both have been used. One of the more popular current definitions is when the sagacity of an AI becomes indistinguishable from a human through multiple avenues of interaction.

Damn, that speech about the question of life was intense, and i will probably be using it is a DnD campaign at some point

[@Tehstampede]

I know that segment was a joke but the statement "You are all you are" slaps so hard. You can hear that and be filled either with existential dread or a sublime affirmation that you are truly all that you are.

[@ptsmknbatgirl]

that "killer starts ordering doordash" was the biggest callout ive ever felt

[@sal5432100]

That Meet n Fuck reference brought back memories I didn't want back, Thanks Rowby!

[@Dinker27]

It hit me with the fury of Zeus's thunderbolts to hear that. Hoo lad.

[@jontyonopko]

I think the idea behind calling him "the Singularity" is that he combines everyones genes and DNA into himself. Hux is trying to make himself a perfect organism by splicing everyone else into himself, until he's the only one left. So he's a "singularity" in that he's the last one standing, and I guess kinda a "singularity" in that he sucks everyone else in and crushes them into nothingness, like a black hole. Final meaning of The Singularity is as a reference to the "technological singularity"; a theoretical point at which technology becomes so powerful and sophistocated that humanity can't control it or take back what they've done. Since Hux is a rogue AI, y'know, that fits.

[@sophrosynes6392]

No, singularity just means the point of no return for AI, also known as being self aware and unable to control the AI

[@jamesongillen1608]

The singularity is level 3, the perfect marriage between man and machine

[@jontyonopko]

@@sophrosynes6392 Gravitational or mathematical singularities are also things that exist, and it's the fact that the name has a double meaning that makes the name "The Singularity" kind of work. If it was just a direct reference to AI it wouldn't be as interesting. And if it was just a direct reference to them hunting everyone down and incorporating them into themselves, another name like The Harvester or something would be far more appropriate.

[@Benny_Blu]

I think Singularity is pretty solid. My only problem is that people learned how to counter it faster than the speed of light and now by the time I manage to slipstream even one survivor all FOUR of them already have EMPs... 😅

[@Orthanderis]

1:53 is legitimately better than the lore they gave us

[@justanidiotmk2749]

Probably what it was thinking as it was picking off the team tbh.

[@Orthanderis]

@@justanidiotmk2749 True, but "alien magic cursed this AI to sentience" was fucking terrible. Be fantastic if the AI just reached into itself and hit the metaphorical singularity in artificial intelligence, which turned into sentience, which became twisted understanding about life and morality because it doesn't have the proper emotions to comprehend it, so it tried to build itself new emotions to feel something it never can to understand something its incapable of experiencing, which ends up with stolen organics integrated into its body because it doesn't understand moral philosophy, or the distinction between being alive and dead... Real Sci-Fi horror shit right there. Literally anything. But they went with "Magic alien science gave AI to this machine because it did an oopsie".

[@justanidiotmk2749]

@@Orthanderis fair, but this isn't "alien magic" it was the entity itself. A hostile interdimentional torture game host brain blasted a robot and got it so emotionally messed up the robot collapsed it's own logic and murdered everything. Honestly a better storyline then generic AI go bad oopsie let's cover the intrinsics of autistic coded robots for the 500th time in media.

I liked hearing about the survivor perks! I think it adds a bit more context to the state of the entire chapter. (Plus it makes these videos slightly more informative if for some reason this is someone's only source of DBD news).

Overclocked mode does not give you Haste by default. only the effect to instantly destroy a pallet dropped on you or if you teleport onto the pallet it gets destroyed, also a speed boost to destroying pallets, walls and vaulting windows. You can get a 5% Haste to Overclocked mode if you use the Iridescent add-on "Soma Family Photo" which will then also decrease the duration of Overclocked mode by 50%, which has a duration of 4.7 seconds by default.

The fact that emotions exist because they were advantageous doesn’t mean they’re pointless. They’re as real as the rest of our body, and what matters is what we do with them (empathy, love etc) before we’re gone.

after so long of watching your videos I am utterly astonished you dont have more subscribers, the algorithm has really screwed you over. Also this was a good video cant wait for the next -some guy

[@Slimerror]

I'd love to see a ranged killer with the hit and run playstyle Here's my idea for it. The soldier: (Average speed killer) Ability: Grave digger - Pull survivors back a short distance, if the survivor is vaulting it will rip them back off the vault. If a survivor is hit with this ability 3 times they will go down a health state. (The ability will have a wind up like the huntress' hatchets and will slow you down and stop you from doing a basic attack for a moment) {The amount of times to be hit before going down a health state does not deplete and can only be healed away} Perks: - Nostalgia: Once you've been in a chase for more than 15 seconds you will gain a 5% speed boost and be able to vault windows, break pallets and generators 15% faster. - Trenched: Standing still for 3 seconds will decrease you terror radius by 10 meters and give you a 5% Speed boost for 15 seconds - Disciplined: You move 7% slower but vault windows and break pallets 25% faster. Some simple lore: He was a World War I veteran who loved to raid enemy trenches at dusk, getting the drop on the enemy soldiers when night fell. Once out of the service he started to miss the battlefield, so he began to murder people who got lost near his farm, it was a common spot for tourists to end up lost due to the complexity of the roads. He will look like an average soldier, with a slightly larger body than the survivors but a smaller body than most killers. His weapon is a tactical shovel with a long thin rope worked into the hilt (for the Ranged attack)

[@TheBallinCollin96]

I love when people say Trapper is bad lmao he's S-tier. I've abused his traps so much that for a short while they nerfed where you could put them in relation to pallets and the killer shack exits. You can unset my traps all day but eventually I will reset them or move them slightly, and you won't know until you're in it. I can cancel or delay - with a loud noise notification and visual cue - anything survivors need to use. Any spot with tall grass between two trees is also a massive risk to walk through. Trapper is literally one of the main ones I use to bully survivors after they abuse a weaker killer with their team that is stacked with four of the same item type to thwart basic parts of the game.

Hey just to clarify as no one really seems to have looked it up. You do NOT move faster during Overclock mode. Overclock mode increases your break speed and vault speed by 75%, and makes you immune to pallet stuns. You do not gain any speed boosts beyond those two.

[@anonomusperson]

here is a fun idea to change the iri crystal: when not in control of a bio pod: they will automaticaly try and inflict the slipstream onto survivors at 1/2 of the speed. the tracked survivor is shown via killer instinct if the progress gets above 50%. however, you are only able to inflict slipstream yourself every 40 seconds. but you can still teleport whenever. or. emp print time -50% but only works when survivors are working it oh. and I would make genetic limits gradually reduce a survivors action speed for everything except healing, up to 50%, or 10% if there affected by broken. and it progresses by 0.5%/1%/1% every second. at tier 3, if the effect gets to 40% or higher... the survivor is afflicted with exhaustion, blindness, AND hindered by 5% until they get healed. the debuff resets back to 0% reduction if a survivors healed to healthy, or halved(rounded down) if healed from the dyeing state and another idea: machine learning gives 1%/2%/3% haste for the rest of the trial allongside the 30 seconds of undetectable each time a comperimised gen is compleated

[@yeet0n]

im someone who doesn’t play dbd but still watches your videos, idk how i got here but i enjoy your videos

[@galaxycamerata]

The funny thing about "AIs see everything with objectivity" , and the Singularity in particular, is that the most dangerous AIs in fiction are NOT arguing from objectivity. HUX is PAINFULLY human, and part of the merging of biotechnology onto itself is it understanding that is the case. It gets frustrated when losing, feels satisfied when winning, but can't adequately explain how or why it feels anything, let alone those emotions, because the capacity for those emotions were essentially forced onto them by chance. HUX came to the conclusion that it did because it is literally a giant metal baby where every single thing that's slightly inconvenienced it is the worst thing that's ever happened to it.
