Here is my 2023 office/gaming room....
I had to move my gaming PC into this niche in the hallway. My room doesn't have enough circulation and the heat builds up quick.
Big eyesore is the speakers. I had to shift my desk to the left side of the room so I could run wires through the wall to my PC. That mean I had to shift the adjustable mount to the right. Now I have to move the right speaker over a bit.
Use this setup for both my gaming PC and work laptop. Makes for a lot of wires.

My Home Theater set up, do connect my Switch and Series X to it for some big screen thrills, upgraded to Atmos/Dts X, with in ceiling speakers. My set up will be in the January edition of Home Cinema Choice, as I have upgraded since it's initial inclusion years ago.

For shits and giggles, I present to you my gaming setup probably around 2003 as a poor IT student.
2 55cm TV's, DVD-player and VCR, GameCube, Xbox, PlayStation, WonderSwan Color, GBA and a Thrustmaster 2.1 Surround Set. With a lot of miscellaneous stuff thrown around. So much memories of multiplayer gaming nights in that room.
Current setup is nothing fancy, my nearly 15 year old 32inch 720p TV, Switch, PS4, Xbox 360 and an old i3 hooked up to it in a corner with a shelf with some current gen games and blu-rays next to it. It has served me well all these years since I don't really care about graphics when gaming, but since I started actively watching anime again last year after a 10 year break, this might finally be the year I buy a new TV and furniture. We'll see.

Also, is the PS3 decorative or connected? In the past Iāve liked displaying my old consoles but with a sticky kids itās a complete no go

Yeah, Creative Labs Pebble. Got them for like $15 on Amazon. Sound pretty good too.
Don't have the PS3 connected since I rarely play it anymore so its just there for show.

Thats awesome. Back when I was in the dorms (1999-2000) in our room we had NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, PlayStation 1, Saturn with ROM Cart for imports, and a Dreamcast.

As a fan or horror and sexy women, I donāt know how to feel about those statues. Excellent set up!

I would love to have nice clean setups like so many posts above. But I think I lack the discipline to maintain a neat setup. Let's see what 2023 holds for m3 as my last year of studies wraps up.

Beautiful setup! On one hand having a lot if items, on the other hand making them look so clean and stylish is inspiring.
My current pandemic driven, nomadic approach to gaming setups is perhaps best demonstrated with these 5 setups.
February. Our temporary rental home on Moorea, French Polynesia where we have lived for the last two years while we are building our house.
May. A rental chateau we shared with friends in Burgundy, France.
June. A hotel room in Burgundy, France.
July. Our own holiday home in the Finnish lake district.
August. An apartment hotel in Helsinki.
I hope in 2024, when our house in French Polynesia is supposed to be ready, I will have three well equipped gaming setups - London, Finnish lake district and French Polynesia.
Respeck!

First one brings back memories of many a late night playing Super Smash Bros. Melee with friends or KOTOR with a long lost buddy.
I'm pretty sure I got that pirate ship kit from the second pic for Christmas one year too. Sadly lost to the age now.
Nostalgia factory.
Thanks! Haha, that picture brings back so much fond memories of my teen and early-20 years. I loved all the stuff I had, even if it was a little too cluttered on that picture.
As much as I love all the super clean minimalistic rooms people post here, I love physical too much myself to go that route. I love going through my collections and just breathe in the nostalgia.
The ship on the second picture, sadly, is not the original from 1989 by the way, but the remake from 2020. As a kid my parents couldn't afford that one, so my brother and me got the smaller Carribean Clipper. Still, the remake is an absolutely fantastic blast from the past and one of my favorite Lego sets ever.

mines isn't even worth the bother of taking a photo of.
i have my PC and a switch. i have like 6 switch cartridges in a case so can't even show games cases off because i hardly buy physical crap. so nothing exciting!
i live in a tiny house and my pc/switch are in my tiny bedroom. maybe if i was rich i'd feel the need to take some photos for this thread.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Should be able to post my setups before the end of this year. I plan on having my PC + a console or two in the living room, plus a "retro area" in the attic. Hope it all turns out nice.

Nah fuck that man. I enjoy seeing the home cinemas and millionaire pads here, but also just the homey set ups too.
You may think yours is unremarkable but part of the fun is just seeing what people rock with.

This one is damn cozy.Some small updates to the basement lounge.
Also: as a bartender, is that an actual bar in your basement and if so let's get some pics of that too. Love home bars.

Cozy is what I wanted. And yep, just a small home bar nothing crazy. Also have a pool table, currently covered in baby toys we are donating.

Here is my 2023 setup. I stream arcade games weekly on my twitch channel (www.twitch.tv/pastblaster) 7 arcade cabs in here (Egret 2, Windy, Astro City, Blast City ( Kinda hidden ) Neo-Geo Goldie, Chewlix, Sega Lindbergh. Also has my desk with PC and PS5. It's a little claustrophobic, but I love it.

Each cab has a custom, matching ash tray. Only for tokens though LOL

How do you capture the arcade cabinet signals? Some kind of vga splitter on the crt outputs?

My setup is kind of complicated, but the easiest way to explain it is that each cab uses a Splitfire. It captures the 15k Arcade Signal and sends it to an OSSC which upscales it to 720p for capture devices. I use a lot of Extron hardware as well to help with everything.Dude - Put some clothes on .
