Neither the oil on your hands nor the water condensing on the surface are changing the roughness of the material. It's just refraction on top of more refraction.

Prime 1 is a game I've replayed many, many times but I only seem to remember finishing it once.
And I seem to remember a big reason for that being the trifecta of half of the game's atmosphere being toxic for 2/3 of the game, the ammo system for the beams, and bonkers save station placement.

Ah, the Pink Floyd dichotomy.
Rog wants it to sound like the record. Dave and Rick felt playing live was no fun if there was no improvisation.

Tax brackets should be set using a logarithmic scale purely for the sake of making becoming a billionaire a legal impossibility. I.E, in order for your tax rate percentage to double, you'd need ten times more income (10% up to 10K, 20% at 100K, 40% at 1 million, etc.)

CoD2's big issue is that IW assumed we wanted "all Stalingrad all the time" as far as intensity is concerned. And it's exhausting because of that.

I don't know how you use YouTube, but if you only care about your subscribed channels' video uploads, you can always disable collecting watch history. It will eventually completely break the front page, but YouTube will also eventually stop recommending...that.

Unrelated to my TV tenure, I was taught in high school how to properly vet sources and look for the "about" section on websites, but I do also remember a lot of classmates getting marked down for improper source usage, so it probably doesn't stick for many.

Did you happen to get any massive CPU-related frametime spikes running the XOpenGL renderer? If so, how did you correct it?
