I don't think it's healthy, especially if it is a patch that the community in general wasn't particularly fond of. I know that sort of happens with every patch, but I don't think many compare to the hate for 6.83 with Troll, Hoho Haha, and the Rubber Bands.

If they want to have every other patch be more of a 6.85 type of patch, with not as much big stuff, I would be okay with that as it would at least shake things up.

Yeah. I'd say, bottom line, they need to up the frequency of patches in general. Even if there are only 2 patches a year with drastic change like new heroes or big terrain edits, there needs to be a higher frequency of patches that change hero viability at large and perhaps the pace of the game.

Honestly it seems to be that heroes in Dota being so wild and strong relative to most other mobas actually works against them here. Its more fun for a while, but being chronosphered or blown up by an invoker quickly becomes tiresome to new and old players alike.

 

[Anbokr]

They kind of backed themselves into a corner having 4 majors a year.

People don't want to watch the same meta for two majors in a row.

I'm sure they'd rather have Ti be fresh if it's going to be Manila or Ti getting a big patch.

i mean haven't they averaged ~4 patches per year anyway? Sure, the major system sets certain expectations timeline wise, but a patch once every 3-5 seems to be the par for the course.

The Chinese dota forums makes no sense, it's like all memes or something.

Chinese memes are far beyond the western ones.

Wait. Tumblr is to blame for these shitty short gifs? Jesus christ Tumblr this is 2016, fix your shit.

Anyone have recs for a good free video editor that isn't Movie Maker, Hitfilm, for Resolve? Been having resolution, audio sync, and compatibility issues with those, respectively and I want to upload some high-quality videos.

Between 3-4, so it's feasible but if you run into issues with development you've kind of locked yourself into putting out a patch between majors.

Or community expectations of a patch between majors which might as well be the same thing as far as Valve is concerned.

Why not pick up Daigo while you're at it?

 

[NormalFish]

Onto embedded webms? Yes.

just as long as they encompass an entire scene or loop in a way that isn't jarring.

From what I've seen he hasn't been dropped by MCZ, I think.

They're much higher quality and lower filesize than gif, despite being technically video. Nowhere near the same technical constraints.

Yeah, I understand. I'm just worried about how Tumblr would utilize it.

Really all I want is for gifs to enhance, rather than distract from, my consumption of low quality discussion and memes.

Are you sure it isn't the software recording the game footage? I've had issues with DXTory audio desyncing, and I just make sure to do some kind of visual counter to line it up with the audio in the editor (like buying things from the shop while counting as you do it, that way you have audio from your voice, game sound, and game visual).

I can export mp4s from the capture I'm using (GeForce) and those line up. It's when I put 'em into hitfilm that they desync.

I took a peek into this whole Allison Rapp getting fired thing and I wish I hadn't.

Yeah, that shit is horrifying. I don't understand the gators at all.

 

[Sigismundo]

I've noticed that I tend to go on long streaks of playing cores then playing supports.

That's not too bad I guess although it does tend to mess me up when switching from one to the other.

 

[DrPizza]

Yeah, that shit is horrifying. I don't understand the gators at all.

It's easy.

If women are dressed as school girls with short skirts and put on pedestals for horny gamers to gawk at, that's fine, because gamers love women dressed as school girls, and besides, they're just expressing their sexuality and not being treated as objects at all.

If game developers want to fill their games with tits and ass that serves no purpose other than letting people get their rocks off, that's artistic expression and must not even be criticized, lest the artist be discouraged from creating their art.

But if a woman works as an escort, then even if she does this in a way that's completely separated from her day job, then she's a grotesque abomination and should be fired and driven from the computer game industry.

A generation of young men sexually and misogynistically pandered to for decades yielded a lot of bad fruit.

It almost seems obvious in hindsight.

what are you on about?

the mental gymnastics people go through to defend their position is mindblowing.

any decent job will have something in their contract about bring their employment into disrepute.

If working as a prostitute doesn't appear to be in conflict with working at Nintendo, I don't know what's going on anymore.

Targetting her in the first place was disgusting, any death threats made are disgusting, doxxing her family is disgusting, even searching through to find it was disgusting.

But once the discovery was made, Nintendo made the right decision.

I gave a buddy my 7850 and it's serving him well. Doubt he's interested in VR, though.

Honestly think the need for modern GPUs for most games is widely overstated.

Yup

I was using a GTX 460 till November last year. Could even play The Witcher (at 30 fps)

But now im all about that AMD life. R9 280 was a MASSIVE upgrade for me.

I am a great person.

I'm loving bounty hunter right now.
I'm a support yet enemies will try to buy detection to fight for map control. I can starve their jungler, track their carries while farming, hunt their couriers and just be a pain in the ass to everyone. I also love that I have many items builds to choose from and thanks to track gold most of them are achievable. I think I will be spamming him in ranked games.

Who's ready for some patch notes tonight?

I do not know, really it should depend on her service was she getting 4 star escort reviews or 1 stars. If someone cannot maintain quality in a high-demand industry how could they be expected to do the easy job as PR for Nintendo.

 

[rakkadakka]

But once the discovery was made, Nintendo made the right decision.

It sets a nasty precedent and only further encourages the people who are doing this dirty work.

If we just dig far enough and deep enough we will find something that will cost you dearly and we won't stop even once your fired.

This can easily be turned on anyone and as long as we pretend like the ends justified the means then it will never be stopped.

Whether or not this is something that Nintendo did in the right is irrelevant, the GG boys are getting results and are encouraged.
