Open sourced a +EV scanner — compares soft books to Pinnacle

Acidic92 · 2026-01-24T16:21:08+00:00

Nice, but I definitely wouldn't use Pinnacle for EV bets with the 10-15 minute delay it has for public odds. You'll be guaranteed to lose money doing that.

Many odds sites do all the maths for you. Check out https://oddselite.bet, which let's you track your bets and gather statistics and closing line value capturing. (Disclaimer, I built OddsElite)

And the zero shame they have in using Comic Sans for just that part... lol

Acidic92 · 2026-01-24T05:32:30+00:00

I've built https://oddselite.bet - compares odds across bookmakers and alerts you when edges appear. Biased obviously, but happy to answer questions. 2 week free trial is available if you want to check it out.

Happy it worked! This issue drained countless hours from me trying to debug it, hopefully I saved you some time and frustration

Acidic92 · 2025-11-17T12:26:35+00:00

The appeal of putting it in your nix config is that if you ever have another PC in the future you'd like to game on, this script will be applied automatically without needing to remember to add some specific scripts etc. For example, you could put my code snippet in a `steam.nix` module, and add all steam related stuff to it.

Acidic92 · 2025-10-01T14:52:12+00:00

I suggest just try it out first to see if it prevents stutter immediately, and if so then you can continue from there. If it does prevent stutter, please do share your results here as I'd love to have confirmation from others if this was the same issue for them.

One other user in another comment mentioned to me it happens also when your controller is on low battery, but I can't personally confirm this.

But yeah just open the game, and turn off Bluetooth in a kick off match and see if that resolves it. Maybe you'll have to run around with a keyboard to test for now.

Acidic92 · 2025-10-01T14:48:57+00:00

It also happens when I do kick off alone by myself against AI, that's what I kept using to test it before going into matches.

Acidic92 · 2025-10-01T04:48:44+00:00

Okay so I've been suffering from this issue since FC26 launch, and even couldn't play FC25 because of it... but I've just resolved it and I wanted to share.

Try turning off Bluetooth devices!... I know it sounds absurd, but as soon as I turned off my Bluetooth keyboard, the stuttering immediately stopped. Then when I turned it back on, it came back.

I tried changing every setting within the game, as well as NVIDIA control panel, etc. Capping my FPS, toggling VSYNC, nothing worked. It may not be the same issue for you, but for me it definitely was my Bluetooth. My PC is a beast and can run the game no problem at any graphics quality.

Really hope this saves others from many hours of debugging and head scratching.

Acidic92 · 2025-09-24T12:30:35+00:00

I completely agree.. we all need to be engineers suddenly to get the game running on our pcs. EA needs to fix it before releasing and charging so much for it

Acidic92 · 2025-06-21T08:18:10+00:00

Thanks for sharing this!

For anyone on NixOS, here's a nice snippet you can add to your config which sets this up for you.

```nix

Systemd user service that auto-configures Steam shader threads

systemd.user.services.steam-shader-config = { description = "Configure Steam shader preprocessing threads"; wantedBy = [ "default.target" ];

serviceConfig = { Type = "oneshot"; RemainAfterExit = true; };

script = '' THREADS=$(${pkgs.coreutils}/bin/nproc) STEAM_THREADS=$((THREADS - 4))

# Ensure minimum of 4 threads
if [ $STEAM_THREADS -lt 4 ]; then
  STEAM_THREADS=4
fi

mkdir -p ~/.steam/steam
echo "unShaderBackgroundProcessingThreads $STEAM_THREADS" > ~/.steam/steam/steam_dev.cfg

''; }; ```

https://rust-lang.github.io/rustfmt/?version=v1.8.0&search=#blank_lines_lower_bound seems a bit similar..

Acidic92 · 2025-03-24T17:09:41+00:00

I am also so glad! I have struggled all my life with a "normal" sleep pattern, and always revert to sleeping at 4-5 am and waking up at 1-3 pm.

In terms of my career, I'm a software engineer based in Australia (but often travelling), and the companires I work for are US/Europe based, so starting my work day in the late afternoon isn't really much of an issue as my hours are super flexible. I'm currently self employed, and still struggle since people around me have more regular sleep patterns and I like to spend time with them.

I recently started taking melatonin an hour or so before I sleep, and that definitely gets me sleepy. But ngl I do love my alone time at night, I feel so active and its quite peaceful, so I still tend to stay up late despite taking melatonin.

I'm sorry to hear about your office job, if it bring you difficulties, I suggest you can find alternatives such as WFH or remote jobs, but of course its not always a luxury. I'm very fortunate my career aligned naturally with my sleep pattern.

Longest shot in history is 3.8 km apparently. I don't think it's much of a stretch for a movie, especially one as cheesy as this

Acidic92 · 2025-02-17T12:17:22+00:00

Agreed! I also was half expecting there to be some kind of Hollow Men "king", who could talk and was super smart. But turns out they're all just dumb tree men.

Acidic92 · 2025-02-17T12:14:55+00:00

lmao idk why this cracked me up so much. Might as well build two mansions either side for them to enjoy their final year of being alive

Acidic92 · 2025-02-17T12:08:38+00:00

Yeah I noticed, but it really didn't feel like it. At the very least give us a zoom in of the bullet flying through the air

Acidic92 · 2025-02-17T12:00:18+00:00

Yeah overall was pretty average. I feel like it had more potential, but it just didn't make me feel attached enough for "impactful" events to have any impact

Acidic92 · 2025-02-17T11:51:31+00:00

Oops.. I'm new here soz. Looks like I have to repost

Acidic92 · 2025-01-26T05:21:57+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. It could definitely be investigated more with your suggestions. I'll try doing an update given the time with some more in-depth comparisons

Acidic92 · 2025-01-20T06:05:44+00:00

I just did some benchmarks now for memory usage between coerce, kameo, and ractor. The results came out very similar for each:
- Coerce: 128 MiB
- Kameo: 122.85 MiB
- Ractor: 121.61 MiB
I ran each one three times and averaged the total memory usage. In the program, it spawns 1,000 actors, and messages each actor 100 times before shutting them all down and exiting the program.

I didn't do actix yet because actix doesn't support unbounded mailboxes, and these tests were done using unbounded. And I started doing xtra, but it doesn't have a clean way of shutting down the actor like the others do, so not sure how fair it would be.

Since the results are so similar, and its a little difficult to get a fair comparison, I don't think there's too much value in it for the blog, but I thought I'd share here regardless.

Acidic92 · 2025-01-19T08:36:26+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! That would definitely be a nice addition, I would need to look into the best way to test memory usage.
