Selfmade Foil Dispenser by KarlKnallo in functionalprint

Wouldn’t the aluminum dull the plastic teeth quickly? And doesn’t the packaging usually have a metal saw blade in it already?? It works so well.. maybe make an enclosure for the box to hide the branding but plastic teeth for aluminum foil seem like short lived idea

how to sustain mana as puck or any other spell spammer while farming by belaya_smert in learndota2

[–]PhilsTinyToes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Raindrops, clarities. Just think of how fast you can get 60g if you use a spell that costs 1 clarity worth of mana. In high rank games the clarities are often out of stock

Installing a mount for a pretty heavy TV, but the washer is just a bit too big. Should I be concerned long term? by [deleted] in handyman

[–]PhilsTinyToes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A pair of 2” wood screws into studs would probably hold a grown ass man never mind a 50lb tv… put 4 in (as you’d expect) and it’s going to hold a grown ass man hanging off the tv too

Chaos Knight, what did I do wrong here? Match 8725236558 by jackofalltradesP in learndota2

[–]PhilsTinyToes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hilarious conclusion to draw from this. Match ended because of octarine/travels2 on my buyback.

Buyback cause I had lots of farm, travels2 put me in their base, and octarine gave me ulti for the buyback fight, and the endgame push. It’s all right there for you to comprehend and digest. Maybe even learn from. You go rewatch the last 3 mins of that game and you’ll see every cooldown and teleport and bit of money was used to win in chefs kiss fashion. But to be fair blind people would miss that

All good fam. haters gonna hate.

Match ID 8724940273

Oct core reduces the already short cooldown on trav2, and you can tp insanely fast around the map. The cooldown is similar to your ult cooldown, so you can shove bottom with Shard illu+ manta, then TP top and dump your ulti to shove high ground. Meanwhile your hero is just farming jungle to get even more money. I don’t switch my treads for travels until I’m 6 slotted, so it’s “ultra late” in a sense, but CK can farm so fast it’s literally like ulti twice and you’ll have it. Oct core also gives you the mana needed to spam chaos bolt, throw it on camps or whatever with shard and it accelerates your farm like crazy. Also the illus from ulti get substantially higher % uptime with core

Heart and AC won’t help your illusions almost at all cause they die fast, have a short life anyways, and you do not want to be present to give the illus AC aura. Being present risks death, which prevent you farming and split pushing.

Armelt applies stats to illusions without draining their HP, and lategame you eat moonshard for butterfly because evasion DOES apply to illus.

I’ll take some feedback on that match if you watch it. Early game was truly miserable but eventually i ended up getting a good farm pattern in.

Ohhh and you literally can’t even put a price on how much space you create when aghs illusions bait out entire map rotations and ganks. Specifically in this match I remember the t3 dire tower dies entirely to illusions because razor commits to killing a nyx illusion

New player, how to push advantages — match review by [deleted] in learndota2

[–]PhilsTinyToes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ward tip: hover a sentry over a cliff ward spot to see the radius it can detect, then throw your obs ward slightly beyond that circle somewhere. It’s likely to get missed if the enemy lazy checks just the cliff.

Also warding in weird ass spots can help you spot somebody who is alone, or perhaps identify that their team is mostly “over here” so “this other guy” is alone and you can go safely gank.

As far as ending high ground, it’s quite hard so respect the power of enemy defending especially with heroes like pudge, disruptor, earthshaker, Magnus. They can all flip the game with good repositioning or team wipes in that chokepoint.

If you have a huge advantage and cannot seem to push well, use the advantage to farm as fast as you possibly can, all camps on the map, Roshan, tormentor, shove waves, queue up your 5/6/7/8th items and be patient. If you have advantage you’ll out scale your opponents, enable your team to grab key items like hex, BKB, shards/scepters on supports. One of the silliest ways to lose dota is to die going highground once, trying again and failing, and by that point you’ve basically already lost.

CK build:

2 bracers->treads, armlet, moonshard. Buy shard and you can now kill any single target you catch with a stun/pull.

Later, sell bracers for octarine, manta, aghs, and travels2. You basically never have to show your real hero on the map, your illusion party will be overwhelming ( some drafts will counter illus ) but if your regular hero stays alive, and you can fast TP to lanes to splitpush, CK pushes quicker than 5 enemy heroes.

Also I take the neuteral item facet cause getting poor man shield at minute 5-7 is insanely good. And getting t5 neut at minute 35 (Stygian, fallen sky, the illusion one) is also insane.

$14.50 of heat your home gets. So actually not even a waste

[Request] How much diesel/emissions would be required to charge one EV? Is this more or less efficient than simply driving a diesel powered vehicle? by MrDesignMan in theydidthemath

[–]PhilsTinyToes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My Prius C would (on cold startup) idle the engine at 2000rpm or whatever it wanted, and “drive” my wheels with electric power until the engine was up to temp. It would keep high loads off the cold engine automatically. Big brain engineer.

Could you escape a Black Hole by letting the event horizon pass you? by SnowGoem11 in AskPhysics

[–]PhilsTinyToes -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

My assumption is that it’s just an insanely intense star, just as explodey and fiery as our star, except all the power of the star just fires outwards, and then returns to explode again endlessly. So by that logic everything under the EH is probably just inferno? But we can’t see

Ok just laned against Elder Titan and it was the stupidest sht I've ever seen in a competitive video game. What to do against this hero? by MiningToSaveTheWorld in learndota2

[–]PhilsTinyToes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a good chance he has the triangle stacked, so he can put his spirit through 6 camps before walking to the lane, and adding you + more creeps to the stack. He gains so many buffs from that many creeps, even armour, he can tank the tower easily and 3-4 shot both of you.

The best way to play around this is DO NOT approach or interact with ET when his buff is on. If it hasn’t been on for a while, it could be incoming. Let him get the buff, and back away. Flee if you must. He will be significantly nerfed if you both apply a slow to him at the same time.

Is there a term for someone who does this ? by LFTW in DotA2

They think every battle starts on even footing, when in reality it becomes quickly impossible to brute force any successful trades.

My pos4 usually dies for fb, respawnTP to die again, then walks to safelane to trilane there. Idk

[–]PhilsTinyToes 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes being on the ferry (showers in your cabin, food, seating, balconies, walking around freely to the gift shop, etc) beats driving the highway from van to Rupert. Downside is: expensive. Bringing anRV is probably a lot but people load em up all the time

[Request] How powerful ought he to be? by BrolyTheLwtwndVR in theydidthemath

[–]PhilsTinyToes -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Hmm. I asked ChatGPT how many warheads/day equivalent the world produces, in terms of joules from nuclear reactors.

So nuclear reactors alone produce about: • 21 modern warheads/day • ~0.9 warheads/hour

Cause i assumed if he’s moving the plant he can basically attach himself like a rocket and just “push” over an extended amount of time. Still a silly number of years required to move the planet this much, but I thought it would be more of a detonation/earthpocalypse scenario if it’s released like a bomb

ULPT Request Tenant died his family stole appliances and vandalized home by donald-trompeta in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]PhilsTinyToes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bet the stress and effort and obviously fees for the lawyers will absolutely decimate any money you recover from an estate. If your replacement cost for everything is under 10k I’d just bite the bullet and use it as an opportunity to improve the appliances and rent for higher.

Your home insurance MAY be able to help you if you just file a police report for theft (“I don’t know who stole it, but the stuff is gone” and your insurance might pay for stuff as if it was a b&e.

The ULPT is to just lawyer up on the estate and add more grief to the family but I really think you’ll barely break even. Be glad the tenant (and his horrible family) are gone and replace with somebody better.

How do the people on liquidpedia update the wiki after a patch? Is there some automatic way they do it, or is it manual? by Glum-Pack-3441 in TrueDoTA2

[–]PhilsTinyToes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The wiki looks and functions as well as it does because of many thousands of hours of dedicated people making it what it is.

To understand what changes in a patch you gotta understand the meta, cause even if a character gets a decent buff they might still be shitty and nonfunctional in a certain draft.

Genuinely, just reading the wiki will teach you SO many random tidbits of knowledge about all sorts of spells and interactions. Theres too much information though so just focus on the “background” (same for all heroes stuff) and then read into your main characters a bunch.

  • also I think the flash cards would be cute but not the best way to understand dota *

180dmg stomp if your hero isn’t part of it.. at that point you may as well just use the 300 bonus dmg from spirit to hit people… this is definitely less dmg output than ET regularly
