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.
I remember reading that Nintendo designed the SNES with a hump to help prevent people from setting food and drinks on it since the NES made a great table for things to spill on. Guess they gave up when they designed the Gamecube!
First design decision was probably to improve the design, second one was when they realized that the bad design made more money when people needed to replace consoles.
I was going to say maybe it's because you can stack flat consoles and a lot of entertainment stands are easier to access the front from than the top, but you still had to access the top of the flat GCN.
Then neck again when you go prone.
Then back again when you hide in a box
snake? Snake?
SNAAAAAAAAAAKEE!
Sorry, Colonel. I am trying to sneak around, but I'm dummy thicc and the clap of my asscheeks keeps alerting the guards
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.
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.
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.
Ok I'm gonna guess you're missing the joke for autism or whatever, so I'll explain. The person in the pic probably uploaded it themselves and just wanted to share their nostalgia.
I understand the joke, and as an aside brought up that real people do this irl.
Nothing to do with autism lmfao. Sorry you couldn’t understand what I meant and felt the need to say some ignorant ass shit instead lmao.
Or it could just be a humorous joke that everybody enjoys, except for that one miserable douchbag who insists on ruining everybody else's fun because mama didn't love them enough or whatever your problem is.
The "one miserable douchebag" in this scenario is I assume the target of this particular brand of bullying? I somehow doubt that a lack of motherly affection is the root cause...
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.
I can’t disagree with you there.
Perhaps this gentleman decided he didn’t want carpets anymore and doesn’t care what happens to them until the day comes to rip them out.
However my guess is he never even thought that far ahead.
Oohhhhh ya. That’s why you can’t recycle pizza boxes. They soak up grease.
Take a look at the bottom of a pizza box next time you order pizza.
I never order pizza. I'm a healthy person with six-pack abs but dangit my doctor told me yesterday a recent breast biopsy came back malignant so I have to get surgery next week 😭, So we can all try our damndest to be healthy, but cancer doesn't discriminate.
That makes no sense at all.
Good pizza is just as greasy as bad pizza.
By nature a pizza is greasy due to all of the melted cheese.
That’s like saying a good burger isn’t greasy. Of course it’s going to be greasy.
I've had good cheesy pizzas that have less grease. If you pick up the pizza and the bottom of the box is damp it's too greasy.
What do you consider “good” pizza?
I’ve made a lot of pizza in my day and it’s damn near impossible to avoid grease.
It comes from the pepperoni and cheese and anything else fatty that you top it with.
Are you saying good pizza is made with ingredients that don’t have fatty grease? You’d have to use low fat cheese, etc. To me that isn’t “good” pizza.
As for pizzas I get from restaurants I’ve never had one that didn’t have at least some grease in the pizza box. This is coming from someone that lives in the NY area where pretty much all pizza there is gourmet authentic pizza and not franchise pizza like dominos.
I think our definitions of good pizza are way different.
Good pizza should have some grease to it, otherwise the ingredients are questionable.
Both statements are entirely valid, as neither pizza nor burgers require meat or cheese.
Good point but if you work in a pizza restaurant you’ll realize almost NO ONE orders pizza without cheese. There is the very rare order it happens but it’s extremely rare.
So technically you are right but in practicality you are way off.
However with a burger it’s the meat that is greasy. Not so much the cheese. So unless you’re having a non-beef burger (not really a burger) it’s going to be greasy no matter what you put on it.
True, restaurant/delivery pizza - even vegan options - are almost universally super oily.
Non-meat burgers are most definitely burgers, and do have the benefits of not only having more variety, but are easily made to be actually healthy if desired.
The pizza in general looks nasty. Too small in diameter, too much dough for the toppings, too much grease. I've had frozen pizza that looked better than this abomination.
Agreed. This is your run of the mill franchise pizza. It’s all garbage imo compared to real authentic pizza.
Sadly most people have never experienced authentic pizza because out west it’s all franchise pizza. You gotta come to the east coast for the good stuff.
You really don't. You can get all kinds of regional cuisines outside the regions they originated and became popular, pizza styles being perhaps the most ubiquitous.
Just completely ignoring the unique beauty that is Midwest/Chicago/tavern style thin crust pizza. Or Detroit style pizza. Or any of the other various and delicious regional styles in the dozens of states between the coasts. Nope, the only pizza that exists is west coast franchises, and the '''real''' stuff on the east coast.
Open yourself up to new experiences man, the world of pizza is wide and wild, and a ton of fun if you let loose of your elitist "the only '''real''' pizza is east coast pizza" schtick.
When I go to Detroit or Chicago I’ll be enthusiastic to try it. Never said I was against it. As long as it’s a legit restaurant and not dominos or some franchise shit.
But I am happy to shit on franchise pizza because it sucks in comparison to what you listed, or the east coast. Which is the entire point.
Feel free to disagree. I don’t care because my taste buds know the difference.
That wireless controller is a bit pointless if you’re sitting 1.5m away from the screen. Gotta give her that.
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.
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.
Depends with the Wavebird. Due to using RF, the range can be pretty good. Or really bad if you live in a busy city.
Now you can move the pizza directly in front for the perfect loading screen snack with no obstacles!
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.
To be honest with a smart TV most of the ports are useless. Most women I know don't have many extra things to plug in to the TV
Until a year or two after you buy your "smart" tv when it doesnt have the resources to run netflix with subtitles on because apparently that's too intensive
speaking from experience here.
Smart TVs are dumb, set top boxes are king
Yeah I don't need pesky wires or plugs to connect my surround sound system to my fancy smart TV, I can just use hopes and dreams
I have a sound bar that can apparently connect via Bluetooth but I can't work out why anyone would do that. You've gone to the trouble of getting an expensive soundbar so why would you then connect it via an inferior system that results in worse sound quality?
TBF you can still use the optical port.
Like I said to the person who started this conversation, why even bother with more than one HDMI port? Once you hook up a PC, literally all the games and media you could ever want to consume is available to you. Hell, if you don't game and don't need a PC for office work, you could get away with just the TV alone.
Not saying that TV manufacturers should start removing ports; just making a point.
Yeah seriously; why do TVs even come with more than one HDMI port? A PC and a smart TV alone all the games and media one could ever need in their household. Hell, if you don't game and don't have a work from home job, you could get away with a just the TV itself.
Yeah the point of my comment was you guys need all that shit, most women and some dudes I know use the TV as just that, no need to plug anything else in just a fucking slab with pictures moving on it. Perfect.
I am a man, and I see many problems with this:
A couch? A coffee table? OK, King Louis XIV. The rest of us will make do with a floor gaming chair.
I'm not sure you realize how much heavy lifting I'm making the quotations around "coffee table" do.
Costs? These materials are easily found roadside or elsewhere. The blocks have chunks missing or are uneven, so a matchbook or folded cardboard helps level out the wobble for the weather-soaked grey plank.
I know as I've done just that.
Also a lot of construction sites are kind enough to leave a pile of free construction materials somewhere on the site, like they are saying, "we have extra so help yourself! 😁" I try to only help myself at night, because I'm considerate enough to avoid getting in the way of the actual construction.
I too create my own furniture out of mostly-empty pizza boxes
(kinda-related story time: I used to live in an apartment with 4 other gay furries [the sitcom writes itself] and we very often ordered in from dominos. Like so much so our delivery guy seemed to take a genuine interest in how we are doing. But after I spent a day making the kitchen spotless, and the next day it looked as awful as before I touched it, I stopped giving a shit. Of many factors, it was silently decided that the one taking out the trash was the one who lost the game of jenga with the garbage. So skill and precision were needed whenever you were adding to the stack that was as high as an adult (or more), as the actual garbage bin for the apartment complex was like 500 feet away and 4 stories below us. Multiple trips were necessary, even if you bothered to use trash bags to simplify the excursion. I wish I'd have taken photos, this was a challenge where boys became men.)
Ehh but they've got a wavebird, so you know they're already ballin.
Or they were very specific for their birthday request
Clearly it is a young man's place. A more mature man would have a second hand recliner and a bottle of alcohol to wash down the bitter taste of divorce.
The recliner would be ugly as hell (I still have a second hand one from years ago) but so comfortable that it would suck the soul out of you if you laid down in it too long.
And there's bourbon in the chocolate milk.
The Donkey Kong Bongos accessory on top of the TV is just...chef's kiss. Perfect.

It also reacts if your laugh is too high pitched.
Japanese girls learned this the hard way.
That video is titled "The Forgotten Accessory." Since when was it forgotten? I guess you can throw that onto any video for clickbait.
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).
The only thing wrong is that there is carpet. Also, I miss those days of freedom. I never appreciated them when I had them.
90s childhood: that carpet, Sega Genesis/SNES, cathodic TV, some gaming or Sports Illustrated paraphernalia, Pizza & some shitty pop.
But fully agree that back then, it felt like it would last forever. Nostalgia is strong with this one.
Broke freedom to rich bondage. I’ve lived both. Honestly can’t tell you which I prefer.
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...
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.
I just take so long to eat anything that as much as I might savor those first hot bites, I know I can't eat fast enough to enjoy more than that unless I wanna warm it back up before every bite
Well that's where the food warmer comes into play. If you don't have one, then you can use the oven or toaster oven (set it to 140°F if it'll go that low). Take out one portion at a time and the rest will stay warm until you're ready to eat it. You can even add a small bowl of water to the bottom of the oven to help keep the food from drying out.
What if you drop your controller? Do you want controller in your pizza? Pizza on your controller?
This is the same as the toilet lid conversation, isn’t it? If you’ve ever witnessed something falling in or even heard of it, for the love of god, why aren’t you keeping that closed when it’s not in use?
Sometimes I don't turn on the light, so I don't have to turn it back off...am I doing this right?
Buy a cheap ice cream maker and make your own with lactose-free dairy! It's surprisingly easy.
Did that the other day eating lunch with my youngin at their school.
Was definitely not as appealing as I near my 40s. But back in the day that shit was fine
