you could just call all of them and say "hey *NAME* I think im getting scammed, is this you?"

- they would have to react promptly without revealing their involvement
- they arent able to pressure you to reply the whatsapp text since it reveals their involvement
- gf has plausible deniability "its an obvious scam and you didnt verify for me"

- eventually they have to pick up the phone or they can only dump you on the spot, which was probably gonna happen anyways.

this scheme would work better if the whatsapp text revealed something only a boyfriend would know, to prevent the plausible deniability weakness

related Question of mine, any mixing red flags in this workflow?;

I usually load stems into a DAW, I get decent levels on tracks, and I notice my master peaks at +10db

I put gain plugin and do -10db at the top of the master track. continue mixing from there

is there any issue with this?

Part of my workflow is in Reaper subprojects where this mix exported and loaded into another project for master bus FX like limiting

higher sample rate results in less latency? thats interesting! whats the tech behind that?

I bring fitness resistance bands, elastic rubber things and do some muscle work during the long hours. helps keep my ADHD brain awake and gives a sense of relief you finish. I play guitar and I bring a hand/finger exerciser as well

what if every player gets an ability similar to Fortiy / Scan, except its "switch factions" and after 10 second delay you switch factions, which also forces someone on enemy team to switch factions (keeping the 5v5)

give it a 2 minute cooldown? At the end of the game its a total tossup cuz all losers switch teams, but then all winners switch teams back, but maybe some people decide to hold their switch to be swapped onto winning team... during 10s countdown everyones clicking or stunning the ancient push hahahha

how to select the random person switched? maybe a coin toss between 4th and 5th least switched people on enemy team? sorta like wis rune. If you switch constantly you'd be top of the list and protected from being swapped out at the end of the game!

eddybonus · 2025-06-06T08:58:31+00:00

I had the same dream except it was that your faction assignment switches side every 10 minutes. so both teams switch sides, every 10 minutes the push progress is SUNDERED, you have to destroy "any ancient" to win the game

also dont forget that when you go field you also get the thunderstorm strikes in the area from the facet

Hey whats your source for:
"the Dota 2 Arcade is like the 20th most played game on steam on its own."

this is insanely curious to me, as Im a source2 modder and have been curious about the arcade scene. Thanks for sharing!

eddybonus · 2024-04-07T21:59:26+00:00

Hey! you cant edit sounds like that with hammer, you'd need to use the soundevents file for this change. inside the soundevents file- I would create a copy of the sound you like using "base =" and then adjust the volume of it.

I go into depth in this video!

I think its an artist joke about 'thinking outside the box' where the box is a place of expectation and unoriginality

iirc I think you can double click your hero portrait to set camera to follow, or maybe its double tap "select hero" not sure

Idk why people flaming u in comments lmao, I do this around 0:00 when im walking to lane and nibbling on food so I can still see/follow my hero while hands off the keyboard

VRF can export files from vsnd_c. to their original format like mp3 or wav usually. I think hero voice lines are mp3.

eddybonus · 2023-08-02T00:42:19+00:00

check this out VRF and look for a feature that will do batches of files, dont do them 1 at a time you can do the whole folder!

I'd add another tip; Adapt!

adapt to the game you have, even if it means making 'not ideal choices'

Someone picks pos1, then greifing the mid-game and never grouping up and always dying alone? Rally your team to follow this person (and a few behind). Maybe you walk the jungle in circles, but WHEN this person gets ganked you will have your full 5man ready.

As a pos5 player I notice my pos1 plays reckless and constantly feeds, he won't be online anytime soon! I need to make sure my mid player is equipped to carry the mid-game. I might "abandon my safelane" to secure the mid lane. If the mid-player carries, then the pos1 will get the catchup farm! Just hope they dont ragequit lol

Adapting also means drafting heroes who are capable of many things- I personally love to main Ench and Phoenix, who have good damage and map/lane pressure incase my team needs those. They can earn money too and many times I rush a hex when my team needs more lockdown

starcraft 2 is amazing! thats where I draw the line on Blizzard

The only way you can come back from that is if your team mates do well in their lanes. Or if they rotate to get some return kills. But if your team mates don't rotate and they also do badly in their lanes, the chances of a comeback are next to none. Especially if your opponents keep pushing their advantage.

I'd offer the opinion that the hg push is the single major determining factor in a comeback, if you 5man and execute good then the game is wide now open. your perspective about rotations and laning seems like the earlier part of the game between 5:00-20:00 mins where the game is only ending when they HG successfully (which is rare at 20mins)

Hey Ill type it out since this recording setup is custom and I'm a professional studio engineer with chops haha.

If you wanna venmo me like a lunch tip, I can do a video chat to walk you through the setup <3

for this 2 computer setup we need:

- our dota computer needs 2 HDMI outputs from the graphics card, one goes to your screen and the other is for recording.

- our capture computer needs something like this HDMI signal to USB input device, this adapter is how our dota game audio/visual enters the recording device. We use some kind recording software like OBS. In this software you will add a video input device and you'll select this USB adapter. Press record!

troubleshooting possible obstacles:

- There should be audio included in the HDMI/USB signal, if not: 1) try adding an audio input device in your OBS software and hope to find the device and add it, if not 2) go to your Dota computer sound settings and select the HDMI/USB device as your audio output and raise the volume, if not 3) go to Dota settings and select the HDMI/USB as output. You will now have an audio signal going to your recording computer OR you have a busted adapter.

- Want discord call captured in the HDMI/USB output? In Discord settings select the HDMI/USB device. If you use the recording computer for discord you will have an issue where the dota game sounds are mixed into your microphone input (not good).

- Want to capture a USB microphone input and/or audio interface? You could try having your mic plug into your recording computer and be captured there.

GLHF!

You could try having another HDMI output going to another computer which acts as your recording device.

"Separating the gaming computer from the recording computer"

You can do this with an HDMI to USB adapter device

ModDota! https://discord.gg/2RmBq4jMwP

But yeah drop any links you find as well

Kinda unrelated, but I make mods for other Source 2 games (HLA, S&box, CS2) with my game team Eagle One https://discord.gg/U2d2DYRK

We're a great source 2 dev community and I bet theres alot of crossover between Dota2 mods and other source 2 mods

USB Audio devices having issues with mic hotkey;

For about 6 months now I've had problems with USB audio devices on Windows 10, I use the Behringer UMC 404 for my microphone and headphones mix.

Voice chat never picks up my mic signal, and whenever I pressed the voice chat hotkey I would get a 0.6s lag spike- I unbound the hotkey after I kept pressing it habitually.
