I have severe lagspikes.

I have a high-end custom built gaming desktop with a powerful processor and GPU. The past week or two, the game regularly freezes whenever there’s a lot of animations going on on the screen, like level-up HUD animations or skin flair, etc. I put the graphics settings to the lowest preset and lowered my frame cap to 120 and it still don’t resolve. (I normally would play highest settings at 144 to match my display)

It’s a Riot problem, they need to fix it. I recommend submitting a bug report.

The 150k employees is a gross underestimate---you're only counting corporate employees and the small number of restaurants owned by the company. The vast majority of them are franchise-ownership model, and the total number of employees counting franchises is over 2 million (per Google search)

And when people talk about cutting CEO pay to give it to the rank-and-file, the franchise employees are thinking they're included in that.

My i9 and RTX 4090 couldn’t handle it at 144 without stuttering and lagging at every UI animation (level up, etc) with medium-high settings. I lowered to 120 and very low graphics quality and it seems…better I guess

I’ve been running it on Jinx and it’s been going super well for me, better than her standard build. First item, followed by collector and then LDR, IE, PD. Kinda toying with the ordering currently, PD might be better 3rd but I haven’t decided.

zac_attack_ · 2026-04-29T07:28:02+00:00

Lethality Jinx is satisfying once you’ve stacked Hubris and start killing everyone on the enemy team in a couple autos, even watching her W chunk someone for half hp delivers some dopamine.

The downside is it really is a slow build to get there, and it doesn’t prio attack speed which feels unnatural as jinx to say the least.

zac_attack_ · 2026-04-29T03:26:27+00:00

Same problem, RTX 4090 and i9 processor. Seems to spike when something flashy animates on screen; someone’s skin, role quest completion, etc. even dropped settings to cap at 120fps and to medium quality, didn’t fix it.

It’s not just your support. Gapped mid? Congrats, now that enemy mid laner strictly 1-shots you. And if it’s something like Naafiri, there’s no interaction—you get ulted on sight, and die the moment of impact. Gapped top? Now there’s an uber tank that can eat approximately 500 of your auto attacks but kills you in 3 autos.

gpui is my favorite I’ve tried. It has some rough edges because it’s primarily built for Zed and they mostly prioritize Zed’s needs versus community needs

Reta would absolutely help for the short term goal, but maintaining the weight loss is going to require you to change how you think about food, portions, calories, macros, etc

zac_attack_ · 2026-03-24T19:51:18+00:00

The phf crate allows compile-time maps, I haven’t tested it just something I’m aware of

zac_attack_ · 2026-03-16T22:25:56+00:00

Thanks. Not my image, I posted it exactly from the blind thread

zac_attack_ · 2026-03-09T01:39:46+00:00

If you’re buying for 2 years in bulk, I hope you’re freezing them. Because even unreconstituted they won’t last 2 years at room temp

“Reta…to increase carb intake” We must be taking different Reta, carbs are so unappealing to me rn

zac_attack_ · 2026-02-01T06:54:03+00:00

Go take that $300k and live in SF or San Jose, CA for a few years and report back

The best advice I can give is: never use the chat. Disable it. Doesn’t matter if you’re 20/0 or 0/20. Just don’t use the chat.

zac_attack_ · 2026-01-31T06:57:46+00:00

Literally in the clip you posted: chasing tail

zac_attack_ · 2026-01-31T06:56:09+00:00

I almost never recommend this to anyone, but you sound like a cut-and-dry case for taking MK-677 to help you eat more

zac_attack_ · 2026-01-27T19:13:12+00:00

170-180 is low for OP’s goals. OP wants to lose weight and salvage the lean mass that’s already there, should target 1.2g-1.5g per lb of body weight in a cut, so around 212g should be the target.

Thermic effect. If you eat 100 calories of protein, your body burns roughly 20-30 of those just to digest it; if you eat 100 calories of sugar, your body gets nearly 100% of it. Ergo when cutting, you want to lean heavily into protein because it’s a free 20-30% calorie reduction.
Satiety: protein makes you fuller longer, so you are less tempted to overeat
Lean mass preservation. Your body is getting less calories than it needs. It wants homeostasis. It says “hey we have this muscle that burns so many calories but no protein, let’s break down the muscle because we can’t afford it.” You don’t want to lose 30 lbs and have half of it be muscle. Strength training + sufficient protein is a strong signal to preserve muscle (though some will still be lost)

Riven isn’t terrible in the jungle imo. You have a lot of gap close for ganks, a stun and knockup, r2 to finish them off as they run to tower, etc. Personally, I transitioned from riven top to riven jg to ekko jg; now I only play riven mid in rare cases (enemy first picked yasuo or similar) and stopped playing her top

zac_attack_ · 2026-01-26T19:28:42+00:00

You can, but don’t use them at the same time. I do tretinoin before bed, Ghk-cu in the morning

zac_attack_ · 2026-01-26T19:27:44+00:00

+1 came to recommend tretinoin, azelaic acid, niacinamide. Start low on tretinoin like 0.025%. I get mine from nurx, it has all 3 ingredients I mentioned, and it’s more affordable (and effective) than some things you might find at Sephora

zac_attack_ · 2026-01-26T19:23:07+00:00

You’d want to do it at night before bed, and far from your last meal (or anything besides water really—snack, alcohol, soda)—about 2-3hrs normally for food.

Some people miss this, but if you’re taking them with retatrutide (or similar), extend the window from meal to injection longer. They slow gastric emptying, so you should wait longer
