How do you cope with shader processing? (sh.itjust.works)

It feels like I mine bitcoins for our Great Daddy Gaben every other update, setting my CPU at 100% for a long time.

I know it makes difference (to skipping it and eating lags), it works, but how it doesn't use previous literal gigabytes of generated shaders, starting from 0% every time? Why it takes so much time?

I feel like I'm a dumbass and I miss something obvious. Or I just feel like I'm alone with it? Do you guys all deal with it?

Am sitting at 66% percents, my PC heats like it renders video in Premiere, just to let me play the game I've played yesterday again. Guess all my recycling and replanting routine can fuck right off with that power consumption. Sorry, nature, I tried.

But anyway if you are tired of it or knows some tricks, write what's on your mind.

What stupid ideas are you invalidating right now, besides me jokingly comparing your writing style to a bot's one? It's not about answering fast enough (that's possible, you are wrong there, hehe), you miss keys while printing since your first answers. I know you are real. I'm just confused by how you write. That's all.

I never meant my PC was mining bitcoins in the first place. I said it again and again. I think now that's settled?

Our argument is stupid. And as you descended to insults, it's not even funny. Feel free to tag me this fucking idiot on Lemmy, I think that we'd see each other again. Hope, next time would be more productive.
