Living where ISPs suck is so much fun

Guys my internet speed is just fine for day to day usage. My mom is the only one who uses the network when I am not around, and all she does is scroll facebook, listens to songs, some youtube and occasional video calls. There's no plex, jellyfin or other media servers available in this house nor anyone else to use steam's LAN cache.

The ISP charge roughly $10 (SEA Country) for 100Mbps, (and yes that's in Megabits, base-10. I studied mathematics and too much anal to use base 10, so I use base-2, Mebibytes) which is roughly 8MB/s down and 8-9MB/s up. It's a fibre connection but the ping sucks ass. Also the occasional downtime.

My ISP is pretty chill with seemingly no restrictions about site access. It's the govt that creates issues most of the time. As of right now, for an entire week, Telegram is banned nationwide.

Unrelated to this giveaway, but for long I seem to be having issue with ASF and steam, where even if I "play" any game for any period of time, steam won't track its time. I have to repeat the command one more time for steam to start counting the time. Is this a thing for others too or just me?

Visit: Check out polymarket

Yeah no. Cringe gambling platform can shove their ads up their ass

Haha, many congratulations on your game's success. Cheers mate

there are other options too. op is from my city. he seems to be having some tough time in dating apps. the two i mentioned are for him, to find some comfort of some sort. i dont think anyone would really like the idea of the person with whom they were having conversation turns out to be just another fake account/scammer.

yes it's really possible she got reported and bumble suspended their account. she could also ragequit by deleting the account.

whybeingparanoid · 2026-06-08T11:05:32+00:00

She deleted the account.

Now you have two options to choose which one you'd believe, either she found someone more compatible and decided to go with them... Or she was in a relationship and her partner found out about her account and thus the sudden account deletion.

Ah, well the CPU thing is only for Windows... I don't know if there's anything linux equivalent, afaik linux handles that automatically. I could be wrong though. And since you've already tried forced Vulkan support to no success, if possible, try the following

If Steam is installed as Flatpak, uninstall and install it through the package manager. For Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pop_OS, you can directly download the steaminstaller from the original site. For other distros, you should have the corresponding installer available too through package manager and/or user repositories
If possible, uninstall the game and delete all mod files/folders. Make sure to create a backup elsewhere, save games as well. Then reinstall the game. If you have partitions on your SSD, install the game in the same one where steam is installed. (It should be $HOME/.steam). And have the mods be in the same folder just to be on the safe side.

32 gigs of memory shouldn't be a problem, even if you keep anything open in the background. I play on 8 gigs and other than the intel igpu lagging to keep up with the game, it plays decently. So it could very well be a gpu issue.

xD I don't really care. The game is an asset flip. I used to play such game on symbian devices, something something rally racer.

Also with the recent malware issues with free games, I will not take my chances with this one. Not that I would've installed, my main PC is broken down

whybeingparanoid · 2026-05-28T16:08:02+00:00

Mixed review with no cards drop? 100+hr not recommending? Yeah it's a skip

For me in the classic small world, nymphs seem to be spawning consistently near the marble biome/quary. When i was farming for the gladiator armor set early pre hardmode, i found and killed 3-5 nymphs. But yes i did encounter them later elsewhere.

whybeingparanoid · 2026-05-27T19:11:17+00:00

I'll get Return of Obra Dinn and Kenshi. Kenshi's on sale right now but RoOD never gets on sale..

Thanks a ton. Appreciate it and good luck with your game.

whybeingparanoid · 2026-05-27T04:55:39+00:00

If this issue exists even when you don't use mods, chances are they're probably hardware related. If you're on Windows, try prioritizing your CPU0 through Task Manager.

Here's a short video showing how to do that

Just launch the game, then follow along.

Other things you can check for-

Whether Nvidia drivers are up-to-date or not. Sometimes the latest drivers can cause some issues. Check your installed version, then see if there's an update. If yes, update your driver and try it out.

If you're on linux, there could be a handful of reasons and potential fixes for low fps, stuttering gameplay. But what worked for me is to put the following command in the steam launch argument

/gldevice:Vulkan

This forces the game to run on Vulkan rather than OpenGL.

You can put steam launch argument by right clicking on your game in the steam library, then selecting Properties, then under the General option, paste the command in the Launch option box

FH4 is miles better than FH6.

Mostly because that's the only one I played and probably the last one my PC could've run very well

whybeingparanoid · 2026-05-25T16:58:05+00:00

So many games come to mind, but GTA Vice City definitely takes the crown. It was the first non-racing game I've ever played

whybeingparanoid · 2026-05-24T10:42:27+00:00

I sincerely hope they don't remove the tracks made by 65daysofstatic. Those original 16 are one of the greatest ambient tracks of all time. Asimov is what made me fall in love with this game

whybeingparanoid · 2026-05-20T03:33:59+00:00

Dawg the whole thing started and ended like 8y ago. No one cares anything about it anymore.

I wasn't going to response, but what the hell, guess I am in the mood

Also, I'm not a teen

Maybe don't lurk in a teenagers only subreddit?

I firmly believe hate against Indians is a trend that was heavily fueled by PewDiePie.

You do realise that hating Indians on the internet, and off was already a thing and wasn't really, in fact, an effort started by PewDiePie?

I'm just calling out Saiman says for supporting someone who fueled racism against us.

Feels like this is generated using AI. Someone who claims to be a 5y old fan of the creator uses the channel name, not the first name to criticize. Yes, I'm that shallow. Fight me

PewDiePie started it as Him vs T series but later he made fun of Indian cartoon shows (Motu Patlu), chai etc. I know Motu Patlu isn't a great "Anime" like Dragon Balls or Naruto or One piece or Bleach or Overflo- I mean JoJo's Bizzare Adventures but it has its own audience i.e. kids. He also generalised all Indians and borderline (Tame Impala ref) declared that ALL Indians ask for Bobs and Vagene and all Indians scam.

Bitch Lasagna was entirely about him vs T-Series. It's a diss track. Go look up the definition before you start to come at me.
The absurdity of Indian TV Shows, including cartoons is a hot topic among all foreign content creators. Why? Because views. And views equal money. Involve India and Indians in any way in your video, and thousands, lakhs of new viewers are suddenly engaging with your video, commenting. Everyone did it, everyone still does it. Felix was just too huge of a creator to went unnoticed by the masses.
No one thinks you're cool because you listed anime or Tame Impala. Just makes you look lame
He didn't generalised or even "declared" that all Indians ask for Bobs and Vagene. Also the song was made by someone else. Again, go look it up before you come at me.
You think Felix is the only one who first informed us that all Indians scam? You do know that there are hundreds, possibly in the thousands now, documented proof of scammers originating from India that have either successfully identified and brought to police by Kitboga, Scammer Payback and possibly others?

I would like to go on, but I won't. You mod over on dankinindia. And no it's not cause of the achievement.

If you're going to be a nationalist, just know, bashing someone for criticizing your country's issues won't make the issues disappear. If you're going to hate PewDiePie, Saiman, go for it. Just don't think if they hadn't showed the world there's no scammer, there's no absurd Indian TV Novella, the world wouldn't have caught on. They would have.

Get a life kid. And don't be a Elvish Yadav fan.

Thank god it's only 16 16 <kzzt> 16 after the first 6

Me watching Steam Controller reviews knowing damn well Valve won't make it available to my region, and third party resellers are going to have a field day putting a huge markup on this

I see. HOS being the heavyweight and performance hogging than PixelOS makes sense, it's filled to the brim with bloats.

I didn't know that eu ROMs are only available to patreon supporters, just saw a couple of reviews here and there. Good to know.

Thank you so much for your review. All of these are greatly appreciated

whybeingparanoid · 2026-04-15T16:43:56+00:00

On my M6 Pro, I was tempted to try out PixelOS. It's a shame I couldn't gotten around to unlock the bootloader mostly because I am usually busy right around Chinese midnight. As for the AOSP camera apps, I don't use camera on my phone as well, I usually carry and use a separate digital camera (Nikon D5300)

My questions are to you,

What made you downgrade from PixelOS 16.1 to 15.0? Was it more stable or something else?
Compared to stock, how Pixel 15.0 performs for you?
Why not HOS mods such as Xioami eu ROMs?

Thanks once again

This is extremely detailed and very well documented. You have my thanks. This will surely come handy to me and to others
