What do you guys think of this thermal paste job from factory on his xbox 1 s?

Friend said his xbox was overheating, do you guys think this thermal paste would have been the culprit? Doesn't look like they got the middle of all places.

Reflection on Star Citizen’s growth in light of Starfield’s release.

I see so many posts and comments about the lack of seamless space/atmospheric flight and fps zero-g mechanics — things which Star Citizen nails the best but it seems a lot of people who never tried it harbour a reflexive hatred for the game to the point where they aren’t even willing to form an opinion for themselves. Past the bugginess and the inane boilerplate ‘but it’s a literal scam’/‘you’re just a cultist’ comments is an undeniably unique sci-fi experience that keeps drawing in new players. How do I know? Because despite the ostensibly endless negativity about the game being spread by every subreddit and YouTuber known by man, the community is only growing bigger each year (see provided graph) The average Star Citizen player will not tell you the game is performant nor bug-free(quite the opposite), nor that CIG doesn’t suck at meeting deadliness, nor that Chris Roberts hasn’t substantially mismanaged the project in the past or present, but rather that at the end of the day the game offers the seamless zero-g FPS gameplay and space/atmospheric flight and landings that other games like ED/Star Field/NMS can’t at nearly the same level of immersive fidelity. IF you have a beefy rig just try the damn game for free during one of their free-flight events and make up your own mind, because no other game studio — AAA or otherwise — will be crazy/foolish enough to pursue the type of experience that Star Citizen has been developing for the past 10 years, so for a lot of us SC players (and perhaps even you if you aren’t already dismissing me as another ‘brainwashed cultist’ in the comments) it is the only shot there is for the type of immersive sci-fi space-simulator that we always wanted.

Booted up AC Valhalla now my screen looks like this. Restarted, updated windows and updated drivers to no avail.

Can someone explain why this is happening, I'm playing a game having 300 fps then it drops to 50 fps for a little and it is so annoying

How do you make a loop like this only have straight tubes!? The amount of planning must have been unbelievable! What are the most OCD perfectionist loops you have seen? And any tips on building one similar to this?

Reject RGB. Embrace fine art.
