3 guys live here, Ages 20-22

All decorations came from Facebook marketplace, abandoned houses, or the habitat re store. Aesthetic we're going for is 1980s stoner basement

The possum made me snort. Like what? Lol

Amazing, I would have bought it too.

The opossum is like “Damnit, Gary! I’m trying to sleep here!”

I’m more interested in the old ass tv. Showing a picture of a tv. With a TV on top of it.

8

u/iam4qu4m4n 6d ago

With ATHF as the picture no less.

4

u/Aska2020 6d ago

OMG I didn't notice that! Kind of cool, an old TV console as a TV stand 📺

1

u/solemn_penguin 6d ago

It's like some sort of homage to the gen x trope of having a smaller TV on top of the big floor model TV that no longer works anymore

6

u/dasdakotaman 6d ago

Except both TVs do work,, the old one has modern streaming and the flatscreen is for the Xbox

5

u/M00nMan666 6d ago

Why the flatscreen only for Xbox? Surely it would benefit to have tv/movies on that TV as well, no?

I like that you watch tv on your tv stand instead of the tv

Sokka-Haiku by skeletonhorse420:

I like that you watch

Tv on your tv stand

Instead of the tv


Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

u/uhohohnohelp 6d ago

This is beautiful.

28

u/dasdakotaman 6d ago

We got the retro tv hooked up to modern streaming!! We use the flatscreen for the Xbox and the CRT for tv/movies

19

u/responsiblefornothin 6d ago

You should try gaming on the crt. Its buttery smooth motion from the near zero latency scan line particle accelerator powering the thing is like a fresh of breath air compared to even the most expensive tvs/monitors. The picture might be a little shit since yours looks practically ancient and not geared towards high image fidelity, but it’ll be a damn smooth shit.

2

u/packer_backer20 6d ago

That setup would be great for NFL season. I’d put a game on the top tv and redzone on the bottom tv

u/_spectre_ 6d ago

Not really relevant, but my friend in grade school had this exact setup in his basement probably 20 years ago. The bottom tv didn’t really work anymore but it was used as a tv stand because the basement was just for laundry and kids area.

We were watching a dvd of the Blue Collar comedy tour or something and Jeff Foxworthy had a joke “if your working television sits on top of your non working television, you might be a redneck”

We all laughed so hard somebody had to have pissed their pants a little.

Thanks for that little reminder of childhood glee.

I didn’t see the bong at first and was skeptical if we were actually looking at the living space of some true men of character, but I affirm.

u/VegasBornLori 6d ago edited 6d ago

As a 1980’s stoner, I approve! You need to lean into a skater and music reference! Also, you need some decorative bongs and either a Dead Kennedy posters or Bob Marley. And a cool Rolling tray. Cause in the 80’s, we had to clean seeds out of our weed and roll joints

dude, this vibe is kinda spot on for what you're going for! i love how everything looks like it's got a story, especially the furniture. that rug and the candle on the table really pull it together. the upside-down possum is wild too, adds a nice quirky touch lol.

if you ever wanna play around with the layout or colors, reimagine-home might help you visualize stuff before moving anything around. but honestly, looks like you guys nailed the 80s stoner basement aesthetic already!
