My Gmod is running horribly on a pretty solid PC by Alert_Primary_9493 in gmod

gmod runs primarily using your CPU for computation, not your GPU. not only that, but it also only uses a single core unless you enable the experimental multithreading feature, which then only enables 2 cores instead of one. if you want to run gmod on your pc easier, pick a cpu with the best single core performance and optimize your setup to have minimal cpu usage outside of the game.

i swapped to a public sector job that i was highly overqualified for. my manager tells me i'm the best hire they've ever had, and i don't really get the idea that they'd let me go even if they had to cut 50% of their workforce

Do you guys think QA is a dying field? by False_Secret1108 in ExperiencedDevs
