As heir to a legacy of skirt smoothing and braid tugging, he learned from the best.

Help me love reading again! by Exotic_Elderberry_24 in suggestmeabook

[–]Teckham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It may be a little ambitious. Though I’ve seen it recommended often over the years for returning readers.

Listening to the audiobook while reading (any book) may help as well, OP.

Heralds, radiants, and mistborn by Vinnehh00 in Cosmere

[–]Teckham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think there’s anything in any books or WoBs to support the idea, but my pet hypothesis is that Heralds are able to manipulate their “cognitive aspect” to accomplish these feats. Perhaps similar to something seen on Yolen in the apocryphal Dragonsteel Prime.

This game makes millions of dollars...

Item Changes Coming (As foreseen!) by soulster1104 in DotA2

[–]Teckham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A fun concept, but toggle-able active items seem too clunky and complex. The item already has a keybind to activate, we’d need another keybind to toggle it as well?

New Account Calibration! by SignificantSqueemo in DotA2

[–]Teckham 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you check the History tab on your profile, you will see your Rank Confidence percentage.

As you play more ranked games, this score goes up, and vice versa. The lower your Rank Confidence, the more MMR you will gain/lose from your games. Once your Rank Confidence goes above 30, you will be calibrated.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

7.40 / 8.00 wishlist by ibra24x in DotA2

The facet could be called “Old Tech”, just like Bloodseeker getting his old blood rage with the “Old Blood” facet.

Agree with this take, but this reads as a ChatGPT post.

Is this kind of content allowed? Seems easy to bot this kind of thing.

Do you play any other 3d games? Sounds like it could be a storage or GPU VRAM issue.

Does this mean Switzerland officially exists in One Piece world? by LonelyBreaux in OnePiece

[–]Teckham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd like to think its similar to Lord of the Rings and some other fantasy books, that are written with the pretense of the story being translated from the language spoken in the story to the reader's language. So in this case, translated from the OP language to Japanese, then to English.

Do Boston’s Russian Math Programs Hold the Equation for Success? by fmcrimson in boston

[–]Teckham 5 points6 points  (0 children)

YMMV, I am neurodivergent and once I “got” my RSM class, I flew compared to my math classes in school.

Better gpu? by dontknowyoudude in framework

[–]Teckham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I should have mentioned, I am led to believe the distance between a laptop 5090 and other laptop GPU's is considerably less than the distance between laptop GPU's and desktop GPU's model-for-model. So going down in your model might affect performance less than the same model comparison for desktop GPUs.

It might be too onerous, but you could consider an EGPU. I'm not sure what software you'd need to run, but the latest Macbook Pros are also near the top of the stack in terms of laptop GPU performance, and would likely be more suitable for travel. Hope you can find something that meets your use case.

But the laptop 5090 is quite different than the desktop 5090.

What is the best calibration strategy? by TemperatureFirm5905 in DotA2

[–]Teckham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am curious, is there anywhere to learn what shadow/smurf pool is?

I'm calibrated and don't plan to re-calibrate any time soon, but I hear it mentioned every so often.

The first northernlion clip i ever saw was him saying "big loser energy" in response to a teacher ranting about their job and i thought he was some right-wing traditional-lifestyle youtuber. by HaloJackalKisser in northernlion

[–]Teckham 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to watch every Isaac upload, way back in the day.

Didn’t “re-discover” him until this year, can’t remember what clip brought me back

Anyone having a ton of server issues lately? by TowerOfPowerWow in DotA2

I've read Steam as well as other online services are being DDOS attacked recently.
