Ladies and gentlemen, it is currently three degrees Celsius in Canberra and the surrounding area before wind chill. We suggest you purchase a warmer hat, because otherwise by the end of winter I don't like the chances your ears won't freeze off.

Did I ever tell you guys I love cold weather? Because I love cold weather.
I was about to go "wtf 3 degrees in May" then I remembered where Canberra was. Hurr durr.

Failed uni and burned my pasta, all in one day. Now I'm hungry and in a horrible mood.

Well, I've failed a module, and hence the year. Unless I can fix and finish this game, then wrote the report on it, in less than 5 hours.

To my knowledge, it's not capped, but I'll be moving back home for the summer, where it's capped at 20GB. Gonna be weird.

In the US a biscuit is a small baked bread, often but not always a yeast-less variety.

A dumpling is a boiled lump of dough.

Looks like someone fucked up cooking scones and threw up on them.

I made my first successful biscuits and gravy this morning.
Why do you all keep perfecting stuff with gravy :D
ftfy
I've got to be missing something. How do you mess up biscuits and gravy? You take gravy, heat it up, pour over biscuits. Where's the problem? Or is this another American thing where you're giving a thing something else's name?

I have a thread here with some people interested. Sadly our GM appears to have lost interest, though.

I really need to shower, eat a few good meals, get a decent night of catch-up sleep, and let my right hand recover a bit.

Sure, throw together a character concept. I'm gonna PM Grakelin and make sure he's still up for this.

Sniper's Shrapnel also appears to damage towers, which is an interesting discovery in and of itself.  Not much damage, mind, but some.
Yeah, I saw a video where a team gave away Sniper in a WTF mode Atod tournament. Cue 4 minutes of "WOOSHRAPWOOSHRAPWOOSHRAP" and gg.

One big flaw:

We don't use EM impulses. We use ions. Most commonly, K+ and Na+ ions moving into and out of neurons, producing little waves of changing charges (It's more complex, I'm trying to put it imply, since the whole thing needs quite a wall of text).

Basically, no EM radiation or electricity is used. Simply positive ions. Which are sorta the inverse of electricity, since electricity is electrons, which are negative, and positive ions are... positive.
This is so WTF false I don't know what even. It's like listening to my girlfriend reiterating the next big new age guru bullcrap. ARRGHHGHGHBLBL
Buh? That's high-school level Biology, man. How is it false?
I presume for similar reasons that they teach you a lot of nonsense in high school level physics: It's wrong, but fairly close to being right and a lot simpler.

Yeah, Slark actually regens FASTER than a heart, and the movespeed is absolutely crazy.  His leap is great both as an escape (disjoints projectiles) and as a nuke/semidisable (and although it's a skillshot, it can't hit creeps).  Dark Pact is bloody AWESOME as if you're just a bit lucky/smart you can cancel any and all disables coming your way when you first charge in (also works on dust, which means even if someone dusts you when you're shadowdancing you can just shrug it off and go back to being combat invisible).  And his essence shift passive is of course just ridiculous later on in the game when you've got some major attack speed.

Furthermore, he can be used to sniff out enemy wards, as his ultimate will deactivate the passive when he passes under any kind of enemy surveillance.

And I see so many Slarks not taking Dark Pact until last.

His leap is great both as an escape (disjoints projectiles)
Glorious.

Phantom Lancer is an absolute beast in the late game.
  • Get boots of tranquility and stay alive
  • Farm creeps and swarm junglers for megacash. NOTE: Clones can clone themselves thanks to your passive ultimate, so feel free to run away.
  • Buy Manta Style (bonus damage for clones) and Heart of Tarrasque (56hp/s!)
  • ???
  • DOTA Episode 2: The clone wars
There's a good reason he's almost invariably picked or banned by the pros at the moment. Also, get a diffusual blade and watch as people's mana pool disappears. An enemy Shadow Demon becomes their hard carry, though.

I see a lot of pubbers with dust and/or sentries. Sadly few gems, though. People underestimate how useful they are.
