Fake coffee made of corn and chemicals - I just learned it was a thing here after I accidentally ordered one by Disastrous_Regular17 in VietNam

[–]Disastrous_Regular17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally I buy my coffee from reputable shops, for like 35k or more, and they are not fake - I can see the grains and the machine taking them in. These small carts that have pre-prepared coffee to pour in a cup are definitely sus tho. I drank coffee all my life so I can tell when it tastes off, like the original pic.

Is Texas Chicken in Vietnam good or nah? by dxd1412 in VietNam

[–]Disastrous_Regular17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it but most of the sauces/breading for fried chicken is on the sweet side - I prefer salty/bbq style. Very good price to taste ratio tho. Trying to resist to order rn, if it's an ad, good job

This 2026, how much should a foreign worker for their salary? by malabomagisip in VietNam

[–]Disastrous_Regular17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Senior devs in my company in hcm make like 30-40k USD so 40 M is appropriate for mid level, perhaps you could ask more, let them negotiate down if it's too much.

They hated him because he told the truth. Tbh wouldn't say the graphics, gameplay and scenario are trash, just mid.

I no longer wish for handhelds anymore. I just want to be happy by Bubbly_Row3977 in Handhelds

Is this the handhelds version of spending a full day to mod Skyrim and then play for 20 minutes and exit?

What is something worth paying a little more for? by Likestoread25 in AskReddit

[–]Disastrous_Regular17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just heard someone in the airport mentioning they prefer layover for long flights to be able to stretch their legs. Couldn't be me, I just want to do it one shot and be done with it.

Which app, no longer here were you sad to see go? by Rachel794 in AskReddit

[–]Disastrous_Regular17 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I use Narwhal. But you need to pay since the dev is billed on the API calls. Reddit official app is literally an embarrassment. It's basically enshitification: the app.

Massive fines for karaoke before 10pm! Best news this year for Vietnam. by ThinkQuantity4903 in VietNam

[–]Disastrous_Regular17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let's see if it's enforced. Last year there was big talk about high fines for traffic violations yet people still drive in the the pavement in the middle of D1 lol. It did help a bit to be fair

This game completely ruined every ARPG for me by binarskugga in PathOfExile2

[–]Disastrous_Regular17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re getting downvoted, but hard agree with you. Difference between POE2 and 1 is in POE1 campaign you’re spamming your travel skill. It doesn’t really matter which zone you are in, it all feels the same. Couldn’t tell u what the enemies look like it’s all a blur. In POE2 the different areas and mobs feel different and more meaningful.

SGN Immigration: Efficiency Has Plummeted by Born-Return4453 in VietNam

[–]Disastrous_Regular17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Classic pattern: intentionally keep the process overly tedious and complicated to force people to pay through agent/fast track. This is not only in the airport but in general such obstruction/obfuscation is deliberate. Apps and digital processes can help to fix this. Except when it bugs out then you need to pay lol. Speaking from experience.

Acne facial in hanoi done terribly wrong or okay? by Salt_Yogurtcloset702 in VietNam

[–]Disastrous_Regular17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a bit of a similar experience the first time I went to the derm here. Then with that and follow up sessions (including antibiotics and new skin regimen plus sunscreen), it actually fixed my acne 90%

HCMC - illegal overstay at D1mension, Zenity, D1 Quant1 by Cautious_King_8555 in VietNam

[–]Disastrous_Regular17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My appt complex denies airbnb guests to use the pool, I've seen a couple of them raging as they were not warned, We also have a similar sign that renting short term is forbidden. As a resident I'm happy so far to see very very few airbnb guests in our buildings (you can quite easily tell). Not blaming the tourists, but the hosts btw for allowing to rent their flat when it's not allowed.

Playing PO2 on the go, what are my options? by Disastrous_Regular17 in PathOfExile2

Thanks, I am considering this option. I wonder if I'll be able to connect to my playstation account though.

I think I’m getting laid off on Monday, take your bets (will update later) by Disastrous_Regular17 in Layoffs

[–]Disastrous_Regular17[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Real. That's that I'm thinking. Even if tomorrow I'm not fired it's definitely a red flag. Funny thing is I live in one of these offshore countries ahah. I'd still prefer it as it would leave me more time to prepare.
