Stop posting pictures of my college apartment.
my first thought when seeing this, before reading the caption, was "hell yeah im jealous as fuck"
I guess I am too old, my first thought when I see this picture is "my poor back". 😂
That’s usually my first thought after getting out of bed!
You should stretch before getting out of bed.
I'm only in my 30s but I have joint issues and since I started stretching before I get out of bed, I have had less back issues, particularly my lower back.
I’m recoiling from the greasy pizza box on the carpet
Yeah, my response was "needs a comfy seat, something to put the TV on so it's eye level, and something to put the pizza and drink on so they're within arm's reach".
But otherwise this is peak. I had a space in my parent's basement like this with an old couch and dresser that had been headed to the dump, along with the big family CRT when they upgraded to LCD. Add some Bionicle and other Lego to fidget with and inject that nostalgia into my veins.

The WaveBird is a problem. Those are notoriously aweful.
Since when? Wavebird is the tits. I could use that thing all the way from the kitchen.
Since they were first released. They are known for noticeable input delay, and connection issues causing occasional dropped inputs and/or extra ghost inputs. Their only advantage is being able to sit further away, but in the picture, buddy is going to be within 3 feet of the console. Within range of a wire on a standard controller.
Its probably fine for some Pokemon Colosseum, but there is a reason you are never going to see them at a Melee tourney.
Interesting, this is the first I've ever heard anything negative about the Wavebird (other than lack of rumble). I played a shitton of GameCube in my younger years and never had any of the problems you described, or heard of anyone else having those problems.
I just looked it up and the Wavebird has 9ms or input latency--less than a frame. Regular GameCube controller has 4ms, so only 5ms added. So yeah, maybe too much for competitive smash? But negligible for anything else.
The secondary market also seems positive on the Wavebird: the cheapest (complete or working) one I can find on eBay right now is $60.
Throw some dog toys and a dog in the photo, and this was me about 16 years ago before I met my now ex wife. In the bedroom was a deflated air mattress.
+1 for Pokemon Colosseum.
Isn’t that like the black sheep of Pokémon games? And one of my favorites: I’m feeling majorly nostalgic RN.
Another +1 for a wireless GC controller. This is a man of sophistication and culture.
It's funny he sprung for the wireless controller despite his clear intention to sit 2 feet from the TV lol
Colosseum was great. Maybe it was a different version but I remember you could import your pokemon from the gameboy games so it was just gym battles with much better graphics. Also yeah. The (wavebird?) controller was the shit back then. Your friend having one meant they had rich parents.
I need at least a plastic lawn chair and some milk crates for the tv or my back will explode. Otherwise looks decent.
Give me a beanbag chair and we're in business
I'm in my thirties so I too crave this scenario but what I really wanna talk about is the amount of people mentioning sitting on the floor hurting their back. Sedentary lifestyles and/or the constant push for more labor has wiped out something humanity has done for thousands of years.
I feel weird for fixating on this but it's a little sad a lot of people are losing the ability to just sit on some grass and exist
It's more the TV won't be at eye level so you'll naturally hunch your back which tends to be poor sitting posture.
After coming too close to personally finding out the hard way that alcholoism does indeed run in my patriarchichal lineage...
Take out the Jack, maybe replace it with some Kombucha, or just a nice non alco cocktail, and yep, this looks amazing.
Just keep that carpet clean, eat that pizza with some plates or something, or use the other side of the open box as your psuedo plate.
The Jack? Zoom in…that’s chocolate milk.
Ahahah!
I legit didn't see that, I actually need glasses.
Amazing. Choccy milk is a great choice rofl.
Yep! This dudes just missing some chocolate donuts or smth
Don't be so harsh give the guy some time to collect enough pizza boxes f to build up
There is remote controls for game cube?
Not a fan of carpet flooring but otherwise livible
Please justify your outrageous opinion
I've never lived in a flat/house with carpet floors. Always tiles, wood floors, pvc, vinyl, linoleum or wood laminate. I don't think I've ever visited a home with carpet flooring. The only places I know it from is hotels and videos of really old run down ruins that need to be ripped apart and renovated from the base.
It gives me the ick, I feel like they're always dirty and dusty. Normally I'm not squeamish, but I just don't feel comfortable on carpet flooring. I've grown up washing my floors wet or swiping. It just doesn't fit into my head. However, laying a spatially limited carpet on a hard floor is beautiful.
There. I tried.
Fair reasoning! I would say you've missed out though, a nice (i.e. not horrible, old, and dirty) carpet is warm, cosy, and comfortable to sit on.
Sweeping the floor is cheaper and can be done at any hour, walking on old carpet especially kicks up dust and even after vacuuming it feels kind of gross (probably because I know it hasn't been washed). Non-carpet floors are also easier to actually clean (or just wipe up spills etc), at least where I am where the air isn't super-dry.
I'm with them, a throw rug would be fine so long as you can still pick it up to clean it elsewhere. Though I'd still rather just use a broom.
Also, cold floors doesn't bother me but wearing socks/slippers instead is a nice option.

Man, I wish my life were that simple again.
That looks so fucking relaxing, like I have nothing to do for the rest of the evening, and no pressing concerns as I sip my chocolate milk.
Only thing I would change: out that TV on a milk crate so your neck isnt strained even more than it is from sitting on the floor.
That was exactly my setup when I struck out on my own.
GameCube, wavebird, bongos, Twilight Princess. PS2, Guitar Hero, mod chip, case full of burned games. Single twin size mattress on the floor.
Those were the best days of my life.
I had two DVDs. Napoleon Dynamite and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
No internet, no telephone. I wanted to be creative and I didn’t want distractions. I wrote most of my songs in that little window.
Screw it. I never share my music. Here’s one of the songs I recorded.

This song slaps, did you do all the parts yourself? Are you still making music?
I really do appreciate your comment. You put this stuff together and think it won’t ever be heard, so it feels good when someone likes it.
Yeah I do. Not as much as I did then. I really appreciate the comment.
I did do all the parts, but I had originally recorded the drums on an old cheap Yamaha electric pad thing. I met someone online years ago who remastered the recording and redid the drums.
I’ve shared my music like 3 times in the last decade. I mostly just do it for me and for my people when I kick the bucket, in case they want it. I know my son does. He wants everything, even all of the hours and hours of recordings where I was trying to come up with something.
I’m really glad you like it. I’ll share a few more.

And here are a couple more recent songs.
Can you post the rest to YT? That second YT one reminds me of like a sea sick steve with grunge, shits awesome.

That sure looks like my old TV. The screen was flat but cropped the edges pretty significantly, even eating into the title safe area so sometimes you couldn’t read everything that was on-screen.
OOP missed the mark on this one. This is serene. Like you moved out either for the first time or transferred to a new city and brought only the things you love before you fill your house up with trash

ITT: A lot of guys going "Ah man this was first days in my first apartment out on my own. Good times."
Chocolate milk, GameCube, and me!
Well, I guess if fairlife is all you can find, it's better than nothing
Dude sprang for the WaveBird and what I assume is delivery pizza, how many more luxuries should he have?
