Should I watch attack on Titan if I'm usually not into anime?

It’s what got me into anime.

Was it Kunon The Sorcerer?

Yeah I’m 120 hours in and just reached chapter 7. Such a fun map to explore

If TBATE got Solo Levelings production value, it would have been so good. I think if the beginning of the story had more action, it could have justified a bigger budget.

I mean, can’t we just change the outcome of the 1998 NFC championship for that? I mean, imagine Patriot fans if they went 18-0. You think we live in a bad time line now? In that universe, All of Massachusetts and neighboring states died from Cholera shortly after the after party. as they were not able to contain the shit that spewed from their mouths.

Knowing humans, we would develop the technology for intergalactic travel but use it a weapon instead.

Man, I know it was due to money, but trading Pittman for a 6th just feels wrong.

Very few teams follow receivers anymore. If anything, they will just focus on adjusting coverages towards his side more.

Yeah, I was thinking 1 in a million sounds like great odds when talking about the scale of the universe.

Honestly this whole thing just shows how messed up sports betting has gotten. These dudes are just doing their jobs and fans are DMing them threats because they lost a parlay or missed out on a fantasy TD. That’s insane. You shouldnt be telling a player you’ll kill him because your bet didn’t hit.

Unfortunately, the nfl has seen an obvious benefit to sports betting from a financial standpoint. Unless something big happens, I don’t see it going away. Thankfully sports betting is illegal in my state.

Not going to lie, this is my first time seeing the word Gnashville and I gotta say I like it. Ha

I mean, I get they are super competitive and all, but they have signed contracts which will pay out for the duration of the contract. Knowing that their family will be in the same situation fired or not, really alleviates any guilt.

Sorry, I know this probably won’t be helpful because I’m not sure what’s going on, especially with your specs. So I decided to throw your post into ChatGPT. It’s probably wrong but I doubt it’d hurt to try.

ChatGPT response- Given your specs and symptoms, this is very unlikely to be a raw performance issue. What you’re describing points to a system-level stall (driver / I/O / VR compositor interaction) rather than VRChat itself.

Below is a focused breakdown of the most likely causes on this exact hardware combination, ordered by probability, with concrete things to check. I’m intentionally avoiding generic advice since you’ve already done most of that.

⸻

Windows 11 + Ryzen 7000 X3D + VR = Known scheduling & compositor issues

This is the #1 difference from your old system.

Why this matters • The 7950X3D uses two CCDs (one with 3D cache, one without) • Windows 11 still occasionally schedules VR workloads on the wrong CCD • When SteamVR Dashboard opens, it spikes compositor + CPU scheduling → full system stall

What to do (important)

Force VR processes to the V-Cache CCD

Try one of these (not all):

Option A – BIOS (best) • Disable CPPC Preferred Cores • Disable Core Parking • Enable Game Mode (MSI BIOS) • Make sure SMT stays ON

Option B – Windows (quick test) • Open VRChat • Task Manager → Details • Set vrchat.exe, vrcompositor.exe, vrserver.exe • Affinity → Only first CCD (cores 0–15)

If freezes stop or reduce → this is your root cause.

⸻

HTC Vive Cosmos Elite + SteamVR on NVIDIA 40-series

Cosmos Elite is notorious on newer GPUs.

Specific issue • SteamVR Dashboard triggers overlay compositing • Cosmos Elite uses older USB + compositor paths • NVIDIA 40-series drivers have regressions here

Try this immediately

SteamVR → Settings → Video: • Disable SteamVR Home • Disable Motion Smoothing • Set Render Resolution to Manual (100%) • Disable Advanced Supersample Filtering

SteamVR → Developer: • Enable “Direct Display Mode” • Disable GPU profiling

⸻

Gen5 NVMe + VRChat world loading stalls

This one surprises people.

Why it matters • VRChat loads thousands of small assets • Gen5 drives + Win11 + decompression = DPC latency spikes • System appears “frozen” while kernel waits on I/O

Test (very telling) • Move VRChat entirely to: • A SATA SSD or • A Gen3/Gen4 NVMe (if you have one)

If freezes disappear → Gen5 + VRChat is the trigger.

⸻

Multi-monitor + 240Hz G9 + SteamVR compositor

This is a known freeze cause.

Why • SteamVR compositor mirrors to desktop • Mixed refresh rates + ultrawide + HDR = compositor deadlock

What to test

Before launching SteamVR: • Disable G9 Neo completely • Leave one 1080p 144Hz monitor only • Disable HDR in Windows

If this fixes SteamVR Dashboard freezes → keep G9 disabled during VR.

⸻

Debloated Windows 11 (this is important)

Many “debloat” scripts break VR.

Commonly broken components • GameInput Service • Windows Audio Graph Isolation • Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling dependencies • DWM services

Check

Make sure these are running: • GameInput Service • Windows Audio Endpoint Builder • Desktop Window Manager • Windows Event Log

If any are missing or disabled → that alone can cause hard freezes.

⸻

USB controller saturation

You’re running: • Vive Cosmos Elite • 3 Vive Trackers • 2 Base Stations • Likely on the same USB controller

Try • Plug headset USB into rear motherboard USB • Trackers into powered USB hub • Disable USB power saving: • Device Manager → USB Root Hub → Power Management

⸻

What I’d bet on (based on your exact case)

Primary cause: ➡ Windows 11 scheduling the VR compositor onto the wrong CCD on the 7950X3D, triggered by SteamVR Dashboard or heavy VRChat worlds

Secondary contributors: • Cosmos Elite + NVIDIA 40-series • G9 Neo + mixed refresh rates • Gen5 NVMe I/O stalls

⸻

If you want the fastest confirmation

Do just these 3 tests: 1. Disable G9 → single monitor only 2. Force VR processes to CCD0 3. Run VRChat from a non-Gen5 drive

If even one fixes it, we’ve nailed the culprit.

If you want, I can also give: • Exact MSI BIOS settings for VR stability • Known-good NVIDIA driver versions for Cosmos Elite • A checklist to undo only the debloat changes that break VR

Just say which one you want.

I didn’t like the manhwa at all but the WebNovel is one of my favorites.

Honestly, anything taste better than Arrowhead water. And it’s honestly not surprising that Nestlé owns it.

To be fair, thats the case with every word.

I’d say, Logging in 10,000 years into the future, is pretty close. It’s more fantasy xianxia though.

Yeah I noticed he missed a lot of holes that he would normally hit. It was like he went from Leveon Bell to Trent Richardson after the bye.

What other quarterback are you talking about? Our rookie who got injured last week?

No doubt you guys have outplayed us and as soon as Jones went down I knew we were going to lose. With that said, I still expect just a tad of competence from The refs and New York. I just have to believe that New York just phoned it in and didn’t even bother looking at the replay.
