Welcome fleetfeet, glad to have another fellow Alpha here in the midst of this swamp.

It's just ironic because the dialogue was "Yeah its okay to play HotS or whatever, that's fine" followed by "JUST BECAUSE A GAME IS SIMPLE DOESNT MEAN ITS NOT NUANCED AND WORTHWHILE" followed by something about insecurities.

It is okay. HotS is a simpler game than dota. It is designed to be a simpler game than dota. It is designed to be more pick-up-and-play than dota. It has merits. You should not feel bad for having played HotS. You do not need to defend HotS. It is not chess. That is okay.

We're okay. Its okay.


I believe you have mischaracterize the tone of this discussion. At no point did I ever infer that HotS was not a simpler game. I embraced that point in talking about it and said it was lower impact that Dota as well. And at no point did I post anything that would confused with yelling or being in all caps.

Nothing wrong with enjoying HotS or LoL. Sometimes I enjoy tic-tac-toe over chess too. Just don't pretend you're not playing tic-tac-toe


But lets not let the carefully crafted comments by H-dog’s post get in the way of reviewing his history as a passive aggressive shitposter who likes to stir up trouble. Like most edgelords on the internet. Tic-tax-toe is a bad game. It is broken on a fundamental level. By going from chess to checkers and then to tic-tax-toe, he is effectively shit talking while making a vague effort to sound polite. And the last line can be translated to “Just don’t act like you are playing a good game like Dota 2.”

Tic-tac-toe is a very respectable game, please don't be so dismissive of games that other people may prefer. It comes off especially hypocritical since HotS, your game of choice, is basically a repackaged and more visually appealing version of it.

I like the nickname H-dog and it made a slight smile appear on my face, thank you for addressing me in such a fun way. I would like to propose an alliance between you and I plansix. Are you free in 3 hours? Let's play dota together and maybe I can convince you chess is a deeper, and more strategic game than tic-tac-toe

Although I appreciate the offer, I am spoken for tonight by dearest friend and better half. Ice cream and beer are superior to Dota.

Art is expensive. I am slowly filling my office with art I like, but it costs a bunch and frames cost even more.

I went to a gallery last week and that was definitely more expensive than the frame I just got, but the framing was not cheap!

Definitely the last two weeks have not been the most responsible of my life lol
