(This post is not about politics — just sharing my situation.)

It seems like my country is heading the North Korean way. There’s a real possibility that all international servers — like Steam and other game launchers — could be blocked for us soon.

I’ve been a believer, and I still am! But please, Team Cherry — let me experience beauty before the void arrives.

Never said it was about Silksong.

Sorry for the bad edit, it’s 5 in the morning and I’m lazy and tired

Isaac git gud

It’s getting so close…

Always wanted to try silkposting (animation by me btw)

I’m so devastated. I loved Hypnospace Outlaw. Everyone please check it out, its so good

Ubisoft was likely quite pleased with how well the Battle for Brooklyn DLC sold!

Not necessarily your favorite. Not the most groundbreaking. But the one that taught you something about games, design, or even life.

Could be janky, could be pixelated, could be a AAA beast. Maybe it’s how it used music. Or pacing. Or just that one moment you still think about years later.

What’s that game?

Happy Birthday, Miracle! Wishing you good health, endless happiness, and continued success in everything you do. Stay strong and keep shining!

This is not a prediction guys. Dota is coming back to its glory days in the next 3 months.

Ti is back in Germany. There will be a Battle Pass this year. Nigma is at fucking TI.

And a spoiler for all of you !! Team Spirit is coming in prime shape. There will be no Raddan here. Yatoro is back !! Team Spirit is back !! Two time Riyadh Masters winners and three time TI winners incoming !!

I hope all of you are ready, we will be watching the peak of Dota over the next few months. Book it guys, you will thank me later.

Ps: all of you will come back to this post in a few months.

In terms of abilities (and maybe even name and lore)

Put together in case this would give any specific insight into why it feels spirit feels worse late. >!(ignoring for now the fact that fire rate and weapon damage scale multiplicatively in a way that spirit doesn’t get outside of superior cooldown)!<

I wonder if part of it is that more characters can make good use of the weapon character specific items than the spirit ones.
Or that no one’s building the hybrid items on spirit hero’s.
Or that no one’s building echo shard for more damage other than bebop.
Or that no one’s buying refresher on their damage spirit carries despite doubling their damage (due to its cooldown)
Or that too many spirit players are upgrading Cold Front/Slowing Hex/Mystic Slow instead of selling for more damage (or tankiness).
Or that the late game scaling on Lucky Shot/Ricochet/Armor Piercing is just stronger than what spirit has

Six silent players all operating off their own sense of tempo routinely ends up losing. If all six players agree on one mediocre plan, they often ending up winning by virtue of overwhelming the enemy with simple coordination.

If someone suggests a bad plan, don’t just ignore it. Either suggest a different plan, modify their plan, or accept their plan and roll with it. It is generally better to be unanimously on board with a risky idea than it is to leave everybody perpetually wondering “what the fuck were my teammates planning?”.

You learn the game faster by agreeing to plans. By making and sharing plans. You perform better operating within a plan. No, not every bad plan will lead to victory. But almost every team of six silent disconnected players will lose. “Well I’ve won a lot of matches where nobody worked together” Those matches were unbalanced in your favor. For actual challenging and even matches: Be on the same page.

I only learned how to do this last night while trying to figure out where the optimum soul investment points in each category are in terms of the raw stat bonuses they give you.

The value of each stat is not really numerically comparable, as they provide different things (weapon damage %, health %, spirit power), but this gives you an idea of how much benefit you are getting for hitting each milestone.

The first 800 souls is the best value per soul, but bear in mind souls are more easy to obtain the later the game goes, so the value of a soul deflates significantly over time - I don’t really know how to account for that, maybe divide by average souls per minute if I could get a view of that stats across a nice sample.

The next big milestones are 3200 and 9600. After that the value plateaus significantly. Notable differences are that Spirit Marginal value is more consistent between 1600-3200 and Vitality doesn’t really have the same behaviour where the value goes back up …

I think these types of memes should be allowed on the subreddit - they act as nice filler from all the talk about gameplay issues, patches, balancing, and whatnot. If the subreddit gets filled with spam as a consequence, then they could only be allowed on sunday (named Shitpost Sunday with the relevant tag)

Afterall it’s upto the mods of the subreddit, but I think letting the community vote on whether or not they’d like this sort of content would be healthier for everyone in general
