Man, did Sunkist always have caffeine?

Once upon a time, it did not. It tastes really odd with it, and why I don't drink it anymore.

In other news, I FINALLY figured out why I'd have such bad FPS changes despite having such a high end laptop. Turns out there's a program called GameBar Presence Writer caked into Windows itself. Whenever I was playing FF14 or any other PC game, it was taking packets from the game as well. Proceeded to do a workaround to rename it so it wouldn't be used by the system. Now I have stable 90FPS (I capped it a while back in Nvidia) in every area, I don't even lag anymore during the big AoEs for the first boss of the new 24 man. I feel like I've broken free from shackles.

I never knew Sunkist had caffeine in it. I've always either drank tea, coffee, or soda for my hits.

Also never knew of GameBar Presence. Makes me wonder what else Windows baked into itself.

I've got a midrange gaming laptop and now you make me want to check for it myself.

If you want to give it a shot, this is the video I used for it.

I think I deleted my twitter account in like 2006; I just can't seem to do social media.

Oh I use Twitter to watch artists and gaming news. That's about it, I rarely am social on it.
