Ooh look at Mr Moneybags with his two crates. Us poors are over here with our plebian cardboard we pulled from a dumpster while you're living it up with your latticed plastic.

silence from the poor Souls that do not have Internet to contribute to this hilarious Jab and find Joy by watching Grass grow

Oh la di da, look at this captain of industry with his "grass" and his "joy". Some of us get by on momentary distraction by a passing cloud.

Yep. Raise the TV to eye level. Then there are no remaining problems with this setup.

23

Too much echo, too. Throw some shit on the walls. Shit you enjoy looking at. Then less echo.

Quick edit: TV speakers, egregious sin from me. If this person is always using headphones, ignore, but that’s so not common and the couch suggests guests. 50USD beginner Logitech or Pebble 2.1 PC Speaker+sub set and a 3.5mm-to-RCA adapter (if the TV doesn’t have a headphone jack) and you’re golden. Shoot, a set of pebbles without the sub would be 100x better than the TV speakers and that’s like 20-30 moneys… but do yourself a favor and at least get a lil sub. Even the ultra shy lil pebble sub makes a pretty big difference.

Nope.

According to the tv too high people, this is clearly too high.

It should be about a foot into the floor for proper neck strain.

I was going to say “no gaming pc” but let’s not get picky.

No, let's get picky! This looks like someone who wouldn't even be running Linux on the gaming PC they don't have!

Wait… there’s… there’s… gaming PCs without Linux??! 👀😱

Just like there's life without happiness. Some people haven't known anything else though sadly.

If it is AndroidTV, just install RetroArch.

We need more FLOSS Android games that can be played with a remote or gamepad

I was going to say the box that the TV came in but whatever works

7

Put it upright and balance your brand new tv precariously on a thin piece of cardboard.

No, absolutely not. This is horrible beyond measures. Who made this? Satan?

The TV surely needs some refrigerator-box it could stand on, it's way too low. Barbarians...

There are 7 cans on the floor, not counting the open one. A .5l can of beer warms by 10..15 degrees in about half an hour. If the tempo is set to 15 minutes a can, by the middle of the stack you'll get 3..4 cans of piss warm beer.

So realistically to get all of them chill, you need to do at the pace of 5..7 minutes a can. Can be done of you're into turning your evening into a sporting event.

The TV is ugly low, that's right.

What if they have underfloor cooling/heating? Maybe it is cranked down and keeping the beer mildly cool

2

Underfloor cooling is really rare (basically never used) because if you cool the floor to near/below the dew point, you'll get water condensing on it.

Normally you want that water condensing somewhere with a good drain, so you get dehumidification too.

The TV is too low

Other than that, go nuts lol

EDIT: Oh, damn! We all said the same thing about the TV. Like Jerry Smith in the Jerry Daycare episode. I am become dad, destroyer of factory settings lol

What's with the fancy-pants la-de-dah white cushion? Is the chairs own cushioning not good enough?

I was thinking a box was missing. I'm not looking down at my tv, get a few from the liquor store, they're stronger

I bought into the lifestyle creep at some point, and became convinced that my house had to be filled with house things. Let me tell you, it's no more cozier than what's pictured in the meme.

Flip everything towards the fireplace and put the tv on the mantle then BOOM!...redecorated.

10

Order a TV wall mount you savage.

Then put the TV on top of it. Raises it up about 4 inches. Perfect.

For now, that mantle would be a better place for that tv, assuming it can be safely placed there.

Otherwise, a box or lawn chair would be a good base for the TV.

Drink beers to construct tv stand over time. It’s motivation, sense of accomplishment, and being goal oriented.

And be sloppy with it, let it dribble. A tacky stack is a happy stack

while at a first glance you may conjecture that nothing is particularly out of the ordinary, the glow of the cherenkov radiation seen behind the television is a telltale sign of this apartment being flooded with water. the beer cans lack any meaningful thickness of insulation, and making the assumption that the water is of adequate temperature for the habitation of warm blooded creatures, the beer will thus warm rapidly.

Nightmare. I found some Lenovo Tiny machines for 50 moneys each and now they’re on every screen in the house. Infinite access to everything on every screen with no ads anywhere is just incredible.

I’m eagerly awaiting the release of the framework touchpad keyboard so I can replace all many k400s, though. Please come to me, good touchpad keyboard…

They see financial responsibility and decry it as poor taste. Even the beer looks cheap, this is what a responsible man looks like.

5

I would get some kind of stand or table for the TV. But otherwise... I don't see an issue.

The chair gets called a lot of things like ottoman or lounge though I believe the specific name is chaise lounge.

They are very nice if you get a properly cushioned one, but can be a struggle to get out of when you're tired.

God I know Right? WTF is up with the 2 gang light switch over by the fireplace? gonna walk across the dark room to turn a light on? The one for the electric fireplade is fine

i wonder whether you really need that chimney but apart from that, it's fine

maybe could have gone with a simple mattress instead of a couch

A couch works better as a bed than a bed does as a couch.
