The star painted over in landlord white

"I feel like I was born a bad person, I corrupt everything I touch, I am so deeply afraid that if you look at me any closer you'll see I am not worthy of your love even though I worship you and I would do anything for you, I don't understand why you love me but I would lay down my life for you."

and

*funky instrumental music* "I AM NOT A VARMINT" repeated fifty times

and

"I went to the future and I couldn't find you there, everyone forgot you except me, they forgot me too but it's fine, it's fine, it's fine."

and

*sad guitar music* "oooooo I'm a cowboy and I love my boyfriend"

and

"Smooth edges of screen fonts"

My computer was running hot before I turned everything off; the office I'm in is very warm, I could feel the heat of my CPU through the keyboard. The fans were going, not as loud as they usually get, but they were still blasting.

Y'all.

I can barely feel the warmth through the keyboard now. It's been like 2 minutes. The fan is nearly silent.

Click the Windows key and start typing "System settings", and "View Advanced system settings" will pop up. Then click "Settings" under Performance:

Then you'll see this:

TURN IT ALL OFF.

10AppsManager lets you uninstall bloatware. Winaero Tweaker lets you disable crap like Cortana/Copilot, ads, telemetry, internet search results when you search from the taskbar, and all kinds of other stuff, plus it gives you lots of other little options that are just nice to have (like, it can restore the old MS Paint program in place of Paint 3D). Both are totally free.

Oh, and check your startup programs in the Task Manager tab to make sure your computer isn't automatically starting eight million programs every time it boots. But I think people mostly know about that. (Unless this is me going "they only know one or two feldspars... and quartz of course.")
