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.

I was asked why they sounded like a bot to me, no? I made no point writing that.

You weren't asked why you thought they were a bot. As I said, none of us seriously believed you thought they were a bot. We asked what the point being made by that joke was.

And I said it has no point.

If your joke has no point, then it's just a statement.
