The Guru of 3D: Cooler Master Masterair MA624 Stealth/MA612 Stealth ARGB review

Today, we are reviewing two air coolers from Cooler Master: MasterAir MA624 Stealth and MA612 Stealth ARGB. Usually, we had a chance to check the AIO solutions from them, so now it's a good opportunity to study what we can achieve more standardly. This will also be a nice occasion to present two types of cooling architecture, as the MA612 Stealth ARGB is a single-tower, and MA624 Stealth is a dual-tower

OCC: The Forgotten City Review

Here I am again with another game review, this time for The Forgotten City, an adventure mystery game set in a hidden Roman city, two thousand years ago. The about twenty people living there enjoy their lives, continuing as they had before entering the city but are under the unclear Golden Rule. What exactly constitutes a violation of the rule is unclear and solely judged by some unknown god, but if it is violated, all of the people are turned into gold statues. As a constant reminder, citizens from prior generations still occupy the city, motionless and cold beneath the luster of the yellow metal.
