I'm a mega noob. I can only win when I rush the enemy and hope I can kill them before they kill me.

I make walls, castles, have an army, but I just cannot defend in this game at all.

Any defensive buildings I make get treb'd/mangonel'd/bombard cannon'd down with a deathball of units. In team games I am often throwing over 1000 units into a meat grinder to stop the push. It works like one out of every 15 times.

Other times, I just havea hole blown in my wall and 20 knights/mangudai run and kill all my villagers or trade. I build halberd, but the cavelry do the time tested strategy of running past them.

I've found that making small paths can slow them down, and get clogged up with my units before they get deep into my base. But then I'm pushed back and helpless from the treb/bombarbs

In open or closed maps, team or 1v1, it's the same deal. Although this issue is mostly in team games. Open maps I actually have a bit more of a chance because on closed maps people just wall off and boom and kill me

I want to make a mod where my villagers wear conical straw hats. Does this exist already?

If not then I'll make it myself. At least for when the villagers are farming

I'm picking Lion mid

I'm building tranquil boots

I'm losing lane

I'm queuing shadow blade

I'm ganking top

I'm giving Rubick finger

I'm feeding the rest of the game

I'm getting reported

Once upon a day, I was home from school. My math teacher just assigned really hard math homework. I got home and I decided hmm hey I will play some dota 2. Little did I know..... the horrors that awaited me.

I queued for a ranked game and after waiting for the queue, it finally started. But, someone ended the queue so I had to wait. "FUCKING DANG IT!!!!" I yelled at the screen. I re queued, and it happened again. I was getting pretty mad. Then, I queued again. The queue popped, and 1 2 3 4 5 6 7..... 8.... 9....... players accepted. Then, the 10th player turned red, because he declined. But, the match started anyways.

"Hmm that's really weird" I said. "It's probably just a weird glitch, the game is in beta haha" I joked to myself. I picked my best hero, lion, and the game soon started.

The map was really dark because it was night time in the dota game. But this time.... it was more than dark. "Probably just a weird update" I said. I walked to my lane, and started hitting creeps. Then... I saw him. The silencer.

I forcefully pressed the q button to stun him, but the stun didn't do anything. "WHAT THE FUCK THIS GUY IS HACKING!!!" I said in all chat. But, nobody replied..... I was all alone. And there was no reply....

I frantically tried to run away, but the silencer was slowing me. "RUN AWAY" I screamed at my screen, frantically clicking the ground, trying to make my Lion hero move away from the silencer. But it was too late... I died.

That's when I noticed.... the silencer wasn't a normal purple. He was RED like BLOOD. "WTF IS THAT RED SILENCER?????" I said in the chat. "You.... will die... in 3 days." I heard a voice over the microphone.

I started getting scared. "WHO ARE YOU????" I said to my screen. But there was no reply.......

I continued to play, and I was farming up my aghanims scepter. All I needed was my point booster.... 1000 gold, 1100 gold, 1150... and BAM i bought it. but, when my courier was bringing it to me, and I was about to get it, the red silencer appeared out from beneath the ground and killed my courier.

"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!" I screamed. There was no reply.... I checked my courier to see how long I'd have to fucking wait for my aghs... but that's when I saw it.

Instead of the death timer, the courier timer said "INFINITY". I checked my courier and it said that it was in HELL. That's when I started getting scared.

Then, a bit later in the match, we were pushing mid tower. But then..... everyone disconnected. Everyone except me... and the red silencer.

"You didn't listen..... now you will die.... in 3 days....". That's when I got scared. "Why are you DOING THIS???" I asked. But, before I could finish talking, silencer used global silence. And it stopped my voice in real life.

I started freaking out. I wanted to get away from him, away from the computer, to safety.... but then I'd have to abandon the game and I didn't want low prio. So I continued onwards.....

Eventually, we were forced high ground. And it happened again, everyone disconnected. Then, red silencer appeared on my screen, his face angry and scowling at me. Blood started dripping out the bottom of my monitor. I screamed and ran away from the computer. Luckily I had a clicked some jungle camps first

I saw the game end from across the room, my back against the wall. Red silencer laughed at me, and said "3 days.... you will die." Finally, the nightmare was over. I sighed a sigh of relief. "It wa probably just some hacker trolling me" I thought.

Then, I went to do my hard math homework. I opened up my notebook, and written in blood I saw:

"3 days...." - The Red Silencer

On liquidpedia it says ASL finals will be on May 24th 00:00 CST

I always miss them, can someone just tell me what time/day they'll be live for central US?

Edit: I got in

I foolishly forgot my root password; I have it written down, but I used a label printer that only uses capital letters. Therefore, I have my password printed as:

"BSD-MASTERKEY". The "-" character is either a "-" or an "_".

Every ssh attempt I get 3 chances before i have to attempt to reconnect. By default, does FreeBSD stop these attempts without alerting the connector? I have tried every combination of capitals for that password that I can possible think of.

Connecting to the server locally is not really an option. I have been logging each password I have tried and failed; But now, I worry that the system is auto-rejecting me without alerting me. Is there an ssh password attempt limit by default?

Anyone else playing Dota the head causing damage in the brain? Playing against hero the huskar in lane difficult causes death to the mental.

Anyone else playing Dota the head causing damage in the brain? Playing against hero the OD causing xp lost to the brain damage.

Anyone else revert brain damage? Dota 2 stop playing will brain damage revert?

Not sure how to phrase this question, so I'll explain WHAT I'm trying to do, so someone can help me find the best way how to.

I have a PC that is currently running Batocera. I want to instead run a more traditional distribution (Arch or Debian come to mind), and make my own "game machine".

I don't want to do this from scratch on a disk in that computer; Is there a way I can prepare a system with the necessary programs, configs, basically everything I want to have on it before installing it to the disk in the computer? Like could I prepare a system in a VM on my main computer, copy that entire system to an SSD, then boot into it on the other PC? What is the best way to do this?

Also, I would ideally like to have a "base system" that I can fall back to (basically a distribution with only the preinstalled programs I want).

I was at the water library and I saw Gaben writing in his journal. He got up to go to the bathroom. (I think he ate something bad because he ran quickly to the toilet and he was in there a long time)

When he was gone, I tiptoed up to his spot and saw he left his journal. The name of the book was "GABEN: MY TOP SECRET DOTA 2 JOURNAL". I got really excited but I had to be quick because I didn't want to get arrested if he saw me looking.

I flipped back to the page and that's when I saw what he had been writing about- the new upcoming Dota 2 hero, Pingle.

Gaben only had two of Pingle's abilities written down. The first one was one where he puts a ward on you and it allows you to fly, but if the ward dies you stop flying.

The other ability was like windrangers shard, where Pingle blows or sucks really hard in a large channeled aoe like Warlock.

I heard the doorknob rattling to the bathroom and I quickly put the book down and ran to my chair, and pretended to read a newspaper to hide my identity. I saw Gaben walk to the journal, then look around suspiciously before picking it up and walking outside to his newest yacht.

I saw him looking around with a telescope and I swear I saw him looking into the water library window looking for me but luckily I was hiding behind that newspaper

When you get pulled over speeding, police often ask something like "Do you know how fast you were going?"

Legally, what is the best way to answer? Is it an admission of guilt to say "yes"? Is it better to say "no", and sound like an incompetent driver?

How are you supposed to reply?

In the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, a character is forced to enter a spacecraft through an emergency airlock without a helmet.

In the movie, he exits a smaller craft and enters into an open airlock door of a larger craft, then repressurizes(?) the airlock from inside.

Is this a realistic scenario at all, or would one die/go unconscious within seconds in a real life situation? Would there be lasting damage to the body?
