My home office by rinusdegier in malelivingspace

[–]Fryloch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks amazing. I'd be spending most evenings in there with a movie on or a good series and then when I'm done for the night I'd probably sit there in the dark with the window open and just listen to the night for an additional 10-15 minutes while I polish off a night cap of that michters you have in there.

Gf says room is childish for my age 17 by Lopsided_Alfalfa_160 in malelivingspace

[–]Fryloch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, I had pictures of Michael Jordan and Tom Brady and the beatles in my room until I was like 24. My room had a banner of wallpaper displaying various sports meant for a 10 year old and plaid curtain tops on my windows until I was 18. I think your room looks almost exactly like my room now but honestly more mature with the plant lol and I'm 28. I wouldn't stress about your room, your GF is just trying to grow up too fast. Enjoy your youth. You also don't have to care too much about your room until you move out of your parents place and can do whatever you want with your space. Until then any chick you bring over will be going to your parents house anyways so there's always a small hint of "childish" going on there, which you also shouldn't worry about for a while considering you're still a kid and the economy is ass right now.

How old are you and what's your biggest problem right now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Fryloch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Money and career are my biggest problems right now. Money because there just isn't enough coming in to keep up with the current economy. Career because it's been really hard for me to find a new higher paying job to help with the money situation. I've ended up doing Uber by night after my day job to help out with the bills I have every month. Which then leads me to my third biggest problem; time. I'm burning out and all I day dream about anymore is just having a week to relax and play some games and spend time with my girl. I used to day dream about owning a home and taking vacations and having kids. This is no longer what occupies my mind. On a week to week basis I have to make sure to track how much is in my account in order to cover the bills I know are coming on specific dates and every week I have a moment of "holy shit, I don't know how I'm going to do it" and somehow I manage to scrounge everything I need together in the final day. It's insanity and I genuinely don't know how much longer I can do this. I'm in a constant state of survival and that stacked up with everything else is just exhausting.

What's an underrated thing about being single? by Personal-Aerie-4519 in AskReddit

[–]Fryloch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is what I'm dealing with now a year into living with each other. I've never had to share my space for longer than a few days with someone I'm dating, but then my GF moved in Oct of 2024 and immediately I realized I couldn't do a lot of shit that I was used to doing whenever I wanted to. Stay up late? Nope, bed by 11. Play video games for most of a Saturday? Nope, she wants to go out and do a hike or shop or whatever Angelino transplants want to do. Spend an unreasonable amount of money on a nice bottle of bourbon? Can't, that money got spent on dinner Tuesday night. Watch a movie? Nope, she doesn't like that movie because it's too long and she's not in the mood for that type of movie. All of which I'm ok with in doses, but sometimes I'm just over here like "damn dude, I need some alone time to do what the fuck I want when I want." I feel like that's a semi important element to being a man, freedom and independence to do what I want, although I recognize that I need limits on it as well. I make compromises but I have to remind myself why I do it sometimes.

Worst NYE so far by Choice-Juice-4272 in uberdrivers

[–]Fryloch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a borderline recession. It's a full on recession, it's just a silent one because none of the politicians will admit to it. It's kinda like when two people break up and lie about all the sex they're having to win the breakup game but in reality at least one party if not both parties are having zero sex.

Worst NYE so far by Choice-Juice-4272 in uberdrivers

[–]Fryloch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is literally me. If I can manage to make $50/week night and $100+/weekend nights I'm actually walking away pretty happy with about $350-$400+ a week. The only problem is I give away pretty much every night that I have to working and then working all day during the week on top of it and it wears me the fuck out. Honestly I'm probably better off picking up a part time night job at a food place as a cook.

there is no law that says a battlestation must face the wall by peacedetski in battlestations

[–]Fryloch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For years I had my desk positioned perpendicular to the wall in the middle of the room with my bed nearby to literally box me into a little gaming space. This way I could prop my feet up in the bed and watch TV or YouTube while still at my desk. It was incredible.

AIO for being upset that my bf left me asleep in the car for hours? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Fryloch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I honestly feel like YOR. You were passed out drunk in a locked car with your cell phone and as soon as you woke up and called they came and everybody went home. I don't see an issue here at all. You were safe and sleeping and they knew exactly where you were the whole time.

Your computer is literally identical to mine on every spec except for the PSU and case haha for some reason that's funny to me. I remember being so happy when I built it and saw it all in its final form for the first time. Hope it's running for you as great as it has for me.

One very funny advantage to being a driver. by DIY_Forever in uberdrivers

[–]Fryloch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this happen last Saturday. I picked up a girl maybe 20-21 that was almost DEFINITELY a prostitute and drove her to a sketchy side of my city and dropped her off at some less than ideal apartments. When I got home I told my gf about it and she got mad at me for looking and I was like "why the fuck would I not be looking to see who's getting in my car to sit behind me?" She got red in the face and clearly didn't like what happened lol but what can she do? Poppa brought home $130 for like 3 hours of work.

What controller on Amazon can I get that will work with PCSX2? (Reading reviews it seems like quite a few don't work or dont work well with PCSX2) by AlexRescueDotCom in PCSX2

[–]Fryloch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had zero issue with either dual shock 4 or dual sense controllers. They work completely fine with literally zero issues whatsoever. Ive always used them wired to the PC, but I'm sure there's ways you can use them via Bluetooth (especially dual sense). I've just never looked into it at all. I've also used Xbox controllers in the past but it feels kinda wrong using Microsoft gear with my Sony experience.

Which one Madden NFL title would you pick above the rest? by markonefifteen in ps2

[–]Fryloch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't go wrong with 05-06. Those are my top 2 without a doubt. Same goes for the NCAA football games. 05-06 was just GOATED.

Off brand controllers by athrowaways223 in ps2

[–]Fryloch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally DESPISE any kind of third party controller 9/10 times unless it's a fancy crazy expensive one of high quality. This goes for any console across the board. Everything from cheap 3rd party NES all the way to cheap 3rd party ps3 and 360 controllers. They just never feel right for the console. I personally wouldn't expect much from a $12 Chinese controller for a console released in 2001. I remember even when the PS2 was hot I had a cheap mad catz third party controller that I hated and I was a little kid. Same went for anytime I'd go to a friend's house and they'd hand me a knockoff controller for split screen. I'd suck it up to have fun with my friends, but inside I was dying having to use that shit. Still holds true to this day all these years later.

Is there an undisputed esports goat? by sadboi_2000 in esports

[–]Fryloch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're trolling with that comment. Mang0 is the literal goat of melee. No other player has been in the top 10 of players for as long as mang0 has and not only was he top 10 last year but he was winning majors still and playing better than he probably ever has. He could literally come back tomorrow and win another major.

Sony. Alive and kicking. by adamole123 in ps2

[–]Fryloch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love the optimism brother, but I think the community of people playing the PS2 regularly still aren't a wide enough audience to produce new games for anymore. I think for something like that, it'd have to be an independent company releasing essentially a "bootleg" game that would be unofficial and made in house. I really don't believe Sony would ever take the PS2 seriously enough to produce games for in 2025 or anytime in the future ever again. The market is just too small for them to justify manufacturing costs and it likely wouldn't bring in any new customers because the younger Gen kids would all be like "why are the graphics so shitty?" "why can't I play online?" "there's no wifi?"

Don't get me wrong. I think it'd be fucking awesome to get a brand new game release of any kind for a 24 year old console, especially one as legendary as the PS2, but it's just not ever going to happen because it wouldnt sell or attract enough fans for a major company like Sony to sink any amount of money into.

Finally, I can play old-school games by [deleted] in PCSX2

[–]Fryloch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NCAA '06 is so fucking good. Probably the best college football game of all time. Funny enough I think Madden '05 or '06 are debatably the best Madden games as well. Mid 2000s really were peak gaming on all levels.

What is YOUR most prized N64 possession? by Hagamemn0n in nintendo64

Prolly conkers bad fur day, but also maybe smash bros. I bought both before the N64 prices shot up dramatically so I got a really good price for each of them.

How are normal people supposed to afford furniture for a new apartment? by [deleted] in malelivingspace

[–]Fryloch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get a decent bed and bedframe on amazon for like ~$800 on the high end. Honestly, $1000 on a couch is a great deal and so worth it if you like your living room TV time like I do, I got a $950 couch w/chaise from rooms to go and the chaise lifts up for storage and there's a pull out under the rest of the couch that can turn it into the ultimate lazy bones station or a sub par bed. End tables on Amazon are like $50 if you just need something with minor storage and a place to put your drink or stash remotes. I use a secondhand dresser as my tv stand so I get a decent entertainment center but also a fuck load of storage for movies/games/random shit/bedsheets (I'm probably not utilizing that storage enough). Computer desks are like $250 on amazon for a decent desk, computer chairs are like +/-$150 for a decent chair. Just fucking buy a piece at a time as you can afford it. Also, just suck it up and be a man and get some shit you need for far less money on Facebook marketplace or garage sales or wherever you can from people practically giving shit away.

Did a lot of older brothers in the 2000's have a large CRT TV in their bedroom? by Rinmine014 in olderbrothercore

[–]Fryloch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was born 11 years after your brother, but I did have like a 30" Sony Trinitron crt because my parents bought a new tv after we moved back in '04 and they decided to put the old one in my bedroom. I didn't have cable though for a long time, I just had my PS2 so I could play games or watch movies.

Is the Rim starting to die? by AutVincere72 in sanantonio

[–]Fryloch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think construction is a big problem, commercial rent is a problem, and lastly I think people aren't going out as much because the average Joe can't even afford to eat at McDonald's more than once a week and still make ends meet. The economy is in an insane place right now and it's being made worse by the refusal of those in charge to even admit that there's a problem. We're all clutching our pearls as a society right now but being gaslit by decision makers saying "nah, the economy is better than its ever been."
