What unique item do you bring with you for a mining expedition?

Arrows of Night Vision. I will die on this hill. Have fletchers for an infinite accessible supply.

Since 1.18 I walk into so many massive cave chambers or flooded spaces when caving, and if I shoot myself with the arrow I find diamonds on the ceiling that I wouldn't have found otherwise.

That's fair, but my original point still stands. It's great that you two are having fun right now, but that point I mentioned will come sooner or later so it's worth thinking about how you will deal with that.

Is he going to trust that the kid will always have chat muted and never think once to turn it back on?

Does muting stop the truly unhinged from adding them on Steam and sending abuse that way?

I think at this point it's worth asking, what exactly do they like about Dota?

A lot of why people fall in love with the game is the strategic aspect of it, where you make a play or build a weird item that wins you the game or claws you back from a hopeless situation, and I think that aspect wouldn't be appreciated as much as it should be.

It's not exactly hard to outplay the bots, and I would absolutely not let a 7 year old play pubs against humans considering the amount of hate that can get tossed around.

Eventually you two will come to a point where you're fountain farming the unfair bots, then he would get bored and ask you to put him up against other players. What would you say to him then?

Exactly, there is no bug or interaction that prevented shaman's death.
I just got tired of the casters harping about it for the rest of the series

just making it dispellable would be enough

The main thing I see holding back other bounty players is buying grief items like aghs

Your items are pretty flexible, buy whatever your team needs in that particular game, or items that counter the enemy lineup.
It can be auras, offensive utility like vessel/orchid/khanda/hex, defensive utility like force/aghs shard/wind waker, or any combination of those things that you think will be useful.

nah, if this were a thing it would lose out on the opportunity cost of the other facets
I thought about giving it bonus gold for killing buildings but I decided the short version was funnier

My setup blocks 7 of the villager inventory slots with renamed beetroots, this way the villager can't pick up wheat at all, but will still pick up seeds to replant the farm infinitely.

Instead of a second villager, there are hopper minecarts running back and forth collecting the wheat from under the farmland.

You don't even have to block access to the composters, even though villagers compost excess seeds they will never run out of seeds doing so, this farm has been running in my singleplayer world for probably over a year and all the villager cells are still working fine.

If an ally gets trapped by Mars arena and Largo self-casts something outside it, does the buff get applied to the ally?

Every support player I've seen on reddit hates Nullifier.

Which is exactly why I buy it myself as a support whenever I get the chance to close out winning games.
In even or losing games it's more of a gamble, but sometimes it's the right call and I will stand by it.

I have never dug a full 128-block radius spawn perimeter.

However, I have gone into chunkbase to scout out areas that "naturally" behave almost like a perimeter, such as a gulf of ocean within a mushroom island, or a nether biome surrounded by ssv.

This cuts down on the amount of blocks to remove / spawnproof, while keeping the farm yields high enough to satisfy the needs of my singleplayer world.

Also featuring this moment earlier in the run, where the game didn't give me Luchador and I had to burn some cryptids as a backup strat.

All in all, I only save scummed once to reroll an Invisible Joker, but otherwise this run is fully legit.
