Domnios is the lowest quality pizza I'm willing to eat.

Dominos recently came to SA

Their pizza literally tastes like baked AIDS

I would rather take the time to make my own than give that shithole my buisness

Reading Game of Thrones is driving me insane.
I wonder if even native English speakers are familiar with some of these words
 
I haven't played this game since TI5

Does lone druid still suck? That determines whether or not I find the game enjoyable. I really miss pushing heroes being a thing, I see 50% of the bottom professional picks are the heroes I love like chen, enchantress, prophet, troll and tinker.

You reading the ebook version? I read all literature in English and the digital dictionary makes getting through tough reads easy.

I wish..

I'm sitting with a dictionary app open in my phone and use it every time there's a word I don't know
There are chapters where it only happens once every few pages, but this chapter had pages with 5 words I either never heard before or not a 100% sure about
 
GoT is alright I think, I'm not a native english speaker and I manage it. Some words I skip because they're some medieval clothing shit so I don't bother too much tbh

That's exactly it.

I can read the book just fine without ever using a dictionary, but then I'm lost on all the nuances and descriptions.

Yeah, that slows down progress a lot. Ebooks are literally the best thing ever.
 
Game of thrones really isn't that bad as far as the genre goes. Pretty middle of the pack in terms of difficulty. I imagine the genre on the whole isn't terribly kind to nonnative speakers though
 
Currently reading LOTR in english and it's much more confusing tbh, even the dictionary doesn't help sometimes (I had to wikipedia what the barrow downs were, or even barrow wights, the dictionary entry only referred wheelbarrows <_<)

edit : yeah, probably will try lovecraft after i'm done with LOTR/the hobbit/silmarillion

where are people on brew itemization? First time playing him yesterday, I was a weird 4 position and went blink, arcanes, vlads, AC, aghs.
 
Arcanes not needed, just get bottle and treads. Wand if you're against mana burn maybe. You only need to cast his nuke + ult
Blink then stack auras imo, including gem. Vlads, shivas, AC, radiance, what have you. I think drums work too ? But eh.

Reading Way of Kings by Sanderson at the moment and find its language very easy to comprehend. MD might want to try that if he's into the genre. WOK is also insanely good.

thank fuck
 

LiQuid!

I proudly and openly admit to wishing death upon the mothers of people I don't like
I love how every time a new patch is about to drop everybody acts like it's going to be The One Patch To Rule Them All.

apparently the op said his chinese roommate tries to do something like this every patch... chinese rly taking patch thirst to the next level lol. i hope so tho that means patch notes on wed/thurs...right? RIGHT? pls mr. lizard

just take a big shit on the summit 4, tbh tho we need that day 1 patch LAN rofl that would be great
 
calling it now, 2 months from now :
"man I'm sick of morphling every game GIVE US 6.87"
"fuck weaver pickers"
"ICEFROG NERF ENCHANTRESS PLS"

fucking tryhard elder titan pickers, pls nerf 6.87

these aren't lies


elder titan will always be dumpster tier in pubs, might become strong in pro though

but this is.


Allahder Titan is still broken and OP, it's just pubs expect Him to be played as a support (?) rather than a workhorse 3. Put Him mid and He shits on TA/Shit Fiend/anyone who isn't QoP. And His incoming buffs will only make Him more powerful. A visage tea.

Perched for a natural order minibash tbh, it's coming (BIKE)

A new patch doesn't really need to be good in itself, as in 'I want this meta forever'. The novelty itself is good, and the first month of a patch still have people experimenting etc.... then it's back to people making the same pick they see in pro game, or picking high winrate on dotabuff.

last time he was strong he was strong in pubs, too. And the time before that he was straight broken in pubs. Natural order let you duel literally anyone in the game until they got real damage items, and if you snowballed and picked up an early AC or similar, you could transition in to an easy win pretty reliably.

those were the days, when the 0-4-4-0 build emerged and astral spirit did 1 million damage.
