Dudes be living like this and proudly share it like I'm supposed to see it and go "hell yeah" but all I can say is "oh no"

Not really bashing the collection of figures. It's good to have a hobby and building models is rewarding for some. Vidya games is something everyone loves. Consuming slop is what we all do, so no issues with the slop-center either. Just. The lights. Everything that isn't a toy is grey. The suspicious of a kitchen or bathroom in the supposed highlight of his home. Slop me up buttercup.
i tend to hold onto computers long enough that the cpu socket changes so i can't really re-use shit. save up for the better part of 10 years, buy something top of the line, save up for another ten years.
Most people do that I think. I have been using the same 2 cases and power supplies for over a decade tho.
There's no excuse to not reuse the case especially since the cases aren't even that different.
Exactly! The fact that this person isn’t using that Alienware case in 2026 is the most egregious part.
The inside of my closet has the scavenged corpses of like 6 or 7 machines some just the case, some in various states of dissection. Having 4 functional PCs? Excessive. But like others said this sounds like the kind of dweeb who has every PC he's used since '95 on display.
Nah, this is a lot worse than that. It's just three contemporary gaming PCs with an older model PC. There's no reason why he can't reuse parts or reuse those PCs as home servers. At least the 95 era PC has obsolete parts (pre PS/2 ports, pre-DDR RAM) and looks different (beige box).
If i had the money and space id have my dream pc from each era from win 95 to now
I think the 3 PCs are the old ones? Like retired players jerseys
edit: and to point #2 - exactly! Nothing that shows someone is living there. Again not showing your kitchen, I know this might seem like a weird obsession, but come on! IT'S THE HEART OF THE HOME IS WHAT KITCHY PEOPLE LIKE ME SAY
Idk, I actually cook and so our kitchen is pretty well used, but it looks very utilitarian. The walls are even a similar shade of gray to the one in the op (not my choice and there will be a reckoning some day).
But there's also no indication that the outdoors exists. No plants, windows are all shaded, no exterior spaces.
Nothing wrong with a utilitarian kitchen. The reason I am poiting out its absence is that a kitchen is a place where you make stuff, there's an inherent heart to it.
It's odd that there are a mouse and keyboard hooked up to each PC.
It could almost be nice, if they were spaced out in such a way to make it seem like they were set up and ready to go for LAN parties or something, but it doesn't feel like that, it doesn't feel inviting.
What's bothering me more is that the retro consoles aren't in the TV room. Everything is just for show.
The whole home seems like a museum exhibit
Couldn't get a picture of the kitchen 'cause of the shine off 10,000 sets of untouched copper cookware hanging from the ceiling
And a dirty air fryer that is the obvious workhorse.
I think the new thing is french cheramic cooking utensils
If I walked into this dude's place that would probably be the biggest concern to me. It's clean, organized which is good, but don't you have any knick-knacks or memories or fun objects someone gave you? My place is full of colorful things that have sentimentality. This just looks like the front page of what's cool from Man Magazine or some shit.
EDIT: I looked at his other pics, he has a fuck-load of colorful figures and models on some shelves (and wall of mounted bluray cases...), but still looks soulless, my point stands.
Sure, because everyone is capable of being able to go out (or even have the time), or even be able form emotional bonds with people... Surely this criticism (and others like it in this very thread) isn't reminding me why I hate being around people, why I keep anything and everything to myself, why I willingly work night shift, why I always feel like I never belong anywhere I go.
I agree with you, I felt like my critique could be hurtful to people that struggle with that sort of stuff, most of my life I have had very few friends and felt excruciating social anxiety and inability to fit in pretty much always, until sort of recently when it's gotten mildly better. Having the things that reflect these sorts of connections doesn't make a person better or worse, I didn't mean to imply any sort of judgement on anyone besides this particular person.
It's turning ones self into a brand
