Yeah, it's a fisheye lens, look at the tops of the picture frames.

Either that or they've bought warped picture frames to further create the ILLUSION of a fisheye lens with vaulted ceilings.

Some of these anime-shrine bedrooms are actually very neat & well-organized.

It's strange that there is very little middle ground when it comes to a "typical" nerd lair. They're either complete and utter shitholes or pristine, meticulously organised testaments to OCD.

Anybody have an idea what anime those pictures are supposed to be from? Easily one of the most bizarre lairs I've ever seen, it's almost admirable that they've got this victorian kind of theme going but also very creepy.

Reasonably sure it's from Umineko, I remember seeing earlier versions of that room years ago on 4chan.

That's Umineko. It's a decent show and it's not the sort of thing I think of being mindless otaku material.

I wonder where they got the posters? A big picture of Beatrice would be sort of cool in a 'no girl will ever set foot inside this room' way.

There's probably tons of middle ground ones that no one's just thought to photograph/upload pictures of since "meh, kinda dirty" or "a few more action figures than usual" isn't all that interesting when there's all this thread has shown and more.

Faerunner: I would recommend recording the current state of your lair, cleaning thoroughly, and then posting a tidy, organized environment as a before and after shot. The success stories are what make threads like this magical. You can do this.

This thread has caused some cognitive dissonance; I wish posting photos of your actual desk space/home office was required to mock others in this thread; I am also thankful that rule doesn't exist for the very real fear of endless derails about nit-picky color schemes or whether you actually wear that fedora in the background unironically (or whether "ironically" was worse), ad nauseum.

Also I'm sure I'd laugh at a few and then collapse into a singularity of raging envy if that one photographer from the "what did you just buy" thread showed up.

This is me. Yea, theres always a pretty big pile of clothes in the corner and more dust built up than is probably normal. But theres no left over food, anime crap, or exposed wiring/drywall. Just a room that could use a little more organization than I've been able to handle at the moment. Pretty boring.

There are tons of that. Like my roommate's giant robot collection. Goony as gently caress? Yes. Interesting? Not really, unless you're an avid giant robot guy, because it's well displayed and organized, it's just a bit larger than you'd consider average.

with flash:

On my comp I can vary the speed from a gentle massage to the point of near-masturbation (~150 CFM at max speed). Usually I leave it sinked up with my cpu fan: when I'm gaming it will automatically speed up to mitigate ball sweat, then automatically bring it back when I just want to chill out, since I usually keep one hand on my nuts when I'm relaxing. Not to mention it wafts the smell of my balls throughout the whole room, which although a guilty pleasure is quite comfortable and familiar, and on top of that it just feels insanely good!! And before you ask - yes I'm using it right now!!!

Ignoring the self-posting derail I started (Because even if I were planning on posting anything right now, I don't have any photos handy... And our place is goony in a goony, kinda messy way, not a goony disgusting way, aside from our mid-remodel bathroom which is only gross in that half of it is down to the studs with a vapor barrier up to still be usable since we're not quite ready to finish up yet, so I'd probably disappoint you all pretty hard.) our bathroom actually had those rubber baseboards all the way around when we bought our house two and a half years ago.

We've torn most of it out, except one wall we haven't started yet, but it's still there mocking good taste. Fortunately we don't have the speckled linoleum, it's all hard wood.
