30 Times People Spotted Cursed Gaming Setups And Shared Them On This Group
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.

I remember years ago playing wow and I was solo healing a raid. Not the first time or the last that a healer didn't come online so had to solo heal everyone. Anyway, my cat decided to attack my mouse and bit through the cable which killed it. Unfortunately I didn't have a spare one so we had to quit the raid as there was no one else who could solo heal. I bought a cordless one after that. She had seen the wire, assumed it was the tail of a real mouse and just bit it. When I bought a new mouse the other raid members kept teasing me about my cat. You need to make sure that your mouse is safe because your cat is bloodthirsty lol

It's a toilet door lock, multiplayer is unlocked, meaning other people can enter, whereas the campaign is locked, so you're by your self.

Hey congresswoman Waters thanked him for speaking, not under oath but informally, to the oversight committee she chairs, and praised him for his "honesty and integrity", etc, and said the committee was not going to recommend an investigation or criminal charges. In unrelated news, Sam Bankman donated a lot to Waters campaign and PAC, and in fact donated tens of millions to Democrat Candidates, PAC's and groups, and as they lose control of the house come Jan 1, they are rushing through the hearings right now on FTX and seemingly sabotaging them to protect their political sugar daddy. Isn't political corruption grand. Originally the Republicans were going to go after him and fight the committee, but they back down, and shortly later the democrats said they were going to defer the Hunter Biden investigation to the next session of congress, as well as the Elon Musk committee for his twitter purchase. Basically each side trading to protect their own interests

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.

Hoarding is very difficult to manage on your own. I hope your friend's parents seek professional help and I hope your friend is able to build healthy habits when she moves out on her own.

Lack of coping skills, depression, anxiety, poverty, lost love, illness, caregiver overload, loss of hope. It might start with laundry piling up, maybe dirty dishes. Just seeing the mess is depressing. That leads to clutter. Clutter builds, and fuels depression. It's a terrible cycle. So many ways people can slide into this rut.

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.

Glimpsing into gaming culture always makes me think human civilization probably deserves to be destroyed at this point.
Well-Dressed Wolf 3 years ago
Most people are capable of gaming and still being a normal human. Gaming is just as legitimate a hobby as any other, if done in moderation as any hobby should be. Plus, it affords people the opportunity to make friends across the entire globe. It’s amazing. Saying that civilization “deserves to be destroyed” because of a few extreme examples of overindulgence is very shallow, spurious thinking.
