OOP missed the mark on this one. This is serene. Like you moved out either for the first time or transferred to a new city and brought only the things you love before you fill your house up with trash
Ah. Triumphant beach-head phase. Legend.
Not a fan of carpet flooring but otherwise livible
Please justify your outrageous opinion
Sweeping the floor is cheaper and can be done at any hour, walking on old carpet especially kicks up dust and even after vacuuming it feels kind of gross (probably because I know it hasn’t been washed). Non-carpet floors are also easier to actually clean (or just wipe up spills etc), at least where I am where the air isn’t super-dry.
I’m with them, a throw rug would be fine so long as you can still pick it up to clean it elsewhere. Though I’d still rather just use a broom.
Also, cold floors doesn’t bother me but wearing socks/slippers instead is a nice option.
I agree with him because wooden floors with decent sized turkish rugs are preferable. You can take the rug out and beat it.
Fixed carpet is warmer, but vaguely unpleasant and makes a house feel like a hotel.
I assume it’s what you’re used to, I’d say carpeted rooms are the norm and a house with hard floors feels like a shop or a school or somewhere else where you’re still wearing your shoes.
You don’t walk on the hard floors though. You walk on rugs. It feels a lot like carpetting but looks better and is more practical.
Why pay for essentially two floor surfaces, one of which you’re covering up with the other? Seems crazy to have a load of your floor labeled as “not for using”!
carpet holds on to pollen and pet dander more than hardwood or tile. This would be my personal reasoning.
I agree with him only because I’ve seen what lives in and beneath carpet. Even fastidious folks can’t truly clean it well enough, and they definitely can’t keep the moisture from collecting beneath it.
Moisture beneath seems like something that would only happen if your house is damp anyway, right?
Or live in an area with decent humidity. I’ve helped renovate a few houses of friends, slobs and clean freaks, and they all had an incredible amount of growth beneath the padding material. The slob obviously had it worse, and you could tell where they had spilled liquids like soda.
I’ve never lived in a flat/house with carpet floors. Always tiles, wood floors, pvc, vinyl, linoleum or wood laminate. I don’t think I’ve ever visited a home with carpet flooring. The only places I know it from is hotels and videos of really old run down ruins that need to be ripped apart and renovated from the base.
It gives me the ick, I feel like they’re always dirty and dusty. Normally I’m not squeamish, but I just don’t feel comfortable on carpet flooring. I’ve grown up washing my floors wet or swiping. It just doesn’t fit into my head. However, laying a spatially limited carpet on a hard floor is beautiful.
There. I tried.
Fair reasoning! I would say you’ve missed out though, a nice (i.e. not horrible, old, and dirty) carpet is warm, cosy, and comfortable to sit on.
Stop posting pictures of my college apartment.
People mocking other peoples happiness & low environmental footprint is weak af.
HES GOT THE BONGOS
Donkey Kong Jungle Beat is amazing
My thoughts exactly! This man is living the dream!
So glad I kept my bongos.
That’s some clean carpet.
ITT: A lot of guys going “Ah man this was first days in my first apartment out on my own. Good times.”
Chocolate milk, GameCube, and me!
This is what happiness looks like.
Don’t be so harsh give the guy some time to collect enough pizza boxes f to build up
Man, I wish my life were that simple again.
That looks so fucking relaxing, like I have nothing to do for the rest of the evening, and no pressing concerns as I sip my chocolate milk.
Only thing I would change: out that TV on a milk crate so your neck isnt strained even more than it is from sitting on the floor.
But when we were young and had set ups like this we also had invincible bodies.
Or rather, what felt at the time to be invincible bodies. Now I’m at the part of life where the bill for that comes due.
I threw my back out the other day… By turning over in bed.
That was exactly my setup when I struck out on my own.
GameCube, wavebird, bongos, Twilight Princess. PS2, Guitar Hero, mod chip, case full of burned games. Single twin size mattress on the floor.
Those were the best days of my life.
I had two DVDs. Napoleon Dynamite and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
No internet, no telephone. I wanted to be creative and I didn’t want distractions. I wrote most of my songs in that little window.
Screw it. I never share my music. Here’s one of the songs I recorded.

This song slaps, did you do all the parts yourself? Are you still making music?
I really do appreciate your comment. You put this stuff together and think it won’t ever be heard, so it feels good when someone likes it.
Yeah I do. Not as much as I did then. I really appreciate the comment.
I did do all the parts, but I had originally recorded the drums on an old cheap Yamaha electric pad thing. I met someone online years ago who remastered the recording and redid the drums.
I’ve shared my music like 3 times in the last decade. I mostly just do it for me and for my people when I kick the bucket, in case they want it. I know my son does. He wants everything, even all of the hours and hours of recordings where I was trying to come up with something.
I’m really glad you like it. I’ll share a few more.

And here are a couple more recent songs.
Can you post the rest to YT? That second YT one reminds me of like a sea sick steve with grunge, shits awesome.
I think I’ll do that tonight. I haven’t posted my stuff seriously since 2010ish.
I made videos and everything but I lost them all.
Heck my mom saved two but they’re not in the quality I put them in. My ex called her and said I was deleting them so she rushed to save what she could and got those.
I was in a very bad place back then. Actually ended up being diagnosed with cannabis induced psychosis by the time it was all over.
Here are those two. I don’t care for the one where I did the ghostly images. The song could have been good but it was too long.
Thank you guys for taking interest in this stuff. I might let my brother put it all on Spotify haha. He’s been trying to get me to for a while.
Get the royalties stuff figured out and put it on Spotify. I’d love to add these to my playlist there.
I put a bunch on YouTube. I have so so so much more I need to dig out and upload.
I can’t believe I’m doing this haha.
Subscribe to my channel there and as I upload them you’ll see them.

Hell yeah man, good stuff! If you do end up putting your stuff on the streaming services, don’t forget about all the stuff you gotta do to collect royalties, this is what’s holding me back from releasing my music lol
Thank you for this.
Just coming to add a +1 on the YouTube links, I don’t download random files from mega, but I’ll listen to anything you have on YT, Spotify, or any FOSS counterparts.
Those YT links you’ve posted already sound great! This definitely would have been my exact vibe in 2010, but it’s definitely going into the car Playlist now.
Don’t be afraid of longer songs, if they’ve got focus and purpose, they’ll hold up. One of my favorite songs back in the day was 22 minutes and 20ish seconds long. Unfortunately it’s a religious Christian song (that all the old people assumed was satanic because they couldn’t be bothered to try listening to lyrics) so I don’t care for the words much anymore, but the guitar is still banger.
Been uploading while I can today. I have a ton more stuff to dig out so subscribe and you’ll know when I add more.
Thank you for liking it.
It’s been 15 years since anyone has heard a lot this stuff. Most of it was family just being nice.

I added some to YouTube. Will be adding more.
Y’all have no idea how much it means to me that people like this stuff.
I suddenly have all of this motivation to record all my newer stuff that I just sit around and play to relax.

Hell yeah these are great! I’m a particular fan of Stone to Throw, Untitled Noise 2, and Hallelujah Further Down. Special shout out to Flip-top PS3 that one’s the panty dropper. But for real I’ve enjoyed myself at shows that aren’t this good. I’m excited to have gotten to listen to your music
:p I love you haha.
I really thought I was leading the way for next gen mods when I put that together.
One other guy did it and he gave me a shoutout. :p
And for rest of your comment. Man, I wish I could tell you how you’ve made me feel with that. I really do.
Your comment and a few others here have brought me back to life, you know?
Especially yours.
Thank you!
That sure looks like my old TV. The screen was flat but cropped the edges pretty significantly, even eating into the title safe area so sometimes you couldn’t read everything that was on-screen.
I’m in my thirties so I too crave this scenario but what I really wanna talk about is the amount of people mentioning sitting on the floor hurting their back. Sedentary lifestyles and/or the constant push for more labor has wiped out something humanity has done for thousands of years.
I feel weird for fixating on this but it’s a little sad a lot of people are losing the ability to just sit on some grass and exist
It’s more the TV won’t be at eye level so you’ll naturally hunch your back which tends to be poor sitting posture.
Give me a beanbag chair and we’re in business
