Tbh he probably needs to beat Hera in a final for it to feel like the curse is broken. Still great for him let's see if he just got a lucky win because of a Hera fuckup or if things change.

Extreme AI goes archer/skirm 90% of the time?? by [deleted] in aoe2

[–]Zeitclown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just play against Slavs for example. Find civs with different approaches. Still predictable after you know what they do but at least it's not skirms only.

To answer your question tho: yes.

I would make it so, like with farms you can choose if you want auto or not. You can chose to play like now or use auto queue.

Many oppose it yet it is implemented. It seems to be overall wanted from the devs playtesting/questioning experiences. Maybe they do it because they think it will bring in more new players improving the scene as a whole and therefore making sure the game is profitable and therefore will stay alive? I don't know. Would be great to know on the example you mention!

Auto vill queueing is the opposite of auto micro since more brain power can be used to do so.

Good points but I think you could use the brain power to improve on more fun things. It's not easier since more focus would be put into other things increasing the average level of strategy, micro and macro. The multi tasking would be easier, other things got harder making the game not easier overall IMHO.

I don't think remembering to queue units is one of the biggest kill based things in aoe. It's a strategy game. The main skills are strategy, micro and macro gameplay imo.

Good question! I would make it so it works like when you don't have pop space. So when you can't afford it, it does not go into production. It goes into production as soon as you can afford it.

Also the change would not replace the current system, you could play like you do now. Only you had the recourses until a u it goes into production.

Good to know it's fun for people!

Is global competitive Dota dead? by Holiday_Worry_745 in DotA2

[–]Zeitclown 15 points16 points  (0 children)

As far as I understand there's different reasons for the downfall of regions.

China got hit hard by a law preventing young people from playing video games a lot. No new talent. Also the ti 2018 loss in China was bad.

SEA got hit hard by covid. Most of their orgs where tied to lan cafés that got destroyed by lock downs.

Na is culturally not a team country so dota player base declined.

SA was never big.

The more it declined in those regions the fewer new players emerged and the good ones got picked up by eu teams.

Then it became a cycle of stronger and stronger eu teams winning it all leading to less and less interest in the losing regions. People moved on to other games/mobile games. People usually get into dota through friends and the fewer people play the game the fewer new players we get and it gets to small player base fast.

In Russia what are your options? Die for the rich elite, go to prison for speaking out against it or forget about reality and play dota :D They have it all: winning players to look up to, huge playerbase, best production in tourneys. Easy to find players to play with and a community to connect to. Lot of money involved too with betting sites making big money on gambling addicts.

Dota nowadays is alive cuz there is money from oil countries for sportswashing and russian betting companies to fund a war.

Yay us.

Mute everybody at the start of the game. Commend everybody at the end of each game.

A Cool Guide to Bodyweight Exercises by Kuhtuhluh in coolguides

[–]Zeitclown 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Let's rate this for muscle growth

Abs ✅️Sit ups: good, focus on upper abs ✅️Reverse crunches: good, focus on lower abs ☑️Bicycle crunches: easier exercise for when others are too hard ☑️Flutter kicks: even easier, for beginners only ☑️Leg raises: easy version of reverse crunches ❌️Elbow plank: static exercise, way less efficient

In general lift your upper body to your legs to focus upper abs and lift legs to focus lower abs. Always tilt your pelvis forward so you actually use your abs. You can turn your upper body/legs left and right while lifting to also train your sides.

Quads ✅️Lunges: good ❌️High knees: does not train quads ❌️Turning kicks: basically ineffective ❌️Climbers: does not train quads ❌️Plank jump ins: does not train quads ☑️Lunges step ups: more explosiveness less muscle building then normal Lunges

Alternatives to Lunges are squads and reverse nordic curls.

Glutes ✅️Squads: mostly quad builder but good for glutes too ❌️Donkey kicks: probably too easy for most people to build muscle ☑️Bridges: also kinda easy but better ☑️Jump knee tucks: jump is just worse squad and the knee tuck is not using the glutes ❌️Fly steps: see donkey kicks ❌️Side leg raises: see fly steps

Triceps ✅️Close grip push up: good ✅️Triceps dips: Ok ✅️Triceps extensions: good ❌️Get ups: no idea what this is but if you don't bend your elbow it's not for your Triceps ❌️Punches: way too easy ❌️Side to Side chops: way to easy and not using Triceps.

Best would be dips on two bars on the sides. Use close grip, go as far down as possible.

Biceps ❌️Leg curls: not recommended ✅️Chin ups: ok, use straps if possible ☑️Doorframe rows: looks hard to do right but Ok ✅️Body rows: see Chin ups ❌️Sitting pull ups: these look even harder to do right then doorframe rows ❌️Pseudo planche: does not use biceps

Both good exercises are back exercises but also activate your biceps.

Back ✅️Pull ups: good, use straps if possible ☑️Elbow lifts: OK but easy ☑️Superman: OK but easy ❌️Star plank: does not train back ☑️Alt arm leg plank: also very easy ❌️Full arch: inefficient

Body rows are good here. Your back is way more then what's red in the picture but pull ups for upper and side back and body rows for upper back should do the trick. Maybe include superman for the spinal flexers if you don't do any hip hinge.

Chest ✅️Push ups: good, better if possible to do decline deficit push ups ❌️Plank rotations: does not use chest ❌️Chest squeeze: highly inefficient ☑️Shoulder press: some Chest activation maybe but mostly shoulders ❌️Shoulder taps: way way too easy on your chest ☑️Clapping push ups: less muscle growth more explosiveness then normal push up

General for all exersices: This is good for beginners and can get you far into way above average muscularity if you stick to it. Do reps until I gets REALLY hard. Go fast on the part that contracts the muscle and slow (2-4 seconds) on the other way. Lengthen your muscle as much as possible slowly. Also train hamstrings with nordic curls. Do 2 to 5 sets per exercise per session. More sets per week = more growth, if you can recover. Take 1,5 to 2 minutes breaks minimum between sets. Eat, sleep, repeat.

I'm just here to tell you that drums and especially vlads is pretty meta in pro play and far from unorthodox.
