I tried an older mechanical keyboard to test if the stutters were input-related, and was shocked at how quieter the space bar was. Turns out Keychron stabilizers are screwed in, whereas HyperX loosely clips on. So I did the only reasonable thing and Crazy-Glued them on, no more rattling! 🤩

In an ongoing effort to combat micro-stutters in games, I learned that not all motherboards have the same power delivery, and that my mobo is the worst of them all... so I added some cute little heatsinks to my VRMs. They look stock! Hope this helps. 🤞 #Gaming #PC #Computers #DIY

I finally got a proper pill organizer a couple months ago, and my friend doubted it'd stick, but honestly it's been such a boon. No more constant stress of "did i take my meds". If you're on the fence about getting one, DO IT. Just make sure its got enough slots, for me it was 3 per day.

It is a gorgeous 14C & sunny Autumn day here in Montreal. The leaves are turning yellow and it smells like fall. Perfect time of year to go out for a walk in a light jacket and not feel too hot or too cold, and not having to wear a bra lol! 📸🌅🍂🍁

Surprisingly, today is actually a good day with enough energy to cook myself a hot meal, even tho this whole week was overly draining on me. So I treated myself to some tortellini in rose sauce. It was delicious. 🥰🍽️

Hey I get it, being forced to login to a m$ account just to use your pc sucks, and i dont do it either, but where was that rage when google hijacked smartphones and forced everyone into google accounts? 🤔

Hey this might sound weird but has anyone tried a cup of matcha green tea while munching on naan bread with salsa sauce on it? or did i just start ww3

Hey look, one of those rare pictures of Geoff that isnt a blurry mess! 📸 I got carrots with my groceries today, so he's a very happy hammy. Look at how he's holding it in his paws! 🥰 #PetPics #Hamsters

Anyone else really struggling emotionally? With all the hate, division, and late stage capitalism bs going on in the world, there just isnt much to look forward to. hecc even video games have been enshitified so hard all the fun was sucked out of them 😭

It's getting cold and the sun sets early, time to turn on the heating, light a smoky candle, brew a fresh americano, and play some GW2 while watching wholesome ASMR on the side laptop. Bring winter on, i'm ready. 🥰☕🕯️

Why is it that every time new content is added to the current MMORPG i'm playing, and the playerbase is buzzing with excitement, i get overwhelmed to the point of crying in pain? Is it the social phobia? Being afraid of new things? Changes to my daily routine? I wish I knew so I could seek help. 😭

Leaves are turning, Shadows grow long, And this feels like the last T-shirt weekend of the year. 🍂🍁 #Photography #October #Canada

Yearly reminder to clean your keyboard! Those things get nasty! (i ended up having to change keycaps anyways, these were worn out to a shine and causing keys to feel sticky under my skin) #Gaming #PC

Back after a 1mo break from social media, it was much needed and did me good. Have a wooden hamster home i built while i was away. Nothing fancy, it was a 2$ kit from the dollar store, glued together using Mod Podge and a door sawed in. #DIY #Woodworking #Workshop

Received some heavy news from a close friend, and needed me-time, so I opened the 2nd bag of that LEGO kit. Because in moments like these all I wanna do is keep my hands busy to try to clear my head. Did you give yourself a me-moment today?

Random BattleStation Snap. Really happy with my custom footrest, it looks good in my setup, and is perfectly comfy for me. I do wish my phone would capture the purple from the RGB, instead of making it look pure blue. Still looks great tho! 🕹️ 🎮 #GamingSetup #Gaming #GamingPC

You ever think about cooking your favorite food or going to bed early and it gives you an emotion in your belly because the thought it so comforting? Or have I simply gained the power of being able to enjoy the simple things in my life. 🥰

Aaaaah look at the crema in this coffee! Happy Saturday everyone, wishing you all the best weekend. ☕

Me: *Ends stream because it's getting late and I need to cool down for the night* Also me: *Tags up and commands a full squad for a meta I only did twice* #Gaming #GW2 #GuildWars2

You know what really sucks? Freaken vacuum cleaners. Gods they suck.

I just had to use command line to uninstall micro$oft bloatware that would always force-install itself back every week when m$ shoved another "system update" and now i'm thinking maybe windows isnt that easier to use than linux if i still need to tinker with it to make it work like i want...

Sundays are made for cleaning hammy cage, and that's just what they'll do! I got a new bag of hay and this one is grown in canada, it looks less artificial, i hope Geoff likes it! #Pets #Petpics #Hamsters #Critters

It's been a while since I uploaded a VOD to Youtube so here's one from last Monday's Twitch stream where I played Guild Wars 2 and built the legendary harpoon gun Frenzy. :3 www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-N8...

Going LIVE on Twitch with more Guild Wars 2, going wherever the Four Winds blow... :3 #Streams #Gaming #Twitch www.twitch.tv/kivy

Being an adult is also eating dry Cheerios with your hands straight from the box, at 1 am, because you bloody want to. 😏

45 minutes of pure joy later, the first bag is done and it's already starting to look like a car. Really impressed with the hacks Lego came up with in this build, some of it feels outright illegal! This thing also has a shift stick and a hand brake?!?

Been eyeing this Lego kit for a while, and finally jumped on it yesterday. 35CAD for a Lego kit sounded like a good deal, but i wasn't expecting FOUR bags out of it. Maybe two max. But this will be 4 screen breaks! 🤩🥰

The problem with learning to live with anxiety is that you end up gaslighting yourself every time you feel bad by telling yourself it's all in your head, and then you can't tell made-up vs real pain apart anymore. You just become numb to everything.

On bad mental health days like this one, i catch myself wishing i had been born 500 years earlier so i didn't have to live through this dystopia, and remind myself they only bathed once a year back then and i can't sleep at night unless I've showered that evening. 🧼🫧

I put Geoff in time-out while i cleaned his cage, and i put his home in the middle of the box so he's got a place to hide. Little escape artist pushed the house to the corner of the box and tried getting out! Ah! #Hamsters #Petpics #Pets

Anyone else with good hearing can recommend me a phone charger that doesn't buzz? Crazy how I'm 37 and can't charge my phone at night cause switch mode power supplies keep me awake. Get with the program, ears! I'm old now! 😠 Maybe i should build a linear USB charger using a transformer and 7805.

It's sad how I used to do 12h streams every day and now I cant even stream 4h without collapsing from exhaustion and needing multiple days to recover. Long-covid really messes you up. 😭💔

Going LIVE on #Twitch for the first time in a week. Pushing the new GPU through its paces while doing comfy open world dailies in #GW2 and maybe finish a legendary weapon?!? idk, we just vibing. twitch.tv/kivy

New GPU who dis? Been on the fence about upgrading for months and decided it was time to get rid of that debate at the back of my head and just do it. From an AMD 8GB RX 6600 to a 16GB RX 9060 XT was a HUGE upgrade! More than twice the performance gain, impressive. #GamingPC #GamingSetup #Gaming

So I've been using this new custom footrest for a week now and it's amazing. It's the last piece i needed to make my gaming setup perfectly ergonomic for me. It's so comfy now i can take naps in between gw2 world bosses. 🥰😴

I'm 37 and feel empty, yet i'm only halfway through my usable life. I'm a tube of tooth paste. 😭

Why is Stellar Blade SO GOOD. I'm trying out the Demo and I'm crushing so hard - not on the obvious fanservice - but on the gameplay. It's so SMOOTH and natural, all the buttons just do what my muscle memory expects them to. And the game runs amazingly well for using unreal engine! #Gaming

How are we going into the 8th month of the year already. Where did 2025 go. Or am i just in denial about life right now and kind of just, exist.

Relived another positive childhood memory by cooking my own home made lasagne using my grandma's secret ingredient: cream cheese! I cheated and bought a pot of local restaurant bolognese to make it easier, but it was still delicious. And I have leftovers! 🍽️ 🍳 🧑‍🍳

I had cheesy bruschetta on ciabatta for dinner, and i broiled it to perfection. It was soooo yummy 🤤

Geoff chewed through another of his cardboard home so I over-engineered a new one for him, using recycled cardboard and non-toxic water-based adhesive. Idk how safe it is for hamsters to eat Mod Podge but i guess its better than plastic tape. #DIY #Crafting #Hamsters

I just cooked myself a legit hamburger steak using fresh potatoes, onions, beef, and gravy. I hadnt cooked using fresh produce in a while and it strangely made me happy. The final taste brought back good memories from my childhood which were comforting to relive. 🥰 🧑‍🍳 🍳

Rare weekend stream! Going LIVE on Twitch with some Guild Wars 2, gonna do comfy dailies like gathering farms and dragon response missions. :3 #twitch #streams ☕ www.twitch.tv/kivy

Finished the custom footrest last night. Used the crafty method of sticking two flat surfaces together, but using duct tape. It's what I had on hands. Drilled proper recessed screw holes. Been using the footrest all day and it's so much better than an empty PC case! #DIY #Woodworking #Workshop

Huge milestone in my Guild Wars 2 journey: Finishing Icebrood Saga and getting the legendary amulet after I 100% every story and maps in chronological order. Very emotional VOD. It took a lot out of me to get here and I'm proud of having seen it through :) #Twitch #Gaming youtu.be/YEdQmuQBpzQ

I needed a better footrest than a pc case, so i'm making my own custom one. Tested some heights and angles then cut some fancy plywood to size using a new jig saw i got just for this. Because why spend 30$ on an amazon item when you can make your own for 200$. 🤩 #DIY #Woodworking #Workshop

It's been 6mo since my cats passed away and I'm still in denial. It doesn't help that my landlord/roommate dropped more than 10,000$ on vet bills for her dog when i had to put both my cats to sleep cause I'm giving her half my income to live in the basement of the shack she's not taking care of. 💔

So it turns out, if i disable all the automatic adjustments and fake HDR on my phone camera, it takes better pictures? Finally got decent shots of my gaming setup in pretty purple. 🥰 💻

I believe i have just taken the best picture of Geoff. Both historically and future wise. The lighting was perfect, and he struck this pose and paused just long enough for my phone to snap this. 🐹 #Pets #PetPics #Hamsters

Hey microsoft, maybe if you didnt push 4 windows updates in a month that forces reinstall "game assist" after people uninstalled it, we wouldnt hate you as much. just saying. that microsoft antitrust lawsuit happening yet?
