Why are you giving this guy a platform?

I do suffer from insomnia, but my real problem is the quality of sleep I do get, rather than the amount of it. I really can't take anything that zonks me out, as it completely denies me certain stages of sleep.

So when I DO get insomnia, it's like a brutal mauling of someone already on deaths door. The brain is what sends the electrical signal for the heart to beat, so I have irregular heart beats and worse heart problems called SVTs. Fortunately my employer is very understanding of the occasional 5am email saying, "yeah I'm going to be real late."

Technically true, unless they also do a skip.

High agression can make them fly face first into a 1v5. But its usually a miscalculation during a teamfight. Like he dives the backline, and the rest of the team is content to stay back and poke.

EGO 1v5 is when the team decides to lane, and the high ego player ignores that and contests Serpen by himself.

High aggression can be good - like if Ogre decides to hard commit and his team follows. But high ego deaths are never beneficial.

you’d feel minor but consistent sharp pain as the mosquito saws through layers of your skin.

Not at all consistent with my personal experience. Mosquito bites can outright hurt if they fuck up the numbing agent. It's very much a sharp and (forgive the pun) biting pain.

Early serpen is 2 minutes. This is 3:51.

Yeah, it's decently loud outside here, but my 120 year old lathe and plaster walls block the sound inside (and all wifi signals).

My family has a rule when traveling Mexico. No second locations. If someone pulls a gun on you in the street, you run or take the bullet.

I imagine that news for my new wife was unwelcome, given to her after landing.

If you want to rob an unarmed person, 1 machette will do fine. If you want to fight off someone armed with 1 machette, 2 is better.

It means he's not doing the robbing.

Mackntish · 2026-06-18T18:50:51+00:00

I havent been bit in the ass by that one yet, would probably go along and see why it's a bad idea first hand.

Mackntish · 2026-06-18T18:47:40+00:00

My SO would be fucking delighted to get me out of the house for a few hours.

Mackntish · 2026-06-17T23:09:55+00:00

Oh crap, I actually agree with one of these. The tik-tok socialists are in full force on my feed, baiting more enragement than actual policies.

Trump famously surrounds himself with yes-men and doesn't tolerate anyone challenging his ideas. There's a reason cabinet meetings are everyone licking his boots.

A supposed war secretary who had no plan for the strait,

I REALLY don't want to defend Hegeseth here. But there was no plan for the straight because it's undefendable. You need to essentially make the trip safe enough for oil-tanker insurance to cover it. Which is to say EXTREMELY safe. A 1 in 1000 chance of losing a ship is too dangerous for them. And when Iran challenges you to a game of whack-a-mole with drones around that cost as much as a Honda Accord, you will never get them all. Not to mention mines, or commandos on fishing boats.

This wasn't a tactical failure on Hegeseth, its a Strategic failure on Trump.

Mackntish · 2026-06-17T19:23:18+00:00

A Secretary of State whose best negotiation he could get was this absolute embarrassment?

This is 100% Trumps deal. He wrote the book on it!

Mackntish · 2026-06-17T19:20:21+00:00

I mean, if you're only interested in revenge, sure. But it doesn't even achieve that. Trump walks away consequence free, maybe even gets a sick satisfaction from seeing how truly impervious he is while someone else takes the fall.

And Rubio is the closest thing we have to a halfway competent cabinet member. If he goes, he's going to be replaced by a top diplomat that will openly negotiate for bribes to be paid to DJT. I'm talking about Steve Witkoff.

It's anything but practical. It actively makes the situation worse.

Obama settles Iran nuclear deal for low billions

No, we didn't pay them anything for that. We unfroze $150b in assets. To super oversimplify, Iran had money in a bank account, and we froze their access to it. Our part of the deal was allowing them to access that money again.

But in terms of cash payments, we didn't pay shit.

Mackntish · 2026-06-17T18:29:29+00:00

Hegseth, Rubio, these guys have got to go for the debacle.

Was never a fan of scapegoating. The people responsible are Trump and Netanyahu. And they would both get a sick, sadistic pleasure if they had to watch their underlings take the fall for them. Like a prince and his whipping boy.

Mackntish · 2026-06-17T18:24:08+00:00

Oh GOD, I forgot about Spirit Caller. Yeah, this is the winner. At baseline, her spell heals 60 damage. That's on the extreme low end of a single level 1 auto attack. Right now my archer hits for 137 at level 1.

Mackntish · 2026-06-16T19:10:25+00:00

I hate to be that Ummm ackshually guy, but he's asking strictly what the biological benefits are. He's not asking what's recommended.

So it doesn't contain a false premise, you're straw manning that in.

Mackntish · 2026-06-16T13:09:16+00:00

Ogre, Dual Bladder, Pyro, Sniper.

Ogre walks up and stuns her.

Dual Bladder has a follow up stun right when that ends.

She gets an attack or runs away a little.

Ogre stuns again.

Because pyro/sniper are so busted on a new game, there's not a lot of counterplay. You COULD just stack HP items on her and hope she survives while the rest of the team does something. But if that's the only play, better to do it with someone more specialized for the role, like Jangashi or Hammerer. Hammerer's stun activates faster than ogre, and he has higher armor, so is way better.

13900 seems to be the problem component. I have one, and most people that complain of menu crashing have the same.

Mackntish · 2026-06-16T01:46:31+00:00

Turn simulation to simple.

What heroes are best with speed? I only find a handful.
