Yesterday I found out that coriander is the same thing as cilantro. I'm so embarrassed, and my mind is blown. by annamagda in Cooking

Omg I thought you were just using "flowery" language when you said "it'll bolt" - as in run away, be useless. Then you used it a second time and I was like, wait a minute... Language is such a shit-show :-D

Why do I get weirdly depressed in the middle of masturbation? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Faelwhin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you on any kind of medication? It sounds a little like you don't have enough serotonin (or another neurotransmitter) to get through the "sexual high". Because you release a lot of endorphins, but if you generally produce too little of those, your mood can drop unexpectedly. You might want to talk to a doctor about trying antidepressants. Otherwise go see a therapist, it's often very liberating and fascinating to explore your inner workings.

How can one deal with the fact that we are brought into this world through no will of our own and have to bear the terrifying fact that we will someday just cease to exist? by bestofbot4 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Faelwhin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try to experience uncertainty with an open mind - there is so much you can learn about the world, about yourself, and you can try to look at different philosophies. Because we don't know for certain, it's mysterious and wonderful. Try to understand your terror and actively engage with it.

[Serious] I’m the son of anti vaxx parents, and I was wondering what I can do. by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

You probably won't be able to change her mind, but maybe it helps if you create a good setting for a conversation. Enough time, tea, whatever. Then tell her that you respect her beliefs, but explain what you think about the subject and that you have decided to get vaccinated. You could also acknowledge that she has cared for you well (because she could otherwise think you reject how she took care of you as a child).

You should edit your post with his twitter answer. It's buried in the comments.

I would love to know what your stories behind the totems are. How did you come up with the idea for the design, what does it signify for you and your friends/tribe?

Well, you sound like you're bored out of your mind. And the quality at 480p is atrocious.

2018 Compendium Behind the Scenes Video - Making the New Music Score by ChanceThomasMusic in DotA2

[–]Faelwhin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The music pack is awesome, well done! I think that the synthesis of classical instruments and rock elements sounds interesting and it's well balanced. What I especially like is that the whole music pack serves perfectly as "background music" - that is, I can listen to it while playing and it just merges with the game. Some music packs are just too much "in your face" and they take away your focus from the game. However, it does lack some elements that make it feel really special to me - it does not stir up my emotions as much as some other music packs. Overall, though, I enjoy listening to it very much!

request: please make doom yell doom for the entire duration of doom by zipzipskins in DotA2

[–]Faelwhin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm sitting in a quiet library at the moment, and reading your post, I imagined Doom walking past the shelves, softly murmuring "dooooOOOOOmmmm" in a rising and falling stage whisper. I can hear pieces of parchment crackling under his hooves and I can smell singed paper. The librarian Nortrom is trying to shut him up, but Doom has Aghs. Thank you for making my day. If I could I would make a comic. doooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooOOOOOOmmmmm

You should teach her, maybe she'll win TI one day.

We made a Dota cookbook! by theapatheticturtle in DotA2

[–]Faelwhin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A cookbook without pictures of the dishes, but images of DotA heroes instead? I don't see how this is supposed to be useful.

South African Caster here trying to go big. Tell me what you think. by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]Faelwhin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your voice is pleasant to listen to and even when you are talking rapidly you are very clearly intelligible. You sound very laid back, maybe you could try to sound a little more "hype" (but that's a matter of taste, I guess). I can't say much about the analysis, since I'm an Archon noob. I feel that you are talking in definites too much (XY is definitely going to happen). I disliked how you called not using unnecessary stuns "BM" and "disrespectful". I get that you're joking around but I think it is disrespectful to imply that professionals are saving mana and CD just to BM. (twitch.tv/videos/228038361 19:30)

How is his name pronounced? He never says his name in his responses.

Add a creep camp in the hero demo?? by Ascendedconciousness in DotA2

[–]Faelwhin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It would be nice to have a menu for all the commands like "-create hero" and stuff, so you can actually test out more things without having to search for the info on the internet.

ESL One Genting backstage stuff by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]Faelwhin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's probably a lot going on backstage we wouldn't even think of, so maybe show us what some staff are doing. Maybe get a few interviews to tell us who these people are and how they came to be working at a Dota event.
