Now the rest of my day is ruined. Also, I looked up Bot Fly removals. I've never felt such regret in my life.

Those Camel Spiders are no joke. My buddy said in Afghanistan they were more paranoid about those than IED lol. Guys would actually shoot them when they saw them.

Yeah those things are the most ****ed up spiders/Scorpions/whatever. They look demonic in nature. Luckily they aren't very poisonous. Just nasty looking and painful bite. Although I have to say some NA/Brazilian and Aussie spiders are more frightening.

Bot flies ruin my ambition for traveling the world. Also luckily, they are just nasty and not really dangerous.

@FITgamer your buddy lied. If anything we capture them and make them fight scorpions. Also no they wouldnt shoot them, i say that because in the military on deployment you better have a better reason than "scary spider" for firing your weapon.

not trying to be the comment police but some people might believe you

What does any of this actually have to do with gaming? "Hey look here are some ugly or scary looking creatures" is all this article is about.

The wolf fish and that shark look really cool, never knew they were real.

That being said, my arachnophobia has kicked into overdrive from the Camel Spider.....gonna hide now

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
