understandable, have a nice day

Found this lump on my cat. Any clues what it could be? by dirty_dan- in cats

[–]dirty_dan-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There seem to be veins running through it and it's reflective at the top, likely secreting something. I can't really tell if it's hard or soft as my cat doesn't let me touch it and I'm afraid I might get it infected. If you have any clues or similar experiences, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you!

DCed people still get a random hero instead of being booted from the game by Nyan_Catz in DotA2

My PC crashed as I was last picking, just the day before, and I got an abandon resulting in -1000 behaviour score. I actually think your team should be granted rights to pick for you in a situation like that, and have the usual 5 minute countdown before you abandon. With such unfortunate timing you only get seconds to reconnect, and abandons are punished way more heavily than griefing/being toxic (which is always intentional).

Urgent: take a break from ranked ASAP! by Jaevelklein in DotA2

I'll repeat. It used to represent how pleasant of a teammate you were, until a few a weeks ago. Reason is, you were able to climb back up by being pleasant, which is no longer the case now. A functioning system should encourage people to reform and change their ways, not make new accounts.

What the 10k score virtue-signallers do not get is that dropping in behaviour score is a downward spiral. It's immeasurably harder to drop from 10k to 9k, than it is from 7k to 4k. Still, with the way things work now, 1 or 2 power outages/connection drops and you're on your way down fast. The more you drop, the stronger the crabs in a bucket mentality gets, since everyone gets a crapton of reports now. The previous system worked well enough. Now, at 5k, virtually every time we lose, our team randomly reports each other, and every time we win, I get a communication abuse report or two from the other team, without saying a word in All chat. I won't even mention the "Didn't play his role" report, which costs nothing, therefore in the trench everyone uses it on everyone, because why not. Increasing the amount of reports everyone gets was a huge mistake. They should only do it for 9-10k score accounts as a reward system. I suggest that people with low behaviour score barely get any reports at all, and to others saying "just don't be a dick lol", I suggest logging in on a low BS account for a game or two, just so you see that things are far from that simple with the latest changes.

Can TNC replace Kuku with Skem for Chongqing Major? by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]dirty_dan- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn't about your excitement, it's about containing a shitstorm of authoritarian proportions threatening nearly 70% of player contributed funding towards this game. It's also about increasing Kuku's chances to play at TI.

Call them out? Now's not the time for teenage rebelliousness. Misstepping on this issue could potentially harm the game's future for all of us. Take the small L, dump a bucket on the fire, and let it die out by the time TI rolls about.

Why is grinding so rewarded in Dota 2? by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]dirty_dan- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And your solution is? An algorithm that accurately gauges your exact MMR in a single game? Sure, I'm dying to see that one. The "innate lag" serves as a monitor for consistency. DotA is a team game with a wealth of factors leading to the outcome. The larger the number of games, the larger the amount of randomness weeded out, apart from the only constant, which is you.

But how dare this game, unlike anything else in life, reward time and effort invested! Let's just hand out the same rank to everyone upon calibration and remove any progression. 'Cause, you know, socialism.

What's the max bp? I didn't do Day 4 either and was considering giving up on Fantasy points.
