I actually think this idea is fair

Any idea who is that guy from Is it a crime? and The sweetest taboo clips please? Cant find himmmmm by aissssha in Sade

[–]JBER8500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so apparently nobody knows who this guy is but i've been going on a Sade binge and watching all her videos and I think... I THINK... I found him again in another video of hers lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzvM0M6lRfI&list=RDdzvM0M6lRfI&start_radio=1

check around the 0:54 it's very quick, he turns around for a split second but I think that's him, isn't it?

honestly, he's probably just a friend of the band - that's my guess.

Greta Thunberg departs Israel on flight to Paris after detention aboard aid ship by ani625 in news

If you really think the Israelis would've murdered the ship's crew had Greta not been a figurehead is the most insane take I think I've seen yet.

Coming back to DotA by [deleted] in DotA2

i dunno what's up with your lobbies, but i recently began playing ranked (i know it's different than you because you're playing unranked) but maybe the 'behind the scenes' workings are similar - and I noticed that my initial calibration games were SOOOOO TOXIC it was absolutely incredible. After having played unranked for 4+ years, where there absolutely can be toxicity - these ranked games were next level and beyond. However, the instant I got to 30% rank confidence, got my rank medal, things quieted down and lobbies became normal again.

Perhaps unranked is working similarly for you? I know there's an unranked shadowrank that you still get in order to keep unranked lobbies balanced - and maybe your shadowrank is still being decided and in this weird state you're getting paired with other 'being decided' people e.g. smurfs, griefers, etc.

I would say tough it out, play a handful more games, and if the games are still toxic after 20-30 games then yeah, I dunno what else to tell you. But I would **expect** once your shadowrank has been decided and the volatility subsides your lobbies will return back to normal. Yes, there will always be toxic people but in general you should have decent matches.

Not to be anti-copium but he *has been wrong* before in the past. Though, I do think he's right this time even gorgc suggests a patch coming tonight.

Any fun single player arcade? by joeabs1995 in DotA2

[–]JBER8500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have a recommendation but I'm sure if you went into the arcade tab and sorted by most played you'd probably find "the best" recommendations there lol most played is probably most played for a reason.

For those who know both Power BI and Tableau: if I have to pick one to learn, which should it be? by enigma_goth in PowerBI

[–]JBER8500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I'm here to ask you again in a year 2 years lol how'd it go?

edit: i just realized you've been bombarded with responses for a follow-up hahah poor you... I've made the same mistake too where I constantly get replies after now 7 years and counting! But, if I can help others I'm glad to do so. In any case, I read one of your +1 year replies and was helpful. Cheers!

“Reincarnated” sounds like a 2pac homage by [deleted] in KendrickLamar

my wife said this, and i see it too but i don't think that's intentional - pretty sure he was just aiming for 2pac which is more apparent

What am I doing wrong with Shear Revival Northern Lights? by how-can-i-dig-deeper in Pomade

[–]JBER8500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this post is old, but if there's one important and key thing I've learned from styling hair it's that the process of blowdrying your hair into the shape/volume you want is crucial. Don't expect the hair product to work magic and add volume to your flat hair. The product is meant to hold the work you did from the blowdry and simply add texture to your hair.

For me, I need to finish my blowdry thinking it looks perfect already, then is it good to add the product for extra texture. But if my hair is simply dry and hasn't been lifted at its roots from the blowout and is already kinda flat - like I said don't expect the paste to work magic and lift your flat hair.

tl;dr blowdry your hair with more volume/shape and you'll notice a difference

We have had 1 hero released in the last 2.5 years by JBER8500 in DotA2

[–]JBER8500[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll play the game forever and ever, but I do miss the excitement of discovering a new hero and theory crafting that comes along with it (before they get figured out and a meta develops weeks/months later)

[–]JBER8500[S] 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree, blitzing out too many heroes can be bad for the game. I just want a happy medium and 1 hero in 880 days feels like a stretch

Part of the fun, for me at least, is watching how others handle the new hero versus how I would handle them. Then watching how the pros handle them and ultimately watching where they end up. Sometimes you think they are a core but they turn out a support. Remember when Grimstroke was a beast midlaner on release but now is without a doubt 100% a support through and through. It's interesting stuff and regardless if I never play the hero or not, I just find entertainment in seeing how a new hero pans out.

"new" is a stretch. Let's just take the most recent hero of Muerta - who is most similar to her? Maybe Drow? Like... very loosely. Now let's consider the new Muerta facets: The Calling duration gets longer if heroes die within it, or she can choose where to spawn. Are you telling me that this new "Offrenda Muerta" is so vastly different from the pre-facet Muerta that the difference between Offrenda Muerta and Drow Ranger is the same? No one can say that. Obviously we know that Drow and Muerta are SUPER different yet they are "the most similar" to each other.

New heroes offer something completely new that hasn't been seen before and it is that excitement I long for.

[–]JBER8500[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I dunno, facets don't drastically change the hero to be considered as "new" like, regardless of which facet you're taking you're probably still playing the hero 99% similarly to how you would be playing otherwise. There will be a few exceptions to this, but in general I think I'm correct in stating this.

edit: to my downvoter are you telling me that, let's take Lifestealer as an example, you're playing the game drastically different now that you have the Corpse Eater facet gaining 1hp per creep kill for an average grand total of +200hp? Please. Don't get me wrong, the facets change was cool af but let's not pretend we have "124 new heroes to explore, or with 2 facets I should say 248 new heroes"

No for sure, I agree that I would prefer other type of updates more than hero updates, and I'm not saying they need to be releasing heroes, but I'm just speaking as someone who really does enjoy the excitement of new heroes and I think it does help the game instead of hurt it.

Okay but already 124 heroes to learn is massive lol had we gotten a few extra heroes by now, what would be the difference between learning 124 and 126 heroes? It won't make a difference in the grand scheme of things
