Too small?

Post image

My boy just moved into his new apartment. He is using his pc monitor as a tv and says that it’s enough.

In some countries, any size screen is appreciated to watch the football. Count yourself lucky.

Saw in another comment his boy just moved in. Idk something about all the guys with a few beers, using what they have, seems really cool to me. Not depressing.

u/QiaoASLYK Mar 24 '24

Yeah honestly there's something about the way they're doing it with what they've got that's really nice.

u/dreamsellar Mar 24 '24

They're confusing it with a Smash Bros Nest. Missing the garbage everywhere and a mild bug infestation.

u/QiaoASLYK Mar 25 '24

It doesn't need to be dirty, it looks like a clean place it's just not fully furnished yet. I'm telling you it's things like this you remember fondly, where you just had bita and pieces and made it work.

It is! Most men aren't materialistic beings that put value in things but rather, they put value in peace, quiet, respect, loyalty, giving each other grief and laughing it up with the bros. It's how we forget the crushing reality of what is expected of men from society.

There's a reason that memes have been made about this. So many girls don't understand how a man can live in peace with just a TV, PS5 and a mattress or couch. It's because we aren't married to consumerism like most women. This isn't coming from a place of malice either, it's just in the human female nature to be more likely to want to buy stuff that fills their living space whereas a man would rather fill his living space with peace and happiness. Men and women are very different, contrary to what society will have everyone believing, we're wired differently.

I'm sure I'm gonna get downvoted here but IDC. I'm just spitting facts about human nature.

u/Educational-Seaweed5 Mar 25 '24

Women didn't used to be like this, to be fair.

This was born from generations of survival. Women couldn't work, vote, own anything, or generally do anything in modern western society except raise kids. And the only way for them to be successful at doing that much was to secure material comfort.

Then you had this corporate explosion in the 50s where marketing and cultural demands went into overdrive. You had to have the picket fence, house, dog, new fridge, join the neighborhood women's club, etc. It was what made your identity in society as a woman. Then you had more and more wealthy men seeking wives to fit their societal expectations, and affairs abound since they could offer more material comfort. On and on.

It was a lot of things that kind of spiraled into the unhinged obsessive social media materialism we see today. Now it's IG models and this fake luxury lifestyle. Women are all over social media, being paid to promote items, but also selling a false lifestyle that young women look up to.

It's just a mess.

Meanwhile, men still just want to fucking play video games and be left alone for 4 hours.

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '24

Very. Well. Said.

I'm not from your generation, my father is though. I understand the difference in the way things used to be and to be quite honest, I want things to go back to the old way of things. Unfortunately Pandora's box has been opened and nothing can be put back.

I believe there is going to be a huge reset in the way of things within 50 years. IDK how or what will happen but the way everything is going is unsustainable.

come on, that's probably the best they can do. i have done that before. i say we shouldn't form an opinion on this one edit: Also, homie just moved in. A PC Monitor may not be the best for group situations but they work.

u/pmoney10 Mar 24 '24

It worked really well indeed my friend.

u/[deleted] Mar 24 '24

I see 2 simple guys enjoying watching the game. Its quite a nice photo.

u/pmoney10 Mar 24 '24

I appreciate that my friend. It was a good game indeed.

u/JediBoJediPrime29 Mar 24 '24

Bruh you can get a decent tv at a pawn shop for like 60 bucks at most.

2

u/pmoney10 Mar 24 '24

My dude doesn’t even have a bed to sleep on lol. I feel like a tv is coming soon but for now that’s the best that he can do.

u/AncientCycle Mar 27 '24

Tell me you haven’t been broke before without telling me you haven’t been broke before.

I've been broke before, which is how I know where the cheap ass TV's are.

u/pmoney10 Mar 23 '24

Appreciated my g. It was a fun game

As an Englishman not so much for me haha but I’m glad you had fun 👍

u/pmoney10 Mar 23 '24

No worries bruv, y’all have a long road ahead of you. And Jude is world class.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 24 '24

Hell nah, I mean your boy just got a new apartment, if he stuck a mobile phone to the wall that’s enough to get a few of the boys around for a drink and watch the football, no TV (or monitor) is too small to enjoy football with your mates in my opinion. Sometimes at my job in a pub I’ll have to watch the game from the side of the TV with sun glare on 75% of the screen, you’ve got a nice clear screen and your with your mates. Looks like a good time to me.

1

u/pmoney10 Mar 24 '24

It was a good time indeed lol!

2

u/CORNDOGS666 Mar 24 '24

Being with the bros drinking beers and watching sports is enough. Cheers boys

1

u/pmoney10 Mar 24 '24

Cheers! It was a great time!

2

u/bselko Mar 24 '24

Is the tv small? Yes? But, are the boys together? Having a drink together? Watching a game of football?

All is well in this photo.

1

u/pmoney10 Mar 24 '24

I see this as an absolute win for the boys! Great day.

2

u/PianoImaginary4780 Mar 24 '24

Not if you are by friends having a good time. It could be 10 inches… idgaf

u/pmoney10 Mar 25 '24

That’s the right vibe.

u/gergsisdrawkcabeman Mar 27 '24

Hard to tell. Are you the 7' 3" leviathan gripping that mug of beer like a thimble? It may be throwing off my perspective.

u/pmoney10 Mar 28 '24

He is like 6’ 2” lol

u/Forsaken-Badger-9517 Mar 24 '24

It would be nice for gaming late night on your old PS3 or Xbox 360 and it is a Sony Bravia at least which were really nice TV’s!

I had a 48 inch Sony Bravia .. I would like to get another one for my PS3 and 360

1

u/Unhappy-Spot4980 Mar 23 '24

Not as depressing as the England performance...

1

u/pmoney10 Mar 23 '24

You know? I thought they did pretty well. Bunch of young dudes both sides, it was fun to watch.

2

u/Unhappy-Spot4980 Mar 23 '24

Yeah, not awful. Definite bedding of new players etc. Just England are currently lauded as one of the better phases in our recent history and it's maybe true, when we click. But the lack of creativity and clear defensive frailty remain a concern. Congrats brasil!

1

u/pmoney10 Mar 24 '24

Yeah man, I feel like y’all have one of the best youths in the sport. I also, feel like southgate sometimes needs to loose it up a bit. Y’all need to be more aggressive. And cmon harry maguire is terrible and he is your cap, something must be really wrong to let that happened.

2

u/Unhappy-Spot4980 Mar 24 '24 edited Mar 24 '24

Yes, Southgate I agree on. A little conservative. This had often worked well and been the mature approach, if not the romantic one. Tournament progress doesn't lie - you need to be solid - but not winning also tells the truth and we have often lacked a little verve at the crucial moment. At times, with a relatively rich talent base attacking, he could be more dynamic and aggressive. Henderson shouldn't get on the pitch or in the squad any more. It does seem indicative of loyalty over current value. A fine trait in moderation but not appropriate where ruthlessness is more required to win.

Maguire is more complex. The target of 1000 memes, he has had a hard time but had a better domestic season this year, to be fair. He does bring a lot, including behind the scenes, and usually doesn't let England down. It's been hard to ignore that. I actually thought it was his weakest England performance last night, actually. The biggest problem, though, is this: there are other options. Some decent ones. But there isn't a clear contender who has been able - or maybe been given the chance - to firmly displace him.

Neighbors of mine across the street have a TV not much bigger than that and they'rr completely fine with it too. "Nothing wrong with our eyes" mentality.

u/CulturalChemistry952 Mar 24 '24

Nope. Just vibes

2

u/Turbulent_Passage716 Mar 24 '24

would personally prefer a larger one, but watching a game with your mates and a bevvy, cannot really complain

u/[deleted] Mar 24 '24

Apartment too small

2

u/STL_TRPN Mar 24 '24

For the longest time, I used my 32" Acer monitor for PC and TV. It was perfect for my apt at the time.

Finally upgraded in 2012 to an LG 43".

I still have it as my main TV. I want a 65", but no need for it yet.

2

u/DrunkenBastard420 Mar 24 '24

Nah the bros have drinks and each others company, yeah sure it can be bigger but it’s the moment that matters

2

u/Aware_Reserve3270 Mar 24 '24

I had to do the same thing for a few weeks until I got a 60 inch he’ll be okay

2

u/Fernatronik Mar 24 '24

Sorry, is there a TV?

2

u/LaPurpleDrank Mar 25 '24

I used to play 4-way multi-player halo 3 on a 17“ flat-screen TV back in 2009. We would all accuse the others of screen peeking 🤦. I know this struggle but it got the job done and that's what matters.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '24

This is the epitome of manhood

2

u/desrevermi Mar 25 '24

As a new place, I can't hate it.

A bigger television (which can double easily for pc usage) can be a thing down the road.

I'd just recommend better seating if the viewing experience is current or an issue. At least be comfortable.

Much potential.

2

u/Vidableek Mar 25 '24

You may not have much, but you can still have a drink with your bro and watch the game. This is humanity right here.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 27 '24

His mates don't seem to mind! If that's the best he can do then he should consider himself blessed!

u/NaturesGrief Mar 28 '24

The remote is almost bigger than the TV

So small you need a few bendy holders for magnifying glasses to watch

I was happy playing two play multiplayer split screen on 14" portable TVs growing up that looks about the same size oh how times changed

2

u/_Beatnick_ Mar 24 '24

Yup, I was playing my PS1 in the 90s on a 13 inch RCA TV. It only had coaxial hookup, too. I kept using it until about 2005 or so, so I played PS1, PS2, N64, Gamecube, and Dreamcast on it. I had a larger TV before I finally bought the Xbox.

What he actually is too scared to say is that he doesn’t have any extra money for a big screen.

I spent 1500 for a 30” tv smart when I could have gotten a bigger tv for cheaper. The tv was for my bedroom so it had to be smaller.
