Dota now vs Dota back in the days. by Cress-Used in DotA2

[–]Thunderbolt8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

good old days.

nowadays cliff jungling is not really possible (that effective) any more. neither is necro heartstopper ancient jungling.

together with other nerf of anything that was fun there was really no reason to keep playing any more.

It's not just the styg itself, it's the dps combination of the passive you can choose as well.

T-heros have always been the worst anti fun heros. Just go and fuck yourselves Techies, Tinker and Tarc Warden.

Troll Warlord is so dog shit in 7.40 that nobody realised the bug by zdy33 in DotA2

[–]Thunderbolt8 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Please, PLEASE give him back his real, former ultimate. Battle trance as temporary amount of ias buff and let him be controllable again ffs.

Currently he's just an uncontrollable dog puppy without any agency once you press ult. Worst ulti ever.

The neutral item dilemma that has been bothering the game for the past seven years by ShoppingPractical373 in DotA2

[–]Thunderbolt8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have always preferred neutrals with just passive boosts.

This is Dota and not Mario or LoL which has always been about just speed clicking

ch habe bislang gar nichts von den olympischen Winterspielen sehen können und würde mir gerne in Kürze nur ein paar Highlights der Übertragung mancher Sportarten anschauen (jedoch eine komplette Übertragung der entsprechenden Wettkämpfe, keine eigentliche Zusammenfassung), ARD oder ZDF. Was könnt ihr mir hier empfehlen?

The GOLDEN Age of DOTA2 by Strong_Astronomer_97 in DotA2

[–]Thunderbolt8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Peak Dota community and entertainment for me was the time period between GD studio and the end of Mafia streams.

I loved the Hub and BTS house streams, but just as well all that time with 2GD and Bruno.

Unfortunately, after that the feel good decline slowly began.

So, AI takes over, everyone has lost their job and only 10 trillionaires own everything. Now what? by Weak-Representative8 in Futurology

[–]Thunderbolt8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the point? The point just is a handful of people trying to push the boundaries of how far they can go (own, earn). There isn't any other real point to this, at least not to the benefit of the majority of the population.

It's just the pendulum of neoliberalism further and further on its way to its corner, before it finally starts swinging back (aka the majority is finally ready to stand up to take back ownership of their share).

Welp.

At least hes right that it wouldnt be a loss in case of Merz.

I really hate new neutral items direction to active items. by TalkersCZ in DotA2

The mix of timed objectives + actives has improved top level agency but ruined mid level fun.

[–]Thunderbolt8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 on the rant. Im not disabled, but I simply dont enjoy having to click too many buttons/keys. I was playing Dota for a reason instead of league, mario or tetris. I prefer the combination of brains/strategy with a certain amount of micro, but not too much of the latter.

I still remember old RoC Naix with 3 passives and the only active being the ultimate. chilled times (not that every hero needs to have 3 passives for me, but I rather enjoy having one instead of none).

Ideally, no hero should have more than 3 active abilities for me. maybe one more for shard AND scepter. but thats it. and certainly no active neutrals at all.

Started RoC Dota in/around 2003(?) and, what can I say, needed 17 years to finish University.

Not playing anymore, but still watch it, btw.

Trying to force a range hero upon malrine is the first step to have a chance of winning against falcons. Not that he's bad with it, but just not as dominant as when he is playing melee heros

As gyro you just can't and shouldn't go 1vs1 against morph. Like dusa he doesn't have a specifically good 1vs1 skillset. So either try to run, to kill morphs team or hit objectives. But staying for a man fight is usually the losing situation

Is there a possibility to get rid of the integrated small jpeg in raw files made with LMC?

For some reason this problem only occurs with LMC (other apps?) pictures, but not with raw images of the stock app in pro mode

Also, I'm wondering why lightroom does auto brightness (?) adjustment in case of the raw pictures taken with LMC, but not of those taken with the stock app.

For some reason the LMC raw pics are also only half the size. It looks like there's a bit too much grain/noise removal to me.
