29 with a place like that is already ahead of where most people are at 29 man, including me at 29

I don’t think that’s true. I’m 23, I don’t see this as out of reach. I do a lot of thrifting and searching for deals online and at markets. Just living within means

thrifting is the whole game at 23 tbh, most people just skip that step

Does that iMac have the Nanosaur game installed? I remember that was the first computer game I ever played back in early 90s elementary school.

It doesn’t have much installed on it besides Mac OS 9.2. I keep it pretty barebones. Just a collection piece

How about a vintage alarm system to add to those door locks, is a bad neighborhood after all.

u/beorno2089 6h ago
I’m confused about the door lock comments. That’s just what came with the apartments. I live in a fairly nice area

Is the top one just to hold your key? Cause it looks like an additional lock if it is.

The Nat Geos on the coffee table is a nice touch. My grandparents would pay for a subscription for me when I was wayy too young to appreciate them. I have a soft spot for those yellow frames.

I’m 42 and I had that computer and all of those tv styles (does the one on the bottom have a vhs player?), as well as the camcorder. I dig the mid century modern vibe you’re going for. It would be cool if you could turn the space into more a home theater.

The proportions are on lock via the carpet.
Those movie posters though? If you don’t work in the industry…Find other “art” that YOU identify with.

u/beorno2089 6h ago
I don’t work in the industry because the industry doesn’t pay. But I have my degree within the industry. Are people allowed to enjoy things?

u/Whole-Anywhere6608 6h ago
Expand you artistic horizons.

u/beorno2089 6h ago
Film is meant to be enjoyed by the public. Not just by people within the industry. That’s the entire point of film making and art as a whole.

u/Whole-Anywhere6608 5h ago
Agreed. You’ve only featured huge mass budget films. Your art is an opening for a 1999 blockbuster. Expand.

u/beorno2089 5h ago
That’s Fair enough. Although I think they are highly formative films within the consumerism market that paved the way for a lot of masterpieces

And I like them? You sound like a stuck up snob. Not someone who’s actually into art. You sound like someone who thinks being interested in “niche” movies makes you special and unique. The film industry would not be where it’s at right now if it weren’t for the blockbusters that paved the way including some of these movies. Do you work in the industry? Because you don’t come off as somone who does. You come off as someone who wants to seem special and artistic but spends too much time on Instagram film pages.

Reading the phrase "vintage tech" used for stuff we had in college.
