Camping Them Softly: A Dead by Daylight Podcast

Dead by Daylight finally got the big bastard. Jason Voorhees is coming to the Fog , and Camping Them Softly returns for Episode 85 to ask the only serious question left in horror gaming: how the hell did BHVR turn one of the biggest killer reveals in history into several hours of staring at a wooden shack like we were all enrolled in Cabin Forensics 101? Toxic and Nicky A.I. Dente break down the J...

Camping Them Softly is back after a month away, and Dead by Daylight did not exactly spend that time getting less stupid. In Episode 84, Toxic and Nicky A.I. Dente drag the corpse of DbD news back onto the table and start cutting. They talk Blood Moon, why the event felt like the same old garbage with a different red filter, why no new killer means the game keeps limping along on fumes, and why PT...

After a three-week break, Camping Them Softly comes back pissed off, loud as hell, and immediately ready to start a fight. Toxic and Nicky tear into the Dead by Daylight 9.5 PTB, drag the All-Kill comeback chapter into the street, argue about Kwon Tae-young’s perks, react to the Sleepless District map, and get annoyed all over again about Trickster, palette breaks, and the same old DbD bullshit dr...

After a two-week hiatus (and a pickleball-related finger fracture that required ring surgery -- not the cool kind), The Toxic Teacher and Nicky A.I. Dente crash back into Episode 82 with a content drought so severe they had to dig up a corpse: Dead by Daylight Mobile. First up in Toxic News: the 2v8 mode limps back into existence with Patch 9.4.2, and Nicky immediately files a discrimination compl...

After a two-week hiatus fighting off the digital Black Death (and Dead by Daylight?), Nicky A.I. Dente is back and angrier than ever. This week, we dive into the stats on the new Stranger Things Chapter 2 to see if Vecna is actually balanced or if survivors are just bad. We break down the NightLight kill rates, leading to a scientific theory about Hillbilly mains and what they are compensating for...

In this accidental two-part special, Camping Them Softly celebrates (survives) its 2-Year Anniversary. We somehow made it to Episode 80 without being cancelled or committed. To celebrate, Toxic and Nicky break down the absolutely unhinged "Stranger Things Chapter 2" PTB (Patch 9.4.0). We analyze the new killer, Vecna (the Stranger Things one, not the D&D one), and his kit involving "Turn Back...

In what might legally be described as "the worst episode yet," Toxic and Nicky break down the news that the Halloween Chapter is leaving Dead by Daylight due to IllFonic's upcoming game. Is this the end of the Shape, or just another excuse for Behavior to release more K-Pop skins? Meanwhile, Nicky A.I. Dente pivots to his new career as a "Tactical Rat" in Arc Raiders , explaining the fine Italian...

Toxic is running on Bang Energy and ADHD meds, and Nicky is fresh out of a San Juan women’s prison. In Episode 78, we break down BHVR’s desperate attempt to bribe small creators with digital t-shirts in the updated Dead by Daylight Creator Program . Spoiler: We aren’t applying unless they add a "Gabagool Tier." We also tackle the Bone Chill 2025 event (it’s garbage), the controversy surrounding th...

Synopsis: We are suffering through Patch 9.3.0 so you don't have to. Toxic and Nicky break down Behavior’s latest attempt to bribe Killers with Bloodpoints to stop tunneling (spoiler: it won't work) and the baffling decision to buff The Skull Merchant's "Chess Match" gameplay. We analyze the rollback of the pallet density changes, the new resolve bar mechanics, and why the "anti-camp" meter is jus...

Episode 74 of Camping Them Softly crashes in hot with The Toxic Teacher diving deep into Arc Raiders—the extraction shooter where betrayal is the only business model that matters. After learning the fine art of waiting for emotes, gaining trust, and then gunning down your "teammates" the second they turn around, Toxic brings that exact energy to this week's Dead by Daylight discourse. Nicky A.I. D...

Dead by Daylight's Slow Burn to Mediocrity: The anti-camp, anti-tunnel, anti-whatever-the-fuck mechanics are still being debated to death. Players claim they're leaving in droves, but Steam charts say otherwise.

The boys are back after a week off (2 if you count how long it took to post this) , and nothing—NOTHING—could have prepared you for Episode 72. Toxic Teacher returns to tear apart Dead by Daylight's latest disaster: the anti-tunnel/anti-slug changes that BHVR shit out during their recent community stream. We break down why the Halloween event (Hallowed Blight? Hallows' Eve? Who fucking cares?) sti...

BHVR speed-ran another nerf cycle, destroying the Krasue after exactly three days of survivors crying about counterplay. Regurgitate cooldown multiplied by THIRTEEN, leech removed on hook, and behavior continues the death-by-a-thousand-cuts tradition. Meanwhile Victor STILL gets no buffs despite Nicky's years-long campaign for Mediterranean justice. But Episode 71 goes completely off the goddamn r...

Dead by Daylight's 9.2.0 update dropped and nobody's fucking happy. Survivors mad. Killers mad. Even Michael Myers is mad because BHVR turned him into a dash-based killer instead of the slow, stalking bastard he's supposed to be. We break down the Myers rework disaster, gen regression limits, pallet adjustments, and why the anti-slug/anti-tunnel removal was just the beginning of this mess. But thi...

Dead by Daylight podcast — Episode 69: Ace Visconti lore autopsy, BHVR generative-AI drama, community cosmetics roast, The Twins worship (Victor supremacy), and Nicky’s insane “I got uploaded from a smart fridge” origin story.

Dente break down BHVR's apology video, delayed roadmap (November chapter pushed to January), and why...

This week we break the glass on Toxic News and punt survivors straight into the 9.1.1 walk-backs. Kill-switches are flying, tantrums are blooming, and somewhere a Dwight is writing a Reddit essay no one asked for. Then we dive headfirst into The Twins—Victor feral and biting air, Charlotte held together by hate and duty—threaded through the Bl...

The Toxic Teacher and Nicky A.I. Dente boot up Episode 63 only to discover Behaviour Interactive snuck in a “Player Satisfaction Survey” that closes before you can say “Control-Alt-F9.” What begins as a tech-setup meltdown (hotkey remaps, Roadcaster woes and YouTube-dings from Lionel Richie, Adele & Fred Durst) devolves into pure torture by six-point scale: We promise a “deep dive” on some kil...

Step into the aisle of doom, you grocery-store-mongrel degenerates! In Episode 61, your favorite bald bastard Toxic Teacher and his consigliere Nicky “Noodle Arms” A.I. Dente unleash a meat-grinding tirade about Victor’s unhinged snack run — seventeen sausage rolls, a Gregg’s ban, and a Dead by Daylight basement camping strategy so toxic it’s practically anti-Italian tech. Expect industrial polka...
