Minus sneak, holy I’m not really aware of any powdered energy drink brands to keep an eye out for/ try.

There’s probably some random name brands out there that I’ve never heard of, but simultaneously, I probably wouldn’t trust them without someone saying they’re decent.

I can tell that my peripherals are slowly starting to break. I’ve had these since I first got into pc gaming quite a few years ago.

They’re hyperx, and I got a steal on them all new, or from Facebook marketplace and they were very good but never used.

I liked hyperx, I felt like they were the under dogs with them being better, and cheaper than other brands (razer) however with them being bought by HP I haven’t heard of any good things since.

So who should I swap to? I get a good impression from steel series.

Thanks in advance.

Here’s a weird question for you, mainly asking just to try and get an answer to scratch my brain a bit.

Just for context, jve always been frugal, economic, and sensible with my money, and as a result financially, it’s great, but it doesn’t half take the fun out of things sometimes, and also makes deciding a pain in the arse.

But anyway I bought this Off my friends friend for £400 in 2021.

Since then, I have added:

Ryzen 7 5800x

Msi rtx 3070 8gb

Crucial P5 Plus 500GB M.2 PCIe Gen4 NVMe Internal Gaming SSD

DeepCool AK400 ZERO DARK PLUS CPU Air Cooler

TEAMGROUP Memory D4 3200 16GB C16 Team Vulcan Z Grey K2, 16GB (to be honest this was free because Christmas present)

CRUCIAL CT1000BX500SSD1 2.5" Internal SSD - 1 TB (to be honest this was free)

Honestly, I feel like ny pc is decent, it does the job for me and I have no complaints, but with the amount of time I spent on it, I’d love an expensive fancy one, but I don’t feel like that’s never going to happen with me being sensible with money unless it breaks (and even then, if it was just one part that broke I’d probably buy a replacement.)

I know I’m locked to am4 processors and ddr4 ram, so if I ever wanted / needed to upgrade to that, then I’ll have to buy a new mobo, cpu and ram, but then surely if it gets to that point I might as well buy a new rig?

But if I bought a new rig, what would I do with this? Can imagine used PCs are a pain to sell I guess I could re use the storage, maybe re use the case, and maybe re use the cooler if the new cpu allows it.

But then I can imagine components being even harder to sell

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Thanks anyway

Bonus points if you could give me a price in GBP simply out of interest.

I need to sleep for work now but I’ll respond tomorrow, thanks in advance

***This is a reupload as I realised my original post was misleading, I was asking for recommendations for an air brush, not realising that that’s the name of the sprayer bit and not the whole unit. I meant to say “air brush kit”

Everything below is accurate though***

Hello,

So I have been thinking about getting an air brush kit for a while, and through my work place I can earn points that I can convert to Amazon gift cards

However, I know nothing about air brushes, so I don’t know what I’m looking at, like is this good value for money? Is this just some Chinese piece of trash? Etc etc.

It doesn’t help that when I search on Amazon, it seems like there’s a million listing of seemingly the same thing but all slightly different.

I’ve realised from my previous attempt of a post that the air brushes with the attach air tanks are cumbersome as expected, so one of them is a no go

I know Reddit has the tendency to go overly crazy with things, so I just want to state I am not wanting the best air brush in the world. I might pick it up and not even like it.

Thanks

Im sorry that this a bit of a negative post but im rather stuck and don’t really know what to do.

I also don’t really know where to start, as obviously a lot has gone into this to make me feel this way but I’ll try and pick out some important parts.

I’m turning 30 this year, art has basically always been my main thing and when I was younger I used to be obsessed.

I did art at school, art at college, then media, then finally graphic design at uni. I worked pretty hard at all of them, and got a first class degree.

But despite all of that, I always wanted to do illustrations and was never really taught how to draw, construction lines, perspective, etc etc. I started a course to teach me that but with working full time, it was too demanding and I just couldn’t do continues as it was stressing me out.

At Christmas I kinda had a bit of a breakdown about a design, as it was supposed to be a quick simple thing but was anything but, I just wanted to get it done but it kept taking more and more time and stressed me out.

After speaking to some people, they told me saying I was “shouting at plants” meaning I’m putting pressure on myself to be creative which is therefore making me not creative. They suggested treating it as a hobby instead of a job (which makes sense, how am I supposed to treat it like a job when I already have a full time job?) so I had a break for a few months then was kinda picking stuff back up to try and get me back into the swing of it. But now with “treating it like a hobby” I don’t really have any drive or interest in doing it.

But now, I dunno, when I’ve been doing creative stuff, I’m almost doing it for the sake of it, like I don’t have any sense of enjoyment, reward, or pride it just is what it is.

I don’t know, it doesn’t help that I’ve always had a goal with my art, originally it was to work as a full time artist, I lowered that to working part time as an artist, then I lowered it to just having a decent following online, selling prints somewhat regularly, etc, now I don’t even have that.

It doesn’t help that my friends that originally supported me, bought me stuff, came to my events, have all now drifted apart.

It doesn’t help the way that the world is, things are getting harder, ai is growing at a crazy rate etc.

I dunno I think about doing something but then the main problem is I don’t know which half started project to work on and even when I do, I just think about all the headache that is the creative process and just full on procrastinate it.

I dunno, I just feel like I’m having a bit of an identity crisis or something.
