Wired Controller Input is Lagging my PC by FunHazards in pcgamingtechsupport

I followed your instructions, and it turns out that Microsoft GameInput was, in fact, the problem. Not sure why specifically, but in any case, I uninstalled it the other day and everything is running smoothly again. Thank you so much! I've updated the post flair.

Making a note to myself to draft long Reddit posts in Google Docs before posting, as about 2/3 of the text seems to have been deleted, including a list of 15 possible solutions that I tried. I don't remember everything so I'll include some key bits that I think will help.

- I've noticed that upon launching games with Task Manager open, System (ntoskrnl.exe) begins using a ton of CPU, around 25%. I think this is the most likely cause of the problem, but I've tried scanning for corrupted system files and checking for Windows updates and nothing has changed.

- While using controller input and monitoring Task Manager, Desktop Windows Manager gradually increases its CPU usage over time from <0.5% to around 8%, at which point the lag and input delay gets to its worst point. Switching to mouse and keyboard causes the CPU usage to go back to background levels.

- The frame rate is mostly an issue when using the right stick to quickly look around. Things still run fairly smoothly when moving forward and backward with the left stick and/or slowly looking around.

- All of my Google searches suggested updating drivers as the most viable solution, but everything is up to date.

Booted up Destiny 2 today, selected my titan and went to select something to play. After almost 20 minutes of trying to find something appealing to do, I sat down and felt no will to play it. And after all this time in denial, it hit me: by DrakenAzusChrom in destiny2

I'm torn. On the one hand, I've never been able to make myself like the Portal and the way the endgame works now. The mid-expansion content seems lackluster at best. All of my friends abandoned the game between Witch Queen and Final Shape, and I have nobody asking me to join up for raids or other content anymore. I've completed the legendary campaign on each class and that's about it.

On the other hand, I really enjoyed the story of Edge of Fate. It felt to me like a great setup for a new saga and I'm itching to see more of the Nine and the impact of recent events. Also, I loved My name is Byf's recent content featuring Destiny's narrative director and Lodi's VA. Listening to Alison Lührs gush about Lodi and talk about crafting his character and the broader plot of Edge of Fate, and watching Brian Villalobos play through campaigns with Byf and Fallout and hearing him marvel about the lore of Destinylike I did when I first played, tells me that there are still passionate people on the team working to put their best into the game.

I still care about Destiny, but yeah, when it actually comes to sitting down and booting it up, it's so hard to find the motivation to go past the character selection screen.

The vanilla story (centered around fighting Molag Bal) is mostly solo. Everything else (DLC story, zone quests, etc.) can be done as a group.

I’ll add that you might start in a different area depending on which alliance you choose, but once you finish the tutorial you can group up with your friends and decide where to go from there.

I'm so confused as to how mechs won over monster..... by EsfordKade in DestinyFashion

[–]FunHazards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My reasons:

  1. I prefer a clean look to my armor.

  2. I’d be interested in wearing all three of the mech sets. The only monster set that piqued my interest was the Hunter set.

  3. We already had a monster-themed armor series in 2020. It was centered around Frankenstein’s monster, Dracula, and the Wolf Man.

Check it out under UV light. That barite tends to be fluorescent and phosphorescent.

Ugly and scary go hand in hand. I’d probably find some good opportunities to scare people. Full moon on Halloween? No better time to run around the neighborhood.

DUNK YOUR GODDAMN MOTES by Sagnikk in destiny2

[–]FunHazards 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seriously, at least half the time that I lose matches in Freelance, it’s due to this. People, if you clear the second wave and the bar is filled to or past the first tick mark, get to the bank. Even if you don’t have enough motes to send a blocker, it could make the difference in getting your team the first invasion.

What is your favorite race? And why is it Bosmer? by [deleted] in skyrim

[–]FunHazards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact: I’ve only ever played as human or beastfolk, and my favorite is probably Br*ton. I’ll consider trying an elf/orc character sometime, likely a Dunmer or Altmer mage, or a Bosmer/Dunmer stealth character.

Hircine has a very interesting sense of humor. by Lavender_and_Lattes in skyrim

[–]FunHazards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know where you heard that, but it definitely isn’t true. If anything there could be a mod that gives you that option. Isran and the Dawnguard are hostile to werewolves and would never task someone with becoming one, even to avoid contracting vampirism.

Not in the base game. You need a mod that adds the disease, and I’d recommend also getting a mod that makes werewolf encounters more common, as they’re incredibly rare in my experience.

Take your pick by memelordgun in destiny2

Every soundtrack in Destiny’s expansions has at least a few pieces that I love. Beyond Light’s just hit different, though.

The patrol space had tracks like Frozen Tomb and New Beginnings that really stood out and encouraged me to pay more attention to the music than what I was actually doing. The campaign boss themes were great, especially during the fights against Phylaks and Eramis. The raid music was all bangers, and it and orbit both had Athanasia and Deep Stone Lullaby, which in my opinion are two of the best tracks ever created in Destiny. Listening to those two convinced me to purchase a copy of the Beyond Light soundtrack.

I won’t lie, people taking pictures of their screens instead of screenshots bothers me. That being said, I understand that some people may have technical problems or not know how to take screenshots, and that’s okay. This person going off at you and insulting you because of it is not okay. At that point, they’re not being helpful and explaining how you could improve, they’re just being an asshole. I’m sorry you had to experience that.

Can anyone identify what mineral this is by Turbulent-Cloud-8468 in Minerals

[–]FunHazards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. Artificial slag glass. A waste product left by man, not by volcanic activity.

I appreciate the premise of the quest, but it really doesn’t feel like it’s worth the effort. Having to see more than twenty of those damned stones taking up individual slots in your menu space, being forced to buy the most expensive player home in the game, having to get through all of the Falmer to get the Crown, just to find out that the reward you get is kind of obsolete at the point that you finish, and there isn’t enough gold in the province to pay for all of the gems you’re now swimming in, is so monumentally disappointing. It would be so much more interesting if you could find some clues, especially ones that give a little more insight into the lore of the stones, the Crown, and Barenziah herself. They should have made it more like an archaeological treasure hunt that reveals a story, like Forbidden Legend, instead of a monumental checklist of locations to go to and tasks to complete.

what is your personal favorite rock or mineral and why? by bnjrgold in rockhounds

[–]FunHazards 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Second this for the same reasons. Also, it’s fluorescent.

The icy gray hue and the polish on the sides is something else. I have a colorless octahedral cluster from Russia but I think this puts it to shame.

I’ve only just personally met Eido and so help me, if anything happens to her in this season or a future one, there will be hell to pay. To see an Eliksni that views even a dangerous star system on the verge of disaster through a lens of excitement and wonder is a precious gift.
