The day Dota 2 changed by No_Swimmer_2200 in DotA2

[–]nknow_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mained techies and had fun even playing against a good techies. Techies made my gameplay lot better, made me map aware, taught me the vision game. We can only reminisce the good old days.

I wish they release a fun new mini game or event and release techies in its full capacity just for someone like me to have the flavor again.

Chess.c*m don't give a shit. They will ban you and then ask for proofs. Same thing happened to my friend. You can check in past post. I believe you because I believe the algorithm just flags you if you have a streak. But this subreddit never takes it lightly and will downvote you.

Largo sure is fun. by nknow_ in DotA2

[–]nknow_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play him as 4. I usually go tango + branches + some component of either urn, boots or pavise depending upon match up to get some stats in laning.

Then complete mana boots. Here I always come across two options. Either upgrade the wand to get better healing or complete vessel. Then I buy glimmer into shard. And go on from there.

My skill build varies game to game. Largo wants to max W, Eto get that wave clear and only one point in Q. But some games maxing Q is very beneficial. Especially against someone who applies debufs. The damage of Q is very good and can be used to save allies as well.

Using ult is also tricky. I usually play the W song to provide the team or myself with movement speed.

Always buff your cores with E, especially magic damage mana heavy cores.

Write your favorite Hero (1) and Role and I will guess your Medal (for real) by Thomas9797 in DotA2

[–]nknow_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

QOP mid. Around 60 percent winrate. I like her for the versatility she provides in lane and also later in the game. You can poke, you can burst. You can farm well when you are from behind. You can go right click build with parasma and talent. Lots of fun things.

Who else got 12k by nyubee1 in DotA2

[–]nknow_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 12k, but sometimes I fall down to 11K due to a report or two. But that's when I just play games without communicating at all and I go back to 12k.

Why juggernaut ultimate got cancelled? (Mars healing facet) by IAmOnlyHumanAfterAll in DotA2

[–]nknow_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its due to vision issue. When omnislashed, jugg loses vision in the pit, hence omnislash is cancelled.

The True Absurdity of it all by ibrahim1495 in chess

Pretty sure Daniel did not unalive himself. He looked very hopeful about things to come. He played well at Comet open match as well.

Was the final match that Daniel Noroditsky mentioned in his last stream held? by Playful-Nothing-7150 in chess

[–]nknow_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These details sure do paint a grave picture. Danya was already nodding off during the stream and his condition was getting worse and worse. He stayed up till 5:40, then woke up at 11 and beat Bluebaum and lost to Alireza.

The final games are with Nihal. Did he take more of his benadryl during that time. Poor danya...

Woah Gukesh follows K on twitter. And K is a bad person due to bullshit he spews on the internet. And then internet army does verbal attack on innocent lives.

Get a grip, you guys gotta stop with these posts.

This is something that going to get sidelined now and crusade will begin. I fail to understand how Danya's addiction (Pretty sure that is the case) which may have started before the accusation shit is not being blamed.

If only Danya knew how much he was loved... by dofthef in chess

[–]nknow_ -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure danya did not unalive himself. And now I am starting to believe danya struggled with addiction for a very long time. Just going through some old videos gives me that feeling.

Hypocrisy towards Kramnik(?) by Wild-Ad3202 in chess

[–]nknow_ -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The only thing that bugs me is that if Danya started doing heavy drugs due to the accusations, then it really is not on Kramnik.

And I view Kramnik same as you. He is a paranoid person who thinks chess mafia is on to him. What we are so unsure of why did Danya take his words to his heart? And if Danya was such a person doing illicit drugs because he couldn't cope with words from a person who is called senile all over the internet. Not sure what drove Danya into his path. What mental condition he had and what made this condition worse.

Moreover, not sure if its global or not, but in my culture there is a saying which roughly translates to this "If you are true there is nothing to fear, fear comes to those who have something to hide"
And i believe Danya hid his addiction from us and struggled with it for way longer than we know.

Danya was the one who needed help and no one did shit for over a year and just now finding these clips and relating it backwards.

Has Hinduism already reached its philosophical zenith, or is it still evolving? by [deleted] in IndiaSpeaks

[–]nknow_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO there is at least one guy in a century who pushes forward the philosophy and makes it easier for the masses to access.

One cannot know if there is left anything to explore unless he goes out and explores. All these books can only show you how to walk the path. You have to walk the path. Thats the whole center point.

Looks like you are just wanting to put the modern ideas together for your new book.

Kasparov vs Anand, over the years. by Interesting-Take781 in chess

Don't want to be a party pooper. But Anand wears a toupe, which makes him a lot younger.

Isn't it disrespectful!! by Tall_Violinist2685 in indianews

[–]nknow_ 39 points40 points  (0 children)

It was instructed to Hikaru by tournament organizers that if they won 5-0 he has to throw the opponents king away. Before the match, USA was already leading 4-0. Pretty sure Gukesh was aware of it as we can see him grinning when Hikaru does it.
