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.

A too-small box such as the GameCube.

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 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’s what it was. I was wondering why it looked odd. The carpet is too clean. They must have just moved in. There should be dog hair in it.

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.

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.

The “one miserable douchebag” in this scenario is I assume the target of this particular brand of bullying? I somehow doubt that a lack of motherly affection is the root cause…

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.

I would argue there is no sane reason to have wall to wall carpeting in the first place in most situations especially if you have pets.

I can’t disagree with you there.

Perhaps this gentleman decided he didn’t want carpets anymore and doesn’t care what happens to them until the day comes to rip them out.

However my guess is he never even thought that far ahead.

Oohhhhh ya. That’s why you can’t recycle pizza boxes. They soak up grease.

Take a look at the bottom of a pizza box next time you order pizza.

I never order pizza. I’m a healthy person with six-pack abs but dangit my doctor told me yesterday a recent breast biopsy came back malignant so I have to get surgery next week 😭, So we can all try our damndest to be healthy, but cancer doesn’t discriminate.

This is going to sound obvious but that depends on how greasy the pizza is. It can happen.

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.

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.

You really don’t. You can get all kinds of regional cuisines outside the regions they originated and became popular, pizza styles being perhaps the most ubiquitous.

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.
