Not sure how much, but I paid the same price for 3G for 6 months. Considering we dont even have 4G in most places anyway. | ||

Slow enough that I cant even watch Twitch reliably but its the best they have and I cant switch to another ISP because they would need even more than months to set a connection up. Germany might be good at engineering stuffbut the Internet is too big of a mystery for our politicians. Thats why our whole internet infrastructure is still in the hands of one huge incorprate company. meanwhile im sitting in a rural area at my parents place downloading mount&blade on a shitty pc with 10 mb/s u maed but yes internet here is fucking weird | ||

Yeah, I got nothing. Its like my buddy who asked me why Dawn of War looked like a Starcraft and Warcraft rip off. I just sighed and told him he had it backwards. | ||

Also this was a pretty entertaining read http://kotaku.com/93-hours-in-im-still-not-sure-if-dota-2-is-fun-1611226542?utm_campaign I like the part at the end where he is talking about the date he was on and still thinking about the match. Dota no like relationships. Its why I don’t play dota before bed, because it keeps me up. I also never play when I know my girl is going to get home because I don’t want to be “that guy”. I have a friend who is just dipping his toe into dota right now. He has two kids and is just trying out games vs bots when he has time and seeing how heroes work. He texts me every once and a while asking about stuff. When he started he asked how he asked me if there was some bug with glimpse because he made someone disappear off the map. I told him “No, you just did it within 4 seconds of them TPing in, so they got sent back to fountain or wherever they were”. Its been like that for a about a couple of weeks now. Every morning I get some crazy question about why something happens. Now if he can just find a free hour to play a full match.(no he hasn’t finished a bot match, he has a newborn). That which seems totally normal to us is fucking black magic to others. Disjointing is a space term used by crazy people. | ||

Snow_man, that is the master plan. Let other people have babies and enjoy their kids. Kids by proxy. | ||

Disjointing is a space term used by crazy people. at least he's genuinely curious about the game, and didn't give up after he hit the dota wall that asks you to know everything about the game the first time you play it. I like your friend. | ||
