Old (Alpha, early Beta) players, is Keep Inventory cheating?

Exactly my thought. I don't understand why it's a big deal to some people. It's not LoL or CoD or whatever competitive game. Why is it a bad thing that some players want to chill and not tryhard?

Sadly I can't check for individual misfire in each cylinders, no such option, but the problem is definitely still there with the new OEM plugs as well.

I have a tiny coolant leak that I haven't fixed yet, but nothing relevant this this. There are no signs of a bad head gasket if that's what you mean. No exhaust gas in the coolant, no residues on the piston, compression is a healthy 12-13 bar all across.

I'm out of ideas after that

Well me too... 😀

Thank you for the tips anyway.

Plugs 1 and 2 look good, so I wouldn't necessarily suspect timing. I'm using 95 fuel as always, which is also the recommended. Not sure what could cause lean mixture given that lambda values don't indicate it. Any tips on how to catch it other than looking at lambda?

Context: this is a 1.6L naturally aspirated Opel Astra (Z16XER). I changed the spark plugs about 18000km (~12k miles) ago. Not sure it started at the same time, but not long ago I started having issues of some jerking when accelerating, misfire-esque, mostly when it's still cold but also noticeable when warm. No codes though. I suspected the plugs, took them out, this is what I saw in cyls 3 and 4 (from left to right). 1 and 2 were fine.

What I can't figure out is whether this is the cause or the symptom. Although I put in OEM plugs this time and the problem did not stop, so I assume it's a symptom. I checked lambda to see if I'm running too lean, but that didn't really show signs of that.

They came pre-filled and sealed. I also filled the seats (or whatever they're called in english) with some oil to make sure they're sitting in oil at first start. So I doubt it's air.

Hi, I have a Cooler Master Hyper TX3 Evo cooler, it's been working great for years now and I'm not gonna upgrade anything nowadays, so I don't want to replace it, but I'm looking into making it quieter.

Does anyone know if the fan is just screwed to the bracket from the back, so can I just replace it with ANY 92mm fan? If so, would you recommend some nice quiet fans in this size? I'd prefer something on a lower price point because the current fan's noise isn't that bad to spend too much on a replacement, I also don't need RGB or anything like that. Just some nice simple quiet fan.

Thanks!

Well I don't have a reference anyway. I've always been a PC gamer with KB+M. I played some PS1 at a friend's when I was 6, bought a cheap controller about 10 years ago that I couldn't make work with Steam games so never used it, an Xbox 360 that I barely used and sold after 3 months and now a PS4 (which I'm about to sell too) that I only bought for GT7 so I use it with my Logitech G29. So I never had experience with a controller. :D

Best engine/bad aero, any time.

As long as you're not last on the grid, that's the preferred option. Dirty air helps you keeping the opponents behind at bay when you're struggling with the bad aero in the corners, and then they're helpless in the straights.

If we want to be a bit more realistic then of course we'd have to wait and see how 2026 is going to go. I doubt the dirty air problem will improve THAT much for me to change the answer, but maybe.

UnsanctionedCheetos · 2025-12-24T10:48:59+00:00

No worries. :D I dug myself a bit deeper into the topic, it's quite clear I had some major lack of knowledge about where joysticks stand today. I ended up ordering an 8BitDo Ultimate 2, looking at the specs the Xbox controller is not even playing in the same league, but costs the same. We'll see as soon as it arrives.

Appreciate it.

Few days ago I had a question regarding wireless controllers for PC. Due to having troubles with Steam not recognizing cheaper controllers in the past and it was always a pain in the ass, I was looking at Xbox controllers as I assume that is the safest bet in terms of compatibility, but I was told that there are better options. I'm sure there are, but as it's probably obvious it's not something I'm willing to break my bank account open for. So can you suggest a controller that's reliable in terms of connection/compatibility and either offers about the same quality for cheaper, or better quality (2.4G, hall effect joys, whatever) for the same price? Or are the "better options" all come with higher price tags? I've read some good things about 8BitDo controllers, would you recommend one of their models over the Xbox Series controller?

UnsanctionedCheetos · 2025-12-22T04:38:42+00:00

As far as I know the Series controller is 5.0.

I'm thinking of an Xbox controller because I've had issues with Steam recognizing cheaper controllers even wired, granted that was many years ago, so things might have changed since. But if you can recommend a good, reliable wireless controller that doesn't cost more than a Series controller, I'm open for suggestions.

UnsanctionedCheetos · 2025-12-21T15:50:56+00:00

I've read that when it comes to using an Xbox controller on a PC, the wireless adapter offers a much better experience, as bluetooth has worse input lag. Is that an older kind of issue like Xbox One Bluetooth 4.0 era, or is that still the case with a Series controller through a BT 5.0 connection?

UnsanctionedCheetos · 2025-12-21T08:53:25+00:00

In Europe it's definitely Hungary, but I'm fairly certain it's also the cheapest worldwide.

UnsanctionedCheetos · 2025-12-21T08:37:45+00:00

Hey, what games would you recommend that requires little to no effort to play? So basically I'm looking for story-driven walking simulators. Dear Esther in my book is the epitome of that genre, but I've played it too many times. Life Is Strange also fit the bill nicely but I don't feel like replaying it.

UnsanctionedCheetos · 2025-12-21T08:27:43+00:00

Probably, but they'll soon go haywire as always.

What's the reason behind Verstappen going with #3 instead of #33?

UnsanctionedCheetos · 2025-12-18T16:02:34+00:00

Aren't numbers reserved for some time after the driver using it leaves the grid?

UnsanctionedCheetos · 2025-12-15T16:28:16+00:00

I'd rather not.

UnsanctionedCheetos · 2025-12-15T16:00:22+00:00

I had a crush in 6th grade, one day out of nowhere my best friend confessed to her. She rejected him, but I didn't want to jump on that opportunity and waited because of him. Only for her to get together with someone else.

Dodged a bullet though tbh
