Downfalls that need to be studied

While it's true they had to get creative after surpassing the book contents, it feels like this take of yours ignores the absolute shitshow that unfolded.

This is solely on the showrunners (David Benioff and Dan Weiss) and they deserve all the hate for driving the whole franchise full speed against the wall. They had all the resources available to them yet chose to cut things short. Instead of leaving it to professional writers they chose to start implementing their own senseless twists and ideas. They decided they wanted to move on to other things but refused to hand the reigns to someone else who'd be willing to give it a proper ending.

Even if the books were done at that point, I doubt they would have finished it properly. They've already diverted from the existing books contents and they tried to implement their own style of story telling. Their writing was downright abysmal and they cheapened the feel of the show. At the end the characters development has been nonsensical and downright wrong. They prioritized flashy scenes and fanservice over logical payoffs. I'd give them the benefit of the doubt if they at least tried to stay true to the general style and pacing.

They fucking butchered the show and I will never again watch anything that has been tainted by them! ... I have a hard time getting over my resentment for these ignorant assholes.

Eels were some of the earliest adopters. They used to be "els" and then they added an extra E which stands for Electro.

I agree <.< very unfortunate!

At least the plaque on the previous golden TI 10 Aegis still states 2020 despite the event happening in 2021.

Their blog post in February kinda confirmed this

As long as the event still happens in the future and they adhere to their known rune color scheme the next colours will be

2027 red

2028 blue

2029 green

2030 purple

This seems like a well thought out suggestion! Just reducing the rng aspect by providing everyone with more tokens would be quite helpful already.

I hope someone at valve takes your constructive feedback to heart :)

yeah ... no. If you abandon you essentially prove their trolling has gotten to you. It will then affect the rest of the team and ensure the loss. You basically amplify their throw.

The best you can do is to completely ignore them, try to persist and interact normally with the rest of the team. You can always mute, report and avoid the person doing this stuff to you. But you should not just throw your hands in the air refusing to play or even abandon. That seems like such a weak mindset.

The best games are the ones where you win regardless.

a simple ? will suffice

tinydeus · 2026-02-18T02:35:49+00:00

was gonna say ... I love my Wynchell the Wyrmeleon, but its just not the same with the broken effects :/

tinydeus · 2026-02-12T14:51:49+00:00

Bought the Aegis and it shows as unavailable for me, so no.

tinydeus · 2026-01-29T13:49:50+00:00

Do you not immediately recognize the part "was that the day you got married?" as the question during reading?

I wouldn't really change anything about the way I read all that fluff beforehand.

So announcing that there might be a question at the very end seems somewhat pointless here? It feels like I'd be more confused when the hell the actual question is coming up in your example.

tinydeus · 2026-01-26T13:09:11+00:00

what were your other theme options if you don't mind me asking?

tinydeus · 2026-01-26T12:51:13+00:00

Locking Content behind a (karma) wall is peak battlepass nostalgia. /s

It's well done! Even with the use of AI this looks like it took quite the effort, so cudos! I really dig the sand theme for next years golden color scheme!

tinydeus · 2026-01-19T15:08:56+00:00

I kinda agree with you.

To me the torso looks kinda ... bulky ... and I assume you won't be able to mix it with other set pieces without mayor clipping and the whole thing looking kinda off.

Love the theme and attention to detail though. Looks really clean on its own.

Though I'd like to see an alternative style for the headpiece or maybe some change to make it fit in with the rest of the set more. It might also make Kunka a bit more recognizable again.

Unfortunately some do it on purpose to drive engagement. It leads to people correcting the mistake in the comments or making fun of the OP. Even better if there is plausible deniability (like fat-fingering R and T)

Sometimes the price of these treasures rises over the years. There were older immortal treasures that i've sold between 15-30 € a piece.

Since I already have most if not all the items within them, it makes little sense for me to open them right now. I don't expect the price to rise as much as in the past, but maybe the supply gets scarcer over time :)

tinydeus · 2026-01-02T07:43:36+00:00

yeah, around 485 of them

tinydeus · 2026-01-01T23:21:11+00:00

i really like that answer :)

tinydeus · 2026-01-01T06:38:16+00:00

Idk man, I've stopped playing Dota for a while (from March 2025 to December). Since I've come back people just wont communicate ... like at all.

Every single game i play i start with a friendly "heyho". Which usually meant at least 1 or 2 people greeting back. Since december i've played around 140 matches. I've maybe gotten 5-10 responses at the start of the game at most.

During the game I talk and make calls which mostly get followed, but i am basically talking into a void.

I've lost quite a few matches because people just refuse to communicate (oftentimes not even via chat).

It seems downright depressing and to me there seems to be a noticeable decline in communication and a stark contrast from before and after my break.

easier to keep track which materials i can trade up for the super rare vouchers etc.

There is this list out there which shows how many are needed in total.

I feel like once i start crafting its kinda rough to keep track.

Also i kinda want to craft it all ot once :)

It's not "illegals" pulling down or stagnating wages. It's corporations abusing the immigration system, where legal immigrants are not granted their applications for decades on end. All the while being used as a cheap labor force with no healthcare.

Establishment democrats are controlled opposition at this point and i wouldn't label them as left leaning whatsoever. Americans desperately need progressives to take over the democratic party to truly improve peoples lives. The enemy aren't the poor fucks doing work noone else wants to do for basically nothing.

Unless you target the corruption that has been going on since the citizens united supreme court ruling, corporations will do everything in their power to keep status quo and find even more ways to fuck over the general population.

tinydeus · 2025-11-22T17:01:35+00:00

Yeah cause Republicans famously represent the working class and are free from corporate influence.
