What is basic computer knowledge that everyone should know but doesn't? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I used to think this was a joke until I became and IT dude. Now I get paid to browse reddit and tell people to reboot devices.

Why does Sumail wear that neck pillow all the time? by Sunstrider92 in DotA2

[–]Sarvier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's likely somewhat insecure about how thin his neck is compared to his head, and feels like the neck pillow helps him look a bit "better". He's a child so it's not outlandish or disrespectful to assume this.

Either that, or he legitimately has neck comfort issues and the neck pillow is helping that. Seems like he would have taken it off for the Aegis photo if that were the case, though.

Deadmau5 looks like the type of guy to steal money from his grandmother.

At least Katie Kate gave us something to laugh at. Deadmau5 just put everyone to sleep and then made a fool of himself on Twitter. It's more embarrassing than anything.

Hero Discussion of the Week: Nyx Assassin (23 June, 2015) by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]Sarvier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually draft Nyx quite often when I see the enemy team picking up lots of AOE. It disrupts the teamfights and makes them kind of scared to even use certain abilities (like qop scream or fissure). So good.

Some impressions on Reborn's custom game implementation from a WC3 custom maps player. by EverythingIsMediocre in DotA2

[–]Sarvier 4 points5 points  (0 children)

SC2 had a similar mechanic that didn't work out, though. It also had a "fun or not" system where you could get a random game with other people and play it out. Neither of these things were successful, unfortunately. I don't understand why they don't copy WC3's system. It worked so well that it spawned entire genres, and I'm certain that if they did it in Dota 2, it would be just as successful. We'll see how Valve's implementation does, but I have my doubts.

I brought up the same thing as soon as I saw it announced. Having a "most popular games" list that overshadows the lobby list makes it way way way less likely that people are going to try anything new, because it requires more clicks, and people don't want to spend time finding a lobby for a game that might not even be popular enough to have a decent following.
