    Windows 10

    I complained about it earlier in the thread I think, something I have noticed is that active windows have a 1-pixel border. I will probably look at the StarDock windows blind stuff at some point, hopefully its stable.... Anyone else experiencing weird behaviour with snap? I've had issues...

    Windows 10

    Something I hadn't noticed on the beta, the Windows 10 sounds are fucking annoying. They also don't seem to relate to any of the sounds Windows has made since time immemorial, and they're obnoxiously long too.

    Windows 10

    I've never had an update break a system; this happening is almost certainly due to your system being infected by malware. Anyone actually getting the notification to install? On the two systems I didn't run the beta have not received notifications and AFAICT have not started to download files.

    DOTA 2

    I think Treant was the issue, their lineup lacked a good way to chip down the tower. Is anyone else bored of the meta? Too many of the same heroes every game, last year at least until late in the tourney we got to see a much greater variety of heroes and play styles.

    DOTA 2

    I think the issue was actually the Windranger, she takes too many items to deal serious damage I don't think I've seen any game where she has a high impact in quite a while. As I watched it I was thinking, imagine if this WR was a TA.

    I'm surprised analysts suggesting top-8 for CDEC, both MVP and Vega were able to take sizeable leads during times they were weaker and I don't think more than 1-2 teams in the group stage would make the mistakes that let them get back into the game. Edit: Was anyone able to get the dota2.com...

    DOTA 2

    No, the cast icon is missing from the twitch player. Attempting to cast from the browser widget just results in the purple ready to cast screen. Same behaviour on multiple PCs with different OSes. Works from Android however, if its working for others it might be CDN related.

    DOTA 2

    Hmm, I didn't check the android applications, only the web. Oddly I have noticed before that the web and android appear to cast different streams, at least with Sing the web cast will audio stutter (apparently due to a high frame rate?) whereas the android cast works fine.

    TI4 had a lot of interesting matches, just not at the end Whats up with Twitch disabling Chromecast for the TI streams. Stuck using Youtube which occasionally loses the video buffer, not a great sign for their gaming service supposedly launching this summer.

    Ranked mode isn't everything, I realized last year that the people in Normal are more chill and have mostly played that since. Unranked I play High/Very High Skill, whereas in ranked I'm in Normal Skill and when I play it the people are still assholes.

    Additional annoyance I've run into... Open start menu, type any search. Delete your search, note you are not back on the application list nor is there anyway to go back. Get f'd Microsoft.

    Windows 10

    AFAIK your RAM is only written to disk when the hibernate occurs and people aren't typically hitting the daily write rating anyway. Hibernation is interesting on systems with pre-Haswell CPUs, their sleep states weren't as efficient and at this point the batteries are a couple years old, so if...

    On the fast insider setting I had that build available this morning, took about as long to install as the original did. In case anyone is setting up a box, I compiled this list of stuff that annoyed me and how to change it: Disable Web Search Start, type random gibberish. Click Cog, turn...

    Windows 10

    I finally got a PC out and installed it. My impression as someone who dislikes 8(.1), I don't understand why people wasted time complaining about the icons when the entire OS looks like dogshit. I think if you had a problem with the aesthetics of Windows 8, you will not like Windows 10...

    2012? For me the last update made it usable again. Switching applications (and tabs in Firefox) is still slow but I can run at least one application at a time. There have been times previously where I wondered about finding a rom for the original shipping version (4.2?) and trying it as I...

    That isn't permanent. Rebooting or some interval causes the icon to reappear (with no notification). To be frank its almost like they're actively trying to piss people off.

    Better than you, go back and look at the grammar in your fucking comment. He's also a former pro-hon player. Are you watching qualifiers also? Well they are being paid to be experts, its not unreasonable to expect them to be reasonably knowledgeable.. How often in sports do you hear an...

    Bulldog doesn't cast or analyze. Draskyl is a pretty good at both. Any time I hear either Zyori or kotlguy (or both together /shudder) I wonder whether English is even their first language given how many words and phrases they use incorrectly. I'm surprised they're giving Nehaz a microphone...

    DOTA 2

    The amount of damage Sven can do while ulti'd if he can hit people is ridiculous, if multiple heroes are close together he can instantly kill a few with a single crit. He can also farm a lot faster with built-in cleave.

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    I bought Borderlands Pre-Sequel & Tales from Borderlands. Unfortunately I assumed Tales was a video game instead of a series of boring cut scenes, so I requested a refund.... I find there is an overwhelming amount of crap in the steam sales, too much to bother looking through so I only ever...

    I hope they mid bloodseeker against Zeus, I've played that as Zeus and it sucks dick. You can't spam out the seeker as you would with most heroes, eventually someone gets low and seeker just kills you in a couple hits.

    DOTA 2

    Ya to me the issue was that EG had no one to worry about other than Sven. It felt like the only heroes in fights that had an impact were Sven & Wisp, Zeus didn't seem to have damage (bloodstone+dagon did nothing, would be better to see refresher, aghs, octarine...), Tusk just randomly punched...

    Makes me wonder if techies is never picked on eastern servers. They even kept rocketing the area while kuroky was placing mines so they knew he was there. Also, someone take the mic away from nehaz.

    They had a huge amount of sustain w/ the wyvern, DK heart, etc. Basically Mouz didn't have the damage to burst anyone. I don't see how they can leave Leshrac as is, with octarine core he's virtually impossible to kill. I'm surprised we haven't seen Aghs on the hero, iirc its a 40% damage...

    I think Vici is hard to outdraft because Iceiceice is so versatile, but C9 has always been that way sometimes they're three steps ahead (think Drow+Visage a year ago) and other times they draft themselves into a corner. Having watched both the Redbull tournament VODs as well as the joindota...

    I think there are some scenarios where it might sense. I saw SingSing and bangfish use it successfully in a pub:, Sing was going ham on Ogre had a Bloodstone and Alch gifted Aghs at ~15 minutes. The only scenario I can think of in a pro game might be paired QoP, an early orchid + aghs could be...
