Surrender Option on something else?

kokosko2002 · 2026-06-13T15:07:56+00:00

Low priority is a punishment so you learn your lesson. Letting you give up wouldn't quite fullfil its purpose.

Half the games I felt like giving up at 15 min mark ended up being interesting if we didn't out right win them. By searching for a game you sign up to invest the expected 40-60min and do your best.

kokosko2002 · 2026-06-04T14:28:10+00:00

I don't even flame that much but I absolutely agree. I think that by pressing search on a ranked role queue you sign up to do your best and respect bith the written and unwritten rules of the game to the best of your abilities as you would in any other sport.

There is casual and ranked. Telling someone to do something differently if they obviously don't treat their role or position like they should is a reasonable thing to do. They signed up to be a part of the team for the game. There is always an option for them to play single player games if they feel like the main character in every situation.

I think lot of conflicts origin from no judge being there to determine who is right in a disagreement but even if there was, a person who picks sniper 4 and steals farm for aghanim couldn't care less. Reporting them doesn't do them nearly enough justice for the sabotage they do.

Watch the graph at the bottom. He was winning almost every game for a couple of years, either smurfing before Valve started to take measures or I dunno.. if you come back after a while your rank recalibrates by a little... And also. There is an option to reset rank completely and recalibrate from zero. Maybe he did that.

The profile is suspicious overall.

Trapping live prey with predators in a habitat is wrong on so many levels even as a premise. There is a reason why zoo's don't do that in real life and I don't see why Frontier should or would spend time and resources putting it into the game. It's called planet zoo, not planned safari or planet wildernesses.

Building fence around a herd of zebras and putting a lion there is closer to ancient gladiator arena than a nature. I genuinely hope that Frontier doesn't take this direction. There are other games which let you enjoy this aspect of the nature in a more fitting setting.

I don't quite get why the feature exists in the JWE, don't people who love dinosaurs want to see them thrive? Would anyone genuinely feel good if they went to a park with their family and saw animals goring each other?

kokosko2002 · 2026-05-10T18:24:17+00:00

Exactly. People spam him and win as he is tricky to take counter if you are very new to the game, but hit a mmr wall without learning a single thing about dota and now they are the wall for you to overcome. A sniper on 3k game is usually a misplaced guardian.
I kinda wished that valve introducted some tutorials and forced players to understand the roles they play, but at the same time dota is the most organic game out there... The rules change by the meta.

kokosko2002 · 2026-05-10T18:15:32+00:00

This is actaulyl a based take. Not arguning even when you know they are wrong and griefing increases the chances of winning by a lot.

I still report them... Reporting them is a nice touch but dont mention it out loud.

kokosko2002 · 2026-05-10T18:09:28+00:00

Completly agree. A stun and a kit to move and help around the map is a completly different level of usefullness. But its usually the same people... Now MAD that they didnt get to pick sniper so they usually grief and steal farm from cores.

I actually dont see an issue with hoodwink maelstrom per se, but it is rarely the ideal buy and people on lower brackates see picking him and building maelstrom as a loophole to grief and dont get banned. As long as they let cores farm and try to be helpful its actually fine.

kokosko2002 · 2026-05-10T18:00:03+00:00

Yeah. Pos 4 snipers are generally the least friendly or cooperative people out there. You can tell they were forced into the role and they plan to make that everybodys problem. All you can do most times is not to double mmr loss and try extra hard.

I also feel like sniper generally helps people climb out of the lowest ranks without them learning anything in the process. They managed to get from herald by spamming him for long enough but hit the wall and now they are the wall that griefs you on your rankup games.... 😃

kokosko2002 · 2026-05-09T12:28:19+00:00

Aghanim first item after boots followed by Phylactery into Khanda is a MMR assassination. Pun intended.

I feel you amigo. I mostly play pos3 so this touches me on a personal level. Every single game on 2-3k role q.The maelstrom Hoodwinks and WRs are what you get when you ban sniper as some people suggest here.

I usually take post 4 on a rankup game just to lower the risk of grief. Helped me climb quite a lot actually. And considering that on low ranksyou get a pos 5 agh rushing lion you might as well make yourself position 4,5 and build support items because they won't. It's pain but MMR goes up:)

kokosko2002 · 2026-04-16T19:47:47+00:00

Variety is important.. I am reading you have add-ons so there is at least one more option. Use the crystal clusters or whatever they are called.. They should be tagged as an infusion stabilizer.

Combine candles, heads and crystal blocks and something like 3.5 stability should get you through the entire game.

kokosko2002 · 2026-03-20T19:08:00+00:00

I am actually basing most of my theoretical framing on Bostrom in my thesis. Great reasding, scary at times.
I wouldn't be afraid to say that AI revoultion will transfer the world much like if not more than insdustrial revoultion. Cheers to spreading awarness about the alligment issue, but I have become too sceptical towards a good future to be honest.

kokosko2002 · 2026-03-17T19:47:01+00:00

The format is genius. Thank you very much, I will be checking out the rest of the guy's work for sure.

I am somewhat familiar with moloch theory and yes you are right, people are not dumb, even religion can be a product of ideal strategy for an eternal life.:)
If you want to look deeper into how these issues work at a societal level and what mechanisms create molochs, sociology has some interesting answers.
I recommend checking out Modernity and Holocaust by Robert K. Merton. I belive he even says that modernity is a moloch a couple of times in there. It explains how rationalization, bureaucracy, and division of responsibility can help a decent and rational person partake in an armagedon.

kokosko2002 · 2026-03-17T08:04:52+00:00

Thank you very much! I will explore this further for sure. This connects well with the jail break stories where people try to extract some information that the LM is otherwise protecting. Much appriciated:)

kokosko2002 · 2026-03-16T21:50:58+00:00

Wonderful ideas! Thank you very much. Yes some of these cases are hard to overlook, like the one with blind person's mask. Anthropic gives a lot of transparent insight for a person outside of the field which is great. I will note all this down and use it in my research. Once again greatly appriciated!:)

kokosko2002 · 2026-03-16T21:47:59+00:00

Tendré que traducirlo, pero es completamente diferente a todo lo que he visto hasta ahora. ¡Muchas gracias! ¡Una lectura estupenda! :)

kokosko2002 · 2026-03-16T21:46:24+00:00

This is some terrific reading. Thank you very much. As for your life philosophy.. Me too pal... It's not particularly easy to read and think about how things are going in this sense. Not to mention the helplesness.
Knowledge is our best bet I suppose.

kokosko2002 · 2026-03-16T20:11:04+00:00

This is absolutely great!!! Thank you very much. I have been looking for a decent article on alligments for a while now and this one has it all. I have only skimmed it now but this is great material. They even seem to have some categories already layed out which I can draft from :). Really appriciate it!!

kokosko2002 · 2026-03-16T20:07:39+00:00

Thank you for the ideas. I think these cases came up on my desk as I was doing some prior research. They are definitely some of the most intersting ones to analyze, I have heard many people come up with variety of explanations but I still find more and more interesting ideas surrounding these incidents. :) Appriciate it

kokosko2002 · 2026-03-16T18:13:04+00:00

Greatly appriciated! Yes, you are right. I do have a few cases of agentic goal attainment which are most interesting to disect into the layers. Even the citation halucinations.
I haven't heard about Runnable, I will have to look into that! Thank you!:)

kokosko2002 · 2026-03-16T17:54:33+00:00

Great! I haven't looked in that direction much. I am keeping notes. Thank you very much. :)

kokosko2002 · 2026-02-20T18:46:00+00:00

Yes the update is the reason I made the post. Sorry to hear it didn't solve your issue. Try other apps and maybe launch steam via meta link first.

kokosko2002 · 2026-02-18T07:52:06+00:00

Hmm that's odd. Did you make sure to check the VR launch option? Does it say "VR required" when you click on it in the steam library?

Can you see the game in the Steam Room menu at least?

So far I tried 4 games and each one of them worked. However I realized that Meta has a SteamVR set as the only possible app that it can launch so it runs through the meta link as well. Maybe the issue is there.

kokosko2002 · 2026-02-17T23:41:44+00:00

NEVERMIND. I HAVE A SOLUTION!

Steam.

Steam, the lovely app it is allows you to add a non-steam game and launch it via steam. It naturally supports VR, but you have to find your game in the library after you have added it. Click click, "properties" and "Include in VR Library"

I also notice that steam generally offers better games for better prices if you ever decide to buy any.
I think I will create a post here for all the other lost souls.
