For any avid gamer, a gaming setup is somewhat of a sacred place. It doesn’t matter if it’s super lavish or low-key and simple, it’s where you spend your time tuning into another world, embarking on adventures, meeting friends, and streaming. That’s your ultimate comfort zone.

But it turns out that gaming setups, just like everything else in this world, are not immune to having a threatening aura. According to Urban Dictionary, the term “threatening aura” refers to that of “a place, person or object that makes you feel like you're in danger just by looking at it, sometimes characterized by unsanitary condition.” Another online dictionary offers this definition: “The juxtaposition of morbid and farcical elements (in writing or drama) to give a disturbing effect.”

Now put it in the context of gaming: think of the battle station where all the action takes place, and imagine it having a threatening aura. If that’s too big of a job for you, let me present you this entertaining Facebook group “Gaming Setups With Threatening Auras” which will do the job for us.

Home to 145.5K members, the group is dedicated to sharing pictures of the most hilariously threatening gaming setups that will make you look twice and thrice, and then stare some more.

    This is unfortunately a lot more common than you'd think. I have a friend who lives with her hoarding, lazy parents. She's been trying to clean up the house for her sake but is overwhelmed. She's been making some improvements but is struggling to get it all done and is the only one in the household trying to clean. I'm not sure how she stays sane and motivated to do anything.

    I used to wash out pcs used on a factory floor that would fill up with oil. It's safe as long as you properly dry them. I would usually remove all fans and regrease thier sleeves since the oil in the factory would brake it down.

    I typically game on a stool. Sit/stand desk & stool. If I’m having a long run, 3+ hours, trying to finish a quest or boss, I wear myself out and let it go until later. If I used my chair, I’d get too sucked in until I killed the boss or finished the quest. The stool and sitting/standing helps me self-regulate my gaming time.
