    Idly have the the Giant Bomb nite stream at E3, between interviews they have the camera pointed at people mingling and I notice.... Cyborgmatt.

    DOTA 2

    I wonder if this is even a real problem - must be aimed at China but at the same time I feel its probably easy to mask the true owner there. I feel these rules create a bad situation for a team replacing a player - if they add someone who doesn't work out they lose another 20% DPC but if they...

    DOTA 2

    Apparently Loda retired and Qoijva replaced him on Alliance. Also OG picked up Ana and Topson.

    I mean they've only been together for 4-days... I do wonder if performing poorly immediately after forming is bad for long term morale..

    DOTA 2

    I dunno, s4 has traditionally been more of a space making player instead of farming like Universe. I'm curious what OG does now, not Liquipedia doesn't list Mad as a player on the roster. I see free on the EU leaderboard: Saksa, Xcalibur, Chessie and gorgc. No one I recognize as an offlaner.

    DOTA 2

    One would think if they're removing the players they must have some inkling baout who they intend to replace them with. Although I suppose the situation could be completely cancerous. Don't forget about Complexity.... apparently Moonmeander and Adam in with Chessie (and Swindle) out.

    The Sci-Fi Book Thread

    For me it was one of the few books I've never bothered to finish, I found Snow Crash to be merely OK and Anathem to be total garbage though I still finished reading it.

    DOTA 2

    No idea what its like in SEA but slurs and other political correctness generally have historical context and don't necessarily carry between cultures. Another dota example is that the israeli player 33 from Optic used to use the nick TheCoon (used the South Park character as his player portrait).

    DOTA 2

    Odd that people are complaining about the assistant, I would imagine that virtually anyone willing to pay for dota would be past the point they'd be willing to follow a suggested item build or counter pick.

    DOTA 2

    As someone in Eastern time, feels like all the events are either while I'm sleeping or during the day. I'm not sure I would see pro-dota2 atm if it weren't for SingSing casually watching games with people he knows after the ESL incident opened up non-commercial streaming. Lot more interesting...

    Computer Issues

    Does anyone else have issues with ghost applications in their Windows 10 start menu search? On every PC I have running Windows 10 I have bogus entries in the start menu search for applications that have been uninstalled or upgraded. If the application has been upgraded the search will not find...

    Pyksel mentioned it but Rtings has a 20/4 burn-in test on so=me top models including an OLED - 20/7 Burn-In Test: OLED vs LCD VA vs LCD IPS They also have another test running with strictly OLED sets. It should also be noted that the OLED burn-in isn't traditional image retention, its actually...

    As far as I know, no one other than LG is making TV sized OLED panels. While they are selling panels to other manufacturers like Sony realistically LG controls the supply so their prices are likely the floor for the foreseable future.

    Altered Carbon

    I'd agree that the second book is a bit out of place, indirectly builds the world but the story doesn't really tackle anything relevant The third book though was where the series really explored the implications of the universe. I believe in the books there is some mention that cortical stacks...

    I haven't been watching a ton of Sing lately due to him mostly solo queuing, but he hasn't had an issues with ending up in low priority in a long time.

    Altered Carbon

    I'm wondering if it isn't an uncanny valley where some elements of the show are so close to the book while others are so wildly different its off putting. I think that is why I was OK with Dirk Gently as it had effectively nothing beyond the name in common with the books. At a certain point one...

    I had bought an x900e Black Friday, I let it do an update then set it aside unplugged for a week and it would never power on again. Took so long for Costco to arrange an exchange I decided to just return it, 3-weeks for delivery & 6 weeks of the box sititng in my living room sapped my interest...

    What did you just read?

    Funnily I was also going to suggest Hamilton and I would also agree that Sci-Fi hasn't undergone the same renaissance that fantasy has. Ready Player One is a fun burn as is The Martian if you haven't read those.

    Ghost in the Shell 8/10 - looks great, not constant action like most movies today. Shocked this didn't get better reviews, personally I'm of the fuck anime camp so have no attachment to the original.

    Altered Carbon

    Watching the behind the scenes trialer, unless I misheard or they mispoke it sounds like they decided to change Envoys into a group that fought the Protectorate to end immortality? I really hope they didn't fuck this up. I'm the opposite, I found Black Man to be mediocre and entirely...

    A Song of Ice and Fire - Book Spoilers Within

    Did anyone expect anything else? When I read Feast of Crows at release I realized he had no fucking idea what he was doing in 2005 and checked out of the series. No regrets nearly 13-years later and he's only managed 1 book.

    Bright (2017)

    I would watch a sequel but the move definitely needed exposition explaining the universe at the beginning instead of graffiti. They cribbed a lot from Fifth Element they should have copied the beginning too instead of setting up training day sequences. Why would he believe some crazy dude...

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    You two seem like you're talking with different units, General Antony said 100 mbps whilst others are using mb/s. Wikipedia says that UHD blu-ray specs 82, 108 and 128 Mbit/s depending on the disk size, so even with the small disk rip with protocol overhead you'd saturate a 100 megabit...

    Out of the blue its 33 (the coon) from Planet Dog / Hell Raisers / Kaipi. Can't see anyone having predicted that w/o insider knowledge.
