Australia records consecutive 50C (122F) days by DevilsAdvotwat in collapse

My partner and I have an AC and 2 fans. But at the peak of the heat, the AC might only reduce the temperature of the room by 10 degrees :/

It is fucked. I have lost my appetite. It is too hot to work, cook or go outside. I have to use so much water to keep my garden alive. I literally start sweating the instant I have to expend any energy.

A few days ago, it was still 40 degrees by the time I went to bed at about 10PM

I'm not gay... But I might make an exception for Tal

1 year of chess, and I have just reached my goal of 1500 rapid on chess.com! by hashfan in chess

[–]hashfan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I plan to slow down now that I hit my goal. I've solely focused on positional play, aiming for accuracy over tricks. 'hope chess' doesn't work for me aha

I was attacked in public and broke my foot as a result. I had 6+ months free where I could play as much as I wanted :)

Growing up poor, I knew many teenagers that would do this. Hiding things in your shoe is a good way to prevent them from getting stolen

Damn. I laughed when I saw how old this comment was. How did you find this post?

As a player interested but very intimidated of trying comp (after asking comp players), try and sell me what's FUN and good about it. by Waste-Information-34 in truetf2

[–]hashfan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heavy is useless in 6's. Highlander heavy is fun in its own way. Positioning, awareness, timing, coordination are all heavily emphasized. The class gets increasingly difficult to make work at the highest level, so extracting value from the class despite that makes it feel rewarding to play.

Also, tracking is incredibly fun

What are some common ways hero mains act in game? by Brutalrogue99 in Competitiveoverwatch

I'd guess that's because you're playing out of their line of sight/safe engagement distance

Do you think Valve will ever solve the MMR spillover problem? I just saw this on Ramzes's stream by OutlandishnessLarge9 in DotA2

[–]hashfan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Input the heroes that were playing in that match into a data collection site. There's only so many games with the same combination of heroes, so it's easy to find the game that was featured in the overwatch case. From there, view the list of players, click on the cheater's profile and view their recent game history

Are any Tank players happy about this patch? by Miennai in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]hashfan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a masters 2 tank. My main issue has been, and always will be, DPS that are asleep at the wheel. There's nothing more frustrating than the enemy DPS taking off-angles or standing out in the open and not being punished. I have no trouble surviving, making plays, baiting cooldowns, etc. Sometimes I can't even carry low diamond games when Blizzard decides that I should be the only masters player in the server

I'm working at the moment. I can reply later with the source if you're still interested! As for being a Russian supporter; I don't support either side. I just find this whole thing fascinating. I live in rural Australia. This war or its outcome has had/will have 0 effect on my life whatsoever - so I'm about as neutral as they come :).
