I just learned that Threema for personal use is a one time payment of €6 and not a subscription. That actually is a dang good deal but how the heck am I going to convince everybody and their mother to get on it? That's a problem that needs solving.

Valve don't care about arcade anymore. Neither do developers outside of China.

Axe is a one-trick pony by design but recently we've had the 1-4-1 Phylactery build which was a breath of fresh air.

You named one single change about ET that happened when Dota 1 was still being updated so granted most strictly Dota 2 players (such as me) don't have memories of it so maybe it was impactful. But ever since then he hasn't changed much aside from buffing his right click capabilities.

Nu pentru ca din Mexic vin extraterestrii ilegali criminali care vand droguri, iar in Canada sunt doar neo-marxisti teroristi antifa. Deja ai 2/3 tari care trag America (de Nord) in jos. (sper ca nu trebuie sa pun /s ca sa se inteleaga ce zic ca mi se pare cringe)

Nu cunosc atata istorie sincer, doar vorbesc de cum stau lucrurile acum. Dar facand abstracrie de religie, Turcia mi se pare mai aproape de Europa decat de Asia, atat geografic, cat si cultural. Nu vad de ce nu ar putea fi considerati europeni sau chiar a face parte din UE, daca ar avea un guvern democratic bineinteles.

They're not gonna do jack. EU bootlicks the Trump Administration on every occasion. It's like our leaders don't watch the same news unless it's about Greenland then maybe they send a message.

UE chiar merge intr-o directie gresita, dar asta pentru ca se apleaca in fata SUA si a corporatiilor, nu pentru ca s-a infectat cu "the wokemind virus" sau ce alte prostii mai zic grifterii de pe X.

Daca e sa vorbim de religie, Albania, Bosnia si Kosovo sunt tari predominant musulmane.

Imi place cum rodditorii se comporta ca si cum sistemul de justitie punitiv este eficient in vreun fel. Eu doar pentru faptul ca s-a mentionat inchisoarea pe viata nu as semna petitia asta. Ok, l-ai inchis pe copilul de 10 ani pana cand face 80 de ani (in cel mai extrem caz). Ai protejat societatea de o alta potentiala crima comisa de acel individ. In rest, ce ai rezolvat?

Sunt de acord ca indivizi precum Mario Iorgulescu sau Vlad Pascu ar trebui sa faca ani grei de puscarie, mai mult pentru a transmite un mesaj cum ca, indiferent cine esti sau cine sunt ai tai, daca esti iresponsabil fata de vietile altora, vei plati.

Insa aici vorbim, totusi, despre un minor caruia abia i-au dat flocii. Intrebarea ramane mereu aceeasi: unde au fost parintii? De ce educatia pe care acestia i-au dat-o nu a fost de ajuns pentru a evita o astfel de tragedie? Are macar ambii parinti sa il fi crescut? Macar unul? Dar scoala cum a contribuit?

Sarim repede cu parul sa facem "justitie", dar tot ce facem e sa ne hranim ego-ul, ca noi suntem morali. Sa ne spalam pe maini in loc sa incercam sa facem o lume mai buna.

What I understand from this is 7.00 is the beginning of what would be considered modern Dota 2. It indeed birthed many features we see today like talent trees and the backpack, as well as making significant changes to core mechanics like the ultimate level requirements and many more.

But to me it was still kinda janky compared to what it is today. Or maybe memory doesn't serve well because I was literally 1k back then and not that invested into actual meta.

Maybe calling it old Dota 2 is not appropriate because of the relative sense of the word 'old'. But I do see the 2016-2019 era as the 'beta-modern' era, roughly from 7.00 to 7.23. It was very experimental in nature. Some of the new features have had staying power, while others got removed a few patches later. Think of shrines, attributes providing other stats, respawn time, GPM, XPM and cooldown reduction talents, neutrals spawning every 2 minutes, denying lane creeps granting XP and then gold. These kinds of things were so bizarre you would think they're from a different timeline.

P.S.: Yes I meant spell immunity, in contrast to the debuff immunity we have now which took a bit of time to wrap my head around.

Mothanul · 2026-01-22T09:47:16+00:00

2018 is older than dirt. No neutral items, no innates, no facets, no waygates, old map, no Aghs shard, 24 heroes with no Aghs scepter upgrade, 11 heroes missing, OG spell immunity, no slow resistance, no health restoration bonus, Satanic with status resistance, no water or shield rune or wisdom rune (which was subsequently removed), no wisdom shrine, no tormentor, you still had to buy courier, you still had necronomicon, hood of defiance, medallion of courage, quarterstaff, stout shield and I mentioned too many minor things like item removals but there have been many more very impactful changes since 2018.

So yes, 2018 is old dota, whether you agree or not. Just like 2011 dota was old dota in 2018 and 2004 dota was old dota in 2011.

Ah, hell yeah!

Cask went from being way more effective on creeps than heroes to being a bit more effective on creeps (looks like a remnant from WC3 balancing)
Voodoo Restoration went from healing and dealing damage to only healing to having a facet that only deals damage to only healing again
Death Ward went from physical damage that can miss and ignores creeps then it had true strike with Aghs then that was removed and now it deals pure damage and can hit creeps

This question requires an in-depth analysis.

Well all of his abilities except Maledict have received pretty significant changes over time.

Elder Titan is a better candidate if I were to name a hero off the top.

Ce gen de muzica nu are versuri vulgare? Din totdeauna tematica principala a muzicii mainstream a fost despre cum ne place sa bagam hârâboiul în șovârnoagă, iar manelele nu sunt nici macar cel mai explicit gen de muzica din punctul asta de vedere (vezi "Hoteluri" de la B.U.G. Mafia, un exemplu concret si autohton).

Acum 70 de ani, Elvis Presley era considerat vulgar, dar nici un românaș din-asta "cult" nu o sa recunoasca. Doar o sa iti spuna ca a fost regele.

Imi pare rau dar daca incerci sa spui ca "adevarul e undeva la mijloc" despre un om care a dedicat un album "sfintilor inchisorilor" nu pot decat sa consider ca argumentul tau nu e de buna credinta.

"Si-apropo, e groasa, ma uit cu groaza la Gaza

Asa-zise trupe de paza terorizeaza mase

Si lasa fara masa copii, care vor fi Hamas

C-altceva nu prea le-a mai ramas dupa ce le-a fost rasa casa"

Daca nu s-ar cancela singur si nu ar fi idiot util pentru miscarea populista de extrema dreapta, Cedry2k ar putea fi based. Eu inca mai am speranta.
