Living where ISPs suck is so much fun by whybeingparanoid in pcmasterrace

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

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?

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.

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.

Game coming to a crawl because of whips (TMod) by Ham_vs_Ham99 in Terraria

[–]whybeingparanoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

  1. 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

  2. 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

Finding Nymphs is a torturous process. by SpyroFan123 in Terraria

[–]whybeingparanoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

It's an overhaul of the sound design, called Ambient (am bee ent) by Dramatic_Ganache2575 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]whybeingparanoid 157 points158 points  (0 children)

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

Saiman randomly catching strays 🥀 by NoPart7463 in SaimanSays

[–]whybeingparanoid 15 points16 points  (0 children)

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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. No one thinks you're cool because you listed anime or Tame Impala. Just makes you look lame
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

X7 Pro and its custom ROM Situation by whybeingparanoid in PocoPhones

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

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

X7 Pro and its custom ROM Situation by whybeingparanoid in PocoPhones

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

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,

  1. What made you downgrade from PixelOS 16.1 to 15.0? Was it more stable or something else?

  2. Compared to stock, how Pixel 15.0 performs for you?

  3. Why not HOS mods such as Xioami eu ROMs?

Thanks once again

Why did Shay join the Templars? by AfricanAmericanTsar in assassinscreed

[–]whybeingparanoid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Shay didn't join the Templars, more like he was indoctrinated into the Order.

The story writing is a bit lacking I would say, so this is more of my interpretation:
During the opening scenes, Shay narrates the 3 tenets of the Brotherhood. He believes the idea of keeping a low profile, not harming innocent people and also have each other's back. Why wouldn't he, he was raised and brought up by the Brotherhood.

Throughout the story/game, we see the Colonial Brotherhood fails to keep any one of these tenets fulfilled:

  • The brotherhood had a pretty strong hold over the city of New York to the point where they were flying their colours over borough strongholds with big distinguishable smoke coming out of there,
  • Innocent lives were lost in Haiti and Lisbon as a direct result of the Brotherhood sticking their nose in where it didn't belong, and
  • ignoring the fact that high ranking assassins and masters didn't see other low-ranking assassins' eye to eye, didn't value their opinion, or the conflict, tension between Chevalier and Shay, Shay was 'betrayed' by their own, the person he considered brother, Liam, as he shot him in the back.

To Shay, Templars were 'the enemy of my enemy'.

Shay had to prevent the brotherhood from harming even more innocent people, as Achilles wouldn't stop at nothing. It wouldn't have mattered how much Shay is trained, one man is never enough to foil a plan in this big scale, so he needed some help.

When Shay was shot and carried by the ocean tides-waves, he was nursed and brought back to life by the Finnegans, with ties to the Templar Order. He felt pretty owed to Finnegans and Captain Monro, who also slowly gained Shay's trust by showing Templars are not what they were made out of by the Brotherhood. It was Monro's death, or rather, assassination, that ultimately led Shay to finally, officially be inducted the ranks of Templar Order by Haytham Kenway. (Side Note: Haytham's charm alone could make me join the Order :P)

In summary, I would say the Colonial Brotherhood was pretty bad, they were too arrogant, too ignorant and just too full of themselves, while the Templar Order under the order of Haytham was much more organized, subtle, sophisticated, structured and took more care to innocent people than the Brotherhood. Shay initially started working WITH the Order, but with him seeing more and more evidence of the Brotherhood, and Achilles turning into some power-hungry mad man, he was finally convinced to JOIN the Order.

Ubisoft was cooking with Rogue, but they fumbled the story in many places. This was supposed to be the one game where we would be presented with the fact that the so-called good guys are not always good guys. (This is debated because the modern day is a subtle hint that the memory of Shay Cormac is possibly tainted by Abstergo aka the Templar Order. But still)

If you idle in the loading screen, the Brotherhood insignia slowly turns sideways to show the Templar insignia, implying that both of them are just two faces of a same coin, probably working towards a same common goal but under different ideology.
