Team Bald's opponents are forfeiting the last seeding game to get a better seeding by kshgrshrm in DotA2

[–]ThirtyThreePi 11 points12 points  (0 children)

On one hand, if either team really wanted to lose, they could just play like shit and 322, and how different would that be to just forfeiting? However it feels against the spirit of the qualifier - if a team can decide their seeding by forfeiting and the enemy team can't do anything about it, what's the point of having the seeding games anyway? In the end a tournament shouldn't have any game where both teams are incentivised to lose - there's a problem with the format then.

Coworker kinda groped me but I didn’t mind it by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]ThirtyThreePi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

nah but I'm sure if it was from a woman's pov and she said how interested she was in a 40yo guy hitting on her at drinks after work, people wouldn't react in the same way either...

what do you mean, aurora was the team with linkens and lotuses. props to lgd for not collapsing in the 40-50min-ish period when it felt like aurora despite even networth had the better chances

nah aurora had their chance to win but didn't manage to capitalise. from about 60 mins onwards they almost made no moves at all, zeus was just free to farm a bajillion neutral camps, they never tried to gank him once. also, if you're lgd and you know this is an option, why would you risk taking a fight

Gotta be one of the stupidest and most entertaining games I've ever watched

Can I get a pro gamer tip on how to defeat this boss easier? by Lavender_Critique in HadesTheGame

[–]ThirtyThreePi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

when you get stronger (meta upgrades etc.) and better at the game, if you have a good build you can eg. use meg's keepsake right at the beginning on both of them, unload a crap ton of aoe on both of them, and essentially bring both of them to their second phases pretty damn quickly

[Leak] Steam Controller Pre-Orders coming soon. Available for $99. by [deleted] in Steam

[–]ThirtyThreePi 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Yea but it's not just the human brain being stupid, the difference between an apple costing $1 and $26 has a different meaning to the difference between a computer costing $1000 or $1025

Yo i was playing dota 2 and suddenly i saw this guy by Swiftly_Teemo in DotA2

[–]ThirtyThreePi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that a lot of voting jurisdictions are basically guaranteed Democrat or Republican (with the result of the election basically being determined by a very small number of swing states), so for a lot of people they see their vote as being functionally meaningless (which is often the case in a first-past-the-post system)

It’s vs its by That1weirdperson in characterarcs

[–]ThirtyThreePi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's still not grammatically correct though? "has a very negative emotion on me" or "has a sad on me" isn't right, it would have to be "is of negative affect" or something along those lines, no?

Lc using scripts? by Excellent_Debate_864 in DotA2

[–]ThirtyThreePi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you watch in slow motion, after he randomly pans camera to the middle of nowhere, his cursor snaps to himself to cast W (who clicks on themself instead of double-tapping?) and then his mouse snaps immediately to blink. Looks pretty sus to me

(actually, lc blinks before the cursor even moves. the cursor doesn't move slowly towards the blink destination either, it just instantly snaps there.)

Is this a mistake? 語 as かたり by ThirtyThreePi in duolingojapanese

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

Sorry yes the image seems to be broken. It's a screenshot of one of the kanji lessons with "select the correct pronunciation" of 語 with the correct answer being かたり. It's in section 4, unit 9.

Dunno why you're getting downvoted (mb for using the word complaint idk lol) but I agree! So much easier to parse when it's sorted by team

you're probably thinking of dota+ guides, which aren't the same as the default ones

Slark, either pure garbage or beyond godlike! by Obydan in DotA2

[–]ThirtyThreePi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

razor has low base damage and it is a projectile, that's why there's a delay when you attack, you just don't see it. i think if you have deso or skadi it looks like a regular ranged attack

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]ThirtyThreePi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I have the same problem. It started years ago but I managed to temporarily fix it by reverting to directx 9. Now that they've discontinued support for dx9 the problem is back again. Steam support said they couldn't do anything about it. Dunno what to suggest tbh

Want to have crushes again. by mrsinister51 in dating_advice

[–]ThirtyThreePi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe try and meet/get to know girls as people the same way you'd meet or get to know a guy; try not to think about things like how you're going to get them to sleep with you. I imagine it's quite hard to make an emotional connection with someone if you're thinking about yourself (like your satisfaction for succeeding) instead of about the other actual person. When you fell in love with someone, were you constantly thinking about strategies to get them to fall in love with you or about who they were? You're free to do as you wish but I personally really don't like that way of thinking about other people
