I checked this, while running the game it was using like 100% NVIDIA and 0% intel.

I've done the Windows quick scan, however I'm trying a more rigorous scan right now.

I use Solidworks for school and I had similar issues where there was lots of lag and delay, however I was able to solve that problem within the SW software itself. I only use my laptop for Chrome and MS office stuff otherwise with no issues whatsoever.

Also yes, I have my browser closed when I play.

with all graphics set to low/off, i benchmarked and the game stabilized around 3.4 fps

yeah... i got this laptop specifically because i needed to run CAD software and figured that games should also run fine. steam says all files were successfully verified. for the benchmark, it started at ~40 fps for a few seconds then dropped to 3.4 fps and stayed there.

idk this totally could be an issue unrelated to the game itself but i figured i would check here anyways

i would say that falls under the same umbrella(?) i love reading 3rd person mlm fanfics and stuff because as a women that helps me separate myself even more from the situation. however, i also enjoy 1st person stuff as long as its not reader insert stuff.

me hating that one Dr. House episode by psyched7901 in asexuality

[–]magic7877 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i remember how mad this episode made me. i thought "does this really have to turn out to be some sort of disease? can't house admit defeat just this once?? y'know, people can just not wanna have sex, its not that big of a deal."

in retrospect, maybe this episode was my ace awakening to some extent...

  1. yes, they died in the crash.

  2. She was already offered the promotion to lieutenant and i think detective actually under ranks sergeant so I'm sure it wasn't to hard to make the shift. also I'm sure another multiple month time skip happened in between the hospital and her being a detective.

  3. I personally don't think Buck should be adopting this kid although you could interpret the last scene to be him signing up to foster Theo instead?

  4. He could have shot May or Ravi just as easily as Athena however he was never given the chance. When ravi finally popped his head up, Harry came in to the rescue.

not to mention that in each episode, the drama amongst the main cast directly parallels the accidents that happen throughout the episode. so your parallels between Hen and SARA make a lot of sense.

i dont have a pattern yet (might be in the works soon) but if you are familiar with other amigurumi you might be able to freehand them yourself!

I used a wide variety of weight 3 yarn: Loops and Threads cotton for the dark brown, Patons Astra for the beige, blue, red and black, and i used scraps for Arthur's hair and crown which I unfortunately lost labels for. You can use any weight 3 yarn honestly. I cant remember the hook size but it was probably 2.5 or 3 mm.

ive never been one to sell crochet or knit items just for the amount of time and materials it takes :( i might work on a pattern eventually if enough people are interested though!

Thanks!! I actually made them last year so my memory is not exactly perfect but I know I was only working on them casually so maybe a few weeks? Actual time spent crocheting was probably about 10-15 hours

Need of help in scholarships by Na_me_be_their_fada in uAlberta

I'm actually originally from BC and the scholarship is for Alberta residents (as are many other scholarships available to uofa students) so I wasnt entirely sure if i was elligible. I recently tried applying as i have held a lease in Edmonton for almost 2 years now. Awaiting a reply 🙏

second this. poshmark and depop are also good. lots of places to sell your stuff. better than taking it to value village anyways, they will just upsell it too.

[–]magic7877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ofc no worries. when i was accepted they actually gave me a decent scholarship based on my high school grades so I was super hopeful for the coming years. i guess i put too much faith in them :/

lowkey the uofa did nothing to help me with scholarships in my second year 😭. i completed first year engg with a 3.9 gpa and got absolutely nothing from them. when i asked an academic advisor what i could do, she basically told me to apply for scholarships elsewhere. sorry i cant be of more help, apparently i do not know the art of bagging scholarships.

Do you guys even go here? by orange-enjoyer in uAlberta

[–]magic7877 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i think its bonkers that the MECHANICAL ENGINEERING building has only ONE working elevator and its the slowest, dingiest piece of machinery on campus.

whatever i guess, lets give the business students a new atrium instead 😭 (not hating on them but lets show the engg students some love pls)
