    "and you know me in real life to make that comparison?"

    He assumes that from the context in which you have said something stupid, that's how real life associations work. Whether it was supposed to be a semi-joke or not is kinda relevant in that regard, though.

      i like writing lengthy comments

      ik that sooner or later someone gonna correct a mistake i made. even if it's with a lot of flame like "fucking 2k noob" "kys pls" i learned something all i have to lose is a bit of my pride, which is dispensable. i think it's a good trade

        Writing something long =/= learning something, especially if you are trying to wordcoach another noob.

          But I'm sure all of the NS players who writes off wall of text are open to critics and other thoughts

            This is a question about splitting up. My girlfriend has been irrational and cruel; we’ve actually split, but I want to explain to her that her emotions and the way she reacts aren’t the fault of other people, only she can control her reactions. I’ll give you an example of something that happened earlier this year. This is by no means the only thing. I fully understand that I am soft and an easy push over.

            I took my girlfriend away for a long weekend with some friends to France. We arrived at the hotel on the Friday afternoon and met my friends for drinks, they invited us out for dinner but we were too engrossed in each other and we didn’t leave the room. We made love that night and again in the morning. We went out the next day with my friends and had lunch. At that point one of my friend’s wives asked which cocktail dress another was going to wear that night to dinner. I hadn’t been told it was a black tie dinner, I had a lounge suit and my girlfriend had a nice dress but not a cocktail dress. She was obviously upset. We got back and she wound herself up to the point where she said we can’t go to the dinner. I went down to the bar where my friends were and I said “we’re not coming” explaining the issue. Several of the guys told me that their wife or girlfriend also didn’t have a cocktail dress, they didn’t like them or just didn’t own one. I went upstairs and told my girlfriend and she agreed to come down for dinner.The elevator arrived in the lobby and the doors opened, I was nearest so I exited first, I was two steps into the lobby when she screamed “I can’t do this”, got back into the elevator, the doors closed and she was gone! I was flabbergasted. My friend’s wife went after her but couldn’t find her, the room door was locked and I had the key. I went to look for her, couldn’t find her, I asked the desk staff to let me know if they saw her and I went down to the banqueting hall, the last to arrive, to be told to relax, she was there.

            My friend’s wife had found her and lent her a dress, apparently she was hysterical before appearing for dinner, it was all my fault and she said other things about me that my friends wife wouldn’t tell me. We ignored each other for a while but as the conversation around the table flowed we began to talk and by the end of dinner we were talking normally, as though nothing had happened. I was being weak because I was in love. Most guys I know would have finished the relationship right there, but I was also confused. We left the table and she said she was going straight to the room and not coming for drinks with everyone. Possibly too embarrassed, but still making out that it was my fault. I went for drinks with my friends with every intention of dumping her in the morning. I eventually got back to the room to find her naked in the bed.I ignored her until the morning because I was still fuming. When it was obvious I was awake she asked me if I wanted a cuddle. Really, I wanted to dump her right then, but then I thought about how awkward the drive home was going to be. We had the most exciting sex I’ve had for 20 years; it was amazing. Was she guilty for her behavior the night before? I dared not talk about what had happened because I was scared she’d dump me. Now that I’ve finally finished with her I want her to understand that her reaction was not normal, and it really wasn’t my fault, she has to take ownership for her actions and re-actions. How can I do this without the emotion turning it into an argument or a session of criticism?

                What the Shadow Realm did you just fucking say about me, you little low level duelist? I'll have you know I graduated top of Obelisk Blue in Dueling Academy, and I've been involved in numerous secret duels in Battle City, and I have over 300 confirmed Blue-Eyes White Dragons. I am trained in Duel Monsters warfare and I'm the top Duelist in the entire Kaiba Corporation. You are nothing to me but just another Kuriboh. I will summon monsters with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Duelist Kingdom, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the other side of the Arena? Think again, Pegasus. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of friends across the globe and your mind is being crushed right now so you better switch to defense mode, and defend your life points. The Dark Hole that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call a field. Your girlfriend is dead, you fruit booty anime villain. I can be two people anywhere, anytime, and I can end this duel in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my Celtic Guardian. Not only am I extensively trained in ancient Egyptian, but I have access to the Millennium Items of the United States Army and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable Toon World off the face of the Battlefield, you little weirdo. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little Millennium Eye comment was about to bring down upon humanity, maybe you would have held your cards in hand. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, Pegasus. I will unleash fury all over the arena and then I will Mind Shuffle in it. You're fucking dead, Pegasus.

                  GG
                  "Good Game"

                  1. A polite remark uttered after the end of a round, game, or other measured interval to indicate that a match was fair and enjoyable. Usually uttered collectively by the occupants of a game server. The opposite of BG

                  2. A condescending remark, often uttered by somebody who does not know meaning 1, and is simply repeating what others have told them.
                  1. At round end:
                  <Volmarias> gg
                  <Rill-a-roni> gg
                  <Dagashi> gg
                  <Asno> gg
                  <Tard> gg

                  2. "OMG WUT DO U MEAN IM CHEATIN U JUST SUK FEGS HAHAHAHA GG UR SERVER IS GAY"

                    ITT: People acting like learning how to play dota effectively is completely unrelated to learning anything else, and intelligence is completely unrelated to a task that consists primarily of information collection, decision making, and simple routine tasks

                    Riguma Borusu

                      ^More intelligent people are very likely to be better at games in general because they also happen to be better at any activity that involves utilization of said intelligence. That's a no brainer. But, likewise, just because somebody is intelligent, that does not mean that are going to be as good at dota as they are at other things that also require intelligence. Some people might be able to solve really complex math problems, but at the same time be terrible at DotA for other reasons (too little experience, not enough dedication, no intention of actually learning to master the game, etc).

                      Therefore, it's kind of important to realize that the part intelligence plays in this "how good at dota are you" question can both be overstated and understated. If you simply lack the intellectual capability to, as you say, collect information, make fitting decisions and perform routine tasks, you are going to have a harder time than somebody who has. But likewise, being good at those things does in no way imply you're going to take such a rigid and efficient approach to winning a game.

                      While you can look at every DotA game as an optimization function and try to find the most efficient way to win it, you can also just not give a fuck and play whatever, without putting much thought into anything. And this part has very little to do with intelligence and very much to do with motivation. I should know because I really don't try to get much better, I spam a few heroes, don't ever play cautiously enough, however much I get better by time simply happens passively through muscle memory and reflex/intuition practice that happens on its own, kind of subconsciously, and even though I can win a lot of ranked matches, I just didn't play ranked for a very long time because I didn't feel I had to, and didn't want to ruin games by going yolo and doing stupid shit just because I want to. I never hit a ceiling and said "shit, I am never going to leave this bracket" because I was never motivated to go high enough, and I am constantly going up, but I do understand that some people are going to be 3k even after 10k games whether because they really lack intelligence, or motivation to actually get better, to such a degree that even passive practice doesn't help them leave the bracket.
