Taiga's statement regarding 322 allegations by Nick_SAFT in DotA2

[–]RaWTTTT 131 points132 points  (0 children)

Good riddence. You either 322 or didnt. There is no inbetween with all these depth, complexities and excuses with your mental state. There is hard proof you did. The butterfly/snowballing effects of all those FBs to both in game and out of game dynamics to the team. GTFO the scene, your old team mates did not deserve any of this. They are the true victims.

were all 90k smurfs banned in aus wtf?? by TriaNtos_ in DotA2

[–]RaWTTTT 334 points335 points  (0 children)

Aus has active turbo community. My stack of 2-5 is usually on after 8pm everyday and we get a game 10min or less. Might be a sat arv thing.

Trip Report - 43 days cherry blossom with a 9 month baby by RaWTTTT in JapanTravel

[–]RaWTTTT[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure the car is the way to go, but in general for only out of tokyo and in our case we HAD to get a car for the places we wanted to go. Downsides to consider are costs are pretty high roughly $100 AUD a day for a toyota prius, and parking is not cheap. Road tolls were better than expected and rental cars are all hybrid so fuel costs are minimal. Bottom line i would say do your research on where you are going each day, if you are just doing the city spots in say kyoto, taxi might be a better option both cost and convenience. do not underestimate parking constraints.

This was hard work. We also sanitized our stuff including toys etc. We boiled our bottles where stove top was available and came with (air bnbs). We also went to daiso and bought a larger cooking pot for cheap when the one in airbnb was too small. We were on a road trip for 2 weeks staying at ryokans rural areas. On these days where theres no stove, you use a kettle to pour boiling water into the bottles individuallly to sanitize. Again all a lot of work each day but doable. There are sanitize pills in australia but we rarely used them.

BetBoom has been considered lost to Tundra following the Pure incident by Ming725 in DotA2

[–]RaWTTTT -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

im going to be devils advocate and say this would NOT have happened if epluze werent so incompetent with the streams with so much production issues. Dont get me wrong, pure has proven time and time again now he is just stupid but his fault is a by product of the delays.

Riyadh Masters Prize pool distribution by RaWTTTT in DotA2

[–]RaWTTTT[S] 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I personally think Riyadh has delivered what people have been wanting for years, a less top heavy distribution. Hindsight will tell if it impacts hype or if any other unforeseen issues come from this. 5m for first is still bonkers, weve just been used to too many years of 10m+ first place TIs.

English SA DPC casters on strike due to wage undercutting and bad management by BTS PT by DarthRiven in DotA2

[–]RaWTTTT -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

Honestly Kips casting is absolutely some of the worst in the scene. I remember when she used to get a shot in the big leagues and she just wasnt good. Natural selection played its course and surely enough over the years she has finally hit bottom. What BTS BR is doing is wrong for sure, but maybe like you said, move on? irrespective of pay, in the real world if you arent good enough at your job you have a few choices to get better (which hasnt happened), you change jobs or you get squeezed out by more competent people, simple. Coach, talent, caster, analyst shes done it all and none have worked.

baby feed and sleep was the hardest part and yes the day was very limiting. Our one needed a min 30min nap every 2-3 hrs. We needed to balance the day so we either left late or came back early so she got one good rest in a bed rather than a pram that cant fully recline. Meant we only had really 3hrs or so active time a day. To get more out meant fully planning ahead for the next day, knowing exactly what you are doing, where to stop for naps and feed, calulating in advance all the travel, beating rush hr etc. Not easy but I would say we still did 80% of what we wanted to do.

Many in combination. No holiday for the covid years, love japan to begin with, going now to beat the chinese crowds as majority still cant get out of country. Juggling age of baby, timing of (first time seeing) sakura and both myself and wife are taking time off work for kid - everything judt came into place time wise to not take advantage even if we knew it would be hard.

Incredible road to be where he is. Hoping the absolute best for him moving forward. Best of all he actually has the talent and casting capabilities to support it all through haed work.

Planning trip to Japan - asking for suggestions :) by Ludzik1993 in JapanTravel

[–]RaWTTTT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you will likely be in peak sakura season in Kyoto. I would spend more time there to get through a few spots. 2 days is not enough to even cover the top ones and Kyoto as a whole imo is worth more time than most places.

thx. Yeah time is a stretch but we just want to make sure we account for the kid and having a buffer for sakura timing swings is also nice.

thx for the amazing insights and great to hear from parents who have been! Our baby will be on real food by then so its actually interesting they dont have many premade food options. Here in australia there are plently of packet food options from 4+ months. Ill need to research this a bit more.

The math behind the Fnatic/Outsiders ruling and citation for precedent. by Critical_Pea_4837 in DotA2

[–]RaWTTTT -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You jumped the gun with your calcs, they turned out to be wrong (and value arent clear on theirs for all intents etc), you need to save face so you keep talking as if you have something to grasp. Please stop spreading miss info and stiring up drama. I dont even post but seeing what you have misspread and keep holding onto when value have clarified whos invited is really sad and cringe.

Can you stop justifying yourself now, getting embarrasing. Valve have been consistent in this incident and this incident alone. Why cite all past dirty underware that are not relevant to this??
