Is it being a pedofile to write some comments on reddit? There are actual pedofiles out and about and we’re worried about the comments of someone who probably didn’t do anything wrong. Is it suddenly wrong to have opinions? These screenshots show possible reactions to possible scenarios. He did not come out there insulting anyone.

Is annas better than z-lib?

It’s a very common thing among hunters, I don’t think you have to be “special” to like it.

Ahhh it’s the store, yeah if I used it I agree I think I’d be mad.

Makes sense for them though, it’s extra work to support old formats and old quirks each device might have. There’s got to be an alternative, but I’m not sure what it would be.

This could be interesting indeed, though in my case as I only really download epubs that are autoconverted to azw3 with my custom parameters and are loaded via the same usb I use to charge it anyway, I’m not sure I’d have much to gain here.

What do you mean stop supporting? Do they just stop providing updates? Do updates really matter on an ereader?

Can I ask what does it do? I’ve had a kindle oasis for years now and haven’t found anything to complain about. I already have a calibre script for things like margin, font, line spacing and css rules.

Lives outdoors

I wish.

Unfortunately all we have around here are these imported japanese ladybugs that have no local predators. So in the spring and fall we have to fend off their invasion at a rate of ~50 caught a day around the house.

Look at all these teeny tiny humans with their teeny tiny solar panels. All that just to catch the occasional stray photon. What are they compared to the sun almighty?

It’s missing features obviously (think neuroplasticity) but is that how AI differs from human intelligence, or simply a lack in the current generation?

1000 people is nothing, I wouldn’t put much faith in that. But yes, the numbers are close to what I’d guess.

Is a human much different? We too require tons of training and we too are prone to stupid mistakes.

The only way a dota player would be smarter than a lol one would be if:

• The game actively reinforces or weakens IQ, an argument I think we both agree is stupid.
• Smarter people choose dota and dumber people choose lol. A point that sounds plausible on the surface until you realize that nobody “chooses” a multiplayer game like that. They choose a game for it’s asthethics, whether you have friends that play it, its popularity, etc… Not because one has trees and the other doesn’t.

Like the average IQ of chess players is higher than that of your average checkers player.

Stupid argument, there is no concrete proof of that. They are very different types of games with very different goals and a different target audience. That would be like comparing CS vs Dota. Lol-Dota have very few meaningful core differences.

In a competitive game, the energy you don’t put thinking about where your courrier is, you put elsewhere, it does not go unused. The learning curve isn’t important when everyone puts in thousands of hours anyway. It takes you a week max to learn the basics of both games anyway, what does it matter if dota requires an extra day?

And you should really wonder if you want to be defending it in this thread of all places.

I agree. Lemmy users tend to be offended by just about everything, even a post game “ggez”.

Whether its a better game or not is subjective.

Most of the LoL or FPS player base is just a little bit too stupid or impatient for Dota 2

Crazy statement. Do you seriously think dota players are smarter than any other game in any way?

I will never believe anyone will be banned, on any game, for saying EZ at the end of a game. I’ve known plenty of people who acted like this on every game they played and they never got any sort of punishment. This is not toxic, it’s acting like a child, which will never be bannable. Normal people aren’t bothered by that.

What, you expect the game to punish players for saying “EZ” at the end of a match?? Not a single game will ever do that.

There was always regular aram (where you get a random champion and its perma 5v5 fighting, basically no strategy) but now the mayhem version gives you “augments” which is kind of like roguelike modifiers. It takes literally all the skill out of the mode so its pure RNG. That means all ranks play together and everyone gets to have fun.

This has nothing to do with league, this will happen in literally any pvp game. If you can’t stand it, it’s not the game’s fault. They give you the option to disable chat and emotes, it was your choice to keep them on.

but the reason the pro scene is so much bigger and more established in Dota is precisely because it is so meticulously balanced and rebalanced each month.

What do mean it’s bigger? League pro play has over 4 times the viewers. It also has more players and more tournaments. League’s final last year had 6.7M viewers, and 6.9M the year before, a figure that has never been beaten by any other esport in history, not even close. Dota’s peak for comparison was only about 2.7M, same for CSGO.

As for balance, well, every game tries their best and you won’t convince me that any is much better balanced than the other. League also has a balance patch every two weeks and I’m sure dota players complain about balance as much as league players do.
