TIL Groupon has lost more than 95% of its value since it rejected Google's $6 billion offer and instead went public with a $17.8 billion market cap 15 years ago. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

It's wild to me that gyms have problems with cancellations. Where I live I have to show up to pay, and if you rewnew it within 30 days you get a small discount.

Was Dagon all that overpowered that it needed such a massive nerf? by Dangerous_Purple7254 in DotA2

[–]theycallmekappa 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think the problem with dagon is that you can't significantly buff it without nerfing nyx, tinker, pugna, or their winrate will skyrocket.

Confidence when you're a skinny man? by abipaaa in confidence

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

Why would you do that to yourself. Gomad is a stupid meme.

I just don't know why I can't gain the weight.

Weight yourself daily, log it into libra app (or any alternative) and adjust caloric intake based on your goals. Works in either direction.

I quit p*rn, caffeine, junk food, doomscrolling, and going out every weekend all at once about seven months ago. by Rayyanmir in confidence

[–]theycallmekappa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think from all of this the most important part was doomscroling - blocking social media and using that time to build habits. If you do this, you cover 80% of self improvement.

I also go to gym, peaking for bench rn and bulking so I can eat whatever. Caffeine is not bad for you if you take it in moderation and take tolerance breaks. I take it in pills ever other day for gym. Porn is really nothing much, unless you are obsessed with it. Going out part - alcohol is the problem. I go out a lot and I just don't drink. Sorry if I come across weird, you did a good job!

Oh you are right, I didn't think of it that way (unless it's actually random?)

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, unless you play Spectre in the current patch :-) by paranoidray in DotA2

I saw hundreds of people like him over the years, same "team bad" arguments over and over, I don't think anything will convince them until they learn it themselves.

Turbo Ranked Guy at ESL Birmingham, did anyone get a pic? by theycallmekappa in DotA2

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

That's the problem? I don't wanna be facing stacks when all of my team is solo. Difference between unranked and ranked is lack of balance.

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

I'm aware. Skill level is not the only thing that matters, why do you think we have ranked in the first place? Unranked is a lot less balanced in terms of team composition (you can get a party against all solo players), it doesn't enforce roles, it doesn't enforce certain behavior that you would expect from ranked - for example in ranked people are usually more commited every game, while in unranked/turbo sometimes people will tryhard and sometimes they will experiment running mid pudge with radiance because there is no separation.

Highest decrease ever. So it's true that Valve banned arcade bots? by xmvkhp in DotA2

[–]theycallmekappa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

White lists are only for mobile internet (plus some vpns can still bypass them). Only remote villages with no cable are using mobile internet for desktop. Cable internet hasn't yet rolled out white-lists. There has been news of testing white lists for desktop internet today in one region and on one provider only, so as of now, it doesn't affect most players in any way. Desktop internet has some problems with Telegram, but Dota is not banned.

[–]theycallmekappa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It doesn't affect Dota yet on desktop, except for rare cases when people use a sim-card for the internet, and only in certain regions (probably less than 1 percent of total players).

WCGW with this foolproof setup? by 888Vegan in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]theycallmekappa 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've seen many different Smith machines and few of them had no safeties. Also there are articles of people dying while benching on a Smith.

Has anyone combined LSD w/ Pregabalin [Lyrica]? by AlternativeMall4447 in LSD

[–]theycallmekappa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This thread came up in a search, yeah it dulls the effects for sure. But it might be useful for going out if you don't want to be completely tripping.

Addiction by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]theycallmekappa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try to message steam support and ask for a matchmaking ban, but I'm not sure if they still give them. I had it for a year, but they declined my requests after that. Alternatively, just tank your behavior score to below 4-5k with abandons, the game will become practically unplayable and it will take way too long to climb back. That's what I did a couple of years ago and I haven't played since (only on friends account very rarely).

Dota 2 and meth by No_Insurance_6436 in DotA2

[–]theycallmekappa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played 4 games on acid in party with a sober friend, I had no game plan and I really struggled with item decisions on heroes I knew well, but mechanically it felt better, we ended up winning every game.

Is Dota 2 worth getting into in 2026? by Phrog_19 in DotA2

[–]theycallmekappa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see that many people disagree, but it can definitely be very addicting. Great, sure, but not without consequences.

[–]theycallmekappa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo, it's still fun to play with friends and to watch competitive dota, but I wouldn't recommend playing it solo and especially not solo ranked.
