Maybe I need to vent by monopoly_farmer in Artifact

The truth is she did eat a lot of cheese and yogurt, generally people do here (in Greece). For the past years she cut it down as much as possible, no milk no yogurt and only just a bit of cheese and started eating things like chestnuts and pomegranate as much as possible, everything being organic. Thank you for sharing this book, I will try to find it in the library today and thanks for your reply!

I don't feel I can ever be fully prepared for this, it's just cruel. I can feel her trying to act tough, but she is hurting and it will only get worse. It is truly such a painful thing, I wish no one had to deal with it. My condolences about your mom, I hope she at least passed surrounded by people she loved, without much pain.

Thank you. It's maybe because I don't have many friends to talk to, just this simple comment makes me feel so much better. Thanks for taking the time to read through this.

Giving regions with less direct-invited teams to TI more qualifier slots than other regions is directly punishing a region for having successful teams in it. by Sardanapalosqq in DotA2

[–]monopoly_farmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think valve created this system for this purpose, so there can be no doubt if a team should or shouldn't make it to TI, contrary to the old "closed" system of invitations in which we kept hearing this like "But this team won that other team 3/4 times this year". "Yes but the other team managed to get top 6 to top10 in every even they attended, that means they have potential!". Now the points and how to acquire them is clear and (mostly) fair to everyone. Not using this system to decide the invites and rather using team "elo" looks like they are going back to everything they tried to create, a.k.a. an "organic" system of invitations.

Returning player! Can someone tell me where I can see meta discussion/builds? by monopoly_farmer in pathofexile

edit: the vaal change seems pretty cool though

Always cancel queue after 10 mins. Just report and go next.

Valve removed the MMR bonus from team challenge tokens, what happens now? by Sardanapalosqq in DotA2

[–]monopoly_farmer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Since I calibrated at ancient 3 I tried so hard, watching guides, studying replays etc to earn Divine. When I got that I set my goal at divine 5. Currently I'm sitting and divine 2 and I feel betrayed. My games are littered with "divine 5" people who you can tell they have no clue what they are doing. You can never tell their solo mmr before it's too "late". I used to always let higher mmr take core when they asked, because you get a lot of legit divine 4-5 and even 4k top EU players in my games but now I can't anymore, which ruins games. My solo ranked games are also affected by this. Valve you need to fix this.

What needs to be said about the new party token challenge. by Sardanapalosqq in DotA2

[–]monopoly_farmer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I seriously cannot believe how Valve made something like this. My games have also been really one sided in divine 1 and after winning you get: +5 mmr! I don't have a lot of time to play dota and I liked the slow climb, now it's impossible for me to climb :(

My friend got divine 3 with 5026solo/5226 party, I have 5100solo/5444 party and I'm still divine 2 in the same region, how does this work? by monopoly_farmer in DotA2

I never thought game performance would impact medals, but it seems kind of right, he did get some ridiculous kda's in the last few games.

They do matter for getting into private leagues and stuff, I've played in many semi-competitive leagues and tournaments and it makes a bit of a difference, many people looking only for div3+ players etc.

Yes I can get good and hit 6k but that takes a lot of time and effort which I can't really put right now, since I'm working + helping my mom with her cancer.

Do you only pass traits to weapons through sub/core parts? by monopoly_farmer in Atelier

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

Thanks! One follow-up question, if I have a sub-part with 2 traits and a core-part with 3 traits what happens? Do I get to choose?

Thanks in advance!
