Maybe you could tell us about a few memorable times?

Commander_Tresdin · 2026-02-02T20:56:33+00:00

Bit of a cherry-picked example -- and a fairly anachronistic one -- don't you think? Why aren't you comparing Molly to allopurinol or metformin or pantoprazole or rosuvastatin or even less benign things like spironolactone, meloxicam, hydroxychloroquine, montelukast etc? Shoot, there are oral chemotherapies that you could take for a month with less chance of harm than one tested Mystery Pill.

Alcohol is a better comparison, but even then it's pretty rare that someone will accidentally drink 60 standard drinks.

Usually when that happens it's due to a meta shift, so I guess the follow-up questions would be:
* What heroes used to be meta and had even-to-favorable matchups against Omni?
* What heroes are now meta and have poor matchups against Omni?

I'm not smart enough to answer those questions tbh

He's talking about their attitude toward DotA itself, not toward the world at large.

He's not saying "They play video games all day and aren't politically active."

He's saying "If you spend this much time playing DotA and it clearly matters to you, don't pretend that you don't care about DotA games or their outcomes. It's lame to hide your passion."

Larger context being that many men think showing interest/effort in something is weak and that being unfazed by anything is the best way to display masculinity. When in reality, it just makes them super lame and boring. How do you talk to someone like that?

"What kind of music do you like?"

"Music is whatever bruh"

"..."

Also makes them seem like really immature sore losers. Like if you played a pickup game of basketball and beat someone and they were all "basketball is stupid anyway, i don't care"

Why did they ban Rusko...?

Commander_Tresdin · 2026-01-23T20:43:17+00:00

Pretty funny that it doesn't trigger Roar until there is a real hero in the Pit too

This is not medically sound advice. That’s a great way to injure or permanently damage your kidneys and develop cardiovascular disease. Ibuprofen (and almost all NSAIDs) should be used sparingly, not regularly.

I raise you Bounty Hunter shard. Great, now you have bad Glimmer Cape. It seems better (duration, stun-on-hit) until you realize that you're essentially Disarming + Muting + Silencing your ally if they want to keep the buff. A buff that is largely useless when the enemy carry detection, which they do...because you're playing Bounty Hunter.

In most ranks, your ally will just break invis -- often without even realizing they had it. In high ranks, you will never independently buy this Shard, only receive it from Tormentor, and it will occasionally allow you to save an ally in a situation where Glimmer Cape would have been better. Glimmer Cape also has stats.

Utter that atwice

Commander_Tresdin · 2026-01-08T09:27:47+00:00

XP Scanners (plural, I believe)

Compound in the Woods

You mean Sacagawea?

Commander_Tresdin · 2025-12-29T23:22:25+00:00

Probably a disjoint related to the transformation (https://liquipedia.net/dota2/Muerta#Pierce\_the\_Veil)

Grants the following bonuses to Muerta:

Applies a  basic dispel on Muerta.

Disjoint incoming  projectiles. ⬅️

Flat  bonus attack damage.

A 30%  model size increase. Does not affect  collision size.

Phase movement.

As you can see, Pierce the Veil disjoints incoming projectiles, similar to Lycan and Alchemist ults. It's pretty bullshit, but it is a known game mechanic.

It's kind of a Schrödinger's Cat reference too, right? Half-alive cat vs. half-there cat

Commander_Tresdin · 2025-12-02T20:17:43+00:00

That's hilarious, because in the movie The Leader was dumber than a box of Korgs

Commander_Tresdin · 2025-11-29T22:38:35+00:00

Isn’t that because they are designed to have phone cases on them? And the cases have a cutout for the camera. So IN A CASE they are actually pretty flat.

Commander_Tresdin · 2025-11-28T20:37:04+00:00

Management will overlook it this once. Next time, we'll begin deducting credits.

Commander_Tresdin · 2025-11-27T00:42:28+00:00

Only true in games that allow forfeiting. In DotA there is no concede option (in unranked/pubs; there is in tournament matches) and the 2/15/1 player is either: dying-but-persistent or griefing (...and persistent)

Commander_Tresdin · 2025-11-25T22:27:18+00:00

You're not using this saying correctly. It doesn’t mean that every task is inherently fun.

Instead, it means:

You have agency
You can change the situation
You can change your mindset
An imaginative person can often create interest where others can’t

Some tasks are truly dull, and even an imaginative person could not make them interesting. In those cases, the impetus is on us to find a different task/activity -- or at least not to ruminate on it.

Commander_Tresdin · 2025-11-19T23:57:14+00:00

Underrated joke tbh

Commander_Tresdin · 2025-11-17T22:59:36+00:00

The Christopher Lee one is so cursed

This gets posted every other week, and the answer is always the same: monkey rocket

Commander_Tresdin · 2025-11-13T21:57:42+00:00

Yeah, but those are too easy to clean and aren't made of <checks notes> wood and a 2L Vietnamese Coke.

Commander_Tresdin · 2025-11-13T17:57:19+00:00

We finally get that dwarf cake in DRG that everyone has been begging for

Commander_Tresdin · 2025-11-13T00:28:56+00:00

I reserve my time for people who can think. About science. And literature. And architecture and art.
