30 minutes of PC nerdiness, the universe gave me the biggest of sweet treats today

[catehorne]

I don't even know anything about computers or gaming but i LOVED this video - so comforting and satisfying and you just have the sweetest vibes <3 thanks for the cosy content!

[enuna]

As someone who has also watched a lot of pc build videos, the way you broke the information down in this video was excellent — seriously so accessible and helpful. I can’t wait to see future gaming videos/streams 😊 (also the wood detail on your pc case is gorg)

[emilyk]

YOU DID IT! YOU ACTUALLY DID IT! The fear of the first button press and the pc doing things is so real

[urcosmossol]

The editing is so freaking incredible, I'm obsessed with this video and the whole vibes and aesthetic of your whole set up!! I can't wait for your twitch streams 🫶🫶

[portillobrie]

Yay! Everything looks amazing and you did such a fantastic job explaining everything. The daft punk album for the RAM had me laughing 😂😂 so perfect

[DeSireeAlicea]

It looks amazing if I had my own office space I would love to do something like this! Make it all cosy and cute! But everything looks great !

[iisazelx]

I love the way that you explained all the parts!

[osirismind]

This was so satisfying to watch!! The way you edited this was stunning (as per usual) and the free asmr was also chef's kiss. I also appreciate that you gave a little beginner's guide to the separate pc pieces. I love how everything turned out. This is such a cute and cozy setup.

Great video, king! 🏰

I can't wait for the twitch streams 👀

[iisazelx]

OKAY BUT THAT PIP STREAMER SETUP?! 👀 into it

I was like a baby watching a sensory video, this was so interesting hearing about all the PC parts and building that's

I needed this p.c build video! But also, you’re looking fantastic Joel! 🫶

[argxntimpxla]

genuinely cannot believe you don’t have more followers, your videos always are so high quality

[thelovinggeek]

This really made me want to build my own setup and make it way more cosy! I'm still waiting to move out with my bf, but you gave me so many ideas! My dream set-up would also be a cosy one, but with the dark autumn vibes. Seeing you build this amazing set-up was so fun! Hope you keep enjoying it!

[stxrmblessed]

as someone who has no clue when it comes to computers this was not only educational but also a joy to watch 🫶🏻

[DatBoiTip]

you did great, love how you showed what each part does too. I hope the pc and desk setup bring you even more joy
