**What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.**
A combination of productivity, gaming, and 3D software and video editing. Software includes Blender, Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, potentially Maya. As for games, would like to be able to play games like Cyberpunk or games with ray tracing.
**What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?**
$2000-2500.
**When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.**
In the next month or so.
**What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (ToweOS/monitokeyboard/mouse/etc\)**
Currently have mice, keyboards, and a 24" monitor I'm going to repurpose as a secondary monitor. Pretty much just need the actual PC itself along with a main monitor (or 2, if that's an even better idea). Is the LG 27GL850 still a good option for 27" 1440p 144Hz+ monitors, or is there a better option now?
**Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?**
Washington in the US, specifically Seattle. No access to Microcenter.
**If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.**
Peripherals are all Logitech or Razer, not sure what the monitor is but I'm not too worried about it.
**Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?**
I doubt it, I'm not too familiar with the process. It'd be good to have the option in the future, but it's not super necessary now.
**Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)**
Would like a decent amount of storage (4TB+), and just overall ability to render complex tasks efficiently. I'm hoping for this budget I can end up with a machine that can handle everything I throw at it; whether it's 3D rendering, video editing, high-performance video games, or upscaling software, I want to achieve a good level of performance. If that means sacrificing being the BEST in one area to make sure the build has no weak points, that's fine with me!
**Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-towefull-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?**
I think it'd be fun to have an aesthetic-looking PC if possible... leaning toward a white window case with LEDs, probably mid-tower.
**Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?**
Sure, Windows 11 or whatever the best/newest one is now!
**Extra info or particulars:**
Nothing else! Thanks for your help in advance!

Hi,
So i have a problem. I recently bought a new computer I will list the specs below : Gigabyte x670E torus master Amd RX 7900 xtx 24gb Amd ryzen 7900x3D And hyte y60 case
The problem is that when I am playing more demanding games the computer will sometimes shutdown full and i mean everything will go black in a second. So I started to try and Tribble shoot first I checked temp and at the time it shutdown it reports being around 85-90 so in my knowledge that should not warent a complete shutdown.
But the I got to thinking is some driver or something is malfunctioning so I installed the latest driver (from this point i cant see the temp on Nzxt cam anymore) but the pc still shutdown.
And the shutdown can wary u mean I have went än entire day without it but the next it can shutdown 4 times...
The last thing I can think of is if it's the psu not having enough power. It's a 750w.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

I wanted to share a list of things I find lacking/wrong to see if you think the same. I must clarify a few things so you know where I am standing. I have not finished HFW... I have just finished the Kulrut mission of the Main story. I am a very particular kind of player as I tend to take twice the amount of time to finish a game compared to the average player. I have 97 hours on it and the statistics section says I have completed half the game, 48.77% specifically, a number that (I asume) stands for the overall game including side quests etc. Regarding the map, I haven't been anywhere beyond the stadium of the Kulrut so I have seen only half of it, literally.
All that said, let's begin.
I think that there is a lot of wasted potential when it comes to how the player interacts with the environment. This is a problem that I also had with the first game and all Open world games in general but it is specially annoying in this one because exploration, nature and ecosystems play a fundamental role on its narrative and gameplay. Considering how detailed and gorgeous are the graphics, phisycs, animations and almost everything, I find it sinful how biomes are only a visual effect with poor gameplay impact... A temperature mechanic that would force players to switch outfits (that could be a separate thing to armors or not) would have been awesome. It is ridiculous how ANYONE in these games seem to be affected by weather conditions and it is even more infuriating considering tenakth clans are basically divided into biomes. Sky people for example, half naked in the middle of the snow on top of a mountain. I remember getting to the desert at the beginning of the game and seeing in awe a huge sand tornado just to find out that it does not harm me at all... There are so many ways in which weather and temperature could affect the game mechanically. Machines being slower and easier to freeze in the snow biomes and the opposite in extremely hot weather. Stuff like that. The small rainforest section I could see so far is empty... Visually stunning but empty and boring. Animals are almost the same in every biome (with a few insignificant exceptions). It breaks the immersion for me to see a boar or a pig in every single place I go. And it is always THE SAME PIG OR BOAR, THERE ARE NOT EVEN 2 DIFFERENT MODELS. How animals interact with the environment and how inconsistent to real life they are is also horrible to me. I mean, Artemis did a TERRIBLE job at restoring earth's wildlife. That without mentioning the lack of different species and animals. It could have been cool to see aggressive animals too, like bears, snakes, big cats, idk, SOMETHING. The whole hunting system could be polished too, because, as it is, this is just like pressing triangle to pick something up but shooting a single arrow first. In their current state, they are just one-shot targets packed with items.
Plants suffer from the same things as animals, a few slight variations per biome but even worse as they are useless. Cactus for desert, snow plant for snow, water plant for water. It feels like a kid designed it. No real incentive for the player to gather plants really. And no, potions are not an answer, buying them is cheaper and time-saving not to mention how easy to find they are.
Travelling from one place to another is also... Meh. I think that fast travel should exist but be more limited IMO. The campfire shouldn't even exist and saving should be mannual (from the main menu) and automatic. In its current state, there is no reason why the player should go anywhere by foot or using a machine. Fast travel packs should be A LOT MORE EXPENSIVE and work as a whole settlement. It would have been cool if they would have taken RDR2 idea where you have to set a camp. The feeling of travelling alone in a dangerous land is lost the moment I can run a few meters away from a machine and fast travel to the other side of the map. It would be a lot more immersive and make cities or small settlements more valuable. You never get to feel unsafe, alone, far from civilization. As there is probably a campfire, abandoned settlement, city or town every 100 meters. Everything is easy, quick, at hand.
The game's economy does also need some rework. Crafteable items shouldn't be for sale at all. That way, gathering stuff would feel more rewarding and necessary. The same goes for animal and machine parts. The last two are negotiable, make them expe sive, really expensive, and that merchants that offer those products are rare and scarce, just like the special merchants from meridian that doesn't exist in this game. I actually love how they handled machine parts in this game as you have to change strategies to get a specific part, no complaints with that.
Machines are nerfed during side and main quests. This is so stupid and mainstream-designed bullshit and I cannot stand it. It is so ridiculous how dumb and weak a thunderjaw is in a quest compared to hunting it in the open world. This was not a thing in HZD or at least I do not recall it being like that.
"Anyway, that is all I got for now GAIA. Time to tuck in."
"I Wish you a pleasant sleep, Garluck."

I loved how the Turrets say Thank You when you upgrade them. The way they say it sounds like you saved someone's life in battle. Almost as there is an actual person trapped in the machine which raises some theories about the general story. Machines in the game in general speak like there is someone inside trying to get free. I think it's brilliant and adds so much to the general environment of the game.

I'm bored as hell rn so I thought I'd just list some ideas I think could be good additions to the game to get feedback on them and see what other people think should be added.
We need more healing items, so here's two:
An adrenaline Shot, just stim but it's either red or yellow instead of green, and it recharges your energy very quickly and fully but is VERY expensive, maybe it could have a plant you could grow that takes 5 days instead of 3?
A pill item could be cool, it heals you instantly but for less total than an NRS, maybe a quarter HP? Made with either the plants we already have or another new one?
Utility items:
A flaregun could be cool, a small bright red gun with one shot. When fired it calls in an airdrop. Only works on island and could be like keycards in value, with a few static spawns across the maps?
A claymore or trap item could be sick, but it would have to be pretty obvious to keep from being too annoying. I think something like how they do it in r6 with the super visible lasers could be okay, and maybe it being set up takes a moment and is loud, plus taking up a lot of space in bags?
Boss and a vault idea
Something like a case that has a small chance to spawn at select POIs on either Matka or Island maybe, it has three guards. They each are just normal Fenix but the ones with better guns like M4s, glocks, those ones. One of the three drop a case(similar in size to a flight recorder or car battery?) That when opened has a chance for a keycard or similar high value items(GPUs, the flare gun maybe, that stuff).
I think it would be cool if Matka Underground had a train that spawned sometimes like island has the airdrop. It has 3 or 4 purple chests and 2 normal ones, and a few scavs inside guarding the loot! Pretty simply idk, maybe it could have a keycard room instead.
Weapon ideas!
Putting in the KelTec KSG shotgun could be really cool(a gun I personally like lol). 14 rounds in an internal magazine) alongside maybe adding dragons breath shotgun shells?
Another LMG you could buy would be nice, maybe the M248 SAW?
An automatic or machine pistol could be fun, possibly the Baretta 93R? Plus a revolver like the Colt Python or Colt SAA?
And finally, maybe a DMR or two? I feel like they could be fun, similar to sniping
More pouches!
I want a holster for a pistol I can put on my vest so I can either have two(to use at the same time ofc!) Or to hold even Mac 10 to use alongside a sniper?
One that holds between 1 and 3 NRS or maybe a 1 shot energy stick could be nice? Saves bag space and makes them easier(and quieter) to access?
Or what about a canteen or food pouch? That way for like island raids we can save space in our bag? This could be put where the shotgun shell Pouch can go.
Helmet Attachment: Flashbang resistant goggles? Something that you can put on your helmet in the place of NVGs that make flashes not effect you as much? Idk if this would be worth bringing since nobody really uses flashes, but.
Maybe they could add something like a weapon sling? It allows you to carry an addition weapon, but you can only access it when you are not wearing a vest or bag at all. This way you can carry an addition gun out, but it's much harder to get to so you can't switch to it mid fight?
Idk it's really late and I'm tired so these may be stupid lol. Opinions? Ideas of your own?

I want to develop a character who has DID derived from PTSD, which in turn arose from a four-day period of suffering different atrocities. The character has no explicit memories of this four-day period, but their subconscious locks it away to avoid the pain of trauma and develops disorders as a defense mechanism. In addition to the mentioned disorders, the character has developed a refusal to eat food due to an apparently irrational line of thought and sensation that if they eat, they would be hypocritical for something, and therefore, more guilty. The character has 5 personalities. So far, I've only been able to conceptualize 3: the assistant, the machine, and the monster.
The monster is the murderous and harmful personality. It's what the character most instinctively tries to avoid manifesting, even if they don't know exactly why. It's the embodiment of their potential evil, and its appearances are always accompanied by tension and suspense. Even if not actually manifested (or is it?), the mere fact of appearing in nightmares and hallucinations already triggers panic attacks in the character. This is the most mysterious personality because the character has doubts about the nature of this personality that doesn't offer many explanations beyond the simple fact that it knows everything about him and is playing and affecting him; Is it a personality or a distinct demon? Is it a delusion or is it real? Is it himself or a separate being pretending to be him to scare him? Is it capable of killing the personalities, and if so, why doesn't it do it immediately instead of leaving the personalities unharmed? Why psychologically torture him if the function of fragmented personalities is to help in self-preservation? If it's real, why does it let him escape at the end of its ''games''? This personality (or not) is physically the largest, the most technological, the most inhuman, and presents more feats of strength despite appearing less, all geared towards psychological torture mainly, a literal kind of haunting like Pennywise's. It wreaks psychological havoc on the character in each of its personalities, and the most sensitive one, which is the one the other personalities most try to avoid being impacted by the monster, is the assistant personality, the personality that personifies human essence and, being based on the Superego and Ego and reflecting the distant past spent with his deceased good mother whose values were transmitted in his childhood and adolescence, is the personality that tries to maintain order, predominate, and reunite the fragmented personalities, although this self-imposed role is not easy and it is difficult to deal with the fear of what could happen if people found out that he and the other four 'people' are actually the same person who has DID; it is difficult to represent order while his other parts are more inclined to chaos and there is no direct interaction between the personalities. The assistant personality has blindness, whose degree varies depending nuancemente on the external and internal security situation it feels, but is always present because it results from an unresolved trauma. Glasses are used, the only one who does this. Blindness is more present in the assistant personality and less manifested in the other personalities because they are more detached from humanity. The assistant personality is the most divergent from what the character was before DID. Its form is more human, shorter, and less cybernetic, precisely because it reflects a distant period from the current one of the character. (A side note: the character is, in a way, a shapeshifter, so its personalities have a distinct form, some more similar to each other and others less similar, and vice versa. The metamorphosis is restricted to the forms the character has already had in its life and afterlife, and those forms it did not have are a more adapted version of the personality concept). The assistant is the most sensitive personality and the one that most tries to be virtuous, and because of these characteristics, it is the most vulnerable to the monster.
The machine personality is the psychological barrier. A wall for any emotions. An internal shield for trauma. It looks like a robot, like a machine, both for sentimental and behavioral issues. It does not feel emotions, is extremely rational, and is very connected to technology. Indeed, it is the most technological personality in the purest sense of the word, while the monster personality is the most technological in the most monstrous sense. Its function is to offer a more impartial view of situations and, because of the monster, to be the most solid shield for the assistant personality not to be haunted directly (and possibly killed) by the monster.
There are 2 more personalities to develop, and I'm working on it since it's a new idea I had.
The character is Vox.
The conceptual ideas for this fanfic that I intend to create, combined with my hobby of self-studying psychology/psychoanalysis/psychiatry, made me realize that I attribute four disorders to Vox:
• DID: According to the DSM-5 criteria, to be considered DID it is necessary: ▪︎Two or more distinct identities or personality states are present, each with its own relatively enduring pattern of perceiving, relating to, and thinking about the environment and self. ▪︎Amnesia must occur, defined as gaps in the recall of everyday events, important personal information, and/or traumatic events. ▪︎The person must be distressed by the disorder or have trouble functioning in one or more major life areas because of the disorder. ▪︎The disturbance is not part of normal cultural or religious practices. ▪︎The symptoms cannot be due to the direct physiological effects of a substance (such as blackouts or chaotic behavior during alcohol intoxication) or a general medical condition (such as complex partial seizures).
• PTSD: Symptoms of PTSD fall into the following four categories. Specific symptoms can vary in severity.
Intrusion: Intrusive thoughts such as repeated, involuntary memories; distressing dreams; or flashbacks of the traumatic event. Flashbacks may be so vivid that people feel they are reliving the traumatic experience or seeing it before their eyes. Avoidance: Avoiding reminders of the traumatic event may include avoiding people, places, activities, objects and situations that may trigger distressing memories. People may try to avoid remembering or thinking about the traumatic event. They may resist talking about what happened or how they feel about it. Alterations in cognition and mood: Inability to remember important aspects of the traumatic event, negative thoughts and feelings leading to ongoing and distorted beliefs about oneself or others (e.g., “I am bad,” “No one can be trusted”); distorted thoughts about the cause or consequences of the event leading to wrongly blaming self or other; ongoing fear, horror, anger, guilt or shame; much less interest in activities previously enjoyed; feeling detached or estranged from others; or being unable to experience positive emotions (a void of happiness or satisfaction). Alterations in arousal and reactivity: Arousal and reactive symptoms may include being irritable and having angry outbursts; behaving recklessly or in a self-destructive way; being overly watchful of one's surroundings in a suspecting way; being easily startled; or having problems concentrating or sleeping. Many people who are exposed to a traumatic event experience symptoms similar to those described above in the days following the event. For a person to be diagnosed with PTSD, however, symptoms must last for more than a month and must cause significant distress or problems in the individual's daily functioning. Many individuals develop symptoms within three months of the trauma, but symptoms may appear later and often persist for months and sometimes years. PTSD often occurs with other related conditions, such as depression, substance use, memory problems and other physical and mental health problems.
The four tabs below provide brief descriptions of four conditions related to PTSD: acute stress disorder, adjustment disorder, disinhibited social engagement disorder, and reactive attachment disorder. Source: https://www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/ptsd/what-is-ptsd • Psychotic Depression: Psychotic depression Some people who have severe depression may also experience hallucinations and delusional thinking, the symptoms of psychosis.
Depression with psychosis is known as psychotic depression.
Symptoms of depression Someone with depression feels sad and hopeless for most of the day, practically every day, and has no interest in anything. Getting through the day feels almost impossible.
Other typical symptoms of depression may include:
fatigue (exhaustion) disturbed sleep changes in appetite feeling worthless and guilty being unable to concentrate or being indecisive thoughts of death or suicide Doctors describe depression as mild, moderate or severe depending on your symptoms, how long it lasts and how much it affects your daily life.
Read more about the psychological, physical and social symptoms of clinical depression
Symptoms of psychosis Having moments of psychosis (when people lose some contact with reality) means experiencing:
delusions – thoughts or beliefs that are unlikely to be true hallucinations – hearing and, in some cases, feeling, smelling, seeing or tasting things that are not there; hearing voices is a common hallucination The delusions and hallucinations almost always reflect the person's deeply depressed mood – for example, they may become convinced they're to blame for something, or that they've committed a crime.
"Psychomotor agitation" is also common. This means not being able to relax or sit still, and constantly fidgeting.
At the other extreme, a person with psychotic depression may have "psychomotor retardation", where both their thoughts and physical movements slow down.
People with psychotic depression have an increased risk of thinking about suicide. Source for more information: https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/conditions/psychotic-depression/
• An as-yet unidentified eating disorder: This is the only one in which I do not know which exact diagnosis it fits into. It is a consequence of the trauma from the four-day period - including this period being one of the biggest mysteries in history and a great source of theories for readers, as it is the root of Vox's psychological mess, the divergence point that originated the entire fanfic and which the protagonist DOES NOT want to remember - that resulted in the trauma of eating. He does not feel like eating, not even the SIN OF GLUTTONY is able to make him eat - he is immune to her powers - and feels an apparently inexplicable instinct of guilt and hypocrisy when trying to eat, as if he were the worst being in the universe if he ate a food and a huge hypocrite; why and what exactly this innate thought of judging himself as a hypocrite is another mystery in the plot.
In this story, at least in the initial arcs, no one associates all five as being the same person, at most they associate only one/two of them with Vox. With the climaxes (yes, it's in the plural) throughout the story, the characters will find evidence and suspect and associate more and more of the other alters (as I call Vox's fragmented personalities) with the same person, which increases the narrative tension. Being the assistant personality the last to be accurately associated by the other characters, although she was the one that had the most tension and care in NOT being associated throughout the story because she is the human essence of Vox, reflects more the fragility of his soul state and is not ready to deal with the harsh social consequences that the actions of the other alters and Vox before DID caused, needing solid support and not wanting to lose all the friendly social relationships, although fragile, that he built as a separate being from Vox and the other alters. It is easier to hate than to love. The assistant personality does not want to risk losing the little support he has built. These relationships are extremely valuable to him. He doesn't want to have this taken away from him anymore. The relationships he built are based on the inhabitants of Hazbin Hotel.
All alters have Vox's trademark: the TV as
a head. All... except the assistant personality. This alter is the ONLY one that has a human head and is the smallest, being even a few centimeters smaller than Lucifer. The size of his hair goes up to just above his shoulders, but he ties them in a professional hairstyle. His clothes are similar to those of an assistant, and they have a palette of blue, black, and white colors. The color of his hair, influenced by his powers as a Media Demon, is black with dark blue streaks and tips.
His human appearance reflects a period when Vox was human. In my story Vox is a trans man, which means he was born female and went through a transition at some point in his adolescence or adulthood. The appearance of the assistant personality reflects an episode during his 13/14 years. In this episode, he did a special show for his father's assistant at a fancy restaurant. It was her last night in his life as she would unfortunately be sent away without a chance to return, and he was aware of this. He also knew that his father was responsible for her being sent away, although his innocence at the time made him not immediately detect that she would be KILLED by a hired hitman hired by the father and mother. The assistant was a loved one by the teenage Vox. She was a loving mother he never had, and because of the emotional attachment to her, he decided to do a musical show, showing for the first and last time to anyone his talent for piano and violin. He, at the time still not going through the transition, dressed more masculinely, used the best appearance he could, and used a pseudonym to enter the restaurant and make the presentation without being detected by the family. He did not explicitly specify for whom the music was intended, but the assistant, secretly his true biological mother, knew it was for her. That was the last time he would see her, and he made every second of that night count.
Vox's human female name was Elizabeth. I chose this name because it is a beautiful name, it was the name of the former queen of the United Kingdom, and it was the name of one of Jack the Ripper's victims, Elizabeth Stride.
Vox, during his adult life as a man and even post-death, buried his past as a woman. It was not a source of pride, especially for the family abuses suffered and the transphobia of the time. If the Vees, the people closest to him currently, do not have a deep understanding of Vox's human life as a man, imagine their knowledge of the initial part of his life before the transition!
That's why being called "Elizabeth" during the direct and indirect appearances of the monster personality already causes genuine and unmasked panic in him. It is an indication of knowledge of his deepest layers.
The story has a suspenseful atmosphere, with some horror scenes. We follow the alters individually, and as the story progresses, we realize along with the protagonist some strange, wrong things. The alters do not communicate directly with each other and, therefore, the character does not immediately perceive the signs of having multiple personalities. It was as if there were four people in one body and none of them noticed, according to the perspective of the assistant personality, the alter that we slowly follow discovering the huge web of the situation he's in. There's something very wrong with Vox, more specifically his soul. But there's an invisible barrier that prevents the character from investigating further, like an elephant in the middle of the room. Each alter has its own course, all acting as if they were distinct people and not associating with each other. This is bad socially speaking in the long run, because sooner or later the clash of beliefs and values built among the alters will come into conflict and the individual consequences of their actions will negatively impact each other. The monster personality served to add more salt to the wound. It is by far the most harmful, appearing little but causing a huge mess in return. Don't think of it as a kind of Hulk, because Hulk is a destructive monster that his counterpart, Bruce, can try to control and turn into a hero, and everyone is aware of Hulk's nature, which is easy to understand and try to contain; whereas the monster personality is an enigma at the same time as it is a nightmare, there is no discussion with it, it causes psychological terror in Vox's alters, its apparently internal actions affect the external world of the alters, it is unpredictable, it is the literal meaning of hell. The monster personality has already caused physical harm to the alters, although they did not exactly remember, mainly the assistant personality, the most oblivious of all for a reason. I want to relate the monster personality to Roo.

hey guys!! I am looking to get my first PC and have a max budget of around $1500 AUD not incl monitor, keyboard etc. I've watched a bunch of yt videos and played around on pcpartpicker and came up with whats below. I honestly know nothing about PC building & want to try and get something pretty cheap that will let me run games like fortnite, sims 3 & 4, phasmophobia, minecraft, stardew and other steam games. I also like to mod my games pretty heavily so want something that can handle my mods haha.
please lmk what I should change and if everything is compatible with eachother!! Thank you !

Hi guys,
Last week I bought a new computer and until today I was losing my mind over a stuttering problem I was constantly having during games (then i notice that the problem was also happeninig when not gaming).
This problem happens every time I switch to a single monitor after starting a game using dual monitors.
Steps:

1. Extend the display to second monitor
2. Open CS2
3. Join the server (FPS are fine)
4. Switch to single monitor
5. Check the FPS again (stuttering)

FPS before while using dual monitor
https://youtu.be/u-urXhDyS48
FPS after change to single monitor
https://youtu.be/jZOjeMaReNo
I know that the obvious fix for my problem is simply not to switch after opening the game. However, has anyone experienced something similar?
If so, what fix do you suggest for this problem?

I start my pc and begin to play a game, it will works fine for 30min to 1h depending on the game, and then the MoBo seems to "restart", the pc stutters, becomes very laggy, all the usb and ethernet ports desactivates and reactivates (I don't have internet for several minutes and my headset which is connected via USB don't works for several minutes too). I restart my pc and all work fine, and no problem until I will shut it down at the end of the day and cold start it the next day.
One strange thing is that yesterady I tried to cold start it and directly restart it, and I thought it will works fine, but not. It is like the pc is waiting for something to crash to allow me to restart it properly.
I tried several things but for now I cannot get rid of this problem.
If someone has/had the same problem or anyone has a magical solution i'm all ears.
Thanks in advance.

Let's face it, staring at a computer screen all day can wreak havoc on your eyes. Dryness, irritation, and that dreaded blur – all signs of digital eye strain. But before you resign yourself to a life behind bulky glasses, consider your contact lens options!
Contacts for Comfort:

• Wider field of view: Unlike glasses, contacts move with your eyes, offering a more natural viewing experience.
• Reduced dry eye: Certain contact lens materials are designed to retain moisture, keeping your eyes feeling fresh throughout the day.
• Active lifestyle friendly: No more worrying about glasses slipping or fogging up during your midday workout. Contacts offer a hassle-free solution.

Combating Eye Strain:

• Blue light filtering lenses: Some contact lenses now come with built-in blue light filters, potentially reducing eye fatigue caused by prolonged screen exposure. (Talk to your eye doctor to see if these are right for you!)
• Blink more consciously: Blinking helps lubricate your eyes. Staring at screens can decrease blink rate, so make a conscious effort to blink more often.
• The 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look away from your screen for 20 seconds at something 20 feet away. This helps your eyes refocus and relax.

Remember:

• Schedule regular eye exams: This ensures your contact lens prescription is up-to-date and your eye health is monitored.
• Maintain proper hygiene: Always follow cleaning and storage instructions for your contact lenses.
• Don't sleep in your contacts! This increases the risk of infection.

Contact lenses can be a game-changer for computer users. Talk to your eye doctor about the best options for your eyes and screen time habits. With the right care, you can enjoy clear vision and comfortable eyes all day long!

Hello,
For some reason, my game started lagging rally hard, we're talking 10 to 20 lasting long lags.
What I tried so far: First, I edited my config files with stuff I found online, but that didn't help. Second, I deleted the config files all together. That did not help either. Then I removed all my mods in case those were causing the issue. Still nothing. So last thing I did, I reinstalled the whole game thinking maybe some files were corupted. Also nothing. Right now, I wanna try updating my Nvidia drivers, because that's the last thing I can think of that could cause this issue.
Few things to note: When I get the lag, the whole game freezes and even my computer goes quiet, meaning all processing completely stops, so it's probably not caused by my very good internet connection. When the lag occurs, other people see me freeze in the spot with running animation still going. So while on my side it looks like a performance issue, on other players' side it behaves like a regular intenrnet lag, but that might just be the way the engine works (remember the frame unlock glitch when the game released?). GF has these lags too, though they don't occur as frequently as mine and they're not that long either, usually about 5 seconds.
My HW: RTX2060S, i5 9600, 16gb ram,
Is or has anybody experienced this too? From what I found, this has been an issue since the game released, but is there a solution to it? Is there something I can do to get rid of them or at least minimize them as much as possible?
Thank you.

I honestly think it would be fun if Flash wasn't seen as a required summoner spell. It would open up a second slot for most champions and it would allow for more diverse gameplay. Sure some champs rely heavily on Flash, but I think it should be less of a requirement and more situational. Am I an ADC and the enemy team has a nasty assassin? Barrier and exhaust. Does the enemy have a Malphite? Then Flash. Will fights last for a long time? Ghost.
What do you think? Do you think the game would benefit from having a weaker Flash?

I'm American, currently living in the Middle East. I am an introvert (ISTP); hobbies mostly center around casual PC gaming (mostly single player and co-op). There are a few franchises that I'm really into, namely the Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect, and the Witcher for video games, then there's Star Wars (pre-disney), the Big Bang Theory, and Dragon Ball (RIP Toriyama) for shows/anime. I do like some other animes, probably too many to list here. I really enjoy ancient history, specifically Roman and Byzantine. I'm very handy, having built computers and fixed certain appliances in the past.
Physically, I am white, about 170cm with blue eyes. I wear glasses constantly, and usually have a short beard.
I like to live my life at a slower pace, and usually am pretty relaxed. I prefer to stay in most nights, but enjoy going out too.

Hi, it's my first time building a PC and I want to know if I need to have a GPU before I build my PC. I live in Australia and right now I only have enough money to buy every component apart from the GPU. I'm planning on getting a rtx 4070 or 4070 super, depending on which one has a better deal. For my CPU I'm getting a ryzen 5 7600 along with 32 GB of ddr5 cl30 ram. (See part picker below) I was planning on getting all the parts except for the GPU and using the integrated graphics on the CPU until I can afford the GPU. I plan on playing games like terraria and making beats in FL Studio while I wait for my GPU. Is the any reason that I shouldn't do this?
