Your friend probably has autism; the thing in common all of these have is they're singular textures:
E.g: Pear juice and apple sauce are mushy and fruity, the chips and pickle are crunchy, and the PB&J and stick are soft.
Don't bully people with autism, let them eat their chicken tendies (or a PB&J with pickle) for 349 straight days in a row in peace.
I write in cursive and I have people ask me to read what I wrote.
I'm trilingual, so I figure I might have accidentally written it in Ukrainian cursive, but it's English, so I look up like:
"You just have really bad handwriting"

Hello -- living incarnation of the Internet here.
I've played pretty much every shooter and most multiplayer ones since 1994.
The main issue with extraction shooters is that they are hardcore PvP-focused with resources lost and resources gained on every match.
Given that players lose actual lifetime from dying to another player in an extraction shooter, this creates an impetus for many players to cheat, given the asymmetrical distribution of skill in online shooters (it is statistically supposed be a perfect bell curve with everyone being average).
Without robust anti-cheat (e.g: Invasive kernel-level AC like Valorant/FaceIT and borderline malware) every and any extraction shooter becomes a cheater-ridden hellhole, where all of the resources of every match or map are funneled into the hands of a few players.
Players burned on prior titles know this ahead of time and throw their hands up in the air and say: "Great, another shitty extraction shooter".
See: Tarkov et al.
I was here when it happened Lemmy
Oh holy shit.
I think you're actually right, it's probably Denuvo tanking performance
You have to enable HDR in the Windows 10 settings, do Win+I, type "HD Color", and then set your AMD display drivers to "Color Correction" in Display to adjust for the bad Win10 HDR implementation.
My recommendation is:
Temperature: 10000
Brightness: -10
Hue: 0 (default)
Contrast: 120
Saturation: 165
Then enable HDR in Dark Ages, followed by FSR and Frame Gen, if you want.
HDR is the key.
I have FSR working (Win10+ AMD 7900XTX), but it's obvious that they have screwed the pooch in optimization.
I just finished Doom: Eternal yesterday before the Dark Ages came out and it ran fully maxed out at 1440p @ 240 FPS without upscaling and was gorgeous.
Dark Ages looks pretty much the same as Eternal, but runs at 120-144 FPS.
That's still absolutely playable but how did it lose 50% performance in an IDTech game?
You're right, they haven't cracked consciousness.
Imagine if you would, the publicly available technology, and then the private R&D or government sector, protected by NDAs and Secret/DoNotDistribute classifications respectively.

I have friends from elementary school who I routinely will try to find and ask them about stuff from third grade.
The vast majority of them have no idea who I am -- I ran this experiment a few more times with people from middle school and high school, and then college.
I have determined that the average long-term memory for human being is 7 years.
After 7 years you basically get deleted from their memory and while you can prompt their long-term memory it's a bit almost like memory implantation you're giving them information about something which may or may not be true.
E.g: "Remember that hot air balloon ride we went on when we were six?"
"Haha, yeah I remember."
"Really? Because that's some bullshit I just made up there's no hot air balloons in the city."
What the fuck :O
That's my CD-Key! Aaaaaa
