This really is a big nope from me. Great they encourage donations, but the blood in the cooling fluid, why?

lol no thanks.

That is an absolutely terrible idea?? Is it an AIO "with blood in it we swear" or a custom loop? Honestly this is the second worst idea I've seen someone have when it comes to strange PC cooling loops. Jayztwocents and that beer cooled abomination he made for Post Malone takes the #1 spot.

Someone did a chocolate milk-cooled PC. I think it may have been LTT. That's probably the worst.

Okay, that's definitely the worst one.

Why milk? It's going to rot. Jesus.

The concrete one was bad too. Someone unplugged it and it ruined all the blocks and rads.

Every PC used to have human blood in it.

Cheap cases used to have terrible rough edges and you were guaranteed a gash when building.

Now, the choice is, do you wipe it clean or do some reject Fullmetal Alchemist summoning circle stuff with it?

:) you don't cut yourself that much.

The "real human blood" could just be plasma; which, afaik, is just the water from the blood. And they likely only added a single small drop or something anyway. Or it's marketing bullshit and there isn't actually blood in it at all.

[-] Syldon@feddit.uk 2 points 8 months ago

Yeah I thought maybe marketing, but the article does state real blood. I cannot find a blue post to verify or deny it.

[-] Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 months ago

Hey donating blood makes you great in my book. If some silly halloween marketing can be exploited to get some more people to donate blood, cool.

[-] Syldon@feddit.uk 3 points 8 months ago

As someone who donates regularly I agree. Donating blood takes very little effort and saves lives. My wife and I's next session is due on the 31st. It will not be used for this as we are UK based. You are probably right about the end justifying the means, I just find it more than a tad gross.

Like KISS but somehow lamer

[-] EisFrei@lemmy.world -1 points 8 months ago

Why? It's not about the blood, it's about you posting it.

Could also be "vapour chamber containing Elon Musk's fart"

[-] Syldon@feddit.uk 3 points 8 months ago

That makes no sense at all.

[-] EisFrei@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago

It doesn't have to make sense.

I mean, it's just to get people's attention and it obviously works. Let the people do the advertising for you.

[-] Syldon@feddit.uk 2 points 8 months ago

I don't play any Blizzard crap. I have done in the past, but the practises they use since they joined with Activision are shockingly bad. I posted this as yet more evidence of how bad the company is.

[-] EisFrei@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

We are on exactly the same page. I don't get how you think I'm arguing against you.

[-] Syldon@feddit.uk 1 points 8 months ago

I thought you were accusing me of spamming adverts for Blizz.
