Lies!

I see wi-fi antennae. What gamer settles for that?

I want to go to an estate agent and say "I want a house so wired that if I down 82 redbulls and punch through the drywall after losing a round of Call of Skyrim, anywhere in the house, I should be able to reach in the hole and pull out a bale of Cat 6."

Wifi 6 is pretty amazing. I play on it since my apartment has a weird layout and I will not drag a cable from one side of the apartment (where the router is) to the other (where the office is located).

Network latency averages somewhere around 5ms which is totally fine.

Looks like a router to me, in which case it's probably for his phone and tv.

The pc is close enough to it to be hardwired

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I have a similar setup. Three monitors with the tower behind and a router on top. All hard-lined. Wifi is only for dumb shit like phones and handhelds.

We're living with my grandmother temporarily, and we don't want the risk of trip hazard so had to get a good WiFi router.

It goes down whenever she uses the microwave - awesome for me, as I work from home.

Also we're tied to using her ISPs router because we didn't want to risk losing her phone number and other dramas moving to ours, so the modem router we use is theirs, and it sucks and the first two have blown up in the space of a year - we're on our third.

Meanwhile our great equipment is sitting in plastic crates in the garage.

Oh well. Do it for her!

What's bad about this?

Take 2 days to lay a carpet and paint the place and it'll be completely fine. Easy and simple.

[-] [email protected] 39 points 1 year ago

Sure it’s easy. That’s why the seller should have done it. If you sell a house you should stage it properly so you get the most money out of it. Many people have zero imagination and can’t see past the current interior design. The seller is an idiot for putting it on sale like this. They don’t even have to place carpet just coat the floor with white paint and it suddenly looks modern.

💯 Pictures like this turn potential buyers away.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Especially on a home that's listing above half a million. That's right, all this can be yours for over 500k.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I could install that carpet for you in a short afternoon but I do it professionally.

[-] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

I can smell the black mold

[-] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

Still more in it than some programmer 'homes' I've seen, where it's matress on the floor, boxes as tables, but a desk and a computer.

Reminds me of drug dens. I think this kind of thing happens when too much of your life is consumed by a single thing....

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I had to quickly move to a short-term rental and I did this. I had a three-inch pad on the floor to sleep on, a folding chair, and a desk with my laptop on it.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I'm a programmer, and as such, knew lots of other programmers. It was alarmingly common. I always tried to make a bit more of a home, and do other things outside of programming outside of work, but most didn't. It was office or pub. But maybe it's a 20s thing.

They’ve been spending most their lives living in the gamers paradise~

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

A dream come true. Whoever lives there must be a fundamentally happy person.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

These are the type of people that feed in my league of legends games

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Is that paint overspray on the couch?

To me, a gamers paradise is a clean desk with a high end PC connected to a removedin sweet ultra wide monitor. This pic just makes me itch all over.

Rage-quitting must be extra satisfying, throwing your controller down onto bare concrete.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

There's no scattered empty soda, and chip bags. Also, there's definitely be a layer of cheatoh and Doritos dust over everything giving a sort of neon orange tinge. Clearly this is staged.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Do you think they started painting the walls and gave up, or did they get the room with the walls halfway painted and just decide it wasn't worth finishing?

Anyway I spend like 90% of my time these days in a garage with all my shit on a table next to me so i can't really judge.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago
[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

That's concrete. You can see tyre marks - it appears to have been a garage in a former life.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

*In a current life too.

In my younger days, I rented a bedroom that was a converted dining room next to the kitchen but even that was miles better than this.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I can smell it from here…

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Eesh. The dwelling of someone who only lives virtually. Depressing.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Typing this right now from a garage office with unpainted, somewhat uninsulated walls and a concrete floor. I don't mind working in it, but I wouldn't want to live here.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Is that a bedpan? Potty whatever? Under the bed?

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I don't know what it is but it seems to have a wintery ice-skating scene on it.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I saw it as more of an antifa scene of a street protest? Hard to tell

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I would need AC but apart from that....

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Wow! Dirty mofos

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That's where they house mmo bot makers
