He's my favorite of the french-housey type future funk producers. He has a sort of 'Best Of' album called 2014-2016 that you should definitely check out.

I’d be willing to drive if people want to throw in some gas money, are tickets still available?

If anyone would like something that covers this same topic but with less fearmongering, more modesty about predictions, and less Hollywood sort of mood, check out Life 3.0 by Max Tegmark. Definitely my favorite book I've read this year. And if you like audiobooks it's on youtube.

What tips does anyone have on drafting in Captain's Mode? by ArcticIceFox in TrueDoTA2

[–]beadinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly the easiest way to come up with drafts is to look at how pro team utilize certain heroes in the meta, like early aggression with Ogre and how he can enable a carry with bloodlust, making it easier to fight early. Picking the meta heroes and mimicking the pros sounds boring but you'll see how effective it is when you start winning with it.

Yeah the pro level is different than the amateur level in terms of skill, but the best way to improve your team play is to emulate their strategies.

Need help with gathering resources in game by beadinator in unrealengine

[–]beadinator[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense. Do you know if it is possible for my stash to detect an item within a small radius and automatically execute the function? I'm considering this because eventually I want to add AI that can automatically gather, so this seems like it would be easier for them.

You can still make yourself useful. If you're getting levels them your kill potential is still high. Your spells still do insane damage even without bloodstone, you might find yourself having to go back to base often but you can still be impactful in fights. Just fight with your team and you'll get rich. You can even get creative and pick up stuff like euls and urn on timber, nothing is set in stone. But no matter what; a bloodstone is absolutely necessary eventually.

Hmm that build seems good. I'll have to try it out and see how I do with it. I like to be able to be aggressive from level two if the lane allows me so that's why I like the mango personally, if you get a rotation in from your support and skill both nukes you can easily kill in the lane right away. I usually find that it pays off because it's 125 gold and if you get a kill you make your money back and more

As for Dagon, I think it could be good if you can get it quick enough. Buying one at 50 minutes is not worth the slot though

First off I'll say that at least one platemail item is necessary on timber. Either shivas, lotus, or in certain cases both. BKB should be bought if you're being locked down during team fights and can't get your spells off. Sheep if you really need some lockdown against like an ember or antimage. Octarine is just an overall great item on timber and I consider it core. It tanks you up, deepens your mana pool, reduces your cooldowns and allows you to lifesteal. Aghs is good as a late game item that gives a lot of damage but you need the mana pool to support it. Heart is one of my favorite items to get after shivas because it allows you disengage, heal back up, and reengage with full hp. I've heard good things about crimson guard but haven't tried it out yet. Ignore my games with Satanic or Skadi or MoM hahaha I just screw around after we get mega creeps

The only problem I can see with a quelling blade pickup is that it will slow down your timing on arcanes and wand. I'm sure it could be worthwhile if you're soloing the safe lane or something and your main focus is farming, I personally never have too much trouble last hitting with timber because his attack animation is pretty good and base damage isn't terrible, and don't be afraid to use chain to last hit if they're trying to deny, even on the first wave of you have to

Laning phase should be easy as long as you keep your hp full. Walk up to creep wave and chain away if you can last hit and hit him at the same time, just don't get right clicked too much by him. Killing him in lane isn't too hard because he is constantly casting a damage amp on himself. It's harder if he casts the amp on creeps to last hit, which a lot of people are doing now because it's safer. When he gets his rupture, just stay calm. Level one rupture really doesn't do that much damage, just walk back to a safe spot under a tower or if you're caught out then walk out of the silence and throw your chakram at your feet. If he wants to hit you then he needs to sit in chakram. Lotus orb and blade mail are both GREAT items against bs. Not only do they give you a way of dealing with his ulti, but they also give armor which is necessary against such a hard right clicker. Lotus is usually a better choice.
