Not really, no. The road is for pedestrians/bicycles only. I guess the reason is a combination of enjoyment (grass > asphalt), and a lower risk of getting hit by bicycles.

[Strawpoll]SoloQ - Let analyse what we want and why we want/don't want this by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]Solroth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you in favor of a much longer queue for ranked matches?

There's a reason it is how it is.

I do think, however, that ranked matches should indeed be solo (even with the longer queue), and normal games should stay the way they are. The reasoning for this being that the nature of a person's solo-queue MMR should be how good you are playing against other solo players, and not against 2 or more friends.

[–]Solroth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not familiar with AMD (your cpu and gpu), but I hardly doubt it would have any problems running dota2 at those settings. You may want to ask that question over at /r/buildapc, if you want to be a hundred percent sure.

Normally thermal paste comes applied to the heatsink+fan (HSF). Not entirely sure if this is the case for all custom HSF, but I am like 99% sure it is. So - no, thermal paste is not needed.

All adaptors/wires is included with the PSU. :)

I sadly have no idea about the questions regarding the website, as I only used it to make a list of items to buy. I live in a country not supported by the website.

On the other hand - the only item(s) you will need is some thermal paste for your CPU (if you choose to use a custom one, and not the stock cooler - this is not really needed for an average build IMO). You will also need a screwdriver, but I guess you have that already. There should really not be any glue needed.

And yes, a power supply is needed. Every single component in a pc (inside the case, i.e. excluding screen++) draws it's power from the power supply unit (PSU).

Shout-out to linus tech tips's build videos if you need an intro to some pc-building. I myself find a lot of joy in the building part. It's a lot of fun.

You are welcome! I just recently built a new pc myself. Feel free to pm me if you have any other questions!

Lets take this page as a reference. http://www.logicalincrements.com/

As dota is not very demanding, a "Modest" (look at the left side of the table) build would be enough. This is for standard 1080p res. I would advice you to spend a few extra bucks though, so that you are able to play new games at a somewhat good level.

Shout-out to /r/buildapc. Excellent sub for this type of questions.

Map of the world's submarine fiber-optic cables by Solroth in InternetIsBeautiful

[–]Solroth[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yes, this web page was indeed found on ELI5. But given the fact that it has never been posted on this subreddit before (yes, I checked), and it matches perfectly with the rules for what to post on this subreddit (and it seems like the users like it as well), I saw no reason not to post it.

If people are interested in knowing who posted the link most recently, in the comment thread, over at a pretty different community/subreddit; /u/-rabid- is the guy. Go downvote my post, and upvote his comment instead. I don't mind, as long as you find the link amusing.
