  • It’s worth trying Dota2, you just have to be okay with losing a lot of your matches at the start until you learn the ropes.

    I like to recommend Lina as a good hero to learn with, she has two strong AOE spells but can also build high regular attack damage. More importantly though her stun has a short delay which can really help you learn timing and predicting enemy movements. She’s also a fairly squishy intelligence hero which can teach you safer lane positioning in the early game. She can be a strong mid but also a decent support or lane pusher depending on what your team needs.

    While learning all the heroes is great in the long run I think it’s best to stick with one hero until you get a feel for the game. After that any time you fight a hero that is dominating and feels completely broken just make it a point to try and play that hero next to learn its weakness.




  • I don’t think Lemmy is too confusing to use but I do think it’s poorly explained. Most people new to a server are only looking at two things:

    1. Overall content on the front page and how effective its filtering is.
    2. A topic specific community they are interested in.

    But when they begin see the content can be vastly different from server to server and the topics they care about can be split into many communities on different servers they aren’t sure how to access what they want and lose interest.







  • The Cube.
    Most people saw it as an average horror movie where a bunch of people try to get out of a giant torture box. But there was a pivotal scene that stuck with me where one of the prisoners realizes he helped build part of it. The whole thing wasn’t some intentional torture device but just a bunch of people doing their day jobs that were lost in a bureaucracy not ever questioning what their work was creating.
    A stark reflection of society and the systems we create and the dangers of not ever looking at the bigger picture.

    Of course they proceeded to shit all over this idea in Cube2 where it ended up being just another evil government experiment.
