The trick was to tweak the Distant Horizons settings a little for my setup (NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti, BSL shader) so I wasn’t spinning 100% GPU and CPU.
Forgot to take an “after” screenshot in my pre-work session, but here’s “before” with LOD render distance too high. Real obvious dropoff in render quality, and my PC sounded even more like a jet engine than it usually does in ATM9.
I’ll post an “after” some other time, but basically 128 instead of 256 for the LOD, and a few light tweaks to render settings, and I was able to enjoy.

I understand why cameras-on is a thing for (some) meetings, but goodness does my particular #ADHD brain prefer voice-only + live captions for actual conversation.
On camera? I’m listening to you talk, reflexively watching everyone for social cues, reflexively managing my own expressions, answering questions, etc. Oh you also want me to actively engage? Sorry but I am fully occupied.
Audio-only? Well I’ve got mild auditory processing issues and a bum ear, so that’s worse.
But live captioning is good enough these days that I can read+hear and have way more brain for participation.

Here’s the “after” I mentioned. Lower LOD render distance and letting the shader do its fog thing for an overall more aesthetically pleasing landscape with Distant Horizons and ATM9 on my machine.

New job brain fun times, where I’m too amped to totally shut down, but then don’t get good rest, and I’m too tired to totally get in gear.
I’ll sort it out. It’s just less fun short term.
