l0rdtr3k: Fucking anxiety attacks. I hate having them,yeah I suffer from anxiety and that's why I play video games,to calm the fuck down.
I already did my daily jogging but I can't calm down.

LaPtiteBete: :-( Oh... sorry about that... I hope that you'll feel better soon...

EndreWhiteMane: Thanks, just going to get a little blood sucked out, I have a (little) heart procedure next week and they're just making sure I'm fit enough for it I guess.
avatar
LaPtiteBete: Well... best wishes to you too Endre. I hope you'll recover well and quick. When is it exactly ?
Procedure is Tuesday morning, they're just going in with a catheter to look around. Maybe a stint or two if needed, not a real big deal.

WHAT THE F***!!??!!??!!????BULLSHIT!!!
There, there. I also reacted that way when they told me.

Actually I'm now interested in knowing how important the CPU and GPU are in relation to each other when maximixing FPS.

Say you switch off all postprocessing, antialiasing and effects. the GPU would have little to no load and you'd be limited by the CPU, or would a better GPU actually improve performance?
avatar
Ixamyakxim: Okay more questions.

Does VSYNC Save CPU cycles / GPU performance, or Cost it? I'm guessing it eats up cycles.

If I can "cap" my max frames per second to my monitor refresh rate (in this case 60 FPS for 60 Hertz) in my GPU settings (globally - I'm not sure if this is even possible) would that be a good thing to do? Is that like setting a global restrictor and better off than using VSYNC options in individual games, assuming VSYNC eats processing power.
avatar
j0ekerr: I honestly have no idea, but I think Vsync, actually lowers performance, because your video card has to synchronize with your display, which requires another process. In reality however, the difference is negligible, and most people who claim to notice it, are actually falling for the placebo effect.

There is virtually no difference once you switch to digital. The quality is always the same. You could choose your cable by eenie meenie miney mo, and it still would be a valid choice.

CarrionCrow: -laughs- We're on the internet. It's a frigging neverending ocean of ways to see actual non-pixelated breasts for free.
avatar
j0ekerr: That seems like a sensible and rational enough argument.

Sadly, it completely fails to explain why this exists.
Hell, I can explain that.

Take a bunch of female characters designed to have their breasts move in ways that aren't even possible in nature, then put them in the hands of people who want to dress them in as many skimpy outfits as possible in between making them jiggle even more.

That's it. -laughs-

l0rdtr3k: K den.
Fuck EA,fuck them for killing Pandemic,Origin and Westwood. You money grubbin pieces of shit. I only buy your games available here because they were a huge part of my childhood and I feel guilty doing so because I'm giving MY money for you to waste it away on shit games.
And you had the balls to difile Dungeon Keeper,one of my favourite games of all time.You turned it into another freemium with microtransactions up the ass and when you destroy a room guess what,the Bullfrog logo appears. How dare you do that to one of your most fondly remembered companies and now you smudge shit over the great name of Origin with your shit service and you dare to delay Battlefront 3,a game that I've been waiting for freaking ages just so you can hype it up and shove it out the door to meet a deadline.
I hope you eat you golden poop and give you the worst case of dysintery and you die and rot in company hell for it.
avatar
AgentBirdnest: Anxiety is an evil piece of shit that should stay in hell where it belongs.
All I can say is hang in there, and don't forget that there are many people here wishing the best for you.
If you are comfortable with it, feel free to vent your frustration all you want here. I do it sometimes, and people don't seem to mind too much.

l0rdtr3k:
Sounds like Crows review of Hatoful Boyfriend. Feel any better?

Is it an outpatient thing, or do you have to be in the hospital for a certain period of time for monitoring?
avatar
Ixamyakxim: So, I didn't want to make a topic for this and lucky y'all, you get to be bugged.

Sell me on a DVI connection to my monitor. Stupid? Unneeded? Or does it provide some benefit?
That's all my new monitor had, might as well keep up with the tech.

ddickinson: Are you hungry for anything in particular, or just hungry in general? I have had a slight craving for strawberries all day.

AgentBirdnest: Pizza. Pizza Friday has been a family tradition as long as I can remember. I can't stop thinking about it.
Food of the gods. ;-)

We all do. I remember the first time I rewatched the Transformers G1 cartoon as an adult.

"I used to think this shite was awesome?!"

Best wishes on your procedure. Hope you get back here with renewed energy and plenty of shells for your lawn-cleaning shotgun.

Outpatient, be in for 10-12 hours if all goes well.

Which again proves my point that some people prefer to pay for pixelated breasts over free non-pixellated ones.

Specially if those breasts are attached to a non-furry anime catgirl.

Its moe level... it's OVER NINE THOUSAAAND!
