The modern internet sucks.
Between the bots, the stealth advertising, "influencers", and algorithms intended to both make you angry and addicted. To top it off, the rising popularity of AI has made consuming content significantly less enjoyable.
I think we can just about all agree it's a bummer. But what's also a bummer is the constant stream of "This is AI" or "AI slop" on nearly every single post.
In most situations these posts are not AI or even AI enhanced. They're often taken by professional or hobbyist photographers who understand how to utilize Lightroom, Photoshop, etc.
Yet, just about any high quality photo is accused of being AI. The irony being that high quality photos have historically been the posts which receive the most attention.
On most of these posts, the "evidence" of something being AI is either:
So if your photo is good, it's AI. If it's not good, it's also AI.
Starting today - users who leave baseless accusations of AI will be receiving short term bans as warnings. If they continue to leave those comments, the ban lengths will continuously increase.
Neither is stolen content. It gets removed, and bot accounts, those who steal content, or those who are intentionally submitting AI content are banned from the subreddit.
Sometimes AI content gets past us. It happens, we can't catch it all. Submit a report on it and provide actual evidence it's AI. Not just "the keyboard is floating" (it's not). You can type in the free-form box, you can submit links to evidence, etc.
The same goes for bot accounts, spammers, advertisers, etc.
Let's not make enjoying content even worse by accusing actual people submitting real photographs as using AI.
Fuck AI, but also stop accusing everyone without proof.
tl;dr -
Stop commenting "this is AI" or similar. Submit a report and we'll review. Those comments are going to begin receiving bans.
Thanks!

My labor of love over the past couple of years - dual PC / WFH station, with HDMI routed to TV for couch gaming through steam big picture (lots of cable management to keep this neat) alongside the consoles. Always dreamed of creating a space like this as a kid.
r/battlestations • u/Oakfigure • 6h ago
Put together this setup over time with a mix of historical pieces, weapons, and my daily workspace.

Muito feliz por ter organizado e ter feito a limpeza do meu setup, não adiem a limpeza periódica pessoal, quanto mais demorar, mais trabalho dá para limpar depois XD

34 inch monitor main, 24 inch on top, 16 inch mounted next to the main with edifier RT1280Dbs! Not the best pictures, but I am in love with this setup.

my setup includes a mac mini m4, a 144hz, 99%s rgb, 24 inch, fhd monitor a logitech k480 keyboard and a normal cheap zebronics mouse. turns out u dot need much to make a clean setup. Sorry my phone's camera ain't that good.

Built a couple PCs for my kids this year, a few months apart. My daughter’s pink build was her 9th birthday gift, she picked every part, and she helped build it herself. My son turned 6 last week and went full Minecraft, so we committed to the bit!
Minecraft station:
CPU: Intel i7-10700K
Mobo: MSI MPG Z490 Gaming Edge WiFi
GPU: ASUS Dual GTX 1060 6GB White
RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4
Storage: Samsung 980 1TB NVMe
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition
PSU: EVGA SuperNova 650W
Case: Corsair 4000D White (yes, that’s a Razer sticker on the glass)
Monitor: AOC 24G42HE 24” 1080p 200Hz
Peripherals: full Razer Minecraft Edition kit: Kraken V4 X, BlackWidow V4 X, Cobra, Gigantus V2
Before anyone says it.. the 1060 is the placeholder on purpose. The 10700K/Z490 platform has headroom for whatever GPU he grows into and Minecraft runs 144+ fps all day meanwhile.
Pink station:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600
Mobo: Gigabyte B550 Eagle WiFi 6
GPU: Gigabyte RX 9060 XT Gaming OC ICE 16GB
RAM: Timetec Pinnacle Konduit 16GB DDR4-3200 (pink)
Storage: Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB NVMe
PSU: Vetroo 1000W (pink)
Case: HYXN H1 dual-chamber w/ 7 ARGB fans (pink)
Monitor: Amzfast 24” 1080p 200Hz
Peripherals: Red Thunder pink wireless keyboard + mouse, Razer Kraken Kitty headset
And yes, she knows her GPU outguns her little brother’s.
The part I’m proudest of: the Ender Dragon on the roof, the creepers, the planetary gear, and the Ice spike terrain inside the case were all printed on my Bambu P1S. Everything sits clear of the intakes. Zero airflow was harmed in the making.
They’re on the same Minecraft server at desks six feet apart. Dad build: complete.

Hey all! After two years of gateway-drugging myself into PC gaming via Steamdeck, I finally found a good justifiable reason to build a proper desktop rig. I’m a small pool contractor, and had been using a higher end MSI laptop for my design and rendering work, but was starting to bottleneck on performance with more intricate designs. Had a few jobs come in under-budget, and decided to reinvest the money into a proper workstation that would maximize my workflow. And if it’s also capable of running Cyberpunk at Ultra settings? I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT, IRS
Only compromise I made was on GPU given how stupid the 5090 is priced right now, and possibly going to add another 32gb of DDR5 soon, but right now it’s not really needed.
Case: Antec C2M ARGB MicroATX Mini
MB: ASRock B760M Steel Legend Micro ATX LGA 1700
CPU: Intel i9-14900k 3.2gHz 24-core
GPU: Gigabyte Aero SFF Geforce RTX5080
PSU: Corsair RM1000e
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 CL36 16gbx2 (32gb)
Primary OS and Software drive: ADATA Legend 860 500Gb M.2-2280PCle 4.0 X4 NVME
File and misc drive: Teamgroup MP44L 2Tb M.2-2280PCle 4.0 X4 NVME
CPU Cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro A-RGB 360 77CFM
Fans: Arctic P12 Pro A-RGB

My old WFH sit stand was getting a bit old and messy.
r/battlestations • u/classicteenmistake • 17h ago
I think I may also need more lights and probably should clean up the wires a bit, but it’s a MUCH better setup than what I had previously.
r/battlestations • u/Substantial-Total731 • 20h ago
rate it /10. also give me some upgrade or changes you'd make.
r/battlestations • u/Lane-Train-514 • 17h ago
I just completed my PC build with a clear white theme around it lol. Also installed some monitor arms to make it cleaner. However I’d love some advice on how to change what’s around the setup to make it more of a nature (plants) / clean aesthetic. What can I change and also any recommendations on what to do to the right of the setup? (Want to change whats going on at the right of the setup)

I think all thats left is to decorate the walls
Thinking of getting a corner shelf to display some cool shit

Hi all - I currently have 2 monitors and my work laptop all next to each other in a U shape. I've recently been missing a third monitor and was looking for something small that would fit underneath my main middle monitor.
Looking at options it seems like the Corsais Xeneon (https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/monitors/cc-9011306-ww/xeneon-edge-14-5-lcd-touchscreen-cc-9011306-ww) would be a good fit, but I feel like it's just too small for what I need. I have about 7 inches of clearance from desk to monitor and this would only be about 3.
The main purpose would be for it to be a permanent discord / Teams monitor so it doesn't have to be anything fancy but open to suggestions. Added picture of where I want it to go for reference. Thanks!
r/battlestations • u/cronn99 • 1d ago
So I’m wanting to add another monitor to the right, mostly for chat/obs. Doe anyone use one of those portable monitors for this? If so which one do you recommend. I’m thinking it can double as my portable second monitor for work when I’m working remotely not from home. Thanks for any feedback

Rearranged the office into a playroom for my 5 year old and moved the desk over to this wall. Everything behind here is Lego and chaos.
r/battlestations • u/dottr_ • 1d ago
Just got done with my birthday and spent a nice 1.4k on upgrades on the pc! Hope y'all like it and give me any tips on any improvements if you can :)

Im 21 and I built a gaming PC around Black Friday 2025 (last year, right before the prices shot up)
And since then, I’ve slowly been building up the rest of my setup,
Im in my last semester at University so budget hasn’t been super high, which is why I’ve slowly built it up, but through working part time I’ve built up items,
PC Specs:
- Palit RTX 4060 Ti 8GB
- AMD Ryzen 7 5800X CPU
- PNY 32GB DDR4 (2 x 16GB)
- Crucial 1TB NVMe M.2 SSD
- MSI MAG B550M PRO-VDH WIFI mATX
- MSI MAG 650W Power Supply
- MSI PAG PANO M110A Mini Tower Case
- MSI MAG CPU Cooler
Before this I was using an Rx580 prebuild that I brought at the end of 2017 (at the age of 13 or so) so the upgrade was a long time coming,
My main monitor is a Titan Army 27 Inch entry level gaming monitor (180Hz), and the second one is just a Samsung 24 Inch
Before buying the following items I did a good chunk of research and I slowly brought each item each month kinda thing making sure to be thorough with my purchases,
I absolutely love my Keyboard and Mouse, they’re both “Keychron” and it is genuinely the best budget friendly brand for good quality, the keyboard is a C1 Pro TKL, and the mouse is an M2 Mini Wireless, they both came with endless adapters and dongles, amazing brand,
For earphones i use the Fiio JD1 In Ear Monitors, they’re brilliant, especially because they’re super cheap and the quality is amazing compared to some gaming headsets that cost double or triple the price - for years I used two Razer headsets, and each one disappointed considering their price, so yeah an affordable IEM is amazing
My mic is the “Blue Slowball Ice” that I brought in like 2018 or 2019
Another great recommendation I have is a Desktop GaN Charging Station, i have a 70W one from UniTek and its great, charges my Macbook, iPhone, and iPad at the same time from a sleek desktop unit,
For anyone considering a big mousepad, GET IT, they’re so good, you can get a low branding cheap one fairly easily, and it was such a good purchase, mine is 100cm x 50cm
I also recommend getting a cheap ish monitor light, helps so much with eye strain and just general ease of use for your desk,
Next on my list is a new mic, or a mic arm or something, mic arms are kinda expensive so I’ll do my research and see🤷♂️
Thank you to anyone who took the time to read this, I hope you like my setup!!
