From the dregs of r/malelivingspace

Not really bashing the collection of figures. It’s good to have a hobby and building models is rewarding for some. Vidya games is something everyone loves. Consuming slop is what we all do, so no issues with the slop-center either. Just. The lights. Everything that isn’t a toy is grey. The suspicious of a kitchen or bathroom in the supposed highlight of his home. Slop me up buttercup.

    Funny I got the vibe from the room with the figures and the table that it was a place for building models and stuff. Legit the only place where I understood the harsh lights, even though I still would have chosen differently myself. I guess it’s because I’m personally trying to cut back on media, so I don’t view it too favourably.
    Or maybe it’s because the rooms I didn’t include felt purposeless, which to me means they usually have some hobby purpose, so I just sort of assume they’re for something when I see them. Because who just has a wall of purchases?

      I have couple of lamps like the one in the living room, they are as diffuse as you can get at that size, dimmable and let you adjust the light temperature as well. It’s really the perfect light source if you don’t want to think about it much.

      There are no tools, no unfinished models, if it’s a hobby than it’s a completed hobby which feel very sad to me. But that might be a me problem. The first thing I think when I see a plastic figurine is landfill. But maybe it actually gives other people joy to see their models. (Insert plot of Lego movie).
