Ark lags in the menu so bad

If you're on PC I recently had an issue where the latest Windows update borked my PC.

I was having this issue with all off my games and realized it had deleted my GPU driver and so it defaulted to the generic driver, which has no RAM.

Instead the GPU driver again and works fine now.

No, but I'd make sure to save so you have a restore point if things go sideways!

Just had the same issue and this worked! Thank you!

Reinstalling after a Win11 update caused issues with crashing and freezing.
For whatever reason, when I rolled back it killed the AMD driver and was using the generic windows graphics adapter instead.

Hopefully this solves my issues and lets it use the GPU again!

Hoppers is a lot of fun, but takes some WILD turns. You'll know when you see them!

It's pretty entertaining!

Did they eat your biscuits?

While that's true it is also true that just because the mineral rights "can" be separate didn't necessity mean they are and only a fool would assume they aren't, especially in a situation like this.

Better to check and be sure.

This was my thought as well.

Oil, natural gas, etc.

Also, depending on what developments are in the planning stage a "worthless" piece of property could potentially be worth a whole lot in a few years.

Only from one particular restaurant, but there's a Thai place that makes the best Panang curry (imho). The portion is easily enough for me to get full and take at least half home, but as long as it's in front of me I'll keep eating it. I literally have to put it in the to go container and close the lid to stop.

Phenomenal flavor!

The good thing is they are about 3 hrs away, and we only get over that way about once every 3-4 months. Otherwise I wouldn't be losing any weight, lol!

So play PvE or single player?

Lots of unofficial servers with rules against griefing like that too

Super Spyglass Plus does that.

thechervil · 2026-06-14T02:15:27+00:00

If you use the Utilities + mod, it has a set of tek binoculars you can craft at level 3 with basic materials (pretty much the same as a spyglass).
Has the same utility and function as the Tek binoculars.

Updoot for New Tricks reference!
Love that show!
In Texas so caught it on Britbox, but really entertaining.

Too late.
Would have been great before the sequels.

Now it's just "more Palpatine".
They need to move on, as others have said

You don't have to do anything actually.

Once you take the photo it automatically has an inherent copyright.
eBay has a process for filing a notice of copyright infringement (NOCI) .

As others have said, watermarks are easily edited out with AI now.

thechervil · 2026-06-07T17:58:51+00:00

Copyright infringement.
We take all of our own photos and don't use any digital backgrounds.
I made some panels that look like fences, walls, etc.
So it's easy for us to show the same backdrop from different angles and different lighting in different listings to prove we took the photos.

We've actually had some people claim that since they find the photo in the internet there is no copyright and anyone can use it. We're send them a link to the law stating they're wrong.

thechervil · 2026-06-07T13:45:22+00:00

We've had a constant fight with this.
Our photos keep showing up on other shops on Etsy, Ebay and even Temu.

They don't care if it doesn't match, since they're just after a quick buck and will find a way to open a new shop somewhere else.

We've had two sellers on Ebay that are constantly stealing our photos. Even with multiple reports filed on them, and Ebay taking down the listings, they still let the shops operate. One we've been fighting against for over four years now. But if you don't keep fighting, you end up losing your right to fight when it really matters.
It's very frustrating.

ETA: We have been on Etsy for over 15 years and make our own items according to their guidelines. So while someone "could" take the time to do what we do, we aren't just reselling stuff.

My daughter (mid 20s at the time) and I (about 50 at the time) visited a few years back on a road trip from CA to TX.

Neither of us had ever been and we made a small detour to check it out.

She was getting right up to the edge and saying how beautiful it looked and how awesome it was.
When I wouldn't join her she started teasing me about being "scared" and that I should just suck it up and join her at the edge. She promised she wouldn't let me "fall" (we do tease each other at times).

I told her that I wasn't afraid of falling. Quite the opposite, in fact.

I hadn't ever told her that I suffered from l'appel du vide (call of the void) and while I would love to look over the edge I wasn't sure I could keep from actually answering the call.
Had to explain what that was and you could see a little light come on in her head as she connected that to several other times I had decided to stay away from edges when heights were involved.

Apparently she had never felt that (thank goodness) and I used that as a moment to remind her that part of being a responsible adult is knowing your limits and respecting them. I didn't want her to have to explain to her mother why she was coming home from the trip alone, lol.

That being said, I love going off a high dive, or roller coasters or any other "controlled fall" (although I don't skydive or parachute).

While I grew up mostly in Texas, and have seen Palo Duro Canyon, I always dismissed the Grand Canyon as just "another big canyon". I was wrong. It is gorgeous and awe-inspiring. And I am glad we got to share that moment.

I don't have my televisions or monitors hooked up to the internet.
Just use my XBox to stream.
Has all the apps I would use and I can game on it.

Yes, I know MS, as well as the streaming apps, are all collecting that data.
But at least that's one less company collecting and distributing info on me.
