3·
2 months agoI’ve had far less obnoxious people in deadlock compared to Dota. There was some smart decisions to have fewer defined “roles” and less emphasis on having one or a few players pop off with all the resources.
The game itself is so solid, has good balance, the movement and abilities are fun… It’s good. Some people are going to get annoying and sweaty in a comparative snowbally team game. I like to thank them for making my games a win-win. Either I get to win the game, or my obnoxious teammate gets to lose.
I too hate the average g*mer but I’m not going to let them steal my enjoyment.
At least in windows, the hosts file can point from any domain to any IP. In theory you can do things like point advertising domains to 127.0.0.1 if you wanted to make sure web requests never made it off your local machine. I did this a lot back in the day to test websites running locally but pointed to a friendlier name than localhost:randomport
