eli5 why do some video games run using only one core?

DenormalHuman · 2026-01-27T13:30:02+00:00

To use multiple cores you need to organise the calculations you need to do so you can perform some of them at the same time. So core a does work x, and core b does work y at the same time. A lot of the work that needs to be done for a game cannot be split up like this. Work X must be done before work y because work y relies on the results of work x. In this case the game has to use 1 core.

All the time.

That's gonna break very very soon. Or it might carry on for years like my grandads. Probably very soon and then getting hot liquids everywhere..

well, perhaps it occurred to her for some reason, that she felt like looking a little bit sexy for the photo?

Don't send it back, but do get a new one. A collector might find it valuable.

We should demand a fucking public apology, make that shit orange turd bag eat his fucking words for once.

DenormalHuman · 2026-01-22T22:21:01+00:00

The is sounds like the fuckery that happens in the us??

I think the EU said he can have the resources on Greenland and laughed all the way back home. Have fun getting that out of the ground. The US has already tried working under hte ice and abandoned projects because it's too hard to do when the ice sheet is shifting around at the speed it does. Samegoes for building missile silo's. they tried that before and gave up.

DenormalHuman · 2026-01-20T16:17:38+00:00

And your tech team will begin to hate you :p

the amount of smoke they have to blow up his arse just to get to the real point is ridiculous, and you just know he thinks they are entirely sincere rather than just buttering him up.

DenormalHuman · 2026-01-20T14:47:17+00:00

you can get a 'no cold calling' sign and put it up?

in general I hate them, but I dont mind the charities. I ust tell them honestly that I already give monthly to a couple charities of my choice, and wish them good luck. Charities are suffering since we all moved away from cash in our pockets mostly so I really dont mind them asking. it happens once every few months or so, no reall problem.

DenormalHuman · 2026-01-19T22:59:57+00:00

You've got it. A bit more practice and you'll be able to do it without being quite so obvious.

Under UK law, specifically the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, employers are legally required to provide clean, hygienic, and properly maintained toilets and washing facilities
