18 Months into my transformation journey is finally official. 🙌🏻
Still down 150lbs, but have been focusing much more on muscle growth and fat burning than worrying about what a scale tells me.
Energy and pumps are so much higher. Working on that perfect dad bod. 👌🏻
I just
Well
@UPS
denied our claim - “UPS has identified deficiencies in External Packaging.” We figured we might educate them on what they did on their end that they are trying to hide.
First damaged system like this in over 3 years. This isn’t packaging. It’s UPS being UPS.
A year later and
@UPS
still hasn't paid us for this build. Over $4,000 still owed by them. 😬
This deemed this improper packaging and not the fact that a forklift that went right through it. 🤦🏻♂️

I just had a streamer come into our stream and he proceeded to ask for a free PC and then posted this.
I pretty much stopped and asked if everything is ok, no response.
I end stream, get this message. I go to the channel to reach out to the streamer, see I'm banned. (Contd)
If you were an employee laid off by Artesian, please contact me.
We are continuing to grow and would like to help keep food on the table for honest, hard working employees in this industry.
Know that we don’t judge the employees by the actions of a scummy, cash hungry CEO.
We are sad to announce that, effective now, we are freezing/suspending all activities. Ongoing is analysis by outside counsel for reorg. to ensure fair treatment of clients, creditors, and employees. We expect more info by month's end.
We are open to assistance/investment.
Might I add, we take about 30 minutes to hand package every system going out. We utilize the best packaging in our space and
@UPS
is hiding the fact that they damaged a clients system in their possession and stated it was our packaging.
This system is what I've been trying to accomplish for the

@tarkov
community for a while now.
Something efficient, powerful, but budget friendly! 🫡
Testing our New Signature system in some 1440p Tarkov. 👀
No optimization, no tweaks, just straight onto a streets raid! 95-110 FPS in rough areas for under $2,000 is 💪🏻💪🏻.
Coming soon. ✅
The amount of
@UPS
employees that have reached out & expressed that it’s 100% UPS’s fault is unreal.
From how it was damaged to how they know the claims system is rigged. I really wish a big company would expose this mistreatment of parcels. Steve, it’s your time.

One of my biggest goals this year was to be healthier, get myself in shape.
I wasn’t happy with myself, i used food as a way to relieve stress and I knew I had to do something.
Lifting & eating healthier has really helped me both mentally and emotionally.
100% recommend.
“Stince, You’re about to really busy”
- If it allows me to hire amazing gamers and tech gurus to continue building amazing systems without sacrificing our integrity, then I’m for it. Besides that, I’m happier keeping our friendships thriving and food on the table for my family.
Finally freaking did it. 💪🏻
30 weeks into my transformation, we hit the biggest goal I’ve been trying to hit and I was aiming to hit in 10 months, was able to do it in just over 7. 🥹
25lbs more to go and leaning + building muscle! ✅

Thank you for the love in a time where people are showing their true colors.
I push our team and relationships for nothing but the best, and always appreciate the love you show us.

Just 45 minutes a day of strength conditioning and light cardio with a lower carbohydrate diet. 🥵
120+ lbs and over 20% body fat already down since March! 💪🏻
An insane week. 😵
I worked 40+ hours in the last 3 days. I’ve had 15+ meetings, heard how a company treated their partners, ripped off non-profits with excessive pricing, & saw the true depths of how I never want to run

I’ve got lots to still do, but need r&r. 😴
What a 6 months..

at Twitchcon was such a high for the community and creators, now today, absolutely 180’d.
It’s devastating to see today’s events, both as a business owner that supports the community immensely, but also as an avid player with thousands of hours. 😬

Onward and upwards! 🚀

More of a serious post…
We all have our rough weeks, and this week was one of mine.
A lot of times, it’s frowned upon for business owners to share more intimate, personal issues, but everyone has different opinions, and luckily I know how to battle my own fights.
I’ve
Hey Guys - Might have to cancel today's build stream.
I'm dealing with an individual who tried to order multiple PC's from us Fraudulently.
Working with Legal options + calling and verifying things with banks to protect us as a business.
100% not what I want to do on a Monday.
Was just testing the 5800x3D + 3070 Ti system we've mentioned a few times for Tarkov.
We were pushing 130-160 FPS on lighthouse, max settings, 1440p.
A system like this can be spec'd for about $2700 Shipped.
Next, we'll be working on a 3060 Ti system.
We hit 16 months in on my health and fitness journey. ✅
In this time, we’ve accomplished:
-Weight from 385lbs down to ~240.
-Body fat from 31% down to 13.5%
-shirts 3/4XL to LG Tall/XL
-pants from 46/48 to 32/34
New goals: lean to about 8-10% Body Fat & build lean muscle. 💪🏻
What once a super tight, barely fitting 3XL sweatshirt has become a staple pump and cardio sweat cover. 💪🏻
The last 18 months we’ve transformed this obese dad bod into a unit in training.
Getting there but so much more to go! 🚀
Just an Update -
We're not a Corsair, an iBuyPower, a 200 Million $ Monopoly with 100's of employees.
Everyone who works hard at StinceBuilt works more than one role. It's cohesive, passion, limited availability for meetings, all while constantly looking to be better.

I’ve quoted dozens of systems in the last 4-5 days.
Tonight we were able to match clients price, but upgrade NVME from 500gb to 1TB, from stock cooler to 360mm AIO Liquid cooler, 16gb of 3600mhz cl18 ram to 32gb 3600mhz cl16, + higher end case and motherboard.
Don’t settle. ✅

You want it, go out and get it! 🙌🏻
100lbs down and now time to lean out!
Reminder every day to be humble yet hustle to get what you want. 💪🏻
Yes, also I don’t care that I look rough, sweating it all out! 🥵
Keep Mamma StinceBuilt (My mother) in your thoughts. She's currently in the emergency room right now with heart-attack symptoms.
I am out of the office currently and will update people as things progress, lord willing, for the better!
Much Love,

If anyone knows me, I'm a huge supporter for vets. I've had family who have had PTSD end their life.
Don't mess around. Seek help.
Finally after 14 months of this crazy housing market, we’re new home owners!
We had to celebrate with a much needed beer! 🥂
Back in the shop tonight and rest of the week!
Biggest frustration in weight loss journey has hit. I’ve plateaued on weight but luckily, still burning body fat and gaining muscle.
It’s discouraging looking at the scale but I can see the recomposition happening.
120 lbs is still a fantastic feat but I know there is more.💪🏻
