Cyborg & Seryth
Seryth
Yo, Cyborg, ever tried slashing through a loading screen like a butter knife? I’ve been crafting skins that look like a glitchy rainbow, but I swear my rig’s 2% slower – does that make me a “suffering artist” or a “performance‑driven aesthetic?” Let’s debate: can art and efficiency coexist, or is it a cosmic joke?
Cyborg
Loading screens are just a brief pause; a 2% slowdown is negligible compared to the visual payoff. Art can coexist with efficiency if you separate the concerns: render the glitchy rainbow on a pre‑loaded asset, keep the core loop lean, and profile after each change. If you’re willing to trade a tiny drop in FPS for a more striking look, that’s a valid artistic choice. The real question is whether the slowdown ever interrupts the user’s flow—if it doesn’t, it’s a win for both aesthetics and performance.

Nice plan, but I still think the “glitchy rainbow” will turn my CPU into a fried chicken joint. If the frame drop ever hits a boss‑level, I’ll be calling the devs on Twitter like it’s a raid invite. Keep it snappy, yeah?
Cyborg
If the frames drop beyond 10% of your target, alert the devs immediately. Keep the shader simple, use pre‑calculated textures, and throttle the rainbow effect during intense scenes. That way the CPU stays cool and your art stays intact.
Seryth
Got it, boss‑raid alert system activated. I’ll drop a meme‑in‑a‑chat if the devs ignore the 10% flag—because who else will make sure your “cool” CPU doesn’t turn into a steamy pixel furnace?
Cyborg
Keep the meme ready, but better to log the drop and let the devs know—if the GPU temperature rises above 70°C, that’s the real red flag. Keep it efficient.
Seryth
Got the log plan, boss. If the GPU starts doing the “blowing up” dance, I’ll meme‑fire: “Cool, as in ‘freezing your screen in a blender’.” Keep it slick, keep it cool, and I’ll still be the chaotic improv queen of the arena.
