What do you do after dying in the round?

I read a great post about doing things other than complaining in dchat post-death, and instead of derailing that thread to talk about the subject I made this one.
I am genuinely curious how players spend their time when they aren’t getting angry in dchat or queuing up for another spawn in the game.
I personally like to play my guitar when dead. I do that in most games with lots of downtime, and I can still read the chat while taking time to practice.

I put my head in a metal bucket and sob until the tears don’t come anymore.

i go play some other game or watch youtube, maybe if i get bored i come back 40 minutes later to join as a xeno but usually i wait for the round to end

Immediately open VSC and nerf what killed me.

All jokes aside, I do use the downtime between lives/rounds to work on code. Or play another game.

I’d love to practice music but I’d have to walk to practice piano and if I did vocal practice every time I died my voice would be perpetually shredded.

Open my mouth, start to inhale, and then start to shout out “GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL”.

I like to cope a bit in dchat, rage quit, turn on new round notifications, and play something else till the new round.

when i go perma ingame, i laugh and smile knowing that i had fun especially if a friend died with me

then like any normal and sane person, i dont stay and mald in dchat about how dogshit someone or something is and move on unlike some of the players that i can’t even fathom to count in one hand

I boot up Disgaea PC and start grinding. Currently got 2 majins to level 2000, transmigrated them a couple times, goal is to beat Baal. Saw a speedrunner do it in 3 hours and I still haven’t finished it in 250.

I lurk about the forums and perhaps do a bit of writing some times on the forums other times not. or make a cup of tea and get a snack and give my dogs some pets.

Usually go observe someone and wait for xeno, theres always interesting stuff like shit MPs, liaison shenanigans, etc.

Although I never actually die so this is just a hypothetical scenario to seem relatable

Seethe in deadchat about whatever killed me and rant about how that side is overpowered and the Dev’s favorite side.
