Every now and then I'm hearing a somewhat loud scratching/screetching noise from my pc build. I don't have the best fans, but I also have oldish drives. How can I tell if the sound is from a fan scraping against something sometimes or if it's from a hdd that's about to fail and needs to be backed-up asap??

I have windows 10 if that's relevant.

Howdy, DOTA2 addict here, 10k hours, highest possible rank, and I'm pretty much done with this game. I plan to maybe pop in and fuck around every so often after I've gone a year without playing, but I will never again grind for mmr, and I definitely want to get that year without it under my belt. I'm still cool with myself playing some witcher or dishonored 2 after a long day because those games are more relaxing and easy to just save and stop playing whenever I decide it's time because I'm not locked into a hour long game that punishes me for wanting to stop playing (and then if I win, ya know, of course I'm queing for another, and if I lose I obviously have to get back at the world for mak

heard here first friend

There was a ton of hype for it, I've been kinda enamored by it, and now I haven't heard it mentioned in forever. Have ya'll got your hands on it? What'd you make? What's this camera do well and what does it do poorly?

It's scary. I have a ton of things I need to do, want to do even. Habits to change, things to give up, things to start doing, but it's all so much. I can't decide where to begin, quit weed? Smokes? Start exercising? Quit video games? Join groups I want? Do this that and the other thing for my career? I can't do it all at once, I'm not strong enough, but I also can't keep up with this analysis paralysis and stay the way I am. How does one get started?

No more fucking around here. I have one year to go from shut-in idiot without anything worthwhile going on to actively pursuing my dreams and funding them myself. Parents are pulling the plug on me, as they should. I'm ready for it, I can do it, I have everything in place to go live my life the way I envision it... but only if I stop gaming. Only if I can stop spending like 8 hours a day high off my ass playing pointless videogames. If I spent even half those hours, I'd be living my dream already, but instead I'm here, with a deadend job and meager savings account. A little more saving and managing my physical/mental health and I'll be ready to take the leap into a new industry, but I have t

If the enemy doesn't block their creeps, oftentimes they can get the creeps underneath your tower for wave 1 if you block really hard and they don't at all. I get what physically happens, but how about from a strategy standpoint? How does this action of not blocking make the lane play out? What heroes/matchups like to do this? How can you counter it? (I suppose the question is more about pushing/creep-equilibrium in midlane generally, but the opening part is the most enigmatic to me. 5k btw). Thanks fam, gg re

I go roughly the same build every game with some hero dependent variants, but usually auila+band -> phase -> mom -> dl/maelstrom -> maelstrom/dl -> bkb/pike -> pike/bkb

After that it really depends on the game... Thing is, I go this same build even if I'm super behind or super ahead. All that changes is dl/maelstrom and bkb/pike order. Sometimes I'll be like 9-0 at 20 minutes, what is a good item to grab that lets sniper snowball? I usually go for pike because stats are always good and the mobility earlier on buffs the hero, but it doesn't have a huge impact overall. Daedalus leads to enemies buying evasion items and you being very gankable. Deso doesn't matter against som

I've been doing pretty alright at videography, got a little business, got a film degree, but I don't see it getting me where I want to be, which is on the camera team for cool films and docs. You can shoot all the sports recruitment and real estate in the world and nobody is going to let you DP their film. I use dslrs, all these crazy grip rigs you see online are full of stuff I don't even recognize yet alone know the specific model. Sure, I know about all the cine cameras from many hours spent drooling over spec sheets and test footage, but I've got like 5 hours experience with an Amira and that's it. I'm clueless. I can hardly rationalize dropping $50,000 on things I don't even know how to

These are the facts, and unless I get it down to at most twice a month my life is going to continue this downward spiral. Yesterday I had a great day, stuck to my schedule, and got everything done. Sober. So I decided to reward myself at the end of the day not with meditation and a good book, but with pot and some good ole Dota 2 (video games). The 2 hours I planned for relaxing at the end of the day turned into 7 FUCKING HOURS! And I was up until 4am getting high as hell and playing games. It was sort of fun, but here I am the next day, groggy, sleepy, bored, unproductive, and already out of time in the day to get done what I need to get done. I hate this. All I want is to follow my schedul
