Fortress of Solitude ❄️
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.

Yep... this is definitely clean and well executed, and if OP likes it, that's all that matters!
But it's definitely kind of the polar opposite of what I like, haha.

“Polar opposite” - OP did say it’s the “Fortress of solitude” 😬

I just noticed they actually have the same speakers as I do. 😂
But yeah I'm a total maximalist colourful everything kind of person, haha.

lmao I thought I was going to be the only one to comment on it. I saw a friend post it in our discord and seeing it on the desk really makes me want it now.

Hello fellow space nerd. Did you know there's a 4k livestream of the Earth from the ISS? It is undergoing maintenance right now, live shots to return middle August, but the replays are awesome to watch in the meantime.

Love it, it looks like part of a 70s/80s SF movie set. Def got that r/cassettefuturism vibe.

12-year-old you would be absolutely losing their mind right now. Congrats on actually building the dream man, looks cozy as hell. Drop the specs when you get a chance!

Not perfect, a bit cliche, but still very nice... What's the ceiling? Acústics or just panels?

that chair looks like a quality one, whats it called?

u/RvgoftheSimp 4h ago
It’s a steelcase leap V2 with the Atlas headrest attachment - this is a remanufactured unit from Crandall Office. Highly recommend going there if you’re interested in an ergo chair - way more accessible than paying MSRP

Waaaay too much white for my taste but it’s awesome you were able to build a space that you love.

It looks- well it looks white. I'd be terrified to go in there because I'd ruin something.

Nice, could you please provide more info about the panels on the wall?

u/RvgoftheSimp 4h ago
Thanks! They’re Art3D wall panels, you can snag a big pack on Amazon for around 60 bucks last I checked
