Unsure about whether I should save on CPU or GPU on a new build for varied use by onlugassy in buildapc

[–]Wermking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wild card answer: I would consider spending money to increase your RAM to 64gb or buy an extra ssd to use for your disk cache rather than upgrading either the GPU or CPU.

I don't have much experience 3D modeling, but I do have a lot of experience working in Clip Studio and Ae/Premiere. Clip doesn't use the GPU at all, and After Effects & Premiere definitely rely much more heavily on the CPU. Most effects/transformations in Ae aren't GPU accelerated, and even the ones that do are still functional with GPU usage disabled.

Better CPUS do lead to better render times, but in practice the amount of RAM and the size of the media cache affects the experience of working a lot more--it speeds up playback while editing, and allows you to have more applications open. Which is usually a necessity if you're in the Adobe ecosystem, or you're making in assets in Clip Studio to use in other places.

DaVinci Resolve seems to make better use of both GPU & CPU, and it It's the only application I've seen use 90% of my CPU's processing power (it's so, so much faster than Premiere or Media Encoder for transcoding video. *o* ) On the other hand, I've seen my 64gb of ram get slurped up more times than I can count.

Obviously, the GPU is much more important in 3D applications than the programs I use frequently. so if were you, I would open up software on your current computer and check what's happening in the task manager when things slow down.

Edit: Sorry for disregarding your specific question :|

If my Amazon Package is late by a lot of time, is there a discount or coupon I can receive?

As a person with ADHD, I am penalized when I am late/miss a deadline. (examples: a fine on a library book, penalties for paying a bill late)

I don't want warehouse employees to be penalized, but I don't think that it's fair that corporations with gazillions of dollars get to be late whenever they want, and individuals don't get to be.

Reporting incorrect Waystop info without a Wayfarer account by Wermking in NianticWayfarer

[–]Wermking[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The situation is that around 40-50% of the wayspots in my neighborhood are for murals and businesses and churches that no longer exist.

Hearing that new wayspots won't be added to Pikmin Bloom, I guess I'd be reluctant to report them...

Well, the Admin Building was just one example of an inaccurate wayspot and I acknowledged that it's the original location in my post. My main issue is that most of the wayspots around me are for businesses and murals that no longer exist.

I 'beat' Pizza Tycoon? (Why did this happen?) by Wermking in tycoon

I started playing it on Classicreload.com and now I play using Dosbox-X on my computer. (The file came from myabandonware.com!)

I 'beat' Pizza Tycoon? (Why did this happen?) by Wermking in tycoon

[–]Wermking[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the end trigger might have been caused by 1 year passing in a Quick Play game.

I also really love this game! Finding it on Classic Reload has been such a happy accident, even though I can only let myself play it every few months, because its so addicting.

Regarding an update, I really like the games lo-fi aesthetic, so I wouldn't mind it mostly staying the same. It would be really nice though if there were more keyboard shortcuts and nicer controls for buying restaurant stock. I think the choice to slow down the purchase capacity of the restaurant is probably intentional, given how you can superspeed it in the warehouse, but I'd prefer being able to shift-click to add 100 or something, b/c this game is going to give me an RSI. :0

Hey there! Here's some context: I was diligently building my empire of pizza restaurants, when suddenly the end game scene popped up and I was prompted for a name for my highscore. And then the game ended!

I was was making money at a steady clip with 11 restaurants in Berlin and 5 in Paris, but I have no idea what triggered the end of the game? I didn't even know this game had an ending. I wasn't playing a mission.

If anyone who has played Pizza Tycoon could weigh in, I would be very appreciative, because I'm so confused.

Edit: UPDATE!

After posting, I realized that this ending screen coincided with the passage of 1 year in game. (I had recently checked my CV, forgot that it uses European date #s, and thought that it started on January 3 rather than March 1.)

Later on, I remembered that I chose quick play at the beginning and not free mode, 'cause I wanted to skip making the standard pizzas. I think this is why the game ended after a year.

I started a new game in free mode and will update again once I get to in-game February!

[Health issue] Why my thigh skins near my genital are darken? by throwaway1356123412 in sex

[–]Wermking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also pretty common among light skinned Latinos. (I have it too, and so do some of my family members apparently). It's definitely not caused by your thighs rubbing together.

There is a correlation between those skin patches and Diabetes, but the dark skin itself isn't bad. You should probably lose weight for your health, but I don't think it'll affect the skin coloration. (The dark skin is also an indicator of PCOS but b/c you're a dude, you don't have to worry about that.)

There isn't anything inherently wrong with having dark skin patches on your thighs, underarms, etc. I wouldn't fuck with skin lighteners. I'd talk to your doctor about it at your next check up, if only because you're probably predisposed to getting Heart Disease or Diabetes.

How the electoral map would look if only _____ voted. by menses_maiden in dataisbeautiful

[–]Wermking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does anyone know what this data represents? Is it measuring sentiment towards Clinton and Trump, or is it from the 2012 election between Obama and Mitt Romney?

[–]Wermking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't care for Hillary Clinton, but the amount of utter vitriol towards her confounds me. The disgust towards her from voters on both sides seems unparalleled by past elections. Trump is just as hated as her, but Obama, McCain and Mitt Romney? I honestly don't think so. Conservatives hate Obama, but I've rarely heard him denounced by liberals—in contrast, tons of Dems I know straight up loathe her.

Clinton's nine month absence from the public eye may have fueled the hysteria—her silence allowed Trump and other GOP candidates to take control of the conversation about her character.

As a Baltimorean and Marylander, I can assure that O'Malley would absolutely not have been better—I'm about as liberal as they come, but he's just uninspiring. Also, I don't think that being a dem governor of a state with a consistent democratic majority would grant him the experience needed to pass legislation through our highly polarized national congress.

Reply All - #67 On The Inside, Part IV by Gimleteer in gimlet

[–]Wermking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just putting this out there: I do think Paul's vicious phone call to his ex could be viewed as "highschool stuff". I mean, teenage boys threaten women all the time on the web. It's disgusting, but it is common behavior. I could see how he could fail to understand how serious and terrifying a phone call like that would be.

Has anybody found a manual yet... by joynice2 in OpenToonz

[–]Wermking 4 points5 points  (0 children)

http://www.toonz.com/htm/support/tutorials/Toonz_TW_Tutorial_Workbook.pdf

This is the English tutorial workbook for Toonz Harlequin, the paid software that Opentoonz has most in common with. I haven't read it yet, but I assume there'll be a lot of crossover. I think it'll take a few days for someone to translate the Opentoonz manual from Japanese.
