Okay, so this one. This is maximalism right here. I think I literally did a search on Reddit for maximalism, came across R maximalism. Found the setup called Maximalist Battle Station, a Gunpla workshop. This.
This. This is maximalism right here. So let’s have a look at this setup here. Wow, look at that. This is.
I’m not saying this. This looks bad. It. I think it actually looks really cool. I love this picture of Frank from Always Sunny, but Danny DeVito.
That’s his name, right? Awesome picture of Danny DeVito. I want to believe. Poster here. Even this.
This desk mat. I think this is a razor. I think Razer made like a. I think they called it like a Kraken desk pad. Yeah, desk pad. But, like, the choice of wallpaper combined with the sticker bomb shelves and the.
These kind of desk pads, plus all of the pictures here. It’s. It’s the first setup I’m seeing today, which, like, it kind of makes me, like, oh, it doesn’t make me feel comfortable. I don’t feel at ease. I feel a bit tense.
It makes me tense up this. This setup. And I think. I don’t know if it’s just a wallpaper. I mean, that’s really cool art, but, man, this is just too much.
It’s too much. It’s that graphical overload, color overload. I kind of love it, but it also kind of makes me tense. I don’t know if that would go away if you’re sitting around it. I guess it would.
It would just blend into the background. But, yeah, this is the first setup of the bunch. That’s definitely making me feel a little bit tense. That’s cool. It’s got PS2 over here.
It’s got a steam deck. I don’t know if is this keyboard for the steam deck, or it could just be another keyboard that he swaps to use for the main setup here, I think there’s a Gunpla station, like, making station over here to the side, which is really cool. It’s just a PC here. It seems like a decent build, I think. Is that.
That’s not. I was gonna say that’s one of the Corsair cases. They made these cases, which they put, like, a glass front, and it was supposed to be terrible for airflow. I’m like, yeah, why would you put a glass front on the. On the front of a PC case?
It makes no sense to me. But, yeah, this seems to have a glass front. I’m sure it looks good, but it must be terrible for Airflow. Where’s the air going to flow in from the bottom and from the little slot on the top. Terrible.
Bad idea. But yeah. Is that a. I think that’s a Musashi Musashi poster. Wow, look at that. Yeah.
So that’s his gunfire construction, I guess. Painting station. Is this. Are these actually like small magazines or is this just like everything’s just been cut out and stuck on there? Maybe it’s like a type of wallpaper.
Like a little color collage, essentially. See, it’s stuff like this, this. Wherever this. This pictures. Whatever’s going on here.
This. This reminds me of. Was it Attack on Titan, the anime? It’s like when it had some of those, like when they just grew up into massive sizes. Somebody kind of looked at it and it’s like I got that same feeling.
I’m like, this is a bit. It makes me a little bit tense to watch. I don’t know what it is. There’s something about it. It’s odd.
It’s very odd. But yeah, this is just kind of cool. I think that this is his dedicated Steam Deck setup, which is really cool. This little stand here, I think I’ve seen this. I think it’s from ikea.
These are really cool. I’ve noticed that Muji actually make these kind of like desktop stands now. Very cool. A little bit pricey for Muji, but that’s another angle. Yeah, beautifully done.
But man, stressful. It’s just so much going on. How do you not look at that and just go like, whoa, what am I looking at? It takes my brain like a couple of seconds just to try and like pull out even just one or two specific details. It’s just so much information in one picture.
It’s too much. Oh yeah, Grab the fan over here, Akira. Oh yeah, it’s the whole poster there. It’s in multiple fans. So he has a small.
The small desk fan here, one to the side. Maybe this isn’t like a humid location. No AC or something like that. Also, this desk pad, again, it’s too much, man. See, this isn’t so like stress inducing.
This desk pad over here. This is more light hearted. I mean, it seems that more of the stressful stuff is over here being covered up. So maybe that’s why. Good for health, bad for education.
But yeah, I think that’s the last picture of the setup. Yeah, very interesting setup. Definitely. Maybe the most maximalist. Could I say that that’s the most maximalist setup?
Not sure. But yeah, I feel stressed. I feel just a little bit stressed. Looking at pictures of that. I can’t imagine sitting in front of that every single day.
It would. It would. It would just make me tense. I’d walk out, just would. My shoulders would be up like this.
That would be too tense. All right, that’s the last setup for today, and I think we are going to move on.
Perfect.
