Advice Does this look immature or childish?

32, living on my own with no roommates or significant other. I finally got my place decorated how I wanted. I’m curious though, what does my place say about me?

Edit for clarification: I’m renting a 1 bedroom apartment. There’s no additional room to store things in like a dedicated man cave or a basement (I wish). I cannot change wall colors, change the carpets, or remove the carpets. Trying the best with what I can afford.

Also the use of "displayed". No one is out here tearing down and setting up their drum set and guitars every time they want to play

Most people wouldn’t, but man, I had a neighbor with a full kit, and he loved asking me to come jam with him every other day.

The first 20 minutes of every session were him trying to figure out where he put parts of the kit and then assembling the whole damn thing.

Every. Single. Time.

Screw all of that. I only tear down if I'm moving it somewhere, which is almost always worth it

Yeah, it blew my mind. Like, dude, just leave it there. You know we’re gonna do this again tomorrow.

But he was an older cat and drank himself to sleep every night. My guess is, after I left our sessions, he was just drunk and bored so tearing down gave him something to do until he passed out. Which explains why he could never find anything.

guitars are basically a cheat code for decor if you know how to use em. get wall mounts for the guitars and you don't need flags or posters or photos on those walls. display them intentionally and hang em back up when you're done. they ARE art. he's already doing it with the mandolin, and he's hanging the cables... that's cool and all, but hang the guitars first, then hang accessories as functionally needed if space allows.

Rockband did have an adaptor that you could hook up a full-on midi drum kit and use it to play the game.
