you people will bitch about anything

Reposting this from the old thread because it is fucking important and you all deserve better

>Seeing people who have spent a lot of money on their computers, and peripherals to be able to get maximum enjoyment out of their hobby/passion/interests/work

>They cram all this cool shit onto tiny ancient desks.

Come on guys you are better than this. You can get a big, sturdy as fuck table top ad 4 legs from Ikea for like $/£25. Two of this would give ANYONE more desk space than they can possibly use, and would be much better than 90% of the desks in this thread.

I have a good PC I built 2 years ago but I own a cheapish (but spacious enough) IKEA Melltorp desk. Though, the only things I keep on here are a normal-sized mousepad, keyboard and monitor. I want to buy something but I don't know what and I lurk /bst/ everyday for inspiration

What do you do with it that you need more sturdiness? Maybe get one with 4 corner legs instead?

When I type my monitor moves very slightly, and it really isn't the most sturdy thing ever. Ikea is cool because it's nice but the stuff they have is absolute fucking shit. (A lot of it)
I want a nice & sturdy hard wood table. They are expensive as fuck though!

Cheers, I'm very happy with how it turned out. It's the first work of art that really grabbed me, so I was stoked as hell when I learned that the original artist was selling reproductions (also in oil paint of it. https://afremov.com/

The right lamp is this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012TH34DQ/

I really like your figures. I had that Madoka a while ago, but the paint started to get really ugly, and was probably a cheap bootleg I found on a local store. Never bought shit that wasn't straight from Japan after that. The real one looks nice though.

Nice. I haven't rewatched TTGL in a while, but I should. Makes me miss old Gainax.

>>58625573
You should. I thoroughly enjoy it every time and even now sometimes pick up some new details.
And the music, hnnng. That field of despair scene where he rises up out of it and the opera-rap song peaks, goddamn it gives me goosebumps and makes me cry every single time.

>>58625411
Do they have any solid wood tables?

>>58625573

How's the Xbox One treating you? I sold mines like a year or so ago and I kinda miss it. They are dirt fucking cheap now so I have considered getting one.
I just don't feel like paying $60 for games anymore.. Since I barely like them anyways.

QcK XXL

>>58632724
Just look for XL mousepads or similar names. There are lots of different ones from Steelseries, Razer, Cooler Master, Corsair, etc. Just get the one you like the design the most, or even get a custom chink one on AliExpress with any picture you want for $15.

>Love the painting. You don't really need anything else, it's so intense that it just works as is... is there anywhere to get it, kinda want one.
He sells lots, and relatively cheap too: http://afremov.com/
I absolutely love it. Any idle moment I find myself staring at it. 'Just' a repro, but by the original artist, the first work of art that really made me -feel- 'this is art'. First time I saw it felt pretty much as if I got punched in the gut, so much emotion from it.

That one in particular is called 'Misty Park' btw. There's a few with the same name and similar setting, but you can't miss it.

/BST/, explain yourselves.

>>58636429
/bst/ is a hobby. Not a fucking job.
Simple as that.

Because I'm not clever enough to code. Sure, I "work in IT", but I sit in a service desk fixing fucking Excel macros and shit... basically I'm a glorified secretary. I guess I kinda view tech as part of interior decorating a bit? Make of that what you will.

I don't agree that my Model M is a meme though, I love it and it's a family heriloom for christ's sake.

there is a difference between work and a hobby. My work station is literally my surfacepro and my main desktop is a hobby.

>How are you enjoying your new setup my friend?
Pretty good bro. I want to somewhat work on that other desk that I have in my room.
I want to dedicate it for working on little projects and shit. Only issue is that my printer is big as fuck and takes up a bunch of space.
Also excited for my laptop to arrive.

How's the moving stuff and shit going for ya bud?

Switching to Linux

>>58636429
How is any of that relevant? I buy that stuff because I like it, not because I think it's going to make me more productive or whatever.

There's a difference between a workstation and what you call a "battlestation". Most of the people who post here thinks they know how computers work because they found the very cool sekrit /g/ board and have just swallowed the "wow the thinkpad is good i can swap the ram, keyboard and harddrive thats so modular dude!! ur call apple o i mean shitpple lol! wow linux thats cool wow open source is so awesome even though my hardware is non-free microsoft (more like micro$oft amarite) and apple sucks lol"-pill that's been passed on by generations ever since /g/uru was a thing. I bet 90% of the people who post here never wrote a single line of code and just thinks they're "leet" because they just installed arch on a 10 year old stinkpad. /g/ is just consumerism, if you're looking for actual programming, or in depth computing you're probably better off posting on leddit.

Stay on this thread anons, dunno why anon made a new one.
