    Swap our the pokemon for timesplitters, and the fairlife for seltzer water and that’s an ideal night for me.

    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.

    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

        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.

        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 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.

    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.

    Wavebird wireless GameCube controller FTW! I still have mine, 20 years later. Still works too. I bust it out once or twice a year when we play Mario Party 5 or 7.

      It’s crazy that I still have a ton of gamecube controllers in perfect condition that have hundreds of hours of use each and yet I’ve got a box of useless joycons.

      They literally don’t make them like they used to.

        I’ve had to throw away 3 Switch (3rd party) controllers due to drift issues, and I had to send my stock joy cons back to Nintendo for repair due to drift. Ridiculous.

          Its not too difficult to swap out the thumb sticks with hall effect versions and (mostly) solve the drift problem.

            Probably, but that’s not the consumers responsibility to fix a defective product. Now maybe after many hours of use, but mine was drifting within the first year.

      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.

      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.
