The failed dota Rip-offs always make me laugh because they all have the same slogan.

Tired of Dota? Try Yoga!! Tired of Dota? Try Eota!!! tired of Dota? TRY MAKING A NEW SLOGAN!!!

And the only thing different then all the Dota rip offs is the one letter that happens to be added or changed.
People who kick you for no good reason is great
also when you leave a game cause no one is joining then the host whispers you "why did you leave?"
Yea thats happened to me before and there is only 2 answers you can do to that
A) either ignore him and go on with life
B) or the response "because no one was F*&^ing joining the map."

Which reminds me of another annoying thing - people referring to things in a DotA context. Saying "pudge" instead of "abomination" or the map specific name of whichever unit has the abomination model, for example.

Oh god, that is the most annoying thing on battle.net.

omfg i just remembered something sooooooo stupid. I was playing heroes and empires, and offered alliances to everyone. Some people refused, I offered again, and again, a few people refused. I found green, asked why he wouldn't ally. No response. I sent an ally request. No response. I recruited my force of mercenaries to attack him, but first I sent one last ally request. No response. Then I levelled his army, but his workers and buildings lived because of the grace period. He says "CK gray." So I got custom kicked because I attacked my enemy. God that really aggravates me. Seriously, if you're going to not ally someone THEY'RE ENTITLED TO ATTACK YOU. And then here's the conversation that took place after his host-friend CK'ed me:
Crazed_Hobo: why'd you have me custom kicked? I offered an alliance several times
Bobmow: respect hte grace period
Crazed_Hobo:i did. Your buildings are invulnerable during that period, so are your workers. You couldn've stopped me by building towers and targeting my hero.
bobmow: respect the grace period please
Crazed_Hobo: did you read anything i just said? you could have used that to stop me, you could have built towers
bobmow: respect the custom kick please
Crazed_Hobo: which would be invulnerable
Crazed_Hobo: then you could have repelled me. If you wanted peace you should have allied, I told you how to use the grace period and what it does. Oh wait sorry I'm supposed to leave you alone and let you get an unfair advantage and then attack you.
<no response>
basically they wanted no conflict at all during the grace period apparently, yet they didn't specify that anywhere. In other words, his empire was supposed to have 10 minutes of unfettered growth to build an army that could smash other people easily, instead of playing the game how it should have been played. Sometimes I can really hate b.net. I think I need a hug.

I hate it when I join a game and am expected to know a certain, petty language.

Dramatized Example:

User 1: kk thx, bff bq?
User 2: wtf? no joo ffn!
Ninva: Guys, I have no clue what you're saying.
User 3: WTH GTFO NOOB!
User 1: lol no uber dotafags allowed, ur imbla.
User 2: ttfn gg newbie.
User 1: epic lulz banlist

The worst part is that the freshmen from high school would speak like this for a few months.

That's why I usually host my own games. It is too easy to accidentally run afoul of "host's friend" or break some unspoken rule.

JOIN IF YOU WANNA CYBER
i SHIP WEED, WHISPER ME //im serious, i saw this
HOST PRONZ // .....wtf

oh and blist is stupid. the only blist you have to be scared of are the official banlist hosts (which ive never seen so whatever), other than that, the chance that you bump into the same person is unlikely. if you do get on the "official" blist, make a new account. whoo hoo.


EDIT: oh and a very popular game name

STARCRAFT 2 DEMO AT STARCRAFT2z.COM!!!!

when you go to that website, it asks you to download zango or something which my antivirus detected as a trojan. -.-

They had a thread about this not too long ago. I think they closed and moved it somewhere now. I can't find it, but I didn't look too hard.

  • Varine Varine:
    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
