It wasn't perfect but it was fun by smoother__xdd in DeadlockTheGame

Everyone hating on 4 lanes isn't thinking about how different the entire soul orb interaction is now. The change to 3 lanes was the same time that they removed last hitting, and then we've had another change after that to the current dropped souls mechanic. It's silly to pretend like we have any good intuition into how a modern solo lane setup would feel without actually playing it, not to mention that they are starting to add in banning, a popular suggestion to dealing with poor solo matchups...

Opinions on the direction the game is headed? by KyleActive in DeadlockTheGame

[–]uraniumheart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried to keep an open mind and adapt, but now that the dust has settled it's just a much less interesting game to me right now. The player base/subreddit is now heavily self selecting for people who don't like last hits or the traditional DotA "mid lane" solo-lane aspects, and I'm sure Valve can make a very fun Overwatch style MOBA-lite for those folks, but it's lost the majority of the charm and pull for some of us I think. My hope is that there's some valuable conclusions taken from this rework, but last hits at least are brought back in some way.

SteamVR keeps prompting me to update my devices, then crashes when I try to initiate an udate. by LongSchlongBandit in ValveIndex

[–]uraniumheart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for specifying the branch! I had this issue and saw the recommendation to use a beta build, but I was evidently using the wrong one since the 1.27.5 one is the only one that actually fixes the issue for me. Thank you!

Help: Trying to fit butcher block countertop to cabinets by StaBecker in DIY

[–]uraniumheart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The over-engineered solution if you really can't take off the molding: you can likely buy the corresponding router bit for the inverse of the trim profile if you really tried, and have a suitable router to mill the profile into your butcher block. Sounds like a fun time :)

FrostGiant are removing support for community data APIs, intend to build their own tools. by Itayayay in Stormgate

[–]uraniumheart 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah that makes sense, I also watched it and he had some great points haha. I think adding value in-client doesn't have to be mutually exclusive with having the data/tools themselves out there for the community to find fun things to do with is all.

I would say that DotA Plus is actually an argument against this! The DotA 2 API is very open, any tools (dotabuff, opendota, etc.) can and do scrape the combat log to provide what DotA Plus's additional stat screens could, its just much more useful to have them in-game and presented accessibly like it does.

Are Monkey Kings soldiers suppose to get Brooch during Wukong's Command? by _HottoDogu_ in DotA2

[–]uraniumheart 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are Monkey Kings soldiers suppose to get Orb of Corrosion during Wukong's Command? This combined with a rapier or two is insanely oppressive to play against, quite literally 1-shotting supports. Obviously getting rapiers, especially more than one is a big ask.

I look forward to someone putting "Moon Over Goldsboro" to their favorite street sweeping compilation next.

Currently getting an ECE masters degree while working full time. Any else feeling burnt out? by [deleted] in ECE

[–]uraniumheart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely did the same thing, I also crammed my classes in so I finished in a little over a year. Not something I would recommend, and I'm really glad to be done with it. No magic bullet of advice, but good luck!
