  • Can’t upgrade my older rig, it’s an Acer pre-built and I watched a Youtube video about trying to upgrade it. Guy had to cut something out from the back to make room for the new GPU. Current specs are Geforce GTX 1080 Super and 16 GB of RAM. Runs hot and loud as all hell when I try to do some gaming on it. Regarding this new build, I also want to do some video editing, hence the higher specs.





  • Thanks for the appraisal. Not surprised that there’s some extra in that price. Building it myself is not an option because I’m clumsy to the extent that I should get it diagnosed. Getting it assembled seems to be the cheapest alternative for me. But generally speaking, is that setup good enough to run older and indie games? At least the case seems to have plenty of fans. My current setup has practically no airflow and the fans are going crazy as soon as I even as much as touch a game.




  • As someone pointed out, it’s not supposed to be erotic. The tingles that it causes isn’t caused by erotic stimuli, it’s a very different kind of tingle. Which doesn’t mean some ASMR can’t be erotic, I’m not saying that. Speaking for myself, the tingles I get are mostly around my face and eyes, if that makes sense. Not my fingertips, though.










  • The “tweak”: I read about it on the forums, I don’t remember which one. People realized they could use shims to make the razor more aggressive, and not long after someone figured out that they could loosen the handle to the same end without negatively affecting how the razor handled. And no, it doesn’t really clog, it usually gets the area I’m targeting with one stroke (YMMV as they say tho). And it flushes out really well, too. Nothing in there when I disassemble to let it dry.


    • Brush: The Goodfellas’ Smile “The Hog” (three years old)
    • Razor: Henson V1 Mild Jet Black (two years old)
    • Blade: Lord Platinum
    • Lather: Cheap, local unscented tallow soap
    • Post Shave: Nivea Sensitive Balm

    Average shave, had a few bumps as per usual. Around five days’ worth of growth which for me results in a thick beard. But my Henson made easy work of it as I tweak it by loosening the handle 1/4 turns to make it from a Mild into a Medium. Cuts down the stubble no problem. For the second pass, I tighten the handle to “factory settings” so I get a milder shave for touch-ups.

    The brush I’ve had for three years, I got it when I started wet shaving. It’s been holding up real good (no shedding etc). I’ve ordered a Yaqi Timberwolf synthetic as an upgrade and a Simpson Bay Rum soap to go with it (I do have other soaps beside the tallow as well, Prorasos being among my favourites).
