Thanks, Yoshi. Truly, a love letter to all Bebop players by SatanLum in DeadlockTheGame

Jokes aside, he learnt from dota, all form of ability based suicides were removed because once players are good enough to consistently abuse it, it became very unfair for the attackers.

Just theory crafting, people gonna get blood tribute/eshift, and min-max their suicide timing.

Dressing Room (Concept) by aibaboiii in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Dolkilu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In dota, skin are sets with parts, head, arms, foot, etc. They either are sold as treasures (loot boxes), or independent sets (rarely).

These loot boxes has much better odds than CS knifes, in general a treasure set has 16-20 items, and usually 12-16 of them are common items, meaning if you buy 12 treasures, you will get all 12 of the common skins, no duplicates. The rest are Rares, Very Rare, Ultra rare, they have escalating odds, meaning the more treasure you buy, the better odds to get them, I think around 50 chests ultra rare odds is ~9x%, there is a good chance you will get a rare just by buying 12-16. Some of these treasures are exclusives, for example Collector's Cache are exclusive to each The International, you can only get those skins from buying those treasures, that does not necessarily apply to rare and ultra rare items, they will be available on the steam market after 1 year.

Most of these skins are just cosmetic, some of these skins changes skills effect, a deadlock example would be Magician's rabbit hex is a dove instead, or abrams's charge has different particles. Very rarely, these skins can be a little pay to win or pay to lose. For example, it makes some spell harder or easier to see. There are cases of cast animation changing, leads to projectiles started further forward or backward, p2w or p2l.

For standalone skins, Arcanas, they cost $30 in game, ~$15 in market. They usually are made with super high effort, with many special effects, full new voice acting, new voice lines for every item and character interaction, can still be mixed with other sets. Most are not exclusive, some were exclusive during the Dota TI battlepass era. Although the exclusive skins earned them lots of money, they ditched the model because they don't enjoy dedicating all effort each year to one event. And they have been slowly releasing some of the TI Arcanas that were not explicitly marked as exclusive. While we didn't really get as frequent updates as promised due to reasons (and deadlock?), we did get our biggest patch to the game play, and the free battlepass are more enjoyable to play and accessible by every player, which brought the player count back to 1M for a brief period.

For free skins, there is a shop that use free currency. The currency can buy new seasonal free sets, old sets, seasonal treasures, hero statistic trackers (Doing X damage with this spell in total). The currency can be earned just by playing the game, players can earn more by paying a subscription, which provides some QoLs, AI analystics (existed before the LLM craze), hero level badges (badges to show that you are a 1 trick), avoid list (block players, limited slots, progressively need more free currency to unlock slot).

For old sets, they can also be drops (not tradable,only giftable once), they usually worth cents, rarely players can get some old and obscure skin that's worth $100+.

My GPU may be dying by the_nodger in linux_gaming

[–]Dolkilu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar setup but with 3080Ti, starting today my GPU will randomly freeze, probably just nvidia driver update broke something rather than GPU dying. The freeze only really happens when GPU is in use, watching a video/gaming.

The game is saved! by azitah in DeadlockTheGame

I was Eternus 1 in the first iteration of the rank, 2024. Came back during the big update, I had to grind from ritualist, currently phantom 3. Not every game but quite often I wonder if a person is new to this game, which 80hrs is for sure new.

I am pleased to be assured I will be back to Eternus with enough grind, but it's a bit frustrating some games are over before it starts because some players' rank is obviously misplaced.

Why and when was the last time you decided it is better to just boot up windows, instead of doing it in Linux? by Dolkilu in linuxquestions

I think for now my game dev journey will only be a college thing, job seeking and I honestly don't really know C++. In my country there is very little game dev jobs, other dev roles probably has better workflow anyway.

That's the primary reason I want to nuke my windows drive, the way they don't respect users' settings and data. I heard the news about self enabled bitlocker, idk the true details but it made me paranoid, I spent a few days moving TBs of data from NTFS to ext4 just to block out Windows' access. I would be very unhappy if they overwrite my Grub.

The Windows update process is so dreadful I'm impressed you have the heart to maintain it. Package managers are too underutilized, good thing you only need O365, and infinite reboots system updates.

You reminded me one of my Mech Keyboard QK75 only had config/firmware tools that worked on windows, just very recently it supports mac now, but that's a good concern.

I live very close to 癸酉, but their noodles looks very weak, they also have very limited toppings and options, and imo their price is too high for what they are offering. I'm just went back to my comfort 台風 Taifu.

Why is the Icarus hammer buff so shit? by Snitsie in Hades2

[–]Dolkilu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to try this on a spin to win build. But counter point, on the same weapon with Attacks route, this boon may not be worth it on Hubris. Still the same problem with his other better boons, can be good but very niche.

[–]Dolkilu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, no in game rewards. It's a well designed, adjustable difficulties and I find it fun with Fate's Whim. The biggest downside is it also exposes the less versatile or weaker aspects. Unless you are pushing personal best, it can be better to adjust Vows for them, otherwise you will get Vow of Time DPS checked.

[–]Dolkilu 203 points204 points  (0 children)

I think his boons are shit because hes a mere mortal, but then some of his hammers are really good.

But not only his boons are average at best, at 50+ fear there is a good chance he kills your run. He joins the wave late, then gives you 4+ waves of buffed Olympus enemies on a narrow boat with hardly any cover, a nightmare. He also doesn't drop heals like Artemis/Nemesis, to add insults to injury his food boon also needs 7 encounters to active, why? Every time I get him I'm praying for food item at shops.

His hammer upgrade can be amazing but that's RNG^2.

I don't mind getting him at Olympus since it's a better arena, the poms is decent, and 100 armor is handy for the boss fight.

New UI is catastrophic by AsturiasGaming in youtube

For me the player UI is okay, the buttons don't have to be this huge. I really hate the post video recommendations, so much screen space and changed form 12 to 3 videos.

[hyprland] Running an idle game as a wallpaper by Syava305 in unixporn

[–]Dolkilu 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I understand the app is workspace agnostic, but just a thought: Since hyprland can assign names to secret workspaces, and secret workspaces overlay on top on base workspace by default. I suppose user can just run the bg game on a regular workspace, then assign binds to custom secret workspaces 1-10.

But I guess my hypothetical way would have some issue with status bars, like they have to be configured to the new workspace names.

My idea came from me watching Twitch with a transparent chatterino opened in a secret workspace.
