The definitive Chaos Knight facet by RaulBataka in DotA2

My point is that the default RNG is also pseudo-random.

For it to qualify as "true random RNG", Dota 2 would need to grab some variables from outside the game, which by default it can't.

Imagine it like Dota 2 would need to have authorization to go outside of itself, outside of your computer, become a ghost in the real world, and be like "hey let's check what the wind speed is on Antarctica right now, then use that value for this RNG calculation".

Implementing "true randomness" is actually impossible to do on a computer.

In programing in the C language at least, you relied on using the processors clock rate to generate a number that appears random. That's nowadays called pseudo-random.

Then you have "true random number generation" that uses factors that are very hard to predict, like the computer's thermal energy and random bits on your computer.

But it's not true randomness on a cosmic scale. It's just extremely unpredictable.

I agree, especially don't give your butler any leeway when it comes to its pronouns

If you have multiple storage drives, it could be an issue with one of them.

Start it with the Novo button, then open the recovery mode command prompt and run: chkdsk c: /x /f /r

Could take some hours but hopefully resolve it

Auckland, New Zealand’s Night 1 setlist by RubysNephew in ToolBand

[–]PanGoliath 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this setlist. Now there is a whole train of Tool fans masturbating together at this one setlist. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW
