High CPU usage with GPU encoder

Hi all, my Medal is eating up my CPU's bandwidth no matter what I do. I set the encoder to GPU and it still takes up 20-30% of my CPU's processing power. Even when I'm not recording any games or my desktop, even with the recorder disabled, it still sits around 15%. My games run well enough, but the performance decrease is noticeable enough that it sometimes causes consistent stuttering when my CPU peaks, and I want to do as much as I can to decrease how hot my room gets. Would really like to know what I'm missing to fix this, or if it's a bug, or anything that might help.

For context, GPU is AMD RX 7700 XT and CPU is Intel i5 12400f.

New budget derailleur options

Hi guys, the derailleur on my bike recently discovered what a curb tastes like and now I need a new one but I'm not sure what to get. I've been poking around at Shimano's low end stuff, mostly at the Tourney TX800 or Altus M310, and I've glanced at the Acera M3020 as well but that's right at the top of what I'm willing to spend (around ~$50 CAD)

​

I'd get a higher quality derailleur but I'm on a bit of a budget, and my el cheapo bike doesn't see too much abuse anyways, I just want something that doesn't shift like ass so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

​

I'm really only familiar with Shimano so if anyone knows of other brands that are both budget friendly and somewhat reliable it would be nice to know. My bike's a 3x7, 14-28t, but I never use the largest cog so really any 6/7/8 derailleur should work.

Last night's game. Who do you think won?

20VP, 3 players (White, Blue, Orange), C&K + SF + Harbourmaster from T&B

Ignore the Largest Army + Development cards, we put them out but didn't use them as this game was with C&K

How can I remove this cup?

I know it's reverse threaded, but it doesn't want to budge. It seems it's not flush against the housing, I'm thinking it might be crossthreaded but I'm not sure.

What part is supposed to go here?

Recently rebuilt my bike and noticed there wasn't anything to hold the derailleur bracket in place. The axle nut can hold it in place and it doesn't move, but putting the wheel in when the derailleur isn't stable is super difficult so I'd love to know what it's called so I can buy a replacement.

Genuinely how the hell do I play Evelyn

Hi guys, sort of a returning player, I've been back for about two months. I used to play well back before season 2, apparently I grabbed Evelyn when her banner was out but I never built her at all, I guess after that's when I stopped playing for whatever reason. Since I've returned I started trying to learn how to play her but I'm clearly doing something wrong because even my Billy build is doing more damage. She's level 60 with 4pc Woodpecker and 2pc B&BS with CR p4, Fire p5 and ATK p6, 2.5k ATK, + the Brimstone cus I never pulled her engine. I tried watching some guides on youtube but I couldn't really get a hand of it.

Maybe it helps that I don't really have a team for her, best I can do is either Lycaon or Anby and Nicole or Yuzuha, I have a few others (Pulchra, and Lucy but I don't really like Lucy and I genuinely despise Pulchra so they're both level 1). Can somebody dumb it down for me, cus I'm genuinely lost on how to play her

I have other good agents I can play, I have Yixuan and Jane and I know what I'm doing with them but Evelyn just feels so shit in comparison and I know she's good, I just can't figure jt out

We had an argument about whether White could move this boat, more so wondering if this counts as a closed intersection. I know Red wouldn't be able to move their boat since White's settlement makes it a closed intersection, but would White be allowed to move this boat?
