What do you do......

[Ialyrn]

When you're pc is doing some serious tasks? By that, I mean while transferring massive amounts of data from old USB 2.0 hard drives, or stress testing a new cpu or overclock, rendering a video or intensive 3d scene.

Today I was moving some files around, and I tend not to use my pc while doing that, or anything else such as rendering. So while I was waiting, I spent an hour making some Shortbread and some chocolate biscuits. So what does everyone else do to pass the time while their rig is otherwise indisposed?

Sometimes I browse the web on my phone... or my machine. 2 days ago I baked muffins because my internet dropped out.

Stare at @Wano1997's avatar... Or wait... Usually wait... Yes, wait. That's what I do: Wait.

When I render videos (vegas is stupid, it wont let me change the # of threads used for rendering...it always uses 8) I can't really do anything except go on this forum, and even then it gets really laggy...

eh, when I use Vegas I get 98~99% usage, but pretty much everything still works at normal speed/no lag.

 

I can even watch videos while I render lol
