Keep in mind the medal it displays is based on your highest rank between solo and party, but if ur party queueing it mostly uses ur party MMR to match.

So 5 stack ranked is quite prone to matchmaker garbage like that because what it displays isn't what it's using to match

isn't that just wayy less imbalanced than wat stancel posted?
also isn't that just expected outcome tbh? once u have leaderboard players it's reasonable to expect to play others

but i literally forgot to tighten screws on my gpu block and drowned the whole thing in water twice while benchmarking and even that didn't do anything
okay lightning broke a network port once

My 1070 seems to go on the fritz whenever I play old games like D2 or WC3. Its really odd. But as soon as I start up Cvi5 or Farcry5 it runs like a champ.

Its prolly a driver issue, but I doubt Nvidia has a driver update for those games.

I'm not sure how much help I can provide over this thread but if anyone needs help with depression/anxiety feel free to message me and I can try to signpost you in the right direction. If you have questions about antidepressants I can also help there.

the first step is actually realize that depression is a disease and medical help is needed to cure it, psychologist and psychiatrist are not esoteric people, they studied and based on scientific facts.

I swear to god people think depression is just a state of mind and just saying "Dude don't worry, you'll be fine" will cure them


But I mean that's literally the most basic coping strategy you'll be run through when you go to a professional for problems w depression/anxiety. They're like "breathe, meditate, remind yourself that it will be okay". I wonder if its a filter for "Is this person just stressed the fuck out, or do they actually have problems"

Actual therapy was so fucking nice though. I don't get to talk to people that are outright smarter than me in my day-to-day life that often, so therapy was fucking amazing for that.

Duh. Don't play while the update is running. Problem solved.

I remember glide wrapper and increased performance. Nice.

Man I get this stupid Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator to sell all my Dota shit now to buy a game and it still hasn't kicked in. Also the app is ass to navigate through.

Well this is stupid. Kind of nullifies the whole point of making one of these.
+ Show Spoiler +
Any trades or Market listings created before a Mobile Authenticator is added, or during the first 7 days after it is added, will be held for 15 days. Trades or Market listings created more than 7 days after a Mobile Authenticator is added will not be held by Steam. Adding a Mobile Authenticator will not reduce the length of existing item holds.

Thanks for the offer. <3
My roommate found his old HD5850 or something. Its functional for browsing, so I am not concerned about it for now.

I mean it ruined the performance of like half the games when it came out last spring and they haven't fixed it.
Microsoft forced that broken thing on everyone and there wasn't even any noise about it.


5850 can even run dota ok

K, now I have booked and paid for a spot at the waga training camp. I see it as an expensive vacation and something to try out to see if I like it or not. I fully gave up on trying to be a pro or even semi pro around 2014 already so the coaching part is something I'll try out more than wanting anything special from it.

Spending a week playing dota with people that like it seems like a nice holiday to me. 2015 TI we rented a LAN cafe for a week, sadly no interest to do that later years from that group. :/

Now to decide if I want to grind to Divine 5 from Divine 3 before then or keep up other hobbies...

apparently disgusting racist ixmike88 (88=stands for HH) got banned from twitch for unacceptable piece of music

now if I remember correctly he was once part of team liquid, where is tl's apology
also expecting a re-education camp for all tl contracted players if this is the kind of stuff they are taught to do

more like #TLWINSRACISM, too bad it's not a race you want to win

e. just have waga teach you techies and enjoy free mmr and free entry into pro scene, o wait last I checked waga couldn't make it as a pro so just enjoy free mmr and low prio tekis scum life

Definitely go for the grind or figure out how to improve until then.
The better you are the more intricate things you can learn there which possibly help you get even further. Even if you take a break you'll have the knowledge to improve on your own.

Kinda like I know what I should be practising to become a better drummer. I just don't manage to fit in practice time in my daily life since for ever.
