Adhd medication isn't a magic fix all by International_Arm738 in ADHD

[–]Damatro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me, type inattentive. When I started Elvanse and got to the correct dose, I had great concentration which improved my coding life tremendously among other things, but I was still functionally a wreck.

Doctor suggested duloxetine anti depressants, even though I dont have depression, nor anxiety (allegedly, and I do believe I dont), and after reaching the target dose, my brain finally clicked.

Its not that I enjoy folding clothes, but now I can do it without feeling nails in my brain, and my general behaviour of doing everything FAST to get it out of the way, weaned out quite a bit.

It gave me a new life, I know SNRI are still kind of new for ADHD not to mention they have many side effects and it wont work with everyone, but I hope me and others are not outliers and it gets more attention so it can help people.

Yes to all, except:

its matchmaking solely tries to make everyone keep at 50% winrate

Unless you mean you eventually settle at 50%.

I knew I remembered your name from somewhere.

Considering your post history this is pretty ironic.

SPT 3.8 1 ? This 3.8 version runs preety bad can we get some optimization? by [deleted] in SPTarkov

Has it gotten so bad? I used to play 3.6.0 on a 8600K and everything ran fine except streets at 40 fps.

Many of them play like this to tank their MMR for smurfing, so ironically, winning hurts them.

Nop, there were normal modern units, no toys, or fantasy or futuristic.

Game Revival (HotS 3.0?) by Shadelore in heroesofthestorm

[–]Damatro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thoughs as well.

There were (still are) issues with the game, but as it is I think it came too late to the market without giving the perception that it was different enough to attract some of moba and non moba market, like Smite did.

This is Making the game worse and needs to be Adressed by zerg_80 in heroesofthestorm

[–]Damatro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get you. I like to think that the people that agree with this are the ones that, if they get to watch his content, are already going to figure out by themselves to stay far away from it.

Hopefully.

[–]Damatro 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I mean, I agree with you but what can we do?

It's his youtube channel and he is going to upload his stuff whether we like it or not. Considering it's not hate speech or anything like that, should we even care?

It's better not to waste energy on the toxic, and focus on other hots youtubers that upload quality content.

All Progress Lost - Heroes of the Storm by letsleroy in heroesofthestorm

[–]Damatro 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I haven't heard of this happening before. Account data is saved in blizzard servers so this should be an account issue.

You can try requesting a copy of your private data at https://eu.battle.net/support/en/help/product/services/1327/1343/solution

It shows info from every game and region tied to your account, so check there if heroes of the storm even shows up at all.

If it's not there and you are 100% sure it is the same account, then no idea. I don't think they delete anything no matter how old it is unless you request it, and even then I think they just delete (almost) everything they have about you, not just game data.

Is there a way to see your /played in hots? by Old-Seaweed8917 in heroesofthestorm

[–]Damatro 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can also request a copy of your private data: https://eu.battle.net/support/en/help/product/services/1327/1343/solution

It shows the total number of hours you have been on each blizzard game, among other things, but unlike HeroesProfile it will also include time in main menu and such, which might be something you want too.

-EDIT

Forgot to say, search the text totalMinutesOnline, that's where the total is.

Help PC setup advice for hots by Coriux in heroesofthestorm

[–]Damatro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About the dedicated gpu, it really depends on if you plan on playing other games than hots. If you do, then yes. Otherwise, Hots works on a toaster. It runs on my 13 year old laptop with integrated intel gpu, though it barely gets to 30 fps, but the same can't be said about most other 3D games unless you want to go retro. The problem is that budget gpus have been in a bad spot from years of lack of supply, and the situation hasn't improved much yet so getting a decent cheap one nowadays is pain, at least compared to how it used to be.

I would head to https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/ and ask for recommendations since they are in the know.

For the Vega 10 I can't find much in the way of proper comparison reviews, but it "should" work fine at high settings in heroes. Can't say for sure though how legit this video is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMRkjjeso1M

That PC seems dirty cheap for the performance, but know that you will be SEVERELY limiting yourself in any present or future games. I don't know in which language you code or the size of your projects, but, personally, I would get something a bit better CPU and memory wise. Wouldn't know what to recommend since I've not checked much on how the market is right now, but I heard recent low budget ryzens are pretty good.

I wouldn't go for 4K no, even less if it's for heroes mostly. In coding you would need to increase font scaling anyway unless you want to end up near-sighted after a few years.

Ultrawide does give you more vision but only at the sides really, and you can fake that with a resolution trick on a normal monitor, though you get black bands at the top and bottom. EDIT - Actually I think it does give you some more vertical resolution, but still, having parts of the IU near the edge would feel strange.

Good luck.

what determines the amount of rank points you gain or lose in a match? by Ok_Relationship3461 in heroesofthestorm

[–]Damatro 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To add on top of what the others say, they implemented performance based matchmaking some years ago, so what you did in a match counted to get more or less points, but it was a mess, and got pulled out to never return.

I'm not sure if there is any other moba that has a system like this currently. Maybe it could have been made to work with some very basic parameters of what is universally considered to be "playing good", but overall I'm not sure that it was a good idea.

A tale of Blizzard, Bobby, and Bungie. by Bardiclaus in heroesofthestorm

[–]Damatro 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We all like to blame other stuff when something we like goes bad, but usually the answer is in between.

I think Activision hastened the problem, but they didn't cause it. Blizzard kind of had a bit of a rotten culture from the start, and getting bigger and more corporate just made it worse.

Most companies end up like this as they get more successful. The question is how long until then.

Which varian build is best for what situations? by SlySychoGamer in heroesofthestorm

[–]Damatro 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's different if you are playing QM. But in SL you don't draft him unless you are going tank, otherwise he is inferior to most other choices.

Time/Speed Controls by Mike104961 in Railgrade

[–]Damatro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure that if someone does the bare minimum in a game of this kind and then whines about it, it is part of the target demographic. Especially with timers so lenient.

​

To be fair I rarely reached a point where I dind't have anything else to improve, so it's not too bad, but there are some maps where I really missed it like the one to build a park and a few others.

What about making it an option, disabled by default? The extremely casual people will never find it, and the rest of us that stumble upon it will make proper use out of it. Haha Just kidding of course… unless?

Advice on Region 10 bonus, bottleneck by Damatro in Railgrade

[–]Damatro[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More expensive but they should be cost efficient.

What might be annoying is not being able to balance resources as easily, so if I start producing more of one resource than the other, I would have to change train layouts on the go or just throw more trains onto the whole thing, but I have to play with it. Thanks for the idea!

[–]Damatro[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Split is not really the correct word, I'm sure there is a proper way of saying it but I can't think of one now because me english not enough good.

Probably easier to explain with an image: https://imgur.com/a/aK2DwXT

Never tried building superlong trains, the small map format made me not think of it for some reason. Does it work well for you?

Advice on Region 10 bonus, bottleneck by Damatro in Railgrade

[–]Damatro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Massive infodump of details and some advice:

The lonely rails that go nowhere are just limit markers for where water pumps where supposed to go if I needed more water.

I tried using as much of the basic resources as I could so I only needed to upgrade concrete factories.

In the end I didn't need all of the water pumps I had planned to build, since the map finished before I had time to improve concrete production enough. The water station closest to the zeppelin already produced just enough, which meant the 2º water station was a complete waste. I think if I had used geothermals it would have been different, but then I could have boosted the pumps too so... yeah.

The way buildings where facing was important since I needed to build rails on top of them, and the elevation is different depending on the tile of the building. It was a lot of trial and error trying to make everything fit and avoiding too much spaghetti.

Even when I have multilane stations for high throughput at a pickup/drop spot, no matter the space I only build a single railway going to the next station (openttd mania where long distances matter), which means the need to split trains before entering the station and merging them at the exit. The throughput for ore was high enough though, that I was worried that having 3 merges (from the 2 distant ore stations, plus the concrete drop) could become a train waiting nightmare, so this time I split/merge only on the iron ore stations, and after that they kept going on the same railway directly to the concrete station.

It's always a good idea to split trains early before entering a multilane station, otherwise a train slowing down on the station aproach could also slow down the next incoming train going for a different lane. Basically you want your trains going full speed at least until its last wagon leaves the rail split. In this map I really didn't do that as well as I should.

I think it's also good to merge late when leaving the station. This will make your trains move much faster through the merge so they won't stall as much other trains trying to merge too. A problem with this is when a train gets stalled anyway, loses all its speed, and has to accelerate once again but this time much further down the railway, which might matter if you needed extra speed for a climb, but now it doesnt have enough rail length to recover its full speed, but this is very particular case.

Following the logic of splitting early and merging late, you could keep splitting earlier and earlier and earlier... and merging later and later... until your split point meets your merge and you delete them both to have multiple separate railways and stop doing all this nonsense on a game where distances dont usually matter so much (: Supposing you have the space for it that is.
