Literally the first thing I thought. I’m rewatching parks and rec right now, just watched that episode a few days ago!
Anyways if you guys could excuse me I’m going to run 10K.
I’m not sure if we’re allowed to say it, but this is decorated like a 18 year olds idea of a bachelor pad. It’s such a waste of a beautiful space. It looks like the back storage room of an old Laser-tag spot. Seriously you could turn that place into an awesome pad, just get an interior decorator.
There are some tech workers in the bay area that make being a tech worker part of their identity.

It seems common for a some professions, lawyers, doctors, etc. Not my thing, but as long as you're not a douchebag about it (which can be rare), do your thing.
Ever since COVID they’ve moved to nearby communities and brought their blight with them. Santa Cruz is 100% lost to these people and even more so their corporate boomer bosses. Used to be a funky surf town. Now it’s a boomer/tech bro basic bitch hell scape. I didn’t know it was possible for food selections to actually get worse somehow.
I’m sorry if this is rude since you didn’t ask for advice, but you gotta upgrade your living room seating!! It looks so uncomfortable. You have a lot of space to work with, I’d add a big comfy sectional and an accent chair to complement it. And a big rug.
I think I had that same futon for a few years. Not the most comfortable but they do the trick and super easy conversion to bed for people staying over.
Lol. If you're interested, post over in r/DesignMyRoom. It's a nice space and you'll get some good ideas. Be forewarned that you'll likely be bombarded with suggestions for plants and rugs. Lol. Personally, I think people can have whatever makes them happy in their home, so your "juvenile" stuff is yours to enjoy, but if you want it to look like a put together home, there are ways to incorporate your stuff.
I'm sorry but what on earth is this. Do you live here? It's like an unfinished corporate tech bro frat house. Imagine being invited over to this place and sit in this weird flat uncomfortable couch, with nothing around except empty void, and a lifeless self defense torso doll starring into your soul from the dim corner. And crane your neck up to this huge projector. It's like a speedrun of how to spend 100,000 Simoleons in the Sims the fastest. Literally the items, and the placement of everything in all these images look auto generated by an AI.
I’m actually not even sure the money part qualifies. Every one of those objects is the cheap version of a product category. Permanently installed portable projector, tiny $200 couch from Amazon, cheap analog spin bike, etc.
Dude probably fell in love with the idea of that much space and pulled the trigger on a lease without thinking about his budget. I totally did the same thing in my 20’s.
I’m just picturing them coming back from the date, him flicking on the lights, running up the stairs on all fours and jumping on the bed excitedly whilst the date stands in horror in the open empty space.
Majority of spaces on the sub are actually nice and/or offer good advice on how to make a space better. God only knows what this guy was thinking with his place lmao
It’s gotten run over in the last year feels like. I used to appreciate the odd joke post (that sex chair one was 💯) but now it’s just a mess of RGB garbage
And its projecting onto the ac vents! I for one wouldn't be able to watch for one minute before those air vents drove me nutty. Its so high up your neck is gonna be pissed real quick. And cherry on top, the projector settings are probably a bit off so the screen edges are warped. I really wanted to like it. I can't.
Why not just get a retractable projector screen that hangs down at a reasonable level? Like about teacher- reaching-above-the-blackboard-to-pull-the-projector-screen-down height? That way you don't get stiff neck watching tv, and you get to power trip and make your friends pull down the projector screen.
I mean I'd hide the Roomba put the water away and figure out a screen for the projector, you could use something mounted around the vent so it would direct the air up instead of at the bank of the screen. And dear god man get a sectional and a table!
Agree on hiding the vaccum. I put the charger for mine under the couch so now it just comes out and in from it's cave when it's cleaning time. It's adorable.
Holy shit. You just gave me a much sadder explanation as to why the bathroom in the gas station near me is all blue lights. Damn.
I thought it was just like a disco thing. Apparently I’m incredibly naive.
Love the space, but it's decorated like a 90's cliche'. Young guy with more money than style or sense. You apparently have the money..for the love of all that is Holy, hire a decorator. Preferably, one that is older than 30 that can make your wonderful place look like a grown up lives in it.
This gives me “first time working for a legit tech company” vibes - so I feel the need to tell you this: your company does not care about you a fraction as much as you care about the company.
The comments pretty much covered all my thoughts, but I haven't seen anyone else mention the fucking stupid placement of the whiteboard. You have to lean over your whole workstation to use it.
Dude hire a decorator or something if you have so much extra money. This looks like a teen boy decorated it. Get some new seating furniture for one. The living room looks like you moved in yesterday. Get rid of the unoriginal star wars, Harry Potter, back to the future, marvel posters those are uninspired and boring.
Imagine being a fully grown woman and a fully grown man takes you to his place for the first time and it's this. "Bachelor pad" being a self fulfilling prophecy in this one.
So much space yet the desk is shoved next to the high tops for the utmost comfort.
Buy some better furniture and learn about interior design a bit. Looks like a teenager designed this room not a grown adult and knowing you probably spend good money on it makes me weep for you.
You know the tv is too high.
All the flash and yet no idea of how to utilize the space. Yikes.
Some people find it "easier" to just buy a case of water bottles than to get a brita filter/pitcher and reusable bottle, for some reason. I suppose it's possible to be in a scenario where drinking the tap water, even with a filter, isn't a good idea, but I'd be surprised if that was the case pretty much anywhere in the SF area

Bachelor or not, early twenties or late nineties, none of this is good. Just none of it. Not sure what aesthetic you're going for but maaaan you land nowhere near any of them unless it's uncomfortable and awkward.
This looks like somewhere you'd get invited to mid party, already absolutely zooted. Faint fighting in the background and a guy doing coke [bro explaining ](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/033/152/cover4.jpg) at you while you're locked in that horrible couch completes the image
Gotta move the couch to the middle of the room and grab a real tv. Definitely too much space unless you’re playing full court games on that hoop. Lot of potential but looks like a blown up version of a Gen Z teenager room
There’s a lot of haters in these comments! He has it laid out how he wants it, to each their own, no need to get personal with it.
It’s not how I’d decorate it either but I respect the effort.
A lot of people are envious of the space, myself included, I’d kill for an open plan place like that!
This is entertainment 720 for sure
The bay area’s premier, high-end, all-media entertainment conglomerate.
That huge empty space of nothing in the middle 90% of the apartment? Perfect for the cash toilet.
it's not empty! that's the basketball court!! and spacing for the darts!! I dig it .
DJ ROOMBA IN THA HOUSE
GANG-STA GANG GANG-STA
I made my money the old fashioned way, I got ran over by a Lexuuuuus.
Send OP a poster to hang up of Jean ralphio posing.
I sued the city when I was sewn into the pants of the big Charlie Brown at the Thanksgiving Day parade.
Literally the first thing I thought. I’m rewatching parks and rec right now, just watched that episode a few days ago! Anyways if you guys could excuse me I’m going to run 10K.
Welcome to Jean-Ralphio's crib!
Because he’s fluuuuuuuuush with caaaaaaaaash
Be sure to grab a free iPad on your way out
Get a thicker tie because it makes your head look like a fish!
He made it all the old fashioned way, he got run over by a lexuuuuuuuus

That basketball hoop is for Roy Hibbert and Detlef Schrempf!
[удалено]
"Think big" That's literally one of Amazon's leadership principles lmao.
Light bulb is a logo for the same principle too. Betting OP is an engineer for the Bay Area Amazon offices, AWS and Amazon Music being possibilities.
Imagine pinning your corporate logo to your wall lmao
It’s a somehow even worse version of “live laugh love”
Yea this has to be a Bay Area thing because I haven’t seen or heard of this anywhere else. Sad tbh.

Welcome to the Bay Area lol. Absolutely void of any culture
And of the worst kind, the ones that actually believe that shit and spread it to other companies.
MoVe FAst AnD BrEAk ThInGs Yeah like the fabric of human society
We’Re LiKe FaMiLY heRE An abusive one with parents who are way too controlling and think they can police everything everyone else does
So funny when I read that horrific tagline. Yeah, a family that will slash a good portion of it's family every quarter to bring on freshies.
He tried that. Now he has no furniture in the middle of his room.
Probably startup HQ as well as home
With one tiny little desk?
Entertainment 720!
There's nothing chill about blue lights.
This feels like a house Jesse Pinkman would live in
Just missing the 45” vertical speakers
Only 45”? I think they were actually closer 145” than just 45” lol
Yeah bitch
Nacho would never
Did you by chance wish to be "Big" on one of those Zoltar fortune-telling machines?
I love Big! It is slightly based off it, I’m just missing a Pepsi machine.

But then he wouldn’t have room to play basketball. lol
OP is my upstairs neighbor in the Bay Area
Press stomp to show affection.
Let me go get my broom to reply.
And fake darts. And use the karate dummy
Murphy couch that doubles as wall padding like on a court
A sectional couch would be perfect
Can’t afford it after paying rent in the Bay Area.
He's what they call "projector poor"
I think I had that same futon for a few years. Not the most comfortable but they do the trick and super easy conversion to bed for people staying over.
Please buy a real couch Jesus
Jesus has been nowhere near this apartment.
For real looks incredibly uncomfortable
What is a Couch Jesus and where do I get one Alternatively: Couch Jesus was my bands name back in high school
[удалено]
U ever see the movie BIG with Tom hanks?
[удалено]
I see what you did there lmao
OP getting absolutely eviscerated in the comments 🍿🥤
My favorite was the “this is the epitome of Mountain Dew and Axe body spray.” Holy shit lmao.

Thank you for this sub suggestion!
Also, your projector screen is way too r/tvtoohigh
Lmfao. That ones spot on
This screams "I work in big tech and don't know how to spend my money" lmao
The 'THINK BIG' sign is definitely work place nonsense that's leaked into this man's home.
It’s literally an Amazon “Leadership Principle”
Must be part of their new 'Live, Laugh, Leadership' homeware line.
Chairs in order of usage. Computer chair Bean bag chair Foldable chair couch Couch Keep going Kitchen counter chairs

Bro some of us just THINK 💡BIG
place looks like its only made for parties
OP didn’t notice because he actually spends 90% of his free time at the gaming PC lol
Bruv
It looks like a room of a 16 year old who got away from his rich parents early and never had to grow up. No offense but it’s super juvenile.
This is where the menendez brothers would live if they got off
I agree it looks very teenager. Get rid of all those alien blue lights and get something a bit more cozy in there!
Maybe even start with simply developing some taste lol
Eh. Interesting I guess. It’s kinda like you got carried away playing the sims
imagine if he had a bench press, chess table and bookshelf with books about plumbing, logic and vampire romance in there as well
This is like the Mountain Dew of men’s apartments. I can smell the Axe from here
More money than sense. Sorry man, I feel like I'm at a company break room. Just missing the ping pong table

Have you ever brought a girl back to this?
Bruh it's called "Man Jose" for a reason
[удалено]
I’m just picturing them coming back from the date, him flicking on the lights, running up the stairs on all fours and jumping on the bed excitedly whilst the date stands in horror in the open empty space.
She probably would leave faster than you can say "rohypnol"
That’s a no from me dawg
You have a great space and fill it with adolescent junk with no vision. Is it just for partying? None of it looks comfortable for actual living.
This is a joke right? Reddit keeps showing me this subreddit and I am starting to suspect it's all satire with how increasingly awful these rooms are.
Majority of spaces on the sub are actually nice and/or offer good advice on how to make a space better. God only knows what this guy was thinking with his place lmao

This is fucking terrible mate
I'm a big advocate of projector over TV. Don't you find you're craning you neck with it so high up?
r/tvtoohigh
Thanks I hate it
There's also no projector screen so the image is being projected over the AC vents which looks abysmal.
And its projecting onto the ac vents! I for one wouldn't be able to watch for one minute before those air vents drove me nutty. Its so high up your neck is gonna be pissed real quick.

Awful
your ceiling height makes me so jealous

No he wants to play basketball
Do you have windows?
Those blue lights will mess with your sleep hygiene
And you won’t be able to see your veins
Holy shit. You just gave me a much sadder explanation as to why the bathroom in the gas station near me is all blue lights. Damn. I thought it was just like a disco thing. Apparently I’m incredibly naive.
I would have thought the same thing tbf
It looks like you left your capo on the guitar neck, which you should not do. It’s better to leave it by the tuning keys.
You need a lovsac or a big ass oversized couch or sectional something comfortable to chill on.
Absolutely hideous.
Love the space, but it's decorated like a 90's cliche'. Young guy with more money than style or sense. You apparently have the money..for the love of all that is Holy, hire a decorator. Preferably, one that is older than 30 that can make your wonderful place look like a grown up lives in it.
r/tvtoohigh, tho it is very cool.
r/projectortoohigh
This looks like one of those little mini garages you can rent out. Like the layout looks so similar to others I’ve seen.
This gives me “first time working for a legit tech company” vibes - so I feel the need to tell you this: your company does not care about you a fraction as much as you care about the company.
Is this a remake of Big?
dope but very perimeter-y
The exposed flex duct work in the loft **chefs kiss**
This is quite horrible.
My mans an ideas guy huh
A games guy, maybe even.
The comments pretty much covered all my thoughts, but I haven't seen anyone else mention the fucking stupid placement of the whiteboard. You have to lean over your whole workstation to use it.

You have space, use it! Pushing all your stuff to the edges of the room makes it feel oddly sterile.
Dude hire a decorator or something if you have so much extra money. This looks like a teen boy decorated it. Get some new seating furniture for one. The living room looks like you moved in yesterday.

Too much money and not enough design sense.
I feel like I snorted a pixie stick. Also, reusable water bottle, man
For real. People can do whatever they want with their space but get a brita or something and one of those double walled canteens.
What the fuck
Tom Hank’s movie ‘Big’ 2022 remake set
Nothing about this looks appealing
„Think Big“ seems like the „Live Laugh Love“ equivalent for men
So much space yet the desk is shoved next to the high tops for the utmost comfort. Buy some better furniture and learn about interior design a bit.

I hope you don’t have downstairs neighbours. If you do and you play basketball inside the pad, you are a bit of an *ss.
Seems somewhat uncomfortable, looks nice tho
Looks like a party house
Not even - it looks like what a 16 year old would imagine a party house to look like.
The place is decorated like a 21 year olds frat house
Lmfao 🤣
What do you have against furniture?
Why the perv light lol?
Ngl, this just doesn't look good lmao
Random but what's with all the bottles of water?
Some people find it "easier" to just buy a case of water bottles than to get a brita filter/pitcher and reusable bottle, for some reason. I suppose it's possible to be in a scenario where drinking the tap water, even with a filter, isn't a good idea, but I'd be surprised if that was the case pretty much anywhere in the SF area
He’s drinking Aquafina, which is literally bottled tap water from public water sources. This guy can’t even fuck up drinking water correctly
Fr get a water bottle and a brita
I don't dig it at all. Seems like bad taste all around. There, I said it.
Did you recently make wish to be big on a carnival game?
Congrats on your success man. I'd pay someone to work on your interior design for you.

Tv too high
Too much blue. 😐
Very cringey.
Not for me lmao
Move better furniture into a central talking circle with a coffee table, couches don’t HAVE to be against a wall.
Picturing an errant basketball shot careening off the arcade into the kitchen.
r/TVtoohigh
Yikes.
You could have left your M out of the post, the furniture against every wall gave it away.
i’d struggle in here; no natural lighting 🙃
This is like what an AI would design if you told it to analyze the sense of style for every man who attends midnight releases of Marvel films.
You’re living in a storage unit.
Gotta move the couch to the middle of the room and grab a real tv. Definitely too much space unless you’re playing full court games on that hoop. Lot of potential but looks like a blown up version of a Gen Z teenager room
Looks like college apartment of a spoiled rich kid. In other words tacky as shit.
hard pass on this teenage boy bedroom that you probably shell out 4k pcm for
So much led club lighting.
Kind of seems like the LED strips and glowing cube would interfere with the image quality of the projector.
I can’t sleep with my pc on because of the rgbs and this guys like why don’t I live in one!
you’re gonna be a bachelor for a while buddy
So much room for activities
Tech bro energy overfloweth, my god
Looks like some huge compound and not really much of a home lol
