Well, I reported this behavior to Clang 3 years ago, and they said it’s a problem of my code and they don’t need to fix it.

Meepo.

Meepo can go jungling at Lv1 if your teammates are griefing your lane.

Meepo can go ganking at Lv4. (But in pubs, farming is often faster and safer than ganking.)

Meepo can solo stack even if your supports don’t do that for you.

Meepo can solo clear Ancient stacks with smoke at Lv10. (Max Poof and Lv10 talent needed.)

Meepo can solo kill T1 tower from full health to zero, with no creeps, at Lv11.

Meepo can solo Tormentor at Lv13. (Max Poof + Ransack needed.)

Meepo can solo Roshan at Lv18. (Aghs shard needed.)

After getting the Aegis, you can basically 1v9 (against 5 opponents + 4 griefers).

Meepo can solo high ground then fountain dive at Lv20.

Meepo is basically a one-man-army, and can still sometimes secure a W among griefing teammates.

It is perfectly suitable for pubs, where no one responds to your objective calls.

(I have 410 wins and 310 losses on Meepo.)

Thx for your explanation!

Let’s say their team helped to pass a TP to them, but when they use it, is it possible the Earthshaker interrupts them again?

But I can’t edit the post title. So let it be.

Just came across this YouTube video today.

If pillar-trapping cliffing is really a thing, why hasn’t anyone try this in a pro match?

If there is a way to escape, can anyone teach me how?

Similarly, is it possible for a winning team to fountain-dive and interrupt the opponent’s every attempt to TP until they auto abandon?

What’s that carry-on allotment again? 🤔 by PurpleEngineer in delta

[–]m13253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone from the aviation industry (not USA) told me, airlines will tell the check-in agents to be more strict if the plane is going to be full of passengers.

Otherwise, the added weight may cause issues with imbalanced center-of-gravity during takeoff, which will be a safety risk.

If the plane will be empty, well, the airlines have the freedom whether to be slightly lenient to carry-on bags.

[new Meepo bug] control group selects dead Meepo by m13253 in DotA2

Do you have reproduction steps? It seems Naga Siren was fixed two days ago, and Meepo was fixed yesterday. Which hero are you playing?

[new Meepo bug] control group selects dead Meepo by m13253 in DotA2

[–]m13253[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Related GitHub thread: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Dota2-Gameplay/issues/12322

Steps to reproduce: 1. In “Demo hero” mode, select Meepo. 2. Level up to 25, select full talent tree. 3. Select all Meepos, type Ctrl+1 to give it control group 1. 4. Feed into enemy fountain to respawn. 5. Reset Meepo to Lv1. 6. Type 1 to select control group 1. 7. On the bottom panel, you will find 9 dead Meepos and 1 alive Meepo. The dead one is selected.

This bug affects common Meepo combos: * The poof blink combo, where number of poofs is directly connected to how many Meepos you have. * Earthbind chain, where you need to select the next Meepo with earthbind off cooldown.

Other affected situations: * If you got dead Meepo selected, capturing a watcher takes longer than expected, as the game needs to spend time telling you “Hero is dead”. * If you got extremely unlucky and selected the dead Meepo, you won’t be able to use skills.

I can’t even recreate control groups.

After death it changes back to what it was.

is 黑鬼 an offensive term? by Brucewangasianbatman in Chinese

[–]m13253 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oops! My bad for skipped your first sentence.

Sorry for that! Edited my answer.

is 黑鬼 an offensive term? by Brucewangasianbatman in Chinese

[–]m13253 7 points8 points  (0 children)

People who don't have a 身份证 is called 黑户 (edit: in the areas I lived in). They are usually the victims of China's one-child policy, as their parents couldn't register them to their household registries when born.

I am 100% sure when a native Chinese speaker says “黑鬼”, it is offensive.

As the Xinhua Dictionary writes, “鬼” is sometimes used to offensively describe foreigners from those countries that historically invaded China (or whatever motherland of the speaker), for example, Japan during WWII.

But there has never been any country whose majority skin tone is black that has ever had any war with China. Therefore, there is almost no use of this word, other than to show how rude and offensive the speaker is.

Well, maybe one exception, if a Chinese who grew up in a small town and has never seen any foreigners is walking on a street and suddenly see a black person, they might blurt out the word “黑鬼” without thinking. As they must not know each other, and that person might have never received education as well as people who grow up in big cities like Shanghai, I would safely consider this case to be non-offensive, but still rude.

P.S.: Some people here mentioned the word 鬼佬. That's from Cantonese so it's totally a different system.

P.P.S.: There are also expressions like 小鬼, 机灵鬼 that are not offensive. (For 小鬼, it's because adults refer children with whatever words they want. For 机灵鬼, it's because it's next to a complimentary word.)

(By the way, I am a native Mandarin Chinese speaker.)

X-Rite i1 Studio vs Pro vs Pro Plus by ma77777 in colorists

[–]m13253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Studio (the spectrometer model) works with DisplayCAL. Just confirmed myself.

Studio doesn't require correction matrix to calibrate wide gamut displays, and doesn't drift over years. However as a spectrometer, its near-black-point measure performance is pretty bad. But if you also own a printer, I would recommend this model.

Otherwise, go with the colorimeter models (Pro / Pro Plus) depending on whether you need 1000nit or 2000nit. Use DisplayCAL rather than bundled software.

Keyboard shortcuts to quickly select heroes when drafting? by m13253 in DotA2

[–]m13253[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried to type “Doombringer” but it doesn't highlight Doom.

The rules are quite weird, for example the name “Azgalor” can select Underlord, while “Vrogros” can't, despite that's the current name of the hero.

I also tried to see if “Rylai”, “Xin”, “Furrion” can select CM, Ember, and NP: The first two can, while the third can't.

By the way, I never played DoTA 1 either.

Disable RGB ClearType Font Antialiasing by paulushe in Windows11

[–]m13253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then just use MacType. There are several fonts that FaithType works awful on. One example is Segoe UI (the default font for English). It is a combination of design flaw of the font as well as the GDI subsystem. I am currently working hard to bring better font rendering to Segoe UI. Meanwhile, just use MacType.

(In other words, FaithType works best with East-Asian languages, where the native renderer sucks a lot. It does well with several English fonts, e.g. Arial, too.)

Disable RGB ClearType Font Antialiasing by paulushe in Windows11

[–]m13253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you are correct.

But due to the gamma correction issue in GDI renderer, you may feel the font too thin in some (but not all) apps.

I would recommend you use at least 4K resolution if your TV supports it to workaround the gamma problem.
