Is that Downtown Buffalo? I went to UB for college at century's turn but back then, very few people would willingly live down there. Was there for a wedding a few years ago and it seems like things picked up a bit since then.

Yep! Huge turnaround these past five years. A lot to do. Night & day difference from the '90s and 2000s as you've pretty much mentioned. Big reason why I'm still in Buffalo. I went to UB too and originally planned on moving to another city after graduating almost a decade ago.

My setup. Nothing matches, but it's comfy. Pretty much all of the drawers are full of games or movies. Also have more games and movies in the closet. I don't use the PCs in the back of the room anymore, so the desk is just full of DC figures. Window is blocked out to keep reflections and stuff off of the TVs. I made the shelf for games in like an hour or so myself for like $20 or less by buying some stuff from The Home Depot.

This is awesome, I might give it a go. I'm using a walnut countertop for a desktop and the metal wire cable management... thing... I've got sucks. Haven't been able to find a solution I've loved enough to put more holes in it just yet though.
Also, what's that guitar between the LP Custom and PRS?
Thank you 😊
Martmyte busted me. lol
It's the Besta Burs but I hacked it and added wood doors. Console stays fine in the cubby. I even keep the switch+dock in the cabinet while playing.
I only recognised it cause I'm on the verge of buying one myself for my new place! haha. Love what you did with it, I see you've left one of your doors off.. I don't suppose you know the height of one of those 3 draws by any chance? I can't find the measurements anywhere.

Def give it a go! I had a metall harness before and it sucked major balls compared to this.
The gold one is a Nick Huber krautster II.
Edit: walnut countertop buddy's! :)
Here's my very cramped setup from my tiny single room flat, I'm mostly posting this for posterity's sake as I'm moving to a proper flat with actual discreet rooms this summer so here's what I could fit in here:
Not pictured: Bathroom, bed, front door... that's it
PC setup (with bonus SNES Mini)
Main console setup: LG 49UH610V LED TV, Sony SA-CT60BT soundbar, Nintendo Switch, PS2/3/4 Pro, Xbox One and ...uhh Xbox 1, Chromecast Ultra in the back
Old skool setup: Cheapo TV and VCR from a thrift store, my old Creative PC speakers, N64, Gamecube, PS2 slim (90004), PS1, Dreamcast, Mega Drive II, Wii
My handheld collection: Neo Geo Pocker Colour (dead screen unfortunately) DS Lite, GBA SP, GBA, Gameboy Colour, 3DS XL, PSP 1004
My haphazard media shelf, I can barely fit more stuff in here so I can't wait to get more space to put up shelves in the new flat.
Bonus pic: The miserable weather here in Kópavogur, at least the wind's died down.

Did you try any other strap buttons before settling on the LOXX for any reason in particular. Might do a test run, but I've only got a bunch of spare stock buttons and Schaller stuff on hand.
Shouldn't have asked about the the guitar. Shouldn't have looked closely at the the guitar. Shouldn't, but will send a PM about the guitar.
We made a few decor updates since last time, adding some wall art, bookshelves, and more blankets and pillows.
The lights are dimmable and rear surrounds are in-ceiling to save space.

Love the tv but you get bonus points for watching The Expanse.
The Loxx are the best for this because they work the best by just pulling them. Schaller would not work since they need a particular orientation to open.
Thanks. I'm only a couple episodes in, but I like the sci-fi-ness of it so far.
Its a flawed series but it's well acted. Keep an eye on the technology they came up with like the smartphone analog etc. Pretty cool yet plausible stuff.
Anyway ... back to gaming setups!

Thanks. We started off with a little too much dark blue and gray, and wanted to add some interesting colors. My favorite thing is how cozy it is.
I finished a partial renovation to my basement, mainly just my one wall. This was my previous setup (55" LG B6):
This is after the partial renovation (TV is a Samsung Q90 75"):
This picture is of the custom shelves I made. They are pretty useless since the logos get covered, but I know they are there:
I got really tired of scrambling to find batteries when I had friends over, so I picked up four charge stands:
This wall has a storage room behind it, so I was able to run all the cords through the wall (except for the controllers, I had to run a wire cover):
I have a couple glass shelves for some gaming & metal items I've collected:
This is the wall of couches, and various metal concert pictures:
This is the part of the room for the kids:
The only thing I have left to do is run some LED lighting under the shelves, and make a shelf for my Elite 2 controller. I'm really happy with how it turned out.

Super sleek. Damn good set up Sir.Return of one of my favourite threads. My set-up is basically same as last year although I may be moving in next 6-8 months. I have 55" Sony A1E OLED, with PS4 Pro connected to it. In addition a Sony HTCT290 sound bar and Amazon Alexa.
HOLY man. I wanted to post mine but after this, I don't think I will. That some excellent minimalist gaming setup.
Welcome to the annual Post Your Gaming Setup thread. A tradition started over 10 years ago - from one legacy forum to the next. Post your gaming setups, living rooms, game collections, office setups, PC setups, furniture choices, any other home designs, and portable setups. This thread can be used for anything you want to post related to where you game or where you live. It's essentially ResetEra Cribs edition. Brag and compliment - no negative statements around someone's setup unless they are asking for critical feedback.
Here is my setup as of Jan 2020. A quick note, the reflection is easily removed when I click the button to bring down the blinds. I took the first 3 photos using the new wide angle option on my iPhone so some aspects may look a bit stretched.

I haven't posted in ages. Much hasn't changed since 2013, besides new consoles and such.

Nintendo Switch
PS4 Pro
Nintendo Wii (modded)
Xbox One S (all digital version)
Wii U and PS3 (60 GB phat) not shown
I have a lot of posters and art prints. Figurines, amiibos, props and a fucking shit load of art books. I need more shelves for them.

Great setup. Good overall space and cosy. Slim table eh. That is different.

All you guys have some beautiful sofas, I'm on the market for a sofa and only see ugly ones for sale.

American psycho indeed. :)
beautiful apartment!
I see you have the Retro Fighters Brawler 64 controller. I've been tempted to get one. I read that the analog stick can be overly sensitive. What do you think of it?Old skool setup: Cheapo TV and VCR from a thrift store, my old Creative PC speakers, N64, Gamecube, PS2 slim (90004), PS1, Dreamcast, Mega Drive II, Wii
some pics of my current setup with some christmas mood, dog wanted to be on most of the pictures :)
The best setup on the thread, as far as I'm concerned. Love the cozy feeling, the old wood pillars, the white door with a hole and black hinges, The kitchen table, the TV shelf, and the floors. Yeah, I could definitely live there.
It's been a while since I've used a original N64 controller with a fresh, new analogue stick, my original one is pretty wobbly at this point. The only time I've thought it was maybe not as good was in Mario 64 when trying to execute the quick jump turn but then again it might have just been that way on the original one as well.
The controller layout, stick comfort and durability is far better imo, I would absolutely recommend it, at least as a second controller, especially if you want to play Mario Party without risking injury.
thank you so much! I love to live here, it is an very old house built 1613 (in germany) it is small, no wall is even, but it is very cozy :)
The TV shelf in particular was nice. Did you make it yourself?
Huh, that's older than I expected. I live in an apartment, in a building that was built in 1934, in Helsinki/Finland, and I love the old design; the style of doors, windows and batteries, wood/stone floors, large windows, and the room height.
Sorry in advance for the inconsistencies in lighting and image quality:
Also, for those of you who collect SW figures, is there anything that's a step above the Black Series? The only thing I can think of is SH Figuarts but they generally seem harder to come by and don't have as many characters. It seems like the Black Series is the most popular line, quality, price, availability, and all other factors considered. Wouldn't mind adding a few stormtrooper figurines throughout my setup.
Love the A5s!
Don't know if it's already been mentioned, but the Star Wars Kotobukiya stuff is a good in between of the Black Series and the previously mentioned SideShow collectibles. 1/10 scale so usually between 6-8 inches depending on who the figure is of.
Here i spend my holidays:
This looks awesome! Is that a bean bag type chair for gaming in front of the TV? I've been looking for something like this for a long time!
Would you be able to tell me the name/brand you picked it up from? It looks super comfy!
Thanks. Compared to the Black Series, MAFEX, and Bandai, I think Kotobukiya is the closest to what I was looking for. I really like the 1/10 scale, and the fact that the ArtFX figures come with magnetic stands. The Black Series are nice but to me they're often hit or miss, depending on the character, and the quality (while good) still reminds me of a toy.

What are the light cubes?! I want this ambiance, makes the space look super snug
Took these down the other day, but I updated my setup by swapping out some pieces and making thing look overall better.
I won't lie, this looks sorta "lived in" in some of the wrong ways...but if I were your neighbour I'd be over every goddamn day with snacks and ready to coop literally every coop game.
Thank you! I must have just missed that when I was reading through the thread.
