Games dont feel very optimized anymore

This is on purpose. Game studios decided that instead of bothering with all sorts of complex graphics hacks to get games to run fast they can just crank ray tracing and use temporal anti-aliasing. The result being that you need one of the latest generation cards to run these games at all since they don't degrade gracefully to lower specs.

Until very recently I was still running a 1080, which runs pretty much any game (even recent ones) at high graphics settings. As soon as a game uses ray tracing or temporal anti-aliasing it won't even run at the lowest potato settings possible.

The invincible should not look like this at <15fps and be a blurry mess when moving on minimum settings while halo infinite looks way better while rendering way more things on the same machine at high settings at 60fps.

Same thing if the food tastes too greasy or fatty. Lemon juice isn't a bad go-to for whenever you go "this dish is missing something, but what?"

Heat cooking oil in the pan until it starts smoking. Hey presto it's seasoned. Tomato will not strip it, nor will soap. Intense scrubbing will.

Cast iron is so easy to care for. Just don't stick it in the dishwasher or let it stay wet after washing.

For sure not true for a lot of games. Surely all the videos before the main menu isn't it loading the main menu? How much processing power could a menu possibly take.

Nano has a cheat sheet at the bottom of the screen at all times

In Stray you can put a paper bag on your head. It inverts your controls for a bit. I liked that.

My dad owned part of one of the first wind turbines in the country, does that count?
