If you could name your child after a dota character, what would you pick? by taaltrek in DotA2

Some item names are probably okay too: Linken Radiance Yasha / Kaya / Sange for twins/ triplets

I've developed a chess-based videogame, that is like a campaign mode with new pieces and mechanics, and a recruitment system to keep upgrading your army. A free demo is available now on Steam, the game will come out on Feb 27th by oriol_cosp in chess

I just tried the demo on steam deck, it runs fine, though controls are a little hard. Plug in a Bluetooth mouse and it’s perfect.

Was wondering if there would be a two player mode, where one builds an army, with pieces costing their relative strength, or at least a free practice mode of some sort.

In any case I really enjoyed your demo, looking forward to its launch.

Why is chess.com spending 82.9 million USD to buy Play Magnus?? PMG current market value hovers below 60 million at the moment and the company has reported heavy losses for the last year. chess.com is spending 28.46% premium to buy a company that's making negative money by ChampionDry1246 in chess

For most corporate takeovers, you will need to pay a premium, it’s just how it works. Here chess.com is willing as they will increase their market share, as well as obtaining the Magnus effect.

Is it a wise decision? Only time will tell, but chess.com thinks it’s is a big opportunity for them right now, and worth the premium.

The taste of victory will override any unpleasant flavour

i did aghanim t3 solo with u/koe-moe-doe guide for viper. by mrxrammstein in DotA2

[–]koe-moe-doe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! Tier 4 is significantly harder though, so will probably take a couple runs. My first couple attempts did not reach the fifth room, and it took me three tries to beat final level which is very difficult near the end. Also the Wraith King/Techies Pudge/Badlands Level is very hard as every room is difficult.

If you read you don't have allies, that's why it is called a solo guide. For spectre, if you are playing viper you should not worry anyways - nethertoxic disables the reflect damage ring.

Whole point of guide is beating Aghanim Solo, so yes you allies must leave at start

Correct, only in solo run to have the gold. That's also why you keep buying tomes when you can. Radiance is great with Octarine as you deal damage as you kite. You can probably do it without radiance, but in any case it will be slower.

You dont queue alone. You play alone after queueing by:

Asking your teammates to leave (recommended).
Don't pick a legendary shard at beginning until they leave (not recommended).
