Not sure how to change it, but I think I know why.

When you lock, the time until the screen turns off goes right down to a couple of seconds - you can stop this by wiggling you mouse or pressing a button like normal. This is different to sleep where it uses very little power and the state is moved to memory - background process will still be running when the screen is off.

You may be able to adjust this in the GUI by changing when the screen goes off in settings, but I have not tested.

I got interested myself and did a quick search, but it doesn’t seem like Riot have live stats unfortunately. I would expect League of Legends to have more players, but I don’t think it would be that huge, especially considering how popular Dota is in non-western countries.

I also find it funny how if you search something like “dota vs lol player count”, most of the spammy sites just compare the number you gave or even worse comparing Dota’s 1m peak concurrent per month vs League’s 150m total a month.

There also seems to be a disparity in the number of accounts that most players have per game (smurfs) making this probably not worth the time to research!

Is that daily player count concurrent or total for the day? If it is the first, I don’t think these figures are comparable.

As someone who lives in Wales and drives, cycles and walks around daily, I think this is a great policy, but poorly communicated and has been a target by populist politicians which has fed into the discontent.

Many people speed and break the limit anyway regardless of the speed limit. In my experience about 80% of cars will be sticking to 20 - either abiding by the limit or stuck behind someone keeping to it. The majority of people speeding will only speed up to ~30mph, which will be less than what they’ll be speeding if the limit was at 30 originally.

It may vary by council, but I personally can’t think of any roads near me that could do with reverting back up to 30 (that haven’t already). Some main roads will still be 20, but then there are schools and residential on these roads which doesn’t make sense to revert - but some people will still complain.

Personally I don’t think this policy will ever have national popular support. It is a policy that directly affects someone’s day to day rather than a stat which makes it a perfect candidate for people to complain about (potholes are similar). This is despite polling also saying that the vast majority support 20 outside their own house (but outside other people’s houses should be reverted?).

I am kinda sick of how much this policy is brought up. It seems like every month there is a new article critiquing the limit and it is getting quite repetitive.

Even their first game C9’s team fight looked fairly decent - just completely outmanoeuvred on the map in terms of farm. Maybe the team fights might’ve gone the other way if they had a vessel or something to counter the insane spell lifesteal on 33.

Liquid looking amazing, but so has other teams in the past and cracked in the grand finals. Insania definitely deserves the title tho.

I unfortunately haven’t been able to catch as much of the dotes as I usually do, but I absolutely agree that C9 squad is great to watch. Ever since the original Creepwave stack with Crystalis carry they’ve been pretty exciting.

I heard one of the analysts mentioning that these funky picks are not necessarily that good, but just the fact they push the opposition to deviate from their practised and revised strategy causes them to make mistakes. Can’t see Liquid faring too badly however.

Looking forward to the Liquid - Cloud 9 game later. Both teams looking hot.

You would’ve hoped that this kinda thing would be communicated with the team’s management prior to this announcement, being this close to TI.

The more recent tourneys have been streamed on Youtube too if you don’t like the Twitch experience as otherwise suggested. If you search for the tournament organiser, then you should find videos on their channel. E.g. the latest Dreamleague is all on ESL’s channel in full under the live tab here: https://youtube.com/@esldota2

Nah the BLM protests that Farage mentioned. Not too sure which specific ones he is chattin about, but the George Floyd protests would have been her in 2020.

Wasn’t she Home Secretary during these protests? If so, it sounds like she is just defending her own track record.

I wonder whether this is the reason Sunak called the election early - try and avoid the problems catching up while still in power.

Well that came out of nowhere. Especially seeing they’ve been hyping up every patch recently.

Considering their progressive stance towards hiring prisoners and providing them skills, I am personally quite happy with the appointment.

Their last two Labour MPs not only were kicked out in scandal, but also ran in this election splitting the vote. It looks like the Lib Dems also got a significant vote share which has helped the Tories.

I believe most of those are mayors in their official garb.

They are funded by an organisation called Climate Organisation Fund of which is funded by someone called Aileen Getty who’s family own Getty Oil.

Whether or not they are wanting to create a false narrative is questionable. I personally don’t think so, but who knows…

Still had them in 2019 in North Wales. They served the cider with squash to make them a bit more tolerable :D

Yes I agree, rejoining the EU seems to come up quite high in opinion polls when that is the sole question, but the parties that are supporting this are not.

Apart from FPTP, I reckon another factor is that people are just sick of hearing about Brexit. It has been in the news cycle continuously for years. I don’t think it is enough of an issue to be a vote winner compared to Lab/Con focusing on generically growing the economy and talking about migrants etc. I just think back to that clip of Brenda from Bristol after news of the Theresa May snap election and reckon that is where most people are at in terms of Brexit.

I think this is down to FPTP really.

I would love to vote Plaid or Green, but I would rather prevent the climate change-denying, homophobic, racist Tory from keeping his safe seat by voting Labour.
