I think my brain is fried what do I do?

I'm in my gap year before university. I want to start good habits like exercise and learning a skill(I already started but I'm not consistent).

My problem is I feel overwhelmed and overstimulated. All I do is stay at home, eat, sleep and scroll reddit. My screen time on reddit is always 2-4hrs in a day.

It's reached a point where I don't even feel like engaging in other sorts of entertainment like movies, tv shows or videogames. Its like I can't enjoy them anymore because I already feel overwhelmed and I'll feel guilty.

I have important stuff I want to do but I can't seem to take action. I just feel lazy and everything feels hard.

Sometimes it's so bad that I genuinely just feel disgusted looking at my phone. I don't talk to people on socials because I don't feel like it and I have very few friends. Anyway it's not like talking to many people would make a difference, especially since most people aren't close to me. I have at least deleted Instagram because I was tired of being distracted by reels and constantly seeing posts from my former high school mates.

How do I become level headed again so that I can actually do important things every day?

Can low end Mali GPUs run directX11 PC games?

I have a Mali G57 MC2. So far here are the dx11 games I've tried:

Lego Marvel Superheroes

Lego Batman 3

Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 2(this was a mistake. I had assumed the PC port was released with the original PS3 and Xbox ports in 2010 but the PC port is actually a 2017 remaster. If I had known before, I wouldn't have bothered trying it)

Dragon Ball FighterZ(the set up process was too much and I felt lazy so the game didn't even boot lol)

So from all these games apart from DBFZ, I couldn't reach the main menu for any of them. Even though I was using performance presets, the games would literally lag during the intro logos and stuff.

I used dxvk 1.10 and 1.7.5 for all my tests.

Yet I've seen YouTube videos of chipsets like mine running some of these games. For example, this guy ran Lego marvel superheroes on a G57:

From a nihilistic perspective, is dying really bad?

I know this isn't a proper discussion but I need opinions.

I'm currently going through a rough patch. I just keep thinking to myself how peaceful it would have been if my meaningless self died at birth.

Main thing that freaks me out about the death is the idea of seeing my corpse from a third person perspective. It just makes me feel eerie.

But in the end, it doesn't matter. Eventually I'll wither away and it will be like I'm never existed.

My current struggles, the people that treat me like shit or just don't give a fuck, my feelings, my anger, my family, it doesn't matter. It's peaceful to know in the long term we all die, but in the short term, it feels weird knowing I'm dealing with shit that won't matter when the day comes.

And in case you're wondering, ya, I'm 14 and this is deep.

I'm quite fucked up right now. Things will never get better.

I hate my family and I need a way to express my anger and sadness. How do I do it?

I'm tired of this shit. I'm the youngest out of a small family.

I hate my family. Home isn't what it used to be as compared to childhood. I hate my older sibling for how he treats me. I hate my parents for having sex and conceiving me just for me to grow up in a home where I always feel limited and I have a sibling like him.

Why the hell did my parents think it was a good idea to have a second child?

When I make a mistake everyone always makes it a big deal but when they make a mistake, most of the time I'm literally the one helping them fix their mistake and doing them favors.

I completely hate how home is but I'm stuck until my 1st year of university starts at the end of the year . Everyday is just the fucking same.

My family genuinely makes me wish I died at birth. I have completely dropped the idea of me getting married and starting my own family(if I'll even be alive). I can't risk starting a family that will have similar dynamics as mine and I wouldn't want my family to interact with my new family. And the thing that's fucked up is that if I do live long enough, my family would resent me for not wanting to get married.

They are literally part of the reason why I just want to be alone for the rest of my life and die alone. I know this sounds edgy and cringe but I just can't take it anymore.

Just thinking about how I'm in this circumstances makes me want to cry and punch something at the same time.

I literally took my anger on my sweet dog. But after two hits I realized I was being unfair, especially when it looked at me and just run away as if I'm a stranger.

I'm tired. I didn't ask to be here. I didn't ask them to be my family. And I think we'd all be better off if I had died at birth.

My life is meaningless and it doesn't matter

I love how Winlator Mali is getting more and more community configs

Back when I first tried Winlator Mali in July, they were only community configs for like 5 games(well at least that's what would only show on my phone)

But today when I checked again, I was surprised to see community configs for games on almost every letter of the alphabet.

I like this progress.

Hell I've even found like 4 games with configs for my humble Helio g100. My hardware is by no means powerful but it's nice to know there is some love.

Screenshots in the post are just a few examples.

I'm incapable of change

No matter what I do, no matter how hard I try, no matter how motivated and disciplined I think I am, I never make progress. I've been in a cycle for the past 4 years now.

The cycle goes like this:

1. I have insecurities about my body, personality and my life in general as I just feel like a useless human being who should have never been born. Some insecurities are in my control, others are not in my control.

2. Something or someone in real life exposes one or more of my insecurities and I begin to feel depressed because I wonder why I am the way I am.

3. I look at which insecurities that were exposed are in my control. If I feel like it's in my control, I decide to change.

4. I start the process of change. If someone or something made my physique feel inferior, I make a small workout routine and I follow it for some days or weeks. If I'm feeling insecure about not having a certain skill, I make a plan to learn the skill

5. Eventually I start making excuses to skip times when I'm supposed to do the hard work. I begin feeling comfortable, lazy and unmotivated.

6. I realize I'm procrastinating and start to feel stressed out and depressed. I then indulge in very bad habits that make me more lazy and feel worse in the long term but they feel good in the short term.

7. We go back to number 1.

It's always the same. Day in, day out. I'm tired.

So i've started Chaos Theory

This is officially the second splinter cell game I'm playing.

I honestly can't remember the name of the first SC game I played as I was quite young. I didn't even finish the main story.

I just remember I played it on a PC and Fisher had hair(as in, he wasn't wearing any headgear).

I also remember a lot of rooms in like a mansion or nice looking office with a bunch of red security lasers.

Anyway, I decided to try Splinter Cell Chaos Theory since I hear it's the best. Also because my potato PC can at least run the game at a stable 25fps 😭. I know it sounds bad, but it's playable trust me.

I haven't finished the first level, but I will say so far I'm impressed with the variety in the stealth mechanics and gadgets. The training videos are a good and cool of way of teaching you as a player while also being engaging.

I'm not able to use Vulkan or dxvk on Chromebook.

I have an Acer Chromebook 315 with an Intel Celeron N4500 and 8gb ram.

I'm trying to play Windows games using Lutris. I've only tested one game, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. I'm using Wined3d. The fps is okay but not stable. It fluctuates between 18 and 39 fps. I've already reduced textures and resolution to the lowest but it didn't change much.

Since generally Vulkan gives better performance, I researched on how to use Vulkan. I installed the Mesa Vulkan drivers for 32 bit games. I changed the dxvk version to 1.10.3 but no matter what, it's either the game won't launch or it won't accept dxvk so it defaults to Wined3d.

Any advice on how to games use Vulkan? I'm using the default latest GE proton Wine. Is Vulkan on Chromebook even possible?

When I enable dxvk, some games wont boot at all. If a game still boots, it will have a black screen and log files will show this message:

Deadpool PC version using Bannerlator on a Helio g100

SETTINGS ARE IN COMMENTS

Honestly I'm shocked. This is the only PC game I've been able to play for more than 5 minutes without my container crashing silently.

Now I will say this game didn't run easily out of the box. It didn't even launch until I installed NVIDIA PhysX. Then the frame rate was very poor before I even reached gameplay. The fps was less than 5 during the intro logos for Activision.

After some tweaking, the game finally reached the main menu at a stable fps. But it would crash during the loading screen when starting a new campaign. After some more tweaking, I could finally reach gameplay. I'm still shocked that I was able to play for as long as 10 minutes. After the screen recording the container didn't crash. I just exited the game.

Also I don't know why, but the gamehub HUD at the bottom isn't showing my battery temp and GPU load.

Micro stutters in the video are due to screen recording and shader compilation(I think)

Game resolution: 800x600

Device: Infinix Note 50 4g

Specs: Helio g100 with Mali G57 MC2. 8 gb RAM

Emulator: Bannerlator Bionic PUBG 2.9.5

We need to have this discussion

Explanation:

A few years ago Android introduced a feature called the "Phantom Process Killer". Basically it limits the number of child processes each app can use to 32 processes. If an app exceeds this number, Android won't hesitate to kill the app.

PC emulation is complex and requires a high number of processes for you to run and play your games for as long as possible. If the custom OS on your phone is very aggressive, you won't really be able to play your games for like more than 5 minutes, even if your container settings managed to get the game to boot and run well.

Now this obviously doesn't affect every Android phone. It really depends on how aggressive your OS can be. Generally flagships and gaming focused phones like a Redmagic don't really have this problem as the manufacturer most likely took this into account and either disabled the limit, or increased it.

If your phone isn't a flagship or a gaming phone and has a strict and aggressive OS, the phantom process killer is more than likely an issue. I don't know about other brands, but I've personally experienced this on XOS as an Infinix user. I'm using the latest(as of today) XOS 16.2.0 on an Infinix Note 50.

Now just because your containers crash soon or suddenly doesn't mean it's always the phantom process killer. Container crashes are also due to a number of issues like your driver, your settings, the compatibility layer and translation layer you're using, high RAM usage, RAM leak and so on. PC emulation is complex.

I just wanted to share this as a meme in case someone out there is also experiencing this.

Luckily there are solutions:

First of all, Android 11 and older don't have the phantom process killer as a restriction. This feature was introduced starting from Android 12. So if you're using Android 11 or older, you won't be affected by this feature.

However, this restriction is present in Android 12 and newer.

Method 1:

If you're using Android 12L/13/14/15 and newer, you can simply disable this restriction by going into Developer Options on your phone and disabling child processes. It's a toggle option that Android introduced for people who don't want restrictions.

To access Developer Options, look for the Build Number in your phones settings, tap it 7 times to open Developer Options

Method 2:

This works for any Android version(12 or newer). But you have to use a PC with Android Debugging Program and manually put in commands to disable or lessen the restriction. Please if you can only use Method 2, PLEASE do research on how to do it properly. I don't know how to do it or what commands you need exactly, so if you use this method it's up to you to research on how to do it properly.

NOTE: Disabling this feature DOES NOT require rooting your phone. It is perfectly safe to disable it.

As I said earlier, this doesn't affect every phone or custom OS. Crashes can still be caused by your container settings or memory leaks. I simply brought this up as an issue in case it feels like no matter what you do, your containers always crash.

Best place to deploy website as a beginner?

Sorry if this is not related, but if I have a project based on Flask, SQLALCHEMY and salute, what are some of the best options for deployment and server hosting?

For context I'm willing to pay monthly fees. What are the industry standard that are suitable for beginners in Flask?

Can you recommend any good, competitive traditional fighting games on mobile?

I'm on Android. Only good competitive fighting game I know is Brawlhalla. But I want something like maybe Guilty Gear or Marvel vs Capcom on Android.

It's okay if it's only online but I would also appreciate if it has offline modes.

Any suggestions or is quality like this too much to ask for mobile?
