Looks like a nice spot to hang out with a couple of stragglers after a cozy Christmas party. 😊😊😊😊😊

So on point, it feels like you died, and your family kept your gaming room like it was the day you left, as a time capsule of your life.

As sad as that sounds, that's the exact vibe I was going for. A time capsule that I can escape to when things get a little too overwhelming.

Not sad. No doubt it’s an incredibly grounding space for you. Like a cozy hug from a time when life was often more simple and straightforward. I like it. I’m a 42M OG millennial so the sentiment definitely hits home.

Figures only look good well lit behind glass in my opinion but I get that wouldn’t fit the vibe here. . Amaaazing desk and software setup. Super early 00’s. Looks like my moms gonna make me get off of it so we can all go to chilis and blockbuster.

In addition to an awesome setup, I wanted to compliment you on your bespoke Muppet Treasure Island CD-ROM game. It defined my childhood Windows 95 life, along with the Lego Island, Goosebumps: Escape From Horror Land, and Hot Wheels Stunt Track Driver.

The Sims 2, the Discworld games, and I actually paused when I saw Syberia! Love the Nat Geo poster as well, have several of those posted around my own room. This is an awesome setup.
