This is silly. I'm in my 40's and would never live like this.

Obviously I need a chair with back support and a bottle of Tums to go with this otherwise awesome night.

[-] Halasham@dormi.zone 22 points 2 years ago

And something to hold the TV at a reasonable viewing angle from a comfy seated position.

[-] The_v@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

My wife still thinks that the box filled with school books was not an appropriate TV stand. Sheesh... I wrapped it in a blue blanket to class it up.

[-] Guy_Fieris_Hair@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Old milk crates were awesome for that. Hold the TV then have a place for your console underneath if you put it on it's side.

I'd take a bean bag chair (I'm pretty lucky with my back, apparently), but I ain't sitting on no floor.

My butt will fall asleep!

[-] pkill@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

bean bag + coffee table ๐Ÿ’š one sure way to make me not sit in a position that violates several principles of orthopedics and ergonomics

[-] Twitches@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Lol my body is broken I can't sit on the floor like that for long periods of time or I might not be able to get up

[-] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Help, I've sitted and cannot get up! Pass the robax will ya?

[-] KinglyWeevil@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

Throw in some knob creek and I'm fucking sold

[-] paraphrand@lemmy.world 36 points 2 years ago

I just turned 40 and all I see is back pain.

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 years ago

Back pain and eye strain. That's a CRT.

[-] pkill@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

and a 100% lethal electrocution risk

I don't like the carpet much, I think I see her point. The rest is perfect. The cube was my favorite.

[-] anarchrist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 years ago

Last thing Nintendo did that didn't just piss me off.

[-] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago

But like fr

Although I gotta say early wiis with GCN compatibility were dope too.

[-] mortimerkahn@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago

I'm just amazed at how clean that carpet is. If it was a Pro Gamer carpet, stains would start to materialize immediately

[-] s12@sopuli.xyz 12 points 2 years ago

Iโ€™d want to elevate that TV a bit. Maybe add some books.

[-] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

Maybe add some books.

Hell naw. Milk crates, lumber, and cinder blocks. All items you can find somewhere close to home.

[-] Shialac@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I dont think I could find any of those items close to my home

[-] EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago

Or maybe put it on one of those super low-to-the-ground tables that they have in some places in Japan where you kneel at the table instead of sitting at it.

[-] Emmie@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Ah so you are a true literate

[-] grimaferve@fedia.io 9 points 2 years ago

Yup that's perfection for me. Next thing I know, it's 4AM the birds outside having an argument, me wondering what happened to the last 8 hours LOL.

[-] GrabtharsHammer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Every time I hear "What I Like About You" I think of Kongas.

[-] vsg@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

At least have a support for the TV, a table for the pizza and the videogame and a chair to sit.

[-] randomdeadguy@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Wavebird ๐Ÿ‘Œ

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

This would be hella hard. I wouldn't be able to eat the pizza and play the game at the same time.

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

That pizza doesnt look very comfortable

[-] flop_leash_973@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Can't believe you forgot the bread sticks.

[-] Murdoc@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Hmm, not me. I like furniture, and decorations. Odd ones to be sure, but I still like my luxuries. Lots of sensory stimulation. As for gaming, my pc is a decked out RGB circus with ultra-wide monitor.

[-] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

I hate the "RGB Circus". When I had my current pc built my main spec was to "Not look like a fuckin xmas tree" lol, she laughed. Only lights from my pc is the cpu heat sync, and the network activity, there is "stuff" blocking the light from leaving the corner it is in as I sleep in the room.

[-] Murdoc@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I do seem to be in the minority here on this. I wonder if this could be just an NT trait of mine, or maybe I'm AuDHD? I seem to have some similarities there but I'm still not sure. Or just a different autistic trait? I know that I like lots of stimulation. Not like chaotic and unexpected stuff, which seems autistic, but like I said, lots of decorations, trippy screensavers, I'm always touching fabrics, that kind of thing. ๐Ÿค”
