ASMR is one of the most unlikely YouTube trends in recent years, but we’re all for it. ASMR stands for “autonomous sensory meridian response,” and is a sort of relaxing, almost uncanny paresthesia sensation often typified by tingling along the scalp, neck, or spine. The ASMR YouTube subgenre spawned a huge range of relaxing videos hunting down various types of “trigger” actions, from waving hands, to different types of sounds, or even just simple whispering.
What type of ASMR would Microsoft fans enjoy, though? Perhaps ASMRtist Ephemeral Rift has the answer.
In his latest video, Ephemeral Rift takes us on a nostalgic tour through a Microsoft MS-DOS 5.0 User’s Guide, which dropped all the way back in 1991. MS-DOS 5.0 brought us support for 3.5-inch, 2.88MB floppy disks, as well as a full-screen text editor, and an improved MS-DOS Shell GUI. Wild.
Best enjoyed with headphones, Ephemeral Rift’s soothing Microsoft-flavored whisperings is ideal background music for a quiet lunch break, short nap, or evening wind-down. It’s perhaps not ideal to listen while operating heavy machinery or driving, though, as you might doze off.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some ASMR-induced procrastinating to do.

Make your PC build stand out with a great tempered glass case
Tempered glass PC cases are a great way to make a great looking build that’s also extremely durable, and thankfully, glass is becoming more common and replacing acrylic at every price point. If you’re looking for a good, glass-based case, these are our favorites right now.
