Community Where We Game 2025 - Aesthetically Unpleasing Setups Welcome

Thought we needed a new thread to show where we game and work!

Past threads

|OT| - Where We Game 2022 - Sunlight Optional

Inspired by the original 2020 thread by Le Pertti, I wanted to create a thread where we show off our gaming setups. It's been near enough two years since we last did this, and I'm sure some of us have nice new setups that we want to share with the world. With that in mind, I'll go first. This...

|OT| - Where We Game 2020 - RGB Lights Optional

We have a thread for showing of out desktop wallpapers but not our actual desktops! So let's show of our gaming setups! I'll start with my horrible current setup. Sure it's better than I had before so it can only get better!

I have some changes since last time, instead of having just series s and a Mac mini m1, I now have added a new Mac mini m4, chanced to a series x AND playstation 5 pro.

Nice thread, will update when I finish work.

Edit: Dont think this room has changed since the last thread :V

 

[Le Pertti]

Nice Stevey , love the mouse mat!

My apartment is currently a bit of a mess as I'm rearranging some stuff, but I should try to remember to take a picture once I'm done.
Whenever that is.

On the desktop?

They're part of Logitech Z623 setup. They come with a sub.
They're pretty decent for the price IMO.

My current setup

 

[Le Pertti]

Got some additions, Speakers! And a midnight black PS5 controller to use on my Mac.

I need some kind of a headphone stand like that, something that I can cover for the night to protect the cups from most dust.

I got it from Ali express. or maybe it was amazon. but yeah I should think about dust too but haven't really had an issue with that, probably because I use them daily so maybe the handling of them shakes off the dust

Yeah I use mine daily as well but I guess my apartment is just a little more dusty at the moment.

It really just affects the velour parts, maybe other types of cup fabric would be more "dust resistant". Your appear to be some kind of more smooth material, p/leather perhaps?

Yeah or both, its soft velour inside that touched the ear but outside is pleather. Yeah not sure why they aren't dusty, since my desk is often dusty!

I have an adhesive hook on the side panel of my PC and plop my headphones there

For smaller headphones Ikea has a decent stand for cheap LÅNESPELARE headset stand, ash veneer - IKEA

It does look nice but how small is small I wonder. Maybe someone has reviewed it somewhere and tested how much weight it can handle without tipping over. Not that I would know how much mine weigh of the top of my head anyway.
I need to look at this more at some point.

It's enough for HD580 but way too light and small for HE-6

 

[Parsnip]

Looks like this is in the same Lånespelare series, kind of amusing.

I finally have a reason to post here.

Got a new PC recently and on top of it decided to redo a lot of my home office setup and furniture. Still need a few things, like a new chair or some accessories and cable management but for the time being I'm happy with what I have.

This is my fun/work combo setup.
Got a new monitor dual support and got rid of the built-in feet that occupied a ton of space.
Got a standing desk so I can have to option to stand up from time to time as it was something I felt I needed. Just in frame you can also see an under desk treadmill to pair with the desk and give me the chance to do some minor exercises while reviewing documents or stuck in unending meetings. The rest is old stuff I already had (shoutout to the ikea lamp that's over 20 years old and refuses to die).

Not pictured is the utter chaos that is the current state of this room. Moving stuff around, disassembling old furniture and assembling new one took the better part of the last 3 days and I'm exhausted. Still, I'm happy with the end result so it was worth it in the end.
