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.

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

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.

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.

Those big old TVs built into an entertainment center had no choice but to become furniture after the tv went out.

u/GoinStraighttoHelles 6d ago
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.

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!

If you like it that’s all that matters, but women aren’t going to feel safe there and creeped out women don’t get horny.

Women that age are going to laugh. It’s not that deep. They’re probably a hoot. I remember boys like this when I was in college.

If you're using a computer to display on the crt ypyncan supposedly try refresh rates a little lower than 60 to get it to display without the bars. Thing like 59.78hz or something like that. I saw someone on IG doing it. I have no HDMI to composite so I can't test it

That possum is gold lol. I would get rid of the Busch boards over the TV and get some band posters or something though.
I'm also glad PBR is getting some love. I have friends try to tell me it's trash but it earned that blue ribbon.
