    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 may be a man, but my back hurts just looking at that picture.

    Give me a comfy chair if I’m going to game and drink and eat pizza.

    Also, there is a distinct lack of doggies.

    That wireless controller is a bit pointless if you’re sitting 1.5m away from the screen. Gotta give her that.

      It’s called a WaveBird!

      And you had to sit that close or else a cordless phone or other wireless device might interefere with the signal and stop registering inputs.

        Wavebird is the GOAT. Best name, best controller. Personally, I never had interference problems that couldn’t be fixed by changing the channel on the controller and even that was pretty rare.

    The only thing I have issue with is putting the greasy pizza box on the carpet.

    No reason to destroy your carpet just because you want to be minimalist.

    At least put a blanket down. Then you can just pop it in the wash.

      The pizza in general looks nasty. Too small in diameter, too much dough for the toppings, too much grease. I’ve had frozen pizza that looked better than this abomination.

        Agreed. This is your run of the mill franchise pizza. It’s all garbage imo compared to real authentic pizza.

        Sadly most people have never experienced authentic pizza because out west it’s all franchise pizza. You gotta come to the east coast for the good stuff.

          Just completely ignoring the unique beauty that is Midwest/Chicago/tavern style thin crust pizza. Or Detroit style pizza. Or any of the other various and delicious regional styles in the dozens of states between the coasts. Nope, the only pizza that exists is west coast franchises, and the ‘’‘real’‘’ stuff on the east coast.

          Open yourself up to new experiences man, the world of pizza is wide and wild, and a ton of fun if you let loose of your elitist “the only ‘’‘real’‘’ pizza is east coast pizza” schtick.

            When I go to Detroit or Chicago I’ll be enthusiastic to try it. Never said I was against it. As long as it’s a legit restaurant and not dominos or some franchise shit.

            But I am happy to shit on franchise pizza because it sucks in comparison to what you listed, or the east coast. Which is the entire point.

            Feel free to disagree. I don’t care because my taste buds know the difference.

          That makes no sense at all.

          Good pizza is just as greasy as bad pizza.

          By nature a pizza is greasy due to all of the melted cheese.

          That’s like saying a good burger isn’t greasy. Of course it’s going to be greasy.

              Good point but if you work in a pizza restaurant you’ll realize almost NO ONE orders pizza without cheese. There is the very rare order it happens but it’s extremely rare.

              So technically you are right but in practicality you are way off.

              However with a burger it’s the meat that is greasy. Not so much the cheese. So unless you’re having a non-beef burger (not really a burger) it’s going to be greasy no matter what you put on it.

                True, restaurant/delivery pizza - even vegan options - are almost universally super oily.

                Non-meat burgers are most definitely burgers, and do have the benefits of not only having more variety, but are easily made to be actually healthy if desired.

    Does anyone else get irrationally upset when people leave pizza boxes wide open like that? You’re letting all the heat escape!

    Meanwhile I have to keep everything I eat in a food warmer up until the very minute I’m about to eat it. Warm foods taste so much better when they’re hot.

        What if you drop your controller? Do you want controller in your pizza? Pizza on your controller?

        This is the same as the toilet lid conversation, isn’t it? If you’ve ever witnessed something falling in or even heard of it, for the love of god, why aren’t you keeping that closed when it’s not in use?

    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

        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

          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?
