You know Raven, I can’t respond to you if you keep deleting your posts.
And yes, my dog and the food are two separate things. When I was outside shoveling, my dog took all the blankets in the house and made a fort in my living room and he’s just been cuddly all day.
Sorry. I read it, but not well. Apologies for the misunderstanding…and too many syllables
Chili dog is nice; chilly dog…:

I managed to convince Divinity 2 to work again \ :3 /
Honestly, coffee is what got me out of bed.
That is amazing! Where are the photos?!

A friend of mine just got a decent PC and Borderlands 2, so I’ve naturally come back to play with him. For some reason, it runs really, really bad on Windows 10.
I’m on Windows 10, and it’s running fine? I’m not saying Windows 10 isn’t absolutely capable of this, I’m just saying it’s also capable of running it fine. Did Windows (for example) shove its own graphics driver on you?
Nah, I clean installed my AMD drivers, checking manually for updates whenever they come out, etc. It’s not drivers or anything (I’ve tried old and new), the only factor that changed between maxing out my framerate to my 75hz refresh rate was Windows 7 to Windows 10.
On rare occasions on 7, I could drop to 70FPS, but I’m now regularly plummeting to 30FPS in situations where I would never drop framerate at all. And my GPU usage plummets to 50% or lower at those times, and my CPU is barely being used at all.
For some strange reason, Windows 10’s upgrade has caused an issue, which I’ve seen other people note. Even in other DX9 games, my framerate has gone up 5-6FPS in stressful situations. Honestly, I’m bewildered by the issue. There’s no reason for it to act this way. It’s simply not using my hardware.
Windows 10 has a real issue with that. It might be as simple. I know sweetfx works with 7 but not 10, and causes those frame drops.
You can try this if your not using a reshader
Yeah, I’m just running the game with only in-game options changed (No INI edits), and I can confirm that my drivers are the newest AMD drivers from sometime earlier this month. I literally just clean installed them, and DDU disables Windows’ ability to install its own over the official ones, too. The problem isn’t that the drivers aren’t the correct ones, it’s that somewhere along the line, specifically with Borderlands 2, or maybe just DX9 UE3 games are running badly in general (I can’t confirm this. I’d have to download something like Mirror’s Edge again, unless I can find other DX9 UE3 games in my library). I can confirm that Skyrim actually saw a 5-6FPS boost with Windows 10, and with how heavily modded it is, I’m surprised it did get a boost. Being a nightmare of a DX9 game, I’m fairly certain the problem is somewhere else down the line for my performance problems, but I’m honestly not sure where.
(I read the first post of that thread, by the way. That’s what I’m confirming here.)
(Edit: And the rest of it now too. No, the issue isn’t as simple as drivers being the incorrect version, I wish it was that easy.)
All brilliant films
Also awesome
Oh god I cant wait for this, I can rewatch the incredibles whenever its on 
I cannot stress how good this film is
Lost 4 more pounds, back down to my ideal weight of 200 lbs.
Nice! My ‘diet’ is going ok. Have been trying to have less sugar and alcohol; it’s not going perfectly but I’ve definitely improved. Also been going out for walks. My family are keen on that so I should get some practice when I see them this holiday. @KrewlraiN is my healthy lifestyle inspriation!
Congrats man. Reaching a physique related goal is always a great feeling.
Keep up the good work Hattie.
[quote=“hattieinduni, post:5582, topic:500”]healthy lifestyle inspriation![/quote]This might be a good idea for a new thread. I think many (most?) people have some goal related to their well-being, and are anywhere along the path from considering the idea to exceeding their expectations. Sharing this experience, the struggle, the successes, can help motivate some people to start or stick with some plan.
At work, we get free food (one hot meal, and as many trips to the soup/salad bar and soda fountains as we like), which made this a little difficult.
I cut out soft drinks a few years ago (although I’ll have one with a meal when eating at a restaurant but only to chase the food… it amounts to literally a couple of ounces, and I’m fine with that).
I stopped getting french fries with every meal (haven’t had them for a year now, not that I’m opposed to eating them, but not like that).
One of the accounting ladies keeps a constant variety of huge chocolate bars (broken into their little bits) on her desk for people to have. Our receptionist desk has a bunch of hard candy available in a little basket, our regulators’ receptionist desk has a tub of mini chocolate bars at any given time. During the holidays, we get gift baskets from vendors full of various confections, numerous people show up with huge three-pound boxes of chocolate truffles that they place out for everyone to eat, the meals for our catered meetings invariably have Danishes/donuts as the main course, at our large department meetings, someone will bring in homemade cake or pie, and some employees and guests will just show up with boxes/tins of cookies. I’ve started my own little challenge to count the pounds of sugar that I’m not eating by avoiding all of this (where previously I would graze without issue), and it’s a lot. Not that I don’t eat chocolate, but I’ve had a dam on the deluge at work for maybe two years now.
Pizza winds up on the menu often, between leftovers from various meetings made available in employee dining, to being a staple of eating out with friends and family. I like it, but cut those generic sources out and only get it on my own maybe once every couple months from a wonderful little brick oven place up the hill from my house. They have a dog-friendly patio outside too, so I’ll hit it when returning from some long adventure with my dog.
I have an elliptical downstairs that I hit on occasion, and I hike/mountain bike often. I’ve started jogging a bit too on occasion over the last year, but that needs some work. As I type this with the winter solstice just a few days away, it’s been cold, dark/overcast, and occasionally rainy/snowy, which puts a cramp on my mid-week exercise routine. I lost fourteen pounds over the course of my trip to Japan, and hope to keep it off during the winter with more to lose next year.
Well, good thing my new earring came in a pair. So my mother helped me modify the second one so it can’t fall out.
We do have a thread here.

Happy to point you in the right direction. 
Today’s workout made me happy. Felt really strong today and as always, my youngest cat always comes down to keeps me company when I’m training. He gets attention between sets and loves it.
