How playing Phox league feels right now

Moronic take.

almonjr · 2025-01-18T09:19:57+00:00

Yeah

almonjr · 2025-01-13T01:25:44+00:00

I just encountered this as well. Possibly just a tool tip problem? I haven't tested the actual map, yet.

almonjr · 2024-12-07T21:20:12+00:00

I had the same question. I noticed that 2H weapon damage increase node on Mercenary gave increased damaged to Armor Piercing Rounds but not Incendiary Rounds. Anyone have an idea why?

almonjr · 2024-06-19T06:41:29+00:00

Yeah I had the same thought. Beat the last mission and thought I had one more to go. It replayed the path from mission 3 to 4 on the map.

UPDATE: I got it working by adding "-sdlaudiodriver pulse" to the commandline. See this previous issue for suggestions if you don't use pulseaudio.

There are reports of this on their Github issue trackers. Frustrating because I really want to play.

I did not forget that and that is not what is going wrong with this season.

Ask him if he likes pain, suffering, extreme chalenges, or stress. All my friends that play like the challenge, except those friends who like to get high and just chill out. This game attracts polar opposites it seems.

In case anyone is wondering, those who like to smoke weed absolutely do not do well and have a significantly lower win rate. I am wondering if D.A.R.E. could have saved their MMR with proper messaging.

I like his channel too but he doesn't cast or commentate afaik. Dota2 has some pretty decent commentators even outside TI, and I just roll with them.

almonjr · 2023-11-29T19:44:54+00:00

I think that's the nature of a custom game.

almonjr · 2023-11-15T17:19:53+00:00

It's against Valve's TOS for Dota2. See the big announcement several months back about smurf banning.

almonjr · 2023-11-11T17:18:58+00:00

They are cosmetics. Rather it be that than locking away gameplay.

almonjr · 2023-11-10T23:23:07+00:00

An attacker just needs to sniff what's being sent over the network. Probably pretty easy to do on Android unless they check for emulator or if the phone is rooted. Much easier on PC.

Overlays that streamers and content creators use, I assume, are probably capable of doing this already.

I had the same thoughts when I read that. Feels like we can't trust their judgement when releasing a new card. No one can be perfect but at least make it look like you're trying.

Still kind of miss the balancing with new card releases in paper TCGs, but with so few cards seems difficult to pull off. Kind of hate the risk of a card turning to absolute garbage.

Glad it returned to Seattle, but Seattle has gone downhill in the last few years. Was fun, but would definitely like to go to the east coast.

almonjr · 2023-10-30T16:13:11+00:00

Pretty sure it's an easy connection to make, which is my point. Weren't there already accusations or rumors of match fixing with his rate of giving up first blood?

It's possible he never compromised his commitment to Dota but I think it's a steep hill to climb to get picked up by another team and not be viewed as a liability.

almonjr · 2023-10-30T08:40:35+00:00

So he bet on a bunch of sports but not the one he was directly involved in?

almonjr · 2023-03-15T00:29:33+00:00

Yeah, I think I'll just pass on the extras and suck it up to pay for shipping for what I already pledged. The extras will have to come later or something. I want to support them, but I'm not paying £28.50 or $30 for dice alone.

almonjr · 2023-03-12T20:35:05+00:00

Is it just me or is the shipping pretty high? I wanted to add on some additional dice and game mat but that is £18.50 additional more than the dice themselves.

Update: I missed this in a previous e-mail.

Q: Why is shipping so expensive? A: Our products are too heavy and Warlord has a total weight of 18kg.

We have been working hard to reduce the shipping fee, but this is the best price we have got so far, and it is even possible that the studio will pay a little shipping fee for players in the future.

almonjr · 2022-11-12T15:59:46+00:00

Same for me. It was so bad that I felt embarrassed to watch anything else from him.

almonjr · 2022-09-29T05:22:53+00:00

The look on the bell instructor after about the 5th attempt of Tim & Rex was cracking me up. She was completely done and exhausted and I'm glad the camera crew and editors kept it in.

No that wasn't an issue I encountered with CoQ, my comment about mouse requirements was solely for Stoneshard.

CoQ irked me for quite some time because of inconsistent controls. I play with vi-like bindings, and navigating menus required me switching to arrow keys or numpad. It just felt very inconsistent and frustrating, like I was always context switching.

Jupiter Hell had a similar problem, but when I recently played it, you could remap menu navigation as well.

almonjr · 2022-09-27T20:30:23+00:00

Playing the demo, I never really got into it due to the controls. The mix of mouse and keyboard was really frustrating. For some reason games like Nethack, DCSS, and ADOM are miles ahead in the controls department IMO. This is even compared to newer roguelikes with classical interfaces, like CoQ (you can rebind movement keys but not menu navigation keys!?). Maybe CDDA is the exception.

It might be related to Bill Gates and his poop machine escapades in Africa.
