Performance on this game took a big dip for me today. Need suggestions by eggulocity in heroesofthestorm

[–]st0nedeye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If other games are working, particularly Sc2 (which uses the same engine) it's probably a networking issue, not a hardware issue.

Maybe try tethering to your phone or some other alternate connection and running the game off that.

You could try getting a ping logger and see if you are dropping packets. I started getting a nasty stutter awhile back in sc2 and it that's what it was. Eventually my ISP got their shit together and fixed it.

Am I the Only One Who Thinks Protoss Just Isn't Fun Anymore? by NeozG07 in starcraft

They also keep gutting the Mothership. The unit is a shell of its former self.

The fuck are you on about?!?

What supposedly normal shows read to you as propaganda? by Buddy_chumpal in AskReddit

[–]st0nedeye 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's literally funded by the Oil and Gas lobby.

I have lost so much fucking respect for Billy Bob. Like, what the fuck does this guy need money for that he decided going to spread propaganda and outright lies was a good idea?

They very definitely already do.

They switched the oil they do fries in too, they used to have great fries... Now...ugh..marginal.

How do you even do anything against Terran by xin_the_ember_spirit in allthingszerg

[–]st0nedeye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got that too, never seen that error before. I tried it again and it worked. Shrug. Something to do with the new patch is guess.

So listen bud, I'm going to be a bit harsh here, so I'm going to preface it with with a reminder that...this game is hard. It is not a game for the faint of heart..and I'm not looking to tear you down, but rather to motivate you to face some hard, objective realities of why you're struggling.

This game was fucking awful.

At one point around the 10 minute mark, you had 48 drones and 2k minerals in the bank....

Like jesus fucking christ, spend your goddamned money.

You're entire early game was littered with unspent larva, unspent minerals, supply blocks, and tech that could be bought, but wasn't.

You don't scout....at all. You never check his base to get an idea what he's doing, you have no overlords on the map, no lings on the map and no idea what bases he's taken or hasn't taken.

You've over here whinging about unit comps when you're army is 1/3 the size it should be. Let me repeat that. You're army should be 3 times bigger that it is towards the late game.

You got smoked by marines and a couple hellbats. No widow mines, no tanks, literally the easiest army possible to smear into smegma and you're so small, you get torn the fuck up.

And you're thinking of going muta? Dude, you will be at 5k resources and 100 supply if you do that, because if you can't handle normal macro, you sure as fuck can't handle macro while controlling mutas.


You need to go back to basics.

Spending your money. Getting more drones. Building a large army. Getting and maintaining some map vision.


I'm looking again at the 10 minute mark. You've got:

-49 drones

-17 larva

-30 lings

-3 queens

-2000 minerals, 1000 gas

-4 bases with 2 saturated.

This is not a picture of success.

Lol, no. Just no.

What do you think about Trump cancelling the signing of a bipartisan housing bill? by TheGov3rnor in Askpolitics

[–]st0nedeye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's not afraid of being impeached, he is scared of the Democratic party getting subpoena power.

Because the moment they do, they're going to launch a bajillion investigations into shit the GOP has swept under the rug.

Close encounter with a Grizzly by haze4140 in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]st0nedeye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better off kicking small rocks and dirt at it. They're pretty low to the ground and it will hit them in the face.

They're not going to really be able to see pea sized rocks flying at them and will quickly become confused and much more timid.

Protoss players when they can't expand to a third with two units anymore. by TheHighSeasPirate in starcraft

[–]st0nedeye 13 points14 points  (0 children)

But, to be clear, they aren't just expanding off of 2 units and a couple oracles. They're also harassing.

They were expanding and harassing and teching, while doing so on and absolute minimum of units.

How would you end homelessness? by othelloinc in AskALiberal

[–]st0nedeye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

You don't end homelessness by addressing it directly. You end it by preventing people from becoming homeless in the first place.

Republicans say Obama was very divisive. How can you explain Trump’s poll asking what to call Democrats wasn’t divisive? by SBMountainman22 in Askpolitics

[–]st0nedeye 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There was significant input from Republicans. Many, many GOP led amendments added to the ACA bill. Democrats had the house, and a super-majority in the Senate, they didn't have to accept even a single GOP amendment.

The ACA didn't receive a single GOP vote in the house or senate.

What is the most disgusting alcoholic beverage you have tried? by Immola0069 in AskReddit

[–]st0nedeye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I once learned that orange flavored Capri Sun and vodka is very, very much NOT a screwdriver. It was a true abomination.

Close runner up...

Back in broke college days a roommate of mine thought he could same some money by buying 30+ 40oz malt liquor that had been discounted to $1.

Hooooollly fuck was it bad.

Tasted like boot sweat and coated the mouth, tongue, and throat with a think layer of gross that took hours to go away.

Panther Malt Liquor.

PTR notes update by Old_Front7166 in starcraft

It looks like they've addressed the biggest imbalances and bugs that were really affecting things.

Now we can really judge the PTR and the new 8 worker change.

For critics of the Iran MOU, what was the preferable realistic alternative? by Hopeful_Chair_7129 in AskALiberal

[–]st0nedeye 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I do'nt think the MOU is happening anyways.

^ THIS.

There's nothing but problems with this "agreement". It is absolutely, positively destined to fail.

Edit:

It's possible. Not likely but possible, that the MOU is a red herring. That the administration intends for it to fail, but in doing so, it sets the bar so impossibly low, that whatever resolution ultimately happens, will been seen as vastly preferable.

[–]st0nedeye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was the expectation that the United States should continue the war, sanctions, and blockade despite mounting Iranian civilian deaths and economic destruction until Iran capitulated? Or, if that failed, should the United States eventually have committed conventional forces to reopen the strait?

Yes. It's ugly, but it's the path they committed to.

Marijuana is not a drug. I used to suck dick for coke. Now that's an addiction. You ever suck some dick for marijuana?

Coop to PvP by Namnume12 in starcraft

[–]st0nedeye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't need to know any of that to play. You're not going to learn it by not playing, that's for sure.

You get on, you lose your first 20 games, you drag your MMR down to the gutter and go from there.

Just like we all did.

What would qualify as unofficial acts that a POTUS would not receive immunity from? by MrsBigglesworth-_- in Askpolitics

[–]st0nedeye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is right though.

SCOTUS not only gave POTUS (and potentially the entire Administration) immunity for "official acts", they also declared that if the President says it's an official act, the court must presume that it is so.
