I'm a content creator for a living and I've been working over the last two months to make my living and recording space comfy and aesthetically pleasing, and I think it's come to a place where I can be happy about it.
It still needs a few things, like the big rug I'm gonna be putting on one side and a consistent set of curtains on the windows until they're replaced, but I think it just looks nice.
Just got done putting it together and I gotta get some feedback as to what vibes it gives off.
I'm 27, transfemme (pre hormones except for three months in 2020 but I seem to pass okay around most people for the most part??) and out since 2020, and trying out alternative methods of dating since my old methods haven't been bearing fruit lately 😅 So yeah, uhh. Let's see. I love cooking and baking, cleaning, cannabis, music and more for hobbies, and my conversational interests are literally all over the place. Ideally the right person would be somebody i could have fun hanging out with AND having sex with, not merely the latter 💝
I have a preference for femmes for long term relationships but I'm very bisexual in terms of overall sexual attraction. At this point it would just be nice to have fun with somebody else like that.
This PC began its life as a rent-to-own HP Pavilion Gaming PC model TG01. It retails for between $650-$800, but I paid almost $1,500 over the lifespan of the lease bc I'm an idiot (and was poor at the time). Now that I've got some money, though, I've been upgrading it, and I've managed to squeeze a ton into a tiny package!
STARTING SPECS:
400W Max power
AMD Ryzen 5 5600G (I think)
Radeon RX 5500 8gb (I think. Its the one-fan model that comes with these)
1x8gb memory
1tb HDD
CURRENT SPECS:
550W max power
Same processor
Radeon RX 9060 XT Challenger OC
2x16gb (32gb) memory
1tb HDD ( 2tb m.2 drive coming next month)
WHAT I HAD TO DO:
* Move the HDD from stock position to the carriage on the top part of the case (thanks for the foresight, HP!)
* Replace power supply with OEM upgrade
* Creatively organize cables
Honestly I'm shocked. It's a night and day difference. My PC used to take twenty minutes to go from off to working enough to play games; now it's like a minute and a half. GTA V used to take five minutes to load; now it takes like five seconds. And the best thing about all of it was that I was able to retain the conveniently tiny form factor and unassuming look that is so important to me, all while spending a fraction of what I would have spent to completely build a new one and set this old prebuilt aside.
Criticism and commentary super welcome.
I don't need help anymore myself (I do YouTube and have a wonderful community that funds my work) but I'll try to remember to check this spot out when I've got some cash.
