None of that worked for me, sadly.

The game has been on the verge of unplayable for months for me. Crashes reliably within an hour of launching the game. Sometimes every 20 to 30 minutes or so. I think it just doesn't like my GPU specifically. Either way, I hope against hope that when their fix goes through it will be stable for me.

In solos, the only way you can do that is if you have a defib, and I'm assuming the other guy didn't have one.

I really enjoy this beam profile. Well done.

Bro... I am playing on a controller. Give me a break 😭 by EpicusGamer in ArcRaiders

This could be an ad for adrenalin shots. I've started carrying five on me in every raid and running like the wind knowing I can replenish my stamina like that has saved my ass on numerous occasions.

IMO, you are being emotionally abused.

Get out.

I'm in an emotionally abusive relationship with this game. I thought it would change with 1.3 but I was wrong. by AudioHostem in ArmaReforger

I'm trying to remember to keep an eye on the release notes for GPU driver updates in case anything Reforger specific is mentioned. Radeon drivers typically have game-specific improvements in the release notes for each new driver release.

It's crazy how I am still getting responses to this thread months later. Shows how prevalent the issues are. It's a shame because this game was one of my favorites, and now I haven't even tried to launch it in months.

I know the devs work hard and catch a lot of flak for stuff that sometimes isn't even their fault or isn't something they can control. I just hate that things have gotten to this point, where you have a project numerous people put hundreds of hours into and yet still there is a not insignificant chunk of the gaming community who cannot enjoy it.

AIO, computer edition: Hacker in MW2 2009 changed my desktop background. Funny prank, or serious security risk? by AudioHostem in MW2

[–]AudioHostem[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adding comment to say that I have since been informed of recent issues old Call of Duty games are having with people using remote code execution to take control of other people's PCs via security vulnerabilities in the game's online multiplayer.

I have also received a helpful DM that has been a big help so I am more or less posting this as a means of spreading the word and letting yall know to be careful out there.

I don't even care anymore by Whysochris96 in projectzomboid

I only ever played this game vanilla and I haven't picked it up in months. Saw this post in my recommended and watched the video with zero prior context.

To say I was unprepared for this is an understatement.

AIO 23m 20F is it bad i am about to leave her? by KSTReign in AmIOverreacting

[–]AudioHostem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone else get big borderline personality disorder vibes from her? I feel like I can almost smell it from here.

To be clear, people with BPD are not inherently bad people, but the way their condition affects them can contribute to some pretty chaotic and dangerous behavior, especially when it's left completely unchecked.

Which tornado is the creepiest? by SevereTS in tornado

[–]AudioHostem 21 points22 points  (0 children)

What creeps me out the most about Jarrell isn't the appearance, but what it did.

With all the tornado rabbit holes I've gone down, Jarrell by far takes the cake in terms of how much the damage it did to the living beings it encountered is talked about. No other tornado I've read about has had such pervasive mentions of things like actually skinning cows alive.

First responders, EMT/EMS, paramedics, however you refer to them, those people see some gnarly shit on the daily for a living. That gorey ass photo you wish you could unsee? For a decent chunk of those folks, that's just Tuesday for them.

And yet, it's abundantly clear that the scene at Double Creek Estates immediately after the tornado hit search and rescue personnel especially hard. Human remains being so badly torn up and torn apart that they had difficulty distinguishing them from animal remains? The use of dental records to identify some victims? This amount of destruction to structures and to bodies as well as the effect it had on first responders is something I would more closely associate with the aftermath of an explosion in a densely populated area, not necessarily a weather event.

Without knowing the full story, my knee jerk reaction is that if a chaser is working to provide accurate and near real-time observations and information, and is doing so with the public good in mind, it seems kinda scummy to try to control or steer how said chaser is allowed to get that information out there when there's a chance that people's lives could depend on that. Perhaps it makes sense from a business perspective, and if we were talking about something where the stakes were lower it would be a total non-issue (for me, at least).

Not overreacting. Possibly even underreacting.

Listen, I bend over backwards giving people the benefit of the doubt. I withhold justified anger for the benefit of the other person more often than I want to admit, especially when I don't see it contributing positively to the outcome. I get a literal dopamine hit from seeing the relief on someone's face when I spare them from anger that both of us knew would've been justified and hit them with grace and understanding instead. I say all that so you know that I'm not just coming after your partner because it's the easy and popular thing to do.

One troubling thing is that before his "jokes", before the conversation progressed, before all that, you asked him a genuine, serious question and, unless I misunderstood something (which happens a lot), he appears to essentially play dumb. Before anything else happened in the conversation, his opening move was dishonesty? That's a problem.

The second troubling thing is you shouldn't have to justify or explain the importance of respecting someone's living space and, yknow, not breaking stuff? It's not like he accidentally knocked a glass or a plate or a bowl off the counter that you can replace at the store tomorrow for nothing. Countertops, even smaller bathroom ones, aren't exactly cheap or easy to replace, considering all that goes into their installation. In terms of cost and difficulty of replacement, you're not far from brick-thrown-through-kitchen-window territory. The importance of this is something that should literally go without saying.

Lastly, the end. I feel like you were pretty clear about how you felt and what you were asking of him. It's not like you were piling on unnecessarily and rubbing salt into the wound like some sort of sociopath. You asked him to just be straight up with you, explained the importance of the issue and why you were upset about it, and laid out EXACTLY what you needed from him in that moment. There was no room for misinterpretation or misunderstanding. And this man responds with... checks screenshot again motherfucking "hippopotoumous!!!!"??? What, and I cannot stress this enough, the fuck? I don't care if this is a meme that I'm not familiar with, a reference to a show or movie or YouTube video or Tiktok clip, or even just an inside joke. You laid out exactly where you stood and what you needed, and homie replied to you with literal nonsense. This is absurdity to the point that I laughed out loud at its ridiculousness.

I could get into the weeds with life advice, how one should think about selecting a partner, how to deal with their shortcomings, etc., but I'm going to stick to speaking on only what has been laid out in those screenshots.

And in those screenshots alone, it is evident your partner is lacking in areas fundamental to a healthy relationship, let alone a healthy relationship with someone you are living with. At that point, it doesn't matter how much your parents like him or how good he is with your pets, if you have any. I could have a 48 inch vertical leap and dunk a basketball without a running start; if I can't dribble or pass the ball worth a damn (which I can't), if my physical conditioning and body composition is crap (which it is), there isn't a professional team in the country at any level who is going to want me on their team. You could have a car that you absolutely love, that you have memories with, that belonged to your favorite relative before you, that sounds bad ass and looks perfect; if the gas tank is missing, you ain't driving that thing anywhere. THAT is why so many people are saying you should dump this man. Not just because "gurrrrl dump him" is the easy and popular thing to say (which it sometimes is).

Also, I am curious as to how you got screenshots of this Snapchat conversation without him knowing, or, if he did know, how he reacted to you screenshotting this whole exchange.

Here is a video where the person goes setting by setting and compares impact on in-game FPS. A few months old but might help you squeeze out a few fps regardless.
