The only problem with that setup is the grease from the pizza box getting on the carpet.

Balance it precariously on top of a too-small box, you heathen.

A too-small box such as the GameCube.

Neck too from when you eventually lay down to deal with your back pain.

Then tailbone, from when you try to awkwardly prop yourself up into a hybrid position.

[–] SidewaysHighways 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Then neck again when you go prone.

Then back again when you hide in a box

snake? Snake?

SNAAAAAAAAAAKEE!

I may be a man, but my back hurts just looking at that picture.

Give me a comfy chair if I'm going to game and drink and eat pizza.

Also, there is a distinct lack of doggies.

That's what it was. I was wondering why it looked odd. The carpet is too clean. They must have just moved in. There should be dog hair in it.

Imagine shitting on someone’s way of life because it’s not your own

[–] Somethingcheezie 17 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Well they are playing with a cube and look at the viewing angle of the TV. Eat that pizza and stick it under the Tv so your neck doesn’t get sore.

[–] Drivebyhaiku 13 points 6 months ago

Hard agree. I once when moving in a friend asked where they were going to mount their tv. They said "Over the fireplace... There's not really anywhere else to put it." End of day the "fireplace" (shit electric thing it was) was ripped from the wall and chilling in the garage.

Friends do not let friends play video games at shit veiwing angles.

The only thing I have issue with is putting the greasy pizza box on the carpet.

No reason to destroy your carpet just because you want to be minimalist.

At least put a blanket down. Then you can just pop it in the wash.

No reason to destroy your carpet

I would argue there is no sane reason to have wall to wall carpeting in the first place in most situations especially if you have pets.

That wireless controller is a bit pointless if you’re sitting 1.5m away from the screen. Gotta give her that.

[–] ChicoSuave 32 points 6 months ago (4 children)

It's called a WaveBird!

And you had to sit that close or else a cordless phone or other wireless device might interefere with the signal and stop registering inputs.

[–] wreckedcarzz 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Cordless... phone...?

Haha you're old! (and so am I but never mind that)

Wavebird is the GOAT. Best name, best controller. Personally, I never had interference problems that couldn’t be fixed by changing the channel on the controller and even that was pretty rare.

I mean... it's not like the place is filthy. No piles of dirty clothes or dishes.

Also I'm reminded of a woman I know who has a very nicely decorated home, but mounted her TV so none of the ports are accessible. Want to plug something into the hdmi port? Well, you can't. TV looks nice on the wall, though.

I am a man, and I see many problems with this:

  • the TV is at least two sizes too small
  • WAF is a non-factor, so there would absolutely be some oversized speakers beside that tv
  • my ass isn't lying on the floor, when a couch would be far more comfortable
  • the couch would make floor pizza too far away, so there would be a "coffee table"
[–] Rolando 62 points 6 months ago (5 children)

A couch? A coffee table? OK, King Louis XIV. The rest of us will make do with a floor gaming chair.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 6 months ago (3 children)

I'm not sure you realize how much heavy lifting I'm making the quotations around "coffee table" do.

[–] KnightontheSun 9 points 6 months ago (8 children)

Two cinder blocks and a rough sawn plank.

That’ll do.

The Donkey Kong Bongos accessory on top of the TV is just...chef's kiss. Perfect.

I am grateful to Fairlife for making single serve choccy milk that isn't owned by Nestle.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah but its owned by Coca-Cola

[–] NikkiDimes 12 points 6 months ago

If it isn't Nestle, it's Coca-Cola. If it isn't Coca-Cola, it's Keurig Dr Pepper. If it isn't Keurig Dr Pepper, it's PepsiCo. Late stage capitalism sucks.

Gotta get a beanbag chair or something. Aside from that, I don't see a problem (for a bachelor who is content to remain a bachelor).

That's not how men live, that's how teenagers live. The place lacks a woodworking bench, a 3D printer farm, a chef knife wall with an industrial wok burner, and a rack of mountain bikes. Also not a single cat in the picture, savages...

The only thing wrong is that there is carpet. Also, I miss those days of freedom. I never appreciated them when I had them.

Does anyone else get irrationally upset when people leave pizza boxes wide open like that? You're letting all the heat escape!

Meanwhile I have to keep everything I eat in a food warmer up until the very minute I'm about to eat it. Warm foods taste so much better when they're hot.

Pizza and chocolate milk?

I mean I like them both, but together?

This game was proof all you need to make a great Pokemon game is to let someone other than Gamefreak make it. Legends Arecus is a huge step in the right direction but it was more of a demo than a complete experience (it was short when you remember most of it is repetitive and lacked Pokemon basics such as abilities).
