  1. PC Hotseat games

    Not hot seat but it can be played by two people on one keyboard, also happens to be the best game ever made in finland! http://www.liero.be/
  2. DOTA 2

    Patch is live. Thoughts?
  3. Wizard Jam 4 Feedback

    I am not a big fan of people uploading an empty submission just to have all of the pre-stream time to make a game.
  4. Welcome to Wizard Jam 4!

    Send a personal message with your email address to zerofityone here on the forums and he can hook you up with a slack invite
  5. I took a key, number three.
  6. Civilisation 6

    It does that if I tab out of it, or click on my second screen. Also I timed the first load of a new game yesterday. 3 minutes and 20 seconds, from SSD. Pretty sure it can load the entire game into memory in that time. What is it doing.
  7. Civilisation 6

    The hunt for exploits I can use to beat my girlfriend in LAN multiplayer has begun. Share yours.
  8. Duolingo - TWO LANGUAGE-O

    Yeah. Some examples: "Et rødt eple" (a red apple), "røde epler" (red apples), "en rød kvinne" (a red woman)
  9. Duolingo - TWO LANGUAGE-O

    My girlfriend is a course contributor for the Norwegian course. I have done some Spanish duolingo but I can't really keep up with it. You can ask me questions if you are too shy to use the duolingo forums. I can also answer questions about the Norwegian languages if you have any. I think Duolingo is a lot less algorithm-heavy than you think. There is a lot of manually adding words and sentences to match certain scenarios and concepts. If the course creators/moderators (volunteers) are lazy you will hit the same sentence multiple times with the intention of teaching you different things. As touched on by a different poster the duolingo website will explain various grammatical rules and language features to you quite well, but for some weird reason there is no way to read these descriptions on the mobile app.
  10. Elder Scrolls: Legends, Elder Hearthstone

    Never played Hearthstone myself, but I did play MTG a lot when I was young(er). I like this game.
  11. Getting a duplicate legendary doesn't get you 500 credits though? I think it should.
  12. Recommend a solution for my gaming setup

    Nvidia shield if you have an nvidia GPU? Wireless HDMI?
  13. The value is in quality for competetive games more than quantity. Good maps, good hero balance, good hero variety, good netcode, good matchmaking. Look at LOMAs like dota and LoL, there is only one map but it is extremely well made and iterated on over and over. One could even argue that having too many maps would be bad, as mastering the maps and knowing how to use the maps with your given Lord is what makes online battle arena games fun. Too many maps, and the fun part of the game is delayed as the time it takes to get familiar with the given maps is increased.
  14. dota2 has a no dupes system, if you buy 11 boxes of a box with 11 things in it you will get all 11 things.
  15. It's easy to get into without watching any videos or reading any tutorials, the in game one should be fine. I have not played any Paradox games before, if you ignore that time I tried to play CK2 for 4 hours then pressed delete local content because I didn't understand shit, and got into Stellaris pretty easily.
  16. I'm nj00s on uplay. I'm probably up for playing with people. Add me if you want.
  17. DOTA 2

    You can have two keybinds for the same item/spell. One quick, and one for noobs.
  18. DOTA 2

    Use quick cast for items.
  19. I have my IRC running in my private cloud. My presence is always lingering, yet I am never truly there. I am the ghost of #idlethumbs. I suspect many other denizens of IRC are in similar situations.
  20. Programming in General

    Kind of a steep learning curve going from JS to c++ game engine development, but I'm sure you can do it!
  21. Civ5 was a bit...meh in the beginning. Especially the multiplayer, that was completely unplayable.
  22. DOTA 2

    Looks a bit silly, if pushing isn't what you want to do, don't pick brood.
  23. The translator is speaking Norwegian btw. His pronunciation is also very good, but, BUT his tone of voice or pitch is quite off, which is probably what makes it sound strange. Words can get a different meaning if you change the pitch, so it sounds pretty weird. It's almost as if they hired a Norwegian and asked him to sound like an american? It is absurd.
  24. Programming in General

    Clojure is a boring lisp, instead blow your brain with some cool Haskell or Erlang.
