What did you do, anon?

>>5692473
Comfy game room.

>>5692483
I have the same model tv, did you ever have any problems with it?

it's a worms armageddon kind of night

>>5693482

>>5692473
looks like you've got quite the comfy set up man, I love the aquarium next to the CRT,
I recently beat mario 64 for the first time using a near mint jungle green controller, it was a good time

>>5693436
>I thought that iguana was an hdtv
Why? Iguanas look nothing like HDTVs. I thought it was an LCD as well. And I really hope it's not an iguana. They make great pets and there's no reason to keep them locked up. Especially in a box like that doesn't work for any kind of iguana.

Never knew dogs browsed /vr/, cool.

Who's a good anon? You are, op.

>>5693858
Amazing how all the anons ITT got their shelves to sit still for the picture isn't it? You sound very upset that everyone prefers other peoples staged Instagram pics to your staged Instagram pics. What do you people call it, seething?

>>5693858

Sorry nobody responded to your setup. Maybe next time sport.

I really dig the way you did the floors. Really gives the room a comfy and inviting vibe.

>>5693927
You forgot the adams apple and 5 oclock shadow

>>5692473
Too comfy
>>5692483
Also extremely comfy, perfect little space for gaming. I’d love to have a tiny room just for that. Neat and organized and out of the way, which was my idea for putting all my stuff in the closet.

>>5693995

>>5693858
Lol you mad I have a photogenic dog who happens to me an extremely good boy?
>>5693948

I’m actually Muslim friend. Yeah the dog lives inside the house but he doesn’t go into the rooms we pray. As long as you do ablution before touching him you’re good.

>>5693669
Never had any problems, got it for free on Craigslist a year ago.

Amazing how an otherwise mediocre set-up with only the one console ends up being so eye-grabbing by the introduction of prime doggo.

>>5694385

>>5693765
I used to buy weed from and sell satellite equipment to a guy who had a free roaming pet iguana. It peed down his register. He had hip displasia from his dad being exposed to agent orange in Vietnam so he been on generous social security his whole life.

>>5694418
It was probably stoned. Iguanas can easily be trained to use a litter box.

>>5693753
Felis catus is your taxonomic nomenclature.
An endothermic quadruped, carnivorous by nature.
Your visual, olfactory, and auditory senses
Contribute to your hunting skill and natural defences.
I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations.
A singular development of cat communications
That obviates your basic hedonistic predilection,
For a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection.
A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents.
You would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance.
And when not being utilised to aid in locomotion
It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotions.
Oh, Spot, the complex levels of behaviour you display
Connote a fairly well developed cognitive array.
And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend
I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.

>>5694380
I’m not situated across the room, I have a chair I pull up right to the closet. Tv size doesn’t need to be larger

I sold all my retro and crt a while back, we didn't have the storage space for it and it was frankly pretty cumbersome. I thought I'd never say this but being a casual now feels great.

My setup isn't very aesthetic, unfortunately, just a whole bunch of shit crammed into a room. A glorified closet, if you will.

>>5694574
I'm Serbian, wanna come over and play retro vidya sometimes?

>>5695148
KEKED BY HIS WIFE HAHAHAHHAHA
(My girlfriend is starting to complain about the amount of consoles I have and wants me to dump it someplace else h-ha)

>>5693927
>clock never moves

>>5695335
I agreed to put all my stuff in storage except for 2 consoles and a handful of games for a while, but i started to realize having all of my shit out was dominating the space. When the SNES Classic came out I told her I'd be okay with just that and get rid of my collections except Dreamcast, I also bought a Wii U and hacked it. I'm tempted to buy a PS3 and hack it and I know I'm gonna buy the Genesis Mini, and most likely the Turbo Graffix 16 Mini because those were a part of my childhood. My handheld is an old GBA Micro and I'm considering selling that (because prices are absurd) and buying a 2DS. I'll probably buy the DS first and decide if I'm okay with the controls. I once hated using anything other than original hardware, but now I don't mind so much.

>>5695357
I'm doing the same thing and bought a bunch of those mini consoles too.
It's not expensive and I don't see the point in collecting fragile devices anymore, especially when obtaining games for them is so expensive, and the inflated prices for everdrives. I'm also getting the Genesis and the Turbo Grafix, pretty excited about those because I never owned them, I'm from 93.

Surprisingly my girlfriend is pretty cool about collecting, she started collecting PS2 games and bought her own PS2 recently, so I've infected her a little.
She wants me to buy a CRT but I don't really see the need to except for maybe better output for my N64 and PS2.

>>5692473
A dog.

>>5695435
>She wants me to buy a CRT but I don't really see the need
You don't deserve your imaginary girlfriend

>>5695435
For n64 (why all the hate I can't understand it) you could get the retrotink plus high quality s cables upscales to 480p which looks good on most HDTVs while still have the right color saturation and keep it looking authentic also completely removes input delay

How can you use that Amiga in that position? There's nowhere to sit where you can access it, except maybe the arm of the couch which would be extremely uncomfortable.

I'm convinced you don't actually use these things and just turned them on for the picture.

>>5703851
You can see the mouse in the little cubby by the armrest. I sit toward the middle of the couch to extend my arm, keyboard in my lap if I need it. If I just need the joystick i can lay down if i want to. It's my most used system right now, i beat defender of the crown a few weeks ago, and I've been playing sim city and marble madness recently. Played a couple of games of golden pyramid with my wife the other day too. I did turn them on for the picture though, I wasn't playing defender of the crown and Layla at the exact same time. You caught me, you super sleuth, you.

>>5700690
I have that exact TV, nice

>>5693947
>cube shelves
Make it stop.

>>5701239
Whatever makes you feel better about yourself, buddy.

>>5695335
When we moved in together, my wife legit expected me to put my CRT and old consoles in the living room and she was 100% okay with it. The house has a wood-paneled sunroom just off the living room, which I kind of thought was more cozy, so I made a little CRT nook out there instead. The best part is that her favorite chair is just outside the door to the left, so we can still enjoy eachother's company while we're doing our own thing. Last Summer just after we moved in, she was playing Octopath Traveler while I was playing Grandia. Good fuckin' times.

I need to take a new pic. I expanded this setup recently and added a subwoofer and bigger speakers.

>>5695148
Meh at least you're 4:3, enjoy your games, still a comfy setup.

>>5704724
I always like this setup, updated pics would be cool.

>>5704790
Thanks! I always appreciate kind words about my soiboystation.

I think it's attained "final form", for now, mostly because I have no more room to cram anything. The speaker/subwoofer upgrade was mostly because I recently added a turntable, out of frame to the right, but Genesis/Mega Drive shit sounds particularly boss through a powerful sound system like this.

I dont like them either but they were free and available. I plan to replace them with a hardwood bookshelf

Jesus, thank god for HDTV's matte finish.

>>5705890
Nah it would drive me crazy to pull a game out and then move the whole stack to put it back

>>5705541
That tower of Sony is unparalleled. Those speakers are also incredible. Wish I had the room for them on my entertainment center. Such a nice set up.

My setup isn't too far off, but I play a lot of multiplayer with friends, so my PVM will be replaced by a 32" JVC D-Series soon enough.

>>5705841
There's some free piles of chocolate on the sidewalk. They taste like dog shit and, well, they are dog shit, but they're free.

Just set this up, any advice? I know the shit in bottom middle is a mess

>>5706186
what is even going on here?
what do you play on that dell monitor?
do you play standing up?
why is the pc facing the wrong way?

>>5706189
everything on monitor, its a good size I feel
chairs out of shot
pc, not sure what to do with it yet

>>5706186
Turn the PC frontwards and stuff the power strip behind it so it's not visible
Or turn the PC sideways if it looks nicer.

>>5706237
got it, thanks

>>5706186
Try harder not to embarrass youself

>>5706149
Thanks! I've always liked your setup, classy as fuck. I actually wouldn't mind a better shot of your stash to the right. Your shelving game is on point. Custom built?

>>5706186
This might be the absolute worst battlestation I've ever seen. Sometimes the really dumpy ones are at least comically bad, but this is just depressing. 0/10, get your fucking life in order, anon.

My consoles haven't turned beige, but my power strip looks like a fucking urinal cake at this point.

>>5693716
So you're not aligned with your flatscreen and you're not aligned with your crt. This setup sucks.
>>5692483
I do like how bare this setup looked. It's like you're entering a kill room to play vidya

>>5704724
>>5705541
Some days I miss my BVM other days I'm completely content with nto having to sit 2 feet away from it to see everything. 20 inches on a screen is just too damn small. I think more than anything I liked the aesthetic. Picture was good but I get a great picture out of my 36inch and I can't actually play it from anywhere in my room

>>5706843
It works for me, its not finishes by any means, and I have alot of room for expansion.

>>5707015
I hear you. I think the one thing I miss having a bigger set for is non-retro stuff. 6th gen RPGs on the PS2/Gamecube really benefit from the added screen real-estate. I'm very glad I played DQVIII while I still had my 32" JVC.

I never even took any pictures of that battlestation because that was years before /vr/ was a thing and battlestation threads made me think it was cool to share pictures of my electronic refuse with strangers.

>>5706623
Thank you! Here's how it looks now. And nope, just a cheap shelf off Amazon. I'm very much out of room though, and definitely need another. Hopefully I can get rid of that closet to the right.

>>5706186
after some thought I think you should ditch the idea of using that shelf as the place to put your display. Something about it is just uncomfortable and not pleasing to the eyes. What I would do instead is put the actual set up somewhere else and just use this as shelf space

>>5706186
Get some bins out all your games in them. Do some shitty cable management by hiding your cables behind the back panels of your closet or whatever that is. Try lowering the tv a peg or two otherwise you're going to be straining your neck like a fucking psycho it's uncomfortable just looking at it. Other than that there's not much else you can do with it

>>5707165
>>5707151
I dont think the photo really helps.
The monitor is at eye levvel with the chairs I have and its kinda an enclosed space there is a wall to the right as well.

Its obvious I have alot of cable management to work through but these shelves are ideal. I can adjust them to any height and the open up in the back for cables

>>5707165
What do you mean "get some bins"?
pack away the games while I have room to display them

>>5707202
Like I said get a big bin to store al your games inside of and put neatly on shelf

>>5707202
I suggest that you try taking a photo with a better angle and lighting then so we can properly give you advice. A bad photo can indeed make a decent set up look much worse.

>>5705541
Nice setup, I think having a VHS on top of your crt may hurt it though, im not sure im no expert.

>>5707287
You must be young. We stacked them up there all the time back in the day

>>5707203
yea pack them away to free up space on your shelves so that you can more neatly organize game consoles.

>>5708193
Yeah. It's the best way to get that authentic "VHS aesthetic" of grainy video with bad sync. Without all those heat and EM changes the tapes would just look like broadcast picked up on rabbit ears.

>>5708578
Confirmed moron. PVMs are magnetically shielded and don't create their own magnetic field in the first place. And the vents are in the back. If you have a CRT that gets hot enough to give off an aura of warmth, you should probably take it to someone who actually knows something about electronics, you dumb zoomer.

If /vr/ were a board about cycling, it would just be a bunch of retards who have never ridden a bike trying to explain how they think putting your feet on the pedals would damage them.

>>5708979
Thanks for stopping in to project summerfag

>>5707204
>big bin
I've been using these little boxes from "Snap n' Store" to hold my games for years. They're pretty cheap on amazon, and they come in all kinds of sizes. The CD-size boxes come in single and double-wide and will fit NES games and jewel cases perfectly. The index card boxes come in sizes that will fit Genesis, N64 and SNES games, although they're a bit smaller overall. And their DVD boxes will fit PS2 and Gamecube games and the like. They're pretty cheap on amazon and look a lot nicer than most bins.

If your shelving is properly sized to fit your games like >>5707072, then I don't think bins are necessary, but otherwise I find them quite convenient and nicer-looking.

>>5708578
>bad sync
You literally don't know what you're talking about, do you? You just heard some words about old CRTs and decided to try and use them. Nice try, junior.

>>5709064
>I literally don't know what I'm talking about. I've heard some words about old CRTs but don't know how to use them. I'll try to call someone junior and hope it fools anyone into thinking I'm not a retarded zoomer

>>5709295
VCRs never had bad "sync", you fucking tool. You're probably trying to think of "tracking".

>>5709341
They did and it was such a problem that they made special devices to fix it. A lot of broadcast equipment wouldn't even try to deal with a signal off tape unless you ran it through one of those. You have no idea how funny it is to sit here reading the rants of a retarded fuck who's completely convinced he's right and doesn't have the slightest clue how ignorant he actually is. Keep it up. This is going to be fun.

>>5709706
>Keep it up. This is going to be fun.
If bickering about your baseless opinion on the ground of trying to win upvotes on 4chan is "fun"... The fact that you are dumb enough to think a CRT generates a magnetic field outside of its tube, or that it radiates enough heat to damage other electronic devices, designed specifically to work in close proximity already proves you're not bright. VHS sync is never an issue with entirely analog setups, and even then only with extreme wear or damage, and that's literally what the tracking control is for you dolt. Any VCR in professional broadcast use would have been a high end model with one of those "special devices" you mention already built in. You're trying to reach to an absolute extreme scenario to back up your stupid claim that you probably saw on reddit or after reading a single wikipedia page. The point you're trying to make is like saying, "Good luck driving that car! You'd need some kind of braking system to keep from killing yourself!"

The vintage SONY audio stuff is cool, although I was always partial to the Pioneers and Harmon/Kardons of the day.
The wood paneling on the Pioneers was so damn classy, and the H/Ks had the coolest back-lit panels ever.
My favorite retroshit ever was 70's Bang & Olufsen, but that's an entirely different orbit.
Still, some nice stuff in there.

>>5706904
>wires fucking everywhere
for the love of god clean this shit up brah
>PALfag
nvm

>>5715727
Yeah, Pioneer was definitely a pretty big name. I was always a fan of Marantz and Nikko, because my parents had this amazing Nikko stereo system that they had bought with their wedding gift money. I remember the day I figured out how to hook my video games up to that and it was glorious.

I only went with all Sony because the monitor was free from an editing company near where I work, and I already had the Sony speakers, and then a really great Sony amp turned up at a churh fair rummage sale, so I thought it would be cool to make everything match. There's some really amazing Sony stuff out there that flies under the radar of most audiophiles because Sony has a reputation for cheap consumer shit, but back in the late 70s and 80s they flirted with greatness on more than a few occasions. I'm completely impressed with the automatic turntable I nabbed. Almost 40 years old and it's been more reliable than any I've ever had.

>>5715727
I really want to get into vintage audio equipment, but I don't know a whole lot about it desu. Need to do a lot of research first.
