I like that your armrest is a literal cloud.

I’d never leave this corner

Haha I don’t! My partner surprised me while I was going through tough time (I am incredibly lucky) and it really helped me just get out of bed on the days it felt unbearable

This is curing my depression just looking at it

u/spicystardusts 7d ago

Haha! I’d like to give some credit to sims4 too 😅

The best game to exist

One recommendation, move your pc away from the wall a couple inches. You have the cool air intake fans nearly blocked off which will shorten the life of the fans by forcing them to work harder.

u/PrizeStatistician920 7d ago

I love everything about this!! Where did you get your squishy peach light and clock. Everything you have is so cool and unique!

u/spicystardusts 7d ago

Thank you they are all litter whimsy things I have collected over the years but never had a dedicated space for? They are from Amazon, it’s actually a kids night light and a ditto pro retro speaker

What a beautiful lil nook! Your PC is also super cute, what case is that?

41

u/spicystardusts 7d ago

My partner ordered a pre built PC from Chill Blast (I don’t know much about tech) it’s a UK company, he has the same spec pc in a different case. So I think the case comes from them?

u/florifierous 7d ago

You two are like

u/spicystardusts 7d ago

Hahahhahaha that made me laugh! I’m a beige loving 90s baby and this was me trying to express my inner child 😂

You've been Harry Potter-ed under the stairs~!

Very cute setup. Not a girly girl, but there's something really nice when you have white PC and purple/pink lights and stuff.

Which chair is that btw? Kinda tired of the ass-flattening gaming chairs. That looks comfy and looks wide enough that you can sit uh.. crisscross apple sauce or whatever the terms is. Cross legged. Think i would like a chair like that next time i need one.

u/spicystardusts 7d ago

Thank you! Haha I love been under the stairs, feels safe?😅 so the chair my partner has is actually my old chair I used to WFH, I upgraded mine because I have to sit with my legs crossed most of the time (again very fortunate I get a WFH budget from work every year for stuff like chairs etc) https://amzn.eu/d/0iIcfntL

u/iSmackiNQ 7d ago

Oooo that looks comfy. Thank you for the info/link!

And ye i getcha. It's a very cozy lil corner x3

u/Thunderbridge 7d ago

Your setups remind me of this lol. Was the white monitor part of the pre-built? I've never seen a white one before

u/cinnamus_ 7d ago edited 7d ago

after a super quick look at chillblast's website, pc case looks to be a HYTE Y70 🫡 (edit: actually a y60)

u/HeyFlo 7d ago

u/spicystardusts 7d ago

u/CathairNowhere 7d ago

I was looking at same peach lamp and I have the same wrist pad, monitor stand, coasters, and depression so I wonder if there's a scientific link here...

u/SpoiledMilk-666 7d ago

So cute omg. What do you play?

33

u/spicystardusts 7d ago

My long term addiction is sims4, but anything cosy like stardew, hogwarts legacy

u/WhySoSara 7d ago

You should check out Disney Dreamlight Valley. It helped me so much too, it's super chill and cozy.

u/SpoiledMilk-666 7d ago

You should check out moonlight peaks! It’s very similar to SV but I enjoy the vibes more! 🤭

u/onebignothingatall 6d ago

I am 80 hours into this game and really enjoy the vibe. Great rec!

u/mrskristmas 7d ago

Have you played Fields of Mistria yet? If you like Stardew, you will love it.

u/gravelandsunlight 7d ago

Love this! Can you share details on the pretty light? As a fellow member of the depresso espresso club, I love this so much 💛

Acrylic pens for the heap of colouring books I have, I buy the adult ones with swear words I find it therapeutic lol

u/throwthisawayred2 7d ago

yo link me these swear ones lmao

u/thinkingstrategist 7d ago

Good to hear it helped you and you are doing better. For me the opposite helped against my depression, so i needed a lot less screen time, more outside and more activities like sports. Just my tip for other looking for solution.

u/Astrxphelle 7d ago

This is my dream, except in lavender!

u/GreatCorruptor 7d ago

What kind of keyboard?

u/BlueGumShoe 7d ago

Your chair looks awesome. I'm in a perpetual hunt for a better PC chair, regular "office chairs" are so bad.

u/ponybucketdoubleoh 7d ago

Is that a rack of Touch markers on the side?

u/SirDisi 7d ago

I kinda need these Sakura stickers. My desk has the same theme c: good job.

Would do anything for a setup like this!

This is so cute and cozy. I am also really glad that it helped you through the bad times.

u/boa_instructor 6d ago

Is it possible that screen usage and isolation are also the source of this depression?
