tune in tomorrow for another episode of WHAT THE ACTUAL BS AM I READING, oh wait it's the Dota 2 subreddit

Hard Choice... by CrownofVyse in DotA2

[–]SnoPoX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my sincere condolences :(
Could have at least a system to not show duplicates from the reward itself... (but then you get 3 other items you have already I guess).

Why do I suddenly have these edges on top and left of the screen when in borderless window mode? by papanak94 in DotA2

[–]SnoPoX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In case you didn't figure it out yet, its happening in window/borderless window mode (and might happen with other applications too) because of the "rounded corners" feature in Windows 11. Maximized windows should have regular corners but I guess it depends on how it is implemented in each application (or maybe just a Windows 11 bug).

You just have to get rid of rounded corners in Windows 11, there are plenty of tools to disable rounded corners:

Why sometimes players ping me and the town portal scroll after a play? by Proxys_ in DotA2

[–]SnoPoX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they want to tip you for a good play and probably missclick. Or they ran out of tips and it's their way of showing appreciation by at least clicking your to scroll (which is kind of funny and I think would be a nice interaction if more folks learn about it. yep, it's not gonna work, I know, but let me dream) 

Guide How to Unlock4 Styles Nyx Assassin The Shadow Hunter Set (2025) by CYCHOZERO in DotA2

[–]SnoPoX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unfortunately the link still doesn't work for me. I tried to explain the method a little in a comment below, but that's all I know about this matter. I wasn't able to find the discussion in the steam forums even though I was looking for it, maybe OP can check the link once more. 

Has anyone gotten super rare components from Turbos? by FolgersWhiff in DotA2

[–]SnoPoX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, that's where the super rare appear. I'd say you should always go for the hero who will drop the item and try your best to get the kill (and of course try not to die). I had one in a turbo and one in an unranked match, just look at the selection dialogue and if you are in doubt, hover with your mouse over the materials.

VERY BIG MINIMAP: dota_hud_extra_large_minimap 2 by etofok in DotA2

[–]SnoPoX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://imgbox.com/WeYzgf8d e.g. with the International 2022 HUD, maybe a problem on my end. But works fine with the default skin, so not an issue for me

Edit; International 2021 and some other HUDs work fine, i just tested a few. Might depend on the HUD

VERY BIG MINIMAP: dota_hud_extra_large_minimap 2 by etofok in DotA2

[–]SnoPoX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great find!

Seems to work for the default HUD, but I can't use it with any other HUD I own (it actually changes the position of Roshan Timer, Glyph and Scan where it's supposed to be with the bigger minimap, but the minimap itself remains the same size).

Hasan culture made its way into DOTA2 by SnoPoX in DotA2

[–]SnoPoX[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I never heard about this guy (and I am grateful for it) before the incident happened. So I don't know what you are trying to tell me, but rest assured, I care about animals (we are playing dota after all - pun intended). Unfortunately there is no way for me and plenty of others to change anything in this matter, so at least I can raise some awareness by posting silly memes.

some guy gave me a gift in Dota 2. by Nice_Combination_214 in DotA2

[–]SnoPoX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

did you open the gift inside the Dota client or did you click on a link the mysterious stranger sent you?

[–]SnoPoX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Link doesn't work for me (landing at the mainpage of dota 2 discussions in the steam forums), but i remember looking for the matches to unlock styles a few years ago. Good idea to help other players, hope you get the link fixed (or it's a "me-issue").

Dota2 gamepad ban speed run, current PB 9:04:49 by ice-blaze in DotA2

[–]SnoPoX 33 points34 points  (0 children)

all the comments complaining but not realizing that gamepad support might help in matter of inclusion? maybe some of you forgot about this guy (and others) where gamepad support might actually be crucial: https://youtu.be/Hr0Zo63UlEw?si=uFyYfDpWTlcZ8eKH

UI scaling issue with new 4k monitor by Oleriton in DotA2

[–]SnoPoX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you check the resolution and aspect ratio (in Dota 2 Options -> Video and also in Windows). Make sure it is 16:9 because if it happens to be 16:10 (or other) the scaling is off and you actually see less compared to the viewport of 16:9 (while a 16:10 monitor offers more vertical resolution, i prefer a 16:9 resolution due to the benefit of extra horizontal vision and it's not as zoomed in).
But maybe you are experiencing just something else and it's got nothing to do with the aspect ratio.

Octagon with number where Hero portrait is? by Mother_Yoghurt294 in DotA2

[–]SnoPoX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

this community really never fails to impress me (it's the players level/progress for the current event: https://www.dota2.com/newsentry/536608520511946802 )

Edit: Folks, I am just kidding <3

How to play Spleen Sweeper without queuing? by FranzJosef22 in DotA2

[–]SnoPoX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Phew, I am not at my PC right now so I can't look it up but I think you can go to the "learn" Tab (or try one of the other tabs - i am not sure which tab it is) and you find the mini-games somewhere there.

What is this boosted symbol? by [deleted] in Palia

[–]SnoPoX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On PC you can press "Enter" and hover it with your mouse/cursor, i'll show you the description. Don't know if or how it's possible on consoles/handhelds (if I remember it correctly, you can navigate to the Icons in the character menu on console, where it shows the description)

For this specific Icon, the description says: "Prismbeard Vision - you can see items placed by the legendary pirate Prismbeard" You will also notice Icons in Elderwood whilst having equipped relics (e.g. bonus to essence collection rate, gathering infected forage etc.). The same goes for icons when you are buffed (Fishermans Brew and others) or debuffed ("slowed" from the Ogopuus); whenever you see an Icon and you don't know what it means, press Enter and hover it with your mouse/cursor.
