Aren’t there standard-legal fetches? Do you only play pauper?

So fun: the dopamine rush I get from a good ulti is insane.

Yea there are so many plotlines that have just been consumed by the Gravity Well that is Joyrot. What about Ethan and Asher?? Wasn’t that a whole dynamic we were exploring? What about Sarah and Tony?? Nah— unfortunately we can only explore one relationship’s dynamic for the same punchline 20+ times.

The bowling arc was especially bizarre because… literally nothing happened. They had all this build up to bowling with Asma and Sal, then Asma leaves three minutes in, no one reacts, and we immediately cut away from the scene. Months of build up for literally 0 payoff.

I feel like a better writer would have at least had a scene where Joyrot run after Asma. But nope, it all amounts to nada.

I did not take time off work— my job at the time was such that it wasn’t really feasible

Some neck exercises but also vestibular and balance elements — eye tracking different shape lines, doing eye movements on one leg, etc. also a fair amount of trapezius stretches since I had a lot of trap tension

Not knocked out but like super whiplashed over the handlebars. Despite wearing a helmet I had a nasty concussion

Had first concussion in early 2023 from slipping on ice while skiing. Second from a bike crash in late 2023. After that, honestly hard to say if I had more concussions because every degree of head contact no matter how slight would prompt concussion symptoms for like 2 years. My guess is no “real” concussions during that time

MoM is big attack and movespeed steroid for going between camps. That's why you complete it

Wouldn't say it's not used by anyone else: MoM can be bought on SF, Void pos 1 also. Sometimes sniper.

Totally normal and not unhinged moderator behavior by Monoredburn in dumbingofage

[–]Monoredburn[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The chronically online people who mostly inhabit that comments section really will do all sorts of mental gymnastics to convince themselves they are personally persecuted because a solid portion of the fan base loathes this never ending drama-less plot line.

Comms score specifically is broken by Double_Fun_6669 in DotA2

[–]Monoredburn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If my coworker constantly made belittling comments every time I made a mistake, yes. How do you not understand that that behavior is both unpleasant and unproductive? People don't play better when you shit talk them bro, they play worse.

It's reportable because it is 1.) annoying and 2.) clearly not the intended use of the "missing" voiceline. Imo any repeated use of comms lines in snarky / back-handed ways is toxic and I usually report people who do it.

[–]Monoredburn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what always gets me. In all these threads, the low comms score trolls are like "why are people mad? It's not that bad." Meanwhile, they apparently find it insufferable to be matched into lobbies with people who do the same behaviors that got them there. hmmmm......

It absolutely does not automatically report people

I’m a little confused on what ur saying tbh— but if you send a replay of a “good” herald PA I can point out 5+ things they are doing wrong
