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.

Good article. I think the best way to make it a non-issue is involve her and explain it. Gaming IS very immersive, and while you're at it, any disturbance from outside is detrimental to the experience, even well intended or justified disturbance. If this is understood by both parties, the tips presented in the article should help indeed. It still remains a difficult task to juggle the time demands of a serious relationship and gaming. Most people eventually have to cut back on gaming time.
Some of the tips can also help get along with roommates, siblings or parents.
been married for over 3 years now, I also have a kid and I think that the real answer to stop your partner from complaining is having control, unfortunately when we were still dating and living together, my gaming hours were our biggest issues, thing was I only played for 3 hours a day (that might sound nothing but 3*7 is actually 21) so in just one week you'd have spent nearly one whole day playing videogames
personally I just quit there and then I do have those weekend in which I act as a complete hermit (especially when a long awaited game has been released) but in the end it's all about self control, being in a relationship isn't like living in your parent's house.
I used to have issues with my wife about this. As long as you can reach a common ground between play time and her time you'll be fine.
After kids it gets easier to game. I have been married for 4 years and have 3 kids. My wife is a stay-at-home. So by the time the kids go to bed, she's ready too. So just game after everyone goes to sleep, and learn to live with a lack of sleep yourself. I game from 8pm to 2am at times and wake up at 4am to go to work. It's just something that you'll have to do after the family is taken care of.
As long as you don't play all the time I don't see the problem. If she can't accept that you have other interests than being with her, perhaps it's time to find a new partner? Unless you are p*ssywhipped or the type that wants to date a mother figure, of course.
