Slop.

My cat only sees a myriad of places to throw up.

I have friends who own their own home and at first I thought this was literally their place, only way I can tell it isn't is because there aren't cat toys and dirty clothes everywhere (It was awful to be there when they first moved in, but it feels a little more "lived in" now, and they have more interesting decorations now).

I don't understand this decorating mindset, where everything has to be derivative of some kind of product. Maybe I don't get it as an "artsy" person because all the artistically and musically inclined people I know decorate their homes with paintings and knickknacks from places they've been, stuff with sentimental value.

I suppose that's what the movie posters and lego millennium falcons and funko pops are to these people, they are sentimental, because some people mostly experience the world through their tv screens, through fiction.

I was not expecting to feel sad about a pretty standard millennial living room and study today, but here we are.

When i lived on my own i don't think my place was ever clean enough to take a pic and post it online so like... looks fine to me? Needs more goofy shit for my taste but it's obviously taken care of

Yknow what? It's clean. I give it a B

This guy spent $283,000 on toys. What the fuck

Imagine having all that money and spending it on yourself, for your own pleasure and to impress others. This kind of mentality, and a nice fat hunk of wealth distributed to the aristocratic 10% of workers (yea they are blended with the managerial class and dip their toes into the capitalist class's pool, but ultimately they go to work to be able to survive) is what keeps the fantasy that "capitalism works" alive. I'm sure this person did work hard, did study hard, and now enjoys material success, but they remain blind that the privilege of their 10% status rests directly upon the emiseration of the 90%, and props up the 0.1%. Something something paycheck depends on not understanding shit.

He has furniture i give him a passing grade

0 books

These "I'm mysterious and silent" type guys used to be cool and nonconformist and proud of niche hobbies, now it's just normie shit (Hollywood, Wh40k, Brandon Sanderson etc).

I wish I had my own place

Come at me haters but I see this and I'm like a child lives here

Pairing Godzilla vs T-Rex like they are anywhere near the same size is a true red flag crime. Godzilla could literally crush T-Rex under a foot.

I had to spend time taking in this delicious slop. After some reflection:

1. The drab grey interior isn't a killer by any means if he open the window blinds to show the greenery outside. I knew someone who had a room that was completely white. The white room was also right next to the backyard and the white room had massive windows that they constantly keep the blinds open. Having plants in the background takes away a lot of the sterile feeling that having a drab grey interior would produce.

2. The combination of everything being clean and brand new gives a completely sterile "this looks like a museum exhibit" vibe. There's absolutely no evidence that the dude or any human actually lives here. You could get away with this if you have worn furniture. For example, if the table and chair in the action figure room were worn out, then it wouldn't have that sterile feeling anymore because the table and chair would've been worn out from use. I think people like OP conflate something being clean and something being new. You could absolutely have a clean worn out table (that's how most people's tables look like).

3. No tools just gives me the impression that he's a talentless consoomer who literally buys everything, including the labor to assemble his treats. This particular aesthetic just speaks to a deep-rooted contempt of labor. Where's the screwdriver for his assembled gaming PC? Where's the paint for his assembled action figures? He like the vast majority of homeowners obviously has tools, but it's a clear aesthetic choice to hide those tools as if they're something to be ashamed of. This also fits neatly into your critique about him not showing his kitchen. He probably has perfectly functional knives and other cooking utensils, but because they aren't brand new (see point 2) and shows that he has to occasionally gets his hands dirty like a filthy prole, they must be squirreled away.

4. The four (4) PCs just takes the cake. First of all, he splurged money on four (4) complete gaming PCs instead of reusing parts like a normal person. Second of all, he lacks the technical skills to repurpose those PCs into something cool like some home server(s). Third of all, those PCs don't even look different from one another to show off. At least throw in a beige box (which would go well with the rest of the house lol) or something. And not that fake beige box which is obviously a PC case made in ~2020 but a real beige box where you need to unscrew 10 screws before taking the case out. It's funny that I could actually pull this off a lot better than him because I have a PC from circa 1995, a PC from circa 2005, and a PC from 2013. The only main obstacle is the 2005 PC is in an anachronistic beige box even though PCs from that era have moved past the beige box aesthetic. It also would work a lot better than four (4) gaming PCs because my memories associated with those PCs are very different from one another because they are spaced ten years apart from each other. Meanwhile, he's just using those PCs to consoom AAA slop.

I'm also scrolling through other posts on that subreddit and check this one out: https://old.reddit.com/r/malelivingspace/comments/1r5y07e/inspired_by_recent_star_wars_post/ This is literally just a cooler version of OP. Unlike OP's soulless consumerism, you could also see this person's personality come out of the aesthetic. The helmet collection is kinda creepy, but he's 100% aware of and leans hard to it right down to putting the lifesize figure of frozen Han Solo in the same room as the helmets. He needs a predator mask helmet or better yet a predator statue to really sell home the point. It's still consumerism, but it at least has some soul to it.

This person either drives a Tesla or a Buick, I feel it in my bones.

I feel like these rooms would look a lot nicer with some better color choices. A brown wood floor I feel would provide a lot more contrast.

I never thought my hundreds of thousands of dollars of Funko Pops and I would be able to afford to own a home. Yet here we are, living our best lives, together!

Looking more closely I might have judged too harshly, asthetically at least, if he likes the 'art' he has then that's what's important, if they had some lamps with better lighting tone, a nicer rug to contrast the gray, a plant or two or just anything that feels organic. If the kitchen was nice and felt more 'lived-in' it could make up for it a bit.

It looks very boring but dreamcast is swag. The only interior design I want is old library because it does something to my brain. That or I want to live in a Cathedral.
