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.

And something to hold the TV at a reasonable viewing angle from a comfy seated position.
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.
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!
bean bag + coffee table 💚 one sure way to make me not sit in a position that violates several principles of orthopedics and ergonomics
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
Help, I've sitted and cannot get up! Pass the robax will ya?
Throw in some knob creek and I'm fucking sold
I just turned 40 and all I see is back pain.
Back pain and eye strain. That's a CRT.
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.
Last thing Nintendo did that didn't just piss me off.
But like fr
Although I gotta say early wiis with GCN compatibility were dope too.
I'm just amazed at how clean that carpet is. If it was a Pro Gamer carpet, stains would start to materialize immediately
I’d want to elevate that TV a bit. Maybe add some books.
Maybe add some books.
Hell naw. Milk crates, lumber, and cinder blocks. All items you can find somewhere close to home.
I dont think I could find any of those items close to my home
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.
Ah so you are a true literate
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.
Donkey Konga was amazing.
Every time I hear "What I Like About You" I think of Kongas.
At least have a support for the TV, a table for the pizza and the videogame and a chair to sit.
Wavebird 👌
This would be hella hard. I wouldn't be able to eat the pizza and play the game at the same time.
That pizza doesnt look very comfortable
Can't believe you forgot the bread sticks.
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.
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.
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. 🤔
