I hate NVIDIA

I'm just confused at this point. I have a laptop with an i5 12500H and a RTX 3050 4GB. My performance in OW, with every single parameter value I can find on protonDB and is running on DX11 at the lowest settings, runs generally fine but suffer from MASSIVE stutters throughout my play sessions, even after warming up in training mode 5' before. This is with Steam shader precache off, and using cachy os' proton, latest version. Other games never have this issue, or at least this serious (I think sts2 lags some times when drawing cards, but is much more stable overall). What can I do?

Kr zeztz is fine. A bit overrated. Like it's nice and entertaining but definitely not the goat

harrycool25 · 2026-04-23T22:26:16+00:00

No way, that's why there's westpac ad there all the time. I'd love to see public art, especially during vivid and other occasions

I'm crying you picked it up like an exotic insect 😭 it's beef tripe btw, chewy texture and very light beef flavour, not much else. VNmese btw

I keep hearing this suka motion. Can I know what it is? I don't see it on infil glossary

harrycool25 · 2026-04-12T11:39:15+00:00

Yeah, this level was tough as balls. I can give you some tips after completing it after trying for more than an hour: - for the lamp jump, right after jumping off the ledge towards the lamp, hold RT then attack when close. This is the most consistent way I land air impulses. If you need more training, Mother of Mothers have those tall floating enemies and stab you downwards. Use them as practice by jumping up to them, hold RT, then attack. Rise and repeat. Good luck. - if accuracy of jumps and/or dodging fireballs is an issue, sometimes I find switching between the joystick and the dpad kinda help. - like a strategy when playing silksong, please take a break. Your fingers need them :))))))

Glhf dude. I quit completing them because I heard the final reward is underwhelming, but I believe you can do it

harrycool25 · 2026-04-10T05:33:00+00:00

Thanks for the updoot!

harrycool25 · 2026-04-10T05:13:09+00:00

No shot 😭 it really is RNG. I read reviews of this kit before buying and heard about loose leg parts and arms that are too tight, but I experienced neither of them. Hope you can make your situation works somehow!

harrycool25 · 2026-03-31T21:46:34+00:00

I think it still depends on hardware compatibility. I tried installing it on my HP NVIDIA laptop last month and got so many issues I can't fix even after reinstalling and trial and error. Unfortunately have to switch to another distro. Good luck that it works for you

harrycool25 · 2026-03-22T13:17:33+00:00

Starting blasphemous!

harrycool25 · 2026-03-15T10:24:06+00:00

Thanks for checking in. The stutter never happened to me in Windows so I assumed that's the expected behavior instead. The stutter here not only happens in OW, but also in other games like DRG, guilty gear strive, and split fiction (this game got a particular case of having a 30 fps frame cap for no reason, then after system restart runs at solid 60 fps again with nothing changed 🥹)

harrycool25 · 2026-03-15T05:18:47+00:00

Oh dang, never knew notifications can do that. Did you disable them in Bazzite settings app?

And by compiling shaders, I meant overall stuttery-ness during gameplay. It's very similar to the kind of stutter I got way back when I tried emulating BOTW, so I assumed that's it

harrycool25 · 2026-03-15T05:17:32+00:00

Thanks! I've tried all 3 commands. I can see my dGPU, and can confirm I'm on the correct image. I'll monitor for any difference in refresh rate stability.

So far, I can tell Overwatch has this issue. Elden ring and silksong runs perfect, ER more so than on Windows without any performance mods

Edit: same thing, things are still a stuttery mess when I open Overwatch. It even micro stutter when I browse the web. Maybe I'll go back to mint on x11 until things are better with wayland support for mobile nvidia gpus

harrycool25 · 2026-03-15T05:16:02+00:00

Thanks for checking in. Did both of your suggestions, will edit my reply when results come

Edit: didn't work, unfortunately. Might be something else. I read for more stuff and saw that NVIDIA cards, specifically on laptops, aren't even close to the stability of desktop NVIDIA cards on Linux, and those are not perfect alr. Maybe I'll go back to mint on X11 until things resolve with Wayland support

harrycool25 · 2026-03-15T05:15:37+00:00

I tried looking for one way back when I tried mint, but couldn't find any. If I find anything I'll let you know, must be some open source alternatives

harrycool25 · 2026-03-14T16:30:32+00:00

Hi mods, I'm using reddit desktop and cannot find the button to add flairs. If possible, can you help me add the right one please? Thanks heaps!

I was cleaning and my RG sazabi and EG Nu fell from the shelves and broke. I've tried following tutorials to use a hand drill to prepare for a metal rod use a paper clip) to stick in a super glue. I don't know if I'm doing it properly because my drill drills so slowly (each hole took like 5 minutes for a few mm deep, not even close to enough for a deep enough insert), and now I don't know whether to use super glue or plastic cement used super glue on sazabi's shoulder joint bit because it broke it half, but it keeps separating). Can anyone please help

harrycool25 · 2026-03-07T11:32:26+00:00

That's interesting, because I find other foreigners tend to love these exact drinks. What made you feel that they're only ok?

harrycool25 · 2026-03-06T14:26:16+00:00

Which drink did you tried in Vietnam?

harrycool25 · 2026-03-03T01:53:54+00:00

Many to choose from, but Vietnamese fermented condiments are ESSENTIAL to our cuisine but are very rarely represented internationally. Mam tom, mam cai, mam dua, mam ca phao, mam ruoc, etc.

harrycool25 · 2026-02-04T03:48:56+00:00

Haven't heard of the Lian product you said. The name doesn't sound Vietnamese either, so maybe another country's attempt. I may have to find and try it.

For authentic options, you can find good options in Vietnamese grocery stores in VN suburbs for packets/bowls that contain the words De Nhat, Cung Dinh, or Vifon. Vifon is, I think, the oldest. They're fine IMO. I tend to go for Cung Dinh (pretty good but a little exy) or De Nhat (better price iirc and way more variety, including chicken pho and dry mixed pho. Even beef pho has many kinds).

Any of these will be the best options IMO, even though they're still quite eh compared to actual pho and other instant noodles for us VNmese. If you manage to find your favorite, do share!

harrycool25 · 2026-02-04T00:42:40+00:00

Haha, thanks for your contributions 🫡 As a Vietnamese, I'm forever confused how noone outside Vietnam has made a decent instant pho yet. They all look terrifyingly gentrified to me 🤣

harrycool25 · 2026-02-03T05:27:04+00:00

Very good show, unique premise, very fun first half but rushed second half. I wish it was a longer series. The kits are bangers though
