"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.")

Happy birthday, Kyle! 🥳🥳

aaah thank you! it’s been so long since i’ve drawn anything south park related, i feel old and rusty. but these 2 obscure background characters who never appeared in the actual show still have my affectionhere i’ve recently doodled a tiny gregory in clip studio paint (im trying to learn how it works and honestly it’s super nice)

And he was a veteran in the moonlight, capturing the smoke in his lungs before its prompt release. I, on the other hand, stood meek and cold, lurching forward with a fire in my chest, expelling ash and tar and sickness from my throat. He didn’t laugh at my choked sobs, the tears in my eyes, or my disgruntle dry heaves trying to fight back bile; he continued, eyes on the stars in the bitter cold as I watched his soul escape through blurred vision.
