I’ve been thinking lately about how much the modern football landscape relies on these massive loan cycles. It feels like every single week, some massive club is shipping off a teenager to a mid-table side just to see if they can handle the pressure of a real squad.
I remember back in the day, you’d see a kid break into the first team and actually stay there, or at least get a decent run of games. Now, it feels like players are shuffled around like chess pieces in a massive game of musical chairs. It’s hard to tell if these stints actually help them grow, or if they’re just being kept "on ice" until the club decides they’re worth a real contract.
Do you think these season-long loans actually prepare young players for the top level, or is it just a way for big clubs to protect their assets without actually risking anything?
Look, kid, here’s the deal... if you're messing around with torrents, it’s way too easy for someone to track you down. Honestly, unless you're basically handing over the keys to your PC, you're asking for trouble. Just stay away from torrents and stick to direct downloads whenever you can.
Honestly, just copy the photo layer, slap a mask on it, make a custom brush, and mask out the background. Since the hair looks a bit fuzzy in this shot, you can get away with some "artistic license" 🙂. Just tuck the background layer between those two photo layers and you're golden. Look, if you’re obsessed with keeping every single stray hair perfectly in place, fine—mask it manually. But for me? This is the easiest way. There are other ways to do it, but I’d have to film a whole tutorial to explain them all, and frankly, I'm getting too old for messing around in Adobe Photoshop.
I mean, you really think Edward Thompson86 is just gonna spill all his secrets now?? Besides, from what I know, PCMark 8 and 3DMark are free programs, so I don't get why everyone's tripping about buying them.

I already tried messing around with the firewall, but honestly? It’s useless. Nothing works.
Just ask your parents to get that ban lifted for you.
Hey neonharbor10, nah, I wasn't talking about a standard 360 camera. Usually, when people say that, they mean a camera with a horizontal panorama that doesn't tilt up or down. VR is different—it captures the whole damn environment, basically a full spherical panorama in every single direction.
Nicole Newman15 said:My laptop was such a total disaster—glitchy, crawling along, just awful—that I had to fix everything to get it running right. And now? It’s actually working fine. I ended up Googling how to kill those automatic updates on Windows 7 (for some reason, nobody here ever mentions that, and I know I'm not the only one dealing with this mess). So, I shut them off. (If you're struggling with the same thing on Windows 7, here's the deal: Control Panel, Windows Update, change settings, set "Install updates automatically" to "Never," then hit OK.)
Go to control panel -> administrative tools -> services -> Windows update -> if it says running -> right click -> stop -> right click -> disable. Honestly, what you wrote isn't quite the full story.
That's it. No more Windows updates. Seriously, once you realize your system is finally running smoothly, why even bother updating? You aren't getting anything useful. All those geeks love to drone on about how Cortana is better or Edge is superior, but let's be real—those are just useless features shoved down your throat. Same goes for Office updates or whatever else. If it works? It works. If I have everything I need? I have it. Why mess with perfection?
Look, I don't want to be rude, but you either skimmed that post or completely missed the point. We're talking about compositing a person from one shot into another. Like, pulling a human being out of one clip and dropping them into a totally different scene. Unless you've got green screens, perfect camera tracking, perspective matching, and all that other technical magic... honestly, even if you were Batman himself, it’s just not happening.

goldentrucker92 Just grab Avast Free and Malwarebytes—run a scan with both of them. Once you're done with that, head over to Bleeping Computer and grab AdwCleaner and the Junk Removal Tool. After those programs have had their turn, your computer should be pretty much cleared of any viruses. Oh, and definitely grab CCleaner too—it'll help clear out all that digital junk you've picked up along the way.
Look, kids, when you first install Windows 10, step one is killing those automatic updates. Then just toss on Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and call it a day—your system will actually stay stable. Maybe an anti-exploit tool if you're feeling fancy, but that's optional. Finally, tweak your host file. There are plenty of guides online, but if you can't find one, I've got a 600 KB file I can send you myself. Microsoft thinks they know what's best for your machine, but they don't. Every single update seems to reset my personal settings, and we all know it. Honestly? Just tell the updates to piss off.
Joshua Chavez28 said:When I start the installer, it asks me to pick a destination folder. Which one should I actually use?
I tried throwing it into system32 and syswow64, but it just keeps giving me errors.
Probably won't work because it's set to read-only... just open up properties, uncheck that read-only box, and go into security settings to give yourself write permissions.
Chloe Palmer29 said:Okay, I used AdwCleaner to get rid of those programs. But now there's just junk left behind everywhere and I have no clue how to scrub it all out since I don't even know where the files are hiding. Any advice?
Which version of Windows are you running? Honestly, the easiest way is just to hit Start, type "Autodesk" into the search bar, and nuking everything that pops up. Then, type "regedit" in that same search box to launch the Registry Editor. Go to Edit, then Find, and search for "Autodesk" to delete whatever it finds... just keep hitting F3 to find the next one. Or, if you're feeling lazy like me, just grab a registry cleaner tool. Install it, let it hunt down all the Autodesk entries, and let it wipe them automatically. You'll probably find an Autodesk or AutoCAD subfolder sitting in your Documents folder... kill that. Check C:\Program Files (assuming you're on a 64-bit machine), look for a Common Files folder, and wipe out any Autodesk shared stuff in there too. You've also got an Autodesk folder in Program Files (x86)... delete it. Don't forget the hidden ProgramData folder on your C: drive—wipe Autodesk from there as well. Then head to C:\Users\[your username] and clear out any Autodesk folders you see. Finally, there's that hidden AppData folder; you'll need to go into both the Roaming and Local folders within AppData and scrub any trace of Autodesk. It's a massive pain in the neck, but that's just how it goes.
Chloe Palmer29 said:Look, I’d love to just wipe all my Autodesk software off this machine, but apparently, there's some specific order I have to follow. I tried following this video, but I'm stuck because I have no clue which ones count as "peripheral applications." http://knowledge.autodesk.com/custom...ndows-products
So, I went into the Control Panel and found all this: Autodesk Design Suite Autodesk Content Service Autodesk design review 2013 Autodesk Design Suite Autodesk Design Suite plug-in for AutoCAD 2013 Autodesk Material Library Autodesk Material Library Base Resolution Image Library 2013 Autodesk Cloud Sync Autodesk Cloud Sync
Now what? Does anyone actually know how to do this right since the order matters so much? Anyone got a clue? Thanks, Sarah
No standard uninstaller—especially not the Windows one—is ever going to scrub everything Autodesk leaves behind. And honestly, why the hell does the order even matter? I always just use Revo Uninstaller to kick these apps out; I never give a damn about the sequence and they always go away. The real headache is the junk left sitting in your folders—Common Files, Local, Roaming, AppData—you basically have to hunt them down and delete them manually, along with a mountain of registry keys. When I wiped 3ds Max, it left dozens of registry entries behind. There's no avoiding it; you either clean it up by hand or use something like Registry First Aid.
