A heartwarming photo of a gaming setup
A Reddit user shares a heartwarming photo of their partner’s gaming setup, and the comments section is filled with both supportive and critical remarks as the community reflects on shared gaming experiences and relationships. The couple in the photo is cosplaying at PAX East, and the angle of the shot and the title of the post prompt some users to wonder about the setup shown in the picture.“This is my boyfriend’s gaming setup,” the original poster (OP) writes. “I thought it was cool and wanted to share, but I didn’t think it would generate this much discussion and debate.” The OP clarifies that the feet in the picture belong to someone other than them, and the angle of the photo is due to the angle of the camera.
The comments section fills with a mix of curious, supportive, and critical remarks. Some users are confused by the title and angle of the photo, and others quickly understand the context. Some users wonder about the clutter and organization of the gaming area, and the choice of games being played simultaneously.
“I love the cozy, lived-in, not overly organized feel to it,” one user writes. “To each their own,” another user responds, “But I can’t imagine having all those games in my home; I’d be OCD about having them alphabetized and categorized.”
Other comments touch on the choice of games being played simultaneously and the preference for playing on different screen sizes. Some popular opinions include the enjoyment of gaming side by side with a partner and the need for hydration during long gaming sessions.
There is a mix of positive and negative opinions about the quality of the games being played and the games their partner plays. Some users express their desire to have a similar gaming setup with their partners while others share stories of their own gaming experiences and the sentimental value of certain games in their relationships.
The presence of IPAs and water bottles in the photo sparks comments about responsible drinking habits. The clutter and visible wires receive both criticism and defense, and the choice of beer leads to speculation about the OP’s whereabouts.
“I really want to move in with my boyfriend so we can have this kind of setup and play games together all day,” one user writes. “I love this post,” another user responds, “I love the angle of the photo, and I don’t care about the clutter.”
“I love that this is a photo of someone’s feet and legs,” another user writes. “What is your boyfriend’s name? I’m going to have to start calling him ‘Final Fantasy XVI’ because clearly he’s not part of our reality.” The mention of Final Fantasy XVI leads to discussions about the game’s graphics and gameplay.
Overall, the post generates a mix of supportive, curious, and critical comments, but the underlying theme is a celebration of shared gaming experiences and relationships.
