Do you have a general practitioner that you see for an annual physical or anything? Ask them about it. I had a weird skin condition thing happening in one specific spot on my body that I asked my doctor about, and he pulled up a big medical directory on the computer and cross-referenced symptoms and stuff through it. Eventually, we were both like, “It’s not cancer or anything, but damned if I know exactly what it is.” And he asked me if I wanted a referral to a specialist to get it checked out. These kinds of things are exactly what they’re here for. They can probably recommend things like what to eat and things to avoid for prostate health, and even order tests to get it checked out if you and they feel it’s necessary.

As others have said, talk to your doctor, but I’m pretty sure that doctors use ultrasonic vibrations to break up that sort of stuff, so I think you’re gonna need something stronger than a vibrator if you’re worried about it.

It really depends on the company, job, and where you live. I worked as a contractor for a delivery company for a while, putting about 20,000 miles a year on my own car transporting stuff. In the US, if you drive your own car for work, you get a tax deduction for the mileage you put on your car while working. The pay was pretty good and the hours were short, but I was effectively converting the value of my car into cash during that time.

Don’t forget to draw the rest of the owl, too!

They also said at one point that these guys were “corrupting the youth with their long hair.”

NVIDIA ass DLSS, unfortunately.

Rereading my comment, I think I left out the double negative, so you were right to be confused.

If I had to try and diagnose the issue, I think it comes down to the fact that I have an early 2060, which means not just an old card, but an old card with less VRAM. Consistently, I find that DLSS drops textures down to the lowest possible setting or constantly cycles between texture resolutions every few seconds when I can get a consistent 60 fps on medium settings in most games at native 1080p. It may net me a few extra fps, but the hit to quality simply isn’t worth it if I can’t make out what’s what with the texture popping.

Another possible culprit would be shader caching since games are more and more demanding that you use an SSD to stream directly from the hardrive, but I’m not knowledgeable enough to get that deep into it.

Add DLSS to the list. I’ve never had an experience where DLSS didn’t make my game run better. It always makes the textures worse and the game run worse than just setting it to native resolution and a specific texture quality.

Okay, Karen.

Tell me you’ve never worked a shitty “essential employee” job without telling me you’ve never had the kind of megalomaniac managers that these jobs attract.

No, but he does have a history of racism and supporting/promoting white supremacists.

He has a long history of incidents like, “Hey, why are you following those white supremacist accounts on Twitter and promoting their books?” or “Oops, I was wearing an iron cross just as a joke!” and “I paid a dude to yell, ‘I hate Jews!’ as a prank, bro.”

Pretty sure they mean “actual leftist” as in “not just liberals and moderates.” Because there are plenty of instances with an axe to grind against Hexbear for their bad behavior.
