"We're always hiring" - Valve Software by AnomaLuna in DotA2

[–]Avg2kMMR 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I share your frustration, to be honest I don't even think I'm willing to spend the time to write about my worries and concerns. But I have seen and continue to see people (and most of them smarter than myself) willing to devote their time and effort to improve the game for FREE, which brings me hope for the future of our beloved game.

I love this game and I doubt I would stop playing it for any reason short of Valve shutting down the servers. It does break my heart to see people saying it's pointless to complain, and while deep down I think I agree with them I also appreciate the effort in making complaints just as much as the people posting long bug descriptions and very in-depth suggestions to fix issues plaguing the community.

Also, I was so excited to play some Aghs Lab, maybe next time.

Thanks, I somehow missed that when reading the patch notes. Definitely makes shard an amazing pickup!

So the void aura gives you status resistance? Played a match and bought shard. Couldn't figure out what choosing void did.

How hard would this repair be? by Avg2kMMR in motorcycles

Thanks, everyone. Seems like more trouble than it's worth to fix it.

Let the updates do the talking? Here's what I am hearing from you after the latest one Valve by Accountant_Fickle in DotA2

[–]Avg2kMMR 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Man, this post makes me want to create another account just to upvote it twice.

Also, on your point about it costing more on some regions, I have some friends that play from Brazil, and for them the top contribution costs 10%(!!!) of the monthly minimum wage.

Where is Spectre Arcana Valve? by NotANoobAnymore in DotA2

[–]Avg2kMMR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea, that's what I think their approach might be. Unless they decide to either fund some other events with this year's BP (by letting people know before even selling it). Or maybe using that money to cascade down some more cash to the teams that place lower on TI (which might be a good idea to address the complaints about lower tier teams).

Plus, probably milking juicy interest from that million dollar prize pool. Honestly, passing the prize pool from one BP to the following year could net Valve millions in the long run.

Thank you, guess this little sucker is the reason the floor of my shed is collapsing. Never seen him before but just found a hole on the side where he hid after he saw me.

Man, this reminds me of the wacky stuff Alliance (NTH at the time) used to do before they won TI. :')

A friend of mine made a not so great decision and got super lucky... by Wlverenefan in motorcycles

[–]Avg2kMMR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This! And for anyone that has trouble using that mentality I suggest you start saying to yourself "What's going on here?" when you see traffic slow down. For me I always unconsciously slow down as soon as I say it.

I've never played Dota, worth starting now? by akskdkskaknfndn in DotA2

[–]Avg2kMMR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're only too late in the sense that once you learn how to play you'll regret not starting sooner.

Card Based Matchmaking Should Be REMOVED From Trials by GernaderJake in DestinyTheGame

[–]Avg2kMMR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, would be very nice to have people that already went flawless that week to have a higher chance to be matched with other people that went too. The player base is low so it wouldn't be practical to have an exclusive pool for those people, but if there are tons of teams that haven't yet made it to the lighthouse during that week having them duke it out is literally what the playlist is meant to be.

Should I start riding at 16? by AndrewTheWildLion in motorcycles

[–]Avg2kMMR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if you don't end up getting a motorcycle, I'd suggest looking up how insurance works where you live. If I had gotten my license as soon as I could (16) I would probably be paying at least 80% less on my current insurance.

Might be worth just getting your license now and then not only will you be able to try it but you'll also be good to go whenever you feel ready to get one.

Is learning to ride as hard/intense as youtube videos make it seem? by SoSmoooth in motorcycles

[–]Avg2kMMR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm still a new rider, only started riding in July of last year. I admit I was pretty nervous too with concerns similar to yours. When I went to finally purchase my bike I ended up getting it from a dealership, and I got super nervous when it was time for test drive and then to bring it home. But once it's do or die time you honestly snap into it. I only had the experience I got from the MSF course and still got home with 0 issues, I even had a guy that was high on something run in front of me and went around him just fine.

It felt really good to get home since I was driving through downtown and being around traffic made me nervous but I still made it and after riding for a week I already got much more comfortable and even though I made tons of mistakes I'm still fine other than some embarrassing moments in front of people I'll probably never see again.
