You get to discuss anything not Dota related ranging from Sailor Moon to Sailor Mars without having to worry about making LD any shittier than it already is.

How strictly will this thread be moderated?
The moderation will be fairly lenient but keep it unrelated to Dota.

After you gather yourself from the inevitable laugh fit, just let the realization set in that this site is managed like shit and accept it. We do have some hope though. Now that the Curse-Liquid merger is public and hopefully smoothing out behind the scenes, Nazgul will remember he owns a Dota site and start properly allocating resources to our community.

That has always been the case and was one of the big parts of making this off-topic discussion. It doesn't mean no dota, it means that the casual/stupid topics that come up stay in here.

But something like that can clearly deserve its own thread and you all know that.

It's almost impossible to find a page in this thread that doesn't have some mention or relation to Dota. Indirectly or directly, dota is mentioned all the fucking time here (shocking I know) and the instances aren't met with a whiny, aggressive mod post. Be consistent or don't, but don't PMS all over the place and act as if that specific dota post (indirect really, it was about PPD as a player/gamer, and less about DOTA) insulted your mother.

4K TVs are overpriced as fuck and generally pointless
only slightly better than 3D in the sense that 4K is actually something that improves picture quality

exactly

but at least it's not a total bullshit gimmick like 3D was

4K will be useful 5-10 years from now

yeah exactly. straight from wiki:

YouTube and the television industry have adopted Ultra HD as its 4K standard.[4][5] As of 2014, 4K content from major television networks remains limited. However, 4K content is becoming more widely available online including on YouTube, Netflix and Amazon


so i see it as, if you want to 'invest' for the future, then go for the 4K (or perhaps its too early as tehh4ck3r said above..). otherwise no need at the moment.
