    I may be a man, but my back hurts just looking at that picture.

    Give me a comfy chair if I’m going to game and drink and eat pizza.

    Also, there is a distinct lack of doggies.

      That’s what it was. I was wondering why it looked odd. The carpet is too clean. They must have just moved in. There should be dog hair in it.

    That’s not how men live, that’s how teenagers live. The place lacks a woodworking bench, a 3D printer farm, a chef knife wall with an industrial wok burner, and a rack of mountain bikes. Also not a single cat in the picture, savages…

    Does anyone else get irrationally upset when people leave pizza boxes wide open like that? You’re letting all the heat escape!

    Meanwhile I have to keep everything I eat in a food warmer up until the very minute I’m about to eat it. Warm foods taste so much better when they’re hot.

        What if you drop your controller? Do you want controller in your pizza? Pizza on your controller?

        This is the same as the toilet lid conversation, isn’t it? If you’ve ever witnessed something falling in or even heard of it, for the love of god, why aren’t you keeping that closed when it’s not in use?

          Well that’s where the food warmer comes into play. If you don’t have one, then you can use the oven or toaster oven (set it to 140°F if it’ll go that low). Take out one portion at a time and the rest will stay warm until you’re ready to eat it. You can even add a small bowl of water to the bottom of the oven to help keep the food from drying out.

    The only problem with that setup is the grease from the pizza box getting on the carpet.

    Balance it precariously on top of a too-small box, you heathen.

        I remember reading that Nintendo designed the SNES with a hump to help prevent people from setting food and drinks on it since the NES made a great table for things to spill on. Guess they gave up when they designed the Gamecube!

          First design decision was probably to improve the design, second one was when they realized that the bad design made more money when people needed to replace consoles.

          I was going to say maybe it’s because you can stack flat consoles and a lot of entertainment stands are easier to access the front from than the top, but you still had to access the top of the flat GCN.

    The only thing I have issue with is putting the greasy pizza box on the carpet.

    No reason to destroy your carpet just because you want to be minimalist.

    At least put a blanket down. Then you can just pop it in the wash.

        I can’t disagree with you there.

        Perhaps this gentleman decided he didn’t want carpets anymore and doesn’t care what happens to them until the day comes to rip them out.

        However my guess is he never even thought that far ahead.

          That makes no sense at all.

          Good pizza is just as greasy as bad pizza.

          By nature a pizza is greasy due to all of the melted cheese.

          That’s like saying a good burger isn’t greasy. Of course it’s going to be greasy.

            I’ve had good cheesy pizzas that have less grease. If you pick up the pizza and the bottom of the box is damp it’s too greasy.

              What do you consider “good” pizza?

              I’ve made a lot of pizza in my day and it’s damn near impossible to avoid grease.

              It comes from the pepperoni and cheese and anything else fatty that you top it with.

              Are you saying good pizza is made with ingredients that don’t have fatty grease? You’d have to use low fat cheese, etc. To me that isn’t “good” pizza.

              As for pizzas I get from restaurants I’ve never had one that didn’t have at least some grease in the pizza box. This is coming from someone that lives in the NY area where pretty much all pizza there is gourmet authentic pizza and not franchise pizza like dominos.

              I think our definitions of good pizza are way different.

              Good pizza should have some grease to it, otherwise the ingredients are questionable.

              Good point but if you work in a pizza restaurant you’ll realize almost NO ONE orders pizza without cheese. There is the very rare order it happens but it’s extremely rare.

              So technically you are right but in practicality you are way off.

              However with a burger it’s the meat that is greasy. Not so much the cheese. So unless you’re having a non-beef burger (not really a burger) it’s going to be greasy no matter what you put on it.

                True, restaurant/delivery pizza - even vegan options - are almost universally super oily.

                Non-meat burgers are most definitely burgers, and do have the benefits of not only having more variety, but are easily made to be actually healthy if desired.

        Agreed. This is your run of the mill franchise pizza. It’s all garbage imo compared to real authentic pizza.

        Sadly most people have never experienced authentic pizza because out west it’s all franchise pizza. You gotta come to the east coast for the good stuff.

          Just completely ignoring the unique beauty that is Midwest/Chicago/tavern style thin crust pizza. Or Detroit style pizza. Or any of the other various and delicious regional styles in the dozens of states between the coasts. Nope, the only pizza that exists is west coast franchises, and the ‘’‘real’‘’ stuff on the east coast.

          Open yourself up to new experiences man, the world of pizza is wide and wild, and a ton of fun if you let loose of your elitist “the only ‘’‘real’‘’ pizza is east coast pizza” schtick.

            When I go to Detroit or Chicago I’ll be enthusiastic to try it. Never said I was against it. As long as it’s a legit restaurant and not dominos or some franchise shit.

            But I am happy to shit on franchise pizza because it sucks in comparison to what you listed, or the east coast. Which is the entire point.

            Feel free to disagree. I don’t care because my taste buds know the difference.

          TBF you can still use the optical port.

          Like I said to the person who started this conversation, why even bother with more than one HDMI port? Once you hook up a PC, literally all the games and media you could ever want to consume is available to you. Hell, if you don’t game and don’t need a PC for office work, you could get away with just the TV alone.

          Not saying that TV manufacturers should start removing ports; just making a point.
