“Gamer Girls” Shouldn’t Exist

Girl gamers aka female humans who play video games. Now before you get the wrong idea allow me to specify that I am not saying girls that game shouldn’t exist. I’m saying girl gamers shouldn't exist, the simple concept of specifying that you are a female that plays video games. Some gamers seem to get on these games, specify that they are a girl and do it strictly for attention. Others feel like they are annoyed by the constant swarm of male gamers going crazy over the fact that they just ran into a female that plays videos games. But, more then likely these are people that have specified their gender to people as if it matters in gaming. So lets say you are a guy and you decide to do something that is traditionally known to be a girl like thing, such as a knitter. How many boys that knit run around calling themselves a boy knitter. Probably none of them because despite being a girl or guy they are both classified as knitters.

I always figured we were supposed to ignore the people who fit that awkward stereotype. I have a number of female friends who don't behave that way (one who outwardly hates that stereotype as well). There really shouldn't be a label, I think. There are people who play games, their gender should not matter.

The people who make it about gender (such as the people this author is talking about) should be left in their corner and ignored so as not to give them the attention they crave.

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.
