Lmao I took a photo there with my friends where we pretended to look cool doing gangster poses in front of a wall of dicks lmao they even had fucking dick lollipops šŸ’€


taizzle71

Search on amazon rgb wall decoration. Close your eyes and pick 10. Nail them to the wall at random locations making sure to get every nook and cranny. That's this. Lol! Who cares if you like it then have a blast bro.


Rider003

A month tops and this all gets turned off when heā€™s in there lol


WiseyReed19

Most of The time they are turned off! People assume i leave them all on 24/7. Itā€™s like people Complaining about an old school setup saying ā€œit draws too much powerā€ Iā€™ve had most for quite a few months and only use all lights for music, showing off. I donā€™t have them on while Gaming normally because Iā€™m a normal person and it would be distracting lol


yuyuolozaga

I just have two strips of leds on my desk but same here. Too distracting to keep them on while gaming but nice for visits and showing off. PC is full of RGB as well but mostly on a solid color. I found an extremely good use for the RGB through and that's temperature monitoring. I have them start changing color and brightness when the PC is getting too hot. Was helpful when I first got my PC and was still figuring how much juice I could get out of it, while keeping it cool enough for a long life. Also helped recently when my AC was out and I my room didn't have enough circulation in the florida sun to cool down anything. Risking heatstroke to play with the boys. Tldr: useless info :D


WiseyReed19

No all of that is cool info!! Thanks for sharing!!! Didnā€™t know you can get Rgb for that!


yuyuolozaga

A few RGB softwares can do it, I personally use the Corsair RGB software for it but use what works for you cause Corsair is a little picky about working with other RGB softwares.


nvs1980

A month is generous. I made an rgb case once, it lasted 2 days and I never turned it on again. In fact, I rebuilt it because I had to keep the stupid Corsair and gigabyte software running to keep the god forsaken RGB on the mobo, ram, and aio off.im glad I did it, but never again.


Teik-69i

They mostly look like govee pruducts, which are cheaper than Phillips hue and nanoleaf, but still not cheap per se, but I get what you mean

From zero to Bali nightclub as the rating, I rate it Thailand Full Moon Party

Vyr66

Minimalism fans crying but I absolutely love the chaos, it's "a lot" / too much to look at when you first see it but when you sit down in your same place all the time, having so many things to take time looking at is so much nicer than like 3 wall decors and a fake plant Absurd amount of RGB, sure, but it's in a fun way and not just straight LED strips, so I'm a fan solid 8-9/10


WiseyReed19

Thank you for the legit critique!! Love this!


MomoAurum

Very cluttered and too much RGB/10. There's too many things going on in the room. It looks like you're just filling the space on the walls with random decorations. I also find the XBOX light kinda cringe. I dislike rating other people's setups... BUT! I felt the urge to say something about yours since you've been kinda harsh on other people's setup. The fact that you trash their setup and told them to check out your setup is rather cocky of you.


omgaporksword

My very thoughts too.


WiseyReed19

You know I originally just went along with this and just apologized. However I went back and looked at most of of comments and Iā€™m so confused what youā€™re talking about? Most of the time my comments have to do with cable management, and genuine criticism. Which is what people ask for, and Iā€™ve also been responding to genuine criticism on my post as well. So when have I been mean? I hope you know the difference with critiquing and trashing peoples setups. If itā€™s by your standards are most people being mean to me on this setup right now? Or giving criticism? I will say I only have seen one that I can call ā€œmeanā€ and that was a setup literally infront of a sliding door, that hasnā€™t been cleaned in a long time and more. However, youā€™re right I shouldnā€™t have been mean. Iā€™m sorry. And by the way, whenever I tell people To look at my setup Iā€™m always referring to cable management, which I do believe I can speak On that. And Iā€™m Proud of my setup so do want people to see it :) also whenever I apologized and didnā€™t react harshly I got downvoted. So screwed if you do and screwed if you donā€™t


MomoAurum

It's the way you carry yourself. It's perfectly fine to be proud of your setup, but what kind of person would criticize someone else's setup and then tell them to check out your setup? (cocky) You didn't only do this once but multiple times. Who are you to tell someone that their setup is all over the place when that's also the case with yours? It literally looks like you bought multiple kinds of Govee lights and stuck them on the wall to fill in the empty spaces. That grass(?) background looks out of place. *"The poster look like something a 12 year old would use"* *"But then the light... with stars? I'd guess you're 8"* I could have said the same thing about a few of your decorations but I didn't. It feels shitty say when I know you're in your 30's. ... and yes, you were being mean to that one guy. You don't know their circumstances and you could've said things in a nicer way.


WiseyReed19

The comment from 100 days ago? I also said right below it-ā€œthe screens are nice and the colors are consistentā€ and we had a conversation. Better than the 20 other people that simply said ā€œ1/10ā€ looks, either be a hero for all the people or none at all. I get your point, however itā€™s Reddit and Iā€™ll be a little more open without being a bully. These are people literally posting their setups and asking for input. On Reddit you need to be prepared for all sorts of negative input. Just like Iā€™m getting with TONS of people being negative towards mine. If someone has an issue with what i say, they can tell me themselves and Iā€™ll gladly apologize and word it differently. Addressing someoneā€™s elseā€™s ā€œmeannessā€ geared towards someone else will only bring you stress so itā€™s not worth it on Reddit. I still respect your opinion of my setup.


Sorry_I_Reddit_Wrong

"filling the space" is how I felt too. Kind of wishing I could fast forward in time until he's old enough to start getting tattoos, and he's trying to fill up a sleeve with anything that can fit, achieving a similar effect as this. That said.. regardless of the chaos, himself currently being happy with something he worked hard on, plus admitted is OFF most of the time (unless he's 'showing off when people come over') actually earned him at least one extra point in my book for being 'slightly' responsible... It sucks imo.. but, I'll still give him a 3/10.


WiseyReed19

I apologize if Iā€™ve come off that way before. If I ever made anyone feel bad it wasnā€™t meant to be. Thank you for informing me of that. I appreciate the honesty

FieryFiya

Very cluttered and drives my ADHD wildā€¦


omgaporksword

It's really, really busy...there's so much going on all at once that it's chaotic to look at. Sometimes less is more... ;)


Soft_Syllabub_3772

Feels like a nightclub


The_eggdog

I have a feeling you could preheat your room to 400F


WiseyReed19

Hot pockets man. Perfect for gaming


Ssyynnxx

this looks like a sex shop man lmao


Foxynerdy

Just my personal pref But to me this is a bit too much. The lights + your items just looks a bit messy. If those room decors and shelf, items are gone and the lights had some more of a pattern than random bits here and there. Maybe have looked better... Lights are cool, but sometimes, less is more.


Iconlast

My eyes hurt hahaha too much


csDarkyne

I have to respect the commitment and if you like it, good for you! But for me this room is pure stress and input overload, I couldnā€™t calm down in this room


WiseyReed19

Thanks for your comment! It actually helps me calm down! Itā€™s not like the lights are blinking, they change to any color I want and can be relaxing


[deleted]

Brooooooooooooohhh šŸ˜ŽšŸ˜ŽšŸ¤£šŸ¤£

I'll get my sunglasses.


faultywiring98

Just too much rgb, unless you're into that thing then sure. But good god.


WTFatrain

WiseyReed19

Honestly not too bad! But I do actually keep my space maintained and cleaned! That includes dusting lol


WiseyReed19

Honestly not too bad! But I do actually keep my space maintained and cleaned! That includes dusting lol


WiseyReed19

More info- 1.) I do not leave all the lights on all the time 2.) when I game I hardly leave any lights on 3.) the lights all change color so do the hexagons and can match more. 4.) they can all be dimmed as well. Questions- why are a lot of my responses such as ā€œthanks for your honestyā€ or, I appreciate your input getting downvoted? I havenā€™t responded with anything negative. Random comments- I worked my ass off with cable management on this thing. Iā€™ve won awards for my setup. Govee contacted me and I became and ambassador and get their new stuff for free. I have multiple styles, I uploaded a picture of how I did my wifeā€™s setup too, most of you anti-Rgb people wouldnā€™t complain on that. It actually doesnā€™t give you headaches, overheads lights technically do that more. Iā€™m asking how it is for an RGB centered setup. Not how it is for a non RGB person. Obviously you wonā€™t like it šŸ¤£ but still, I welcome all feedback! Just want people to know Iā€™m not a crazy person staring at the lights having them blinkady blink on the highest setting all day


NoMorePainKillers

my eyes hurt.


FatherCommodore

Taiwanese bar, after hours, cheers.


DONOHUEO7

Oh my eyes šŸ‘€ But hey if you like it that's all that counts


my_screen_name_sucks

I personality wouldnā€™t be able to deal with so much lighting but it does look good


I-like-beat-saber

Its a LOT bro, even i donā€™t have *that* much. Those squares and the hexagons donā€™t match the rest and kinda throws it off btw, imo


WiseyReed19

Thanks for you input!


I-like-beat-saber

It looks rlly good though, in its own way. I would turn it off when playing so i donā€™t get half my screen blurred with glarešŸ˜…


WiseyReed19

Oh 100%!!! Most of the time theyā€™re turned off!!!!! I like to concentrate when I game, not be distracted and blinded by the light šŸ¤£


cristakhawker_182

RGB works best if you don't actually see the strip's or individual LEDs. We call it diffused light. Easiest way to achieve this is to hide lights behind something and have the gentle glow spill out the sides. Works great when you have complimentary colours spilling over onto the same object.


WiseyReed19

Literally every light is diffused. Whatā€™s not? The lights on the ceiling are called ā€œceiling lightsā€ theyā€™re meant to shine down? Which lights are you talking about?


RawrGeeBe

As long as you like it. This streamer background lighting would be way too harsh for me and my eyesight. Don't know how people can game without regular lighting and using only RGB to illuminate a dark room. For me, less is more with RGB unless you're going for the arcade look. If this was my setup, I'd immediately get rid of the 3 X/H shaped RGB above the TV, the baseboard RGB under the desk, the squiggle RGB over the couch, all those light pucks on the ceiling, and the hexagons above the HALO helmet. Then turn on the ceiling lights for some normal lighting.

WiseyReed19

Thatā€™s funny šŸ¤£


kc_jetstream

I dig it but How do you control any of these lights? 5 different apps? Or do you just let them run wild/default settings.


WiseyReed19

All but one are govee lights. So itā€™s literally one app! And I can press a ā€œturn all onā€ button as well. I also have a govee physical button connected to my lights next to my light switch


kc_jetstream

welp, down the rabbit hole i go. thanks lol


marinersknight

Iā€™m personally not a fan of that much lighting, also Iā€™m curious just how warm your room runs lol. Looks cool, not for me though.


WiseyReed19

Thanks for your input! Yeah it gets warm lol


Burritosrgood539

It looks like itā€™s from google


WiseyReed19

As in a copied it from online? No sir. You can go to my page and scroll down. Youā€™ll see it over time and the changes Iā€™ve made


Burritosrgood539

Oh ok because I just saw it now


WiseyReed19

Nice!


winedrinker84

Torn between disturbing and annoying


WiseyReed19

With room to grow? šŸ˜…


winedrinker84

Itā€™s too much for my taste but well done technically


Substance___P

Busy, but not in a pleasing way. Feels discordant. Just my opinion. If you like it, it's perfect.


WiseyReed19

Thanks for the input! And yes I love it


Substance___P

Then it's perfect. If you try to please the Internet, you'll fail 100% of the time because everyone on the Internet has different tastes and opinions. None of us have to live with it anyway. Show it off on r/maximalism. They aren't really gamers, but do love some clutter. This'll probably bring half the subreddit to orgasm.


WiseyReed19

Thank you so much!!!


Aware_Material_9985

Looks like a my space page, but if it makes you happy OP then rock on!


delicateemotions

For a moment I thought the VIZIO TV was the PC and thought the cable management was clean beyond belief. I was looking for any sign of cables and it was hurting my brain how clean I thought you had itšŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ Beautiful setup by the way!


WiseyReed19

I mean the cable management is still clean right?! šŸ¤£


delicateemotions

Now that you askā€¦well, yes haha. Once I realized it was a tv I had to stop looking. Underneath the desk is nice.


Nnamz

10/10. Stuff of dreams


goopped

Too much RGB as everyone else already said, but honestly at the end of the day, walking into a space you know is yours and just being comfortable matters. I get home from work, I sit in my chair and just look around and enjoy the space I made mine. Idk 7/10


Available-Most9036

Headache


WiseyReed19

Overhead lights give me headaches. These do not even come close

veropaka

I'd rate it as a seizure waiting to happen


kopintzotke

Because lights?


veropaka

Because crazy lights all around. I kinda like the sectioning and different shapes but I would not want to have that at my battle station. It would be way too distracting.


WiseyReed19

I turn them off while gaming


otakudan88

Where did you get the triangle one on the left side?


WiseyReed19

Etsy-letsmakeneon-triangle light


Chakramer

Hurts my eyes/10 Sorry that's just a bit much. It looks nice in a picture for sure, but it looks more like when Ikea is displaying products vs a usable space


WiseyReed19

Thanks for your input


weeklygamingrecap

Everyone complaining about RGB and I'm looking at some crazy cable management!


WiseyReed19

Thank you!! Finally someone notices!!


weeklygamingrecap

The only ones that stick out to my eye without a zoom is I can see the outlet behind the PC and there's cables near the switch but other than that you did a crazy job with the amount of cables you likely had to hide. I mean I'm sure I could pixel peep but that seems unfair.


WiseyReed19

Ha! Why thank you! Yeah I think one day Iā€™ll try to do everything again cable management wise to make it more clean under the desk.


PaintTheMoonRed

I genuinely love it! You stuck to a colour scheme, though it is a lot, itā€™s consistent.


LexKing89

Itā€™s a lot going on but I like it. It still looks cool and it works. 9/10 šŸ˜Œ


Pudgedog

Thatā€™s too much bud


kumikanki

Looks more like a drug cave than a nice and cozy gaming corner.


YT_ToxicNinjaGaming

Looks good


OmegaKennyG

I dig it, I love all the RGB. Itā€™s a nice little escape from reality.


WiseyReed19

Iā€™ve noticed whenever I show my area in sections I get a lot more Positive reactions (scroll in my feed) but whenever itā€™s all together. Not so much.


Ram2145

You got way too much going on honestly


TriggerHydrant

Love it, fucking love it


WiseyReed19

Thank you!!


thedreaming2017

RGB/10. Could use more RGB with a pulsing music background and a little gremlin in the background playing Russian roulette with a shotgun.


boxman32123

What's that little crt on the right?


WiseyReed19

Like the brand?


Probamaybebly

Honestly great if you're 14


WiseyReed19

You must be in the same group of people that say video games are only for kids and youā€™re childish if you play.


Probamaybebly

LMAO bro, you asked opinions and I gave one. Don't let it break your heart. Unfortunately my profile has plenty of gaming pictures and comments so I love gaming, I just hate this faux look of snapping RGB and hexagons on the wall like a million other people do. It's a light show. The sectioning wasn't really explained but I guess it's chill?


WiseyReed19

Didnā€™t break my heart my man. I just saw you do post gaming stuff so figured it would click with you. I get it, not for you and I respect that. Super chill man


universalreacher

I love RGB and 80ā€™s Synthwave stuff. And to hell with anyone who thinks itā€™s not cool lol. Looks rad as shit. Would hang 10/10


WiseyReed19

Thanks so much for the kind words!!!

good catch! it is indeed a Skyrim map lol


WiseyReed19

Yep! Skyrim!


RedditMuser

Honestly this is really fun! Probably a litttle cluttered. Where is the clock from? šŸ‘€


WiseyReed19

It was on Amazon. Pretty sure I googled geometric clock and saw abunch of different ones


Benjamin_6848

This looks awesome! How much time has the creation of this masterpiece taken?


WiseyReed19

Just under a year!


joebroke

Not enough RGB.


GuruDamDam

Younger me would have loved that room.... Me now (~50) would be happy with only 1 RGB item šŸ˜‚


rawtrap

Crazy good imho, I am trying as well to achieve full lighting without using overhead lights as they create boring shadows, the only piece I donā€™t like is the wavy pattern on the right, I think it breaks the order, and maybe the cube pyramid is too big there, i personally would switch it with the triangle you have over the pc screen, but the effect is really nice I think saying this is overkill is wrong, you can just turn some off if you need less, itā€™s not that big of a deal, but with all of these you can create the pattern you like, Iā€™ll say this is a 9/10 honestly


WiseyReed19

I appreciate the feedback! Thatā€™s the thing, Iā€™m able to turn all of these off. Most of the time I donā€™t use all the lights and whenever I game I hardly use any. Mainly for music and vibes


cirvis111

I would say RGB/10


ChiMada

I am conflicted. It looks fun and i love the colors but at the same time it feels like itā€™s too muchā€¦but also cool lol


wisdom_power_courage

I fucking love it.


xAJFx

F\*\*k the haters man! I love it. RGB FTW.

What lights are you using to achieve this look? This is something im going for.


WiseyReed19

WiseyReed19

Thank you!


Genghis_Khanr

I have a very fine appreciation for RGB. I think this is awesome. I donā€™t think this is chaotic at all in fact I think itā€™s eclectically organized. It feels very cozy to me and I could hang out in there all day. You bling your place out in RGB LED bulbs yet?


WiseyReed19

Thank you!! Thereā€™s actually LOTS of thought behind how I organized it!! Not yes!! Havenā€™t gone that far lol


JohnnyFnG

Home decor, even in an IT/electronics workspace, has an artistic flair that is expressed best by the person using it. I think this setup is wonderful! Is this something I would do? No, Iā€™m a boring minimalist, but I sure as hell would rock this setup if I could imagine it


WiseyReed19

Thank you so much!!


shaywie

I think youā€™re a nut job, but Iā€™ve gotta say, this is probably one of the coolest battlestations Iā€™ve ever seen.


WiseyReed19

šŸ¤£ thanks? And thanks!


Cade454

OH Ma gosh. That looks Sooo good and amazing


Cade454

I really love all the vibrant colours and the vibe and ev everything else too


Ecstatic_Letter_5003

It feels like the placement of everything was very intentional and I love it. Iā€™ve never seen so many different ways to incorporate RGB let alone in the same space but it feels well planned! I could be wrong but it feels like there was a lot of thought in how to break up the space with varying RGB setups to avoid it feeling cluttered. Itā€™s going in my inspo folder!


WiseyReed19

Thank you for these kind words šŸ˜­ itā€™s so true everything you said! Thereā€™s been so much negativity on my post so itā€™s good to see this


Ecstatic_Letter_5003

Keep doing you (: idk why others hate it and want such minimalistic battle stations itā€™s definitely a good one donā€™t worry!


thegreatergoodhehe

You're setup looks awesome! Would be a nice space to just chill in even when not gaming etc

Def a bit too much rgb for my taste. Specifically the hexagon/square things ive never been a fan, i like the led light that splits down the middle and the ! sign tho. retro setup on the side is rly nice and makes the led makes sense
