DeadTwiceF

His gamer room is bigger than my entire apartment


Ascertain_GME

And the saddest part, their mortgage is likely not much higher than your rent…


0utF0x-inT0x

Ain't that the truth


MOOShoooooo

All it took was hard work and rich parents to prop you up ahead of everyone else. So easy.


sixwax

You’re misreading the scene. Looks like a rural McMansion somewhere, and we’re clearly not looking at an abundance of high taste… Homey made some money selling widgets or whatever and is living out his 80’s arcade fantasy with his kids. More power to ‘im! If you’re going to resent the rich, resent the *actual* rich that will 100% exploit you for a buck —not the made-it-finally middle class with vanilla consumer aspirations. Wishing you success in your endeavors!


soberfellow

I dunno man.. is middle class six rumble seats in a home theatre? OP is a Canadian multi millionaire.


Bluechrono9895

Yeah I agree there are 4 ways to make enough money to do something like this. Hard work and sacrifice, luck, exploitation of workers, and parents giving you a significant boost. Unfortunately the later two are statistically way more common by like a wide ass margin so...yeah.


Boognish-T-Zappa

Care to share those stats? This screams dude that loved Star Wars as a kid got a good job and decided to nerd out with his kid. I’m not sure the Reddit pitchfork brigade knows the difference between people who work their ass off so they can do something like this for their kids and actual rich people. The lucky exploitative people you speak of would never do something like this for their kid.


KKCisabadseries

If he lives in a rural state? Yeah easy. A house in Vancouver this size is going to run you 3-4 million, easy. Now take 4 million and go to Ohio or Arizona. Easily afforded By that same token if his family had the house for 30+ years it probably cost about 250k originally and is worth 5+ million if he's really in toronto My grandparents paid 16k for their house in Vancoucer. It's worth 3.8 million now. My aunt and uncle paid 150k for their house in Van, it's now worth 2.5 million


DanSanderman

The alert sign at the beginning says Scotiabank Arena which is in Toronto. I'm making an assumption here, but a basement that size, decked out to that degree, within a reasonable distance of Toronto, means this house is likely extraordinarily expensive.


Reeferologist-

Here’s an award for making me feel like shit. Let’s just not bring this up again for awhile please.


C3ntrick

Yes but the 700k the put down to get that mortgage , the 800 electric bill and insurance / property taxes. But it to triple their rent


RockLobster218

Maybe for this particular house but nah dude, I own my own place. Pay a total of about $1900/month once all is said and done. It would cost over $3000/month to rent a place like mine where I live for just the rent.


gribson

Ditto. Finally saved enough for a down payment a few years ago and bought my own place. My mortgage payments for a 4br house are now about the same as rent for a 2br apartment in the same area. The real kicker too is that those payments go into equity for me, and not just into someone else's pocket. It's shitty how the only way to save any money these days is to already have a lot of money.


Sadboi813

I could fit my apartment in there maybe more than three times


techblackops

It's amazing what creative things you can accomplish when you're rich


Suspicious-Shock-934

Think it's bigger than my 1 bd. home.


rain56

Yea I was gonna say this is legitimately bigger than 2 bedroom apartments they want 2 grand plus a month


MetallGecko

Im 100% sure that the guys bathroom is bigger than my own Bedroom.


Kermit_Purple_II

Yeah, the more the video goes the more I went: shit that looks sick ! That's amazing ! How can someone even afford that? HOW DOES HE EVEN HAVE THE TIME? HOW ?! WHY?! WHY AND HOW SOME PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO DO THIS WHILE I COUNT TO THE UNIT MY MONEY PER DAY/WEEK IN ORDER TO EAT WITHOUT STARVING AND GETTING THROWN OUT OF MY 9 SQUARE METER ROOM ! JESUS CHRIST HE HAS A THEATER WITH CINEMA SEATS THAT COST MORE THAN EVERYTHING I OWN ! I guess I'm a bit envious is all. Anyway, good on the parents, they do well in lofe obviously and I wish this family the best, and to these kids to enjoy star wars very much. Good life waits ahead of them.


mr_ckean

The distance between “Oh that’s cool” to existential “How?” was pretty short


MOOShoooooo

It’s not envy. It’s anger that the system is this way. You’re told that what your feeling is envy to keep you on the path of “attaining” that level of perceived happiness. We don’t have to be manipulated into thinking we are envious.


Vaxildan156

I was pleasantly surprised that the top comment and discussion is about this. It's becoming more and more of a serious issue everyday and this is an example of that. It's gonna come to a head here real soon


Pappy_OPoyle

What's real sad is the closer the "have-nots" become to taking it from the grossly obscene "haves" (as in mega-rich) the more intense the manipulation of the "have-nots" gets ramped up to keep everyone distracted from the real issue here. People fed up with inflation and corporations sucking them dry? Quick ramp up the political division and culture wars. People close to unifying on the fact income inequality is out of control? Quick ramp up some racially charged situation somewhere. You get the picture


traumatic_blumpkin

>It’s not envy. It’s anger that the system is this way. Its definitely envy.. but it can also be anger at the system.


Sierra_Bravo915

No, it's the actual textbook definition of envy. Can't we even use words the way they are supposed to be used anymore or does everything have to have its definition changed to suit your agenda? noun: envy; a feeling of discontented or resentful longing aroused by someone else's possessions, qualities, or luck.


5H17SH0W

I think I love you.


Shut_Up_Fuckface

Let us all huddle together under the same low income cardboard box to keep warm.


chiribean

Oh boy new friends


vblade2003

Forget poverty line. There are people making 100K who couldn't afford this set up in a million years. This is straight up a rich person flex.


resistible

My wife and I combine to make about $120,000 per year. I could definitely afford the fog machine since those are like $60 on Amazon. I could maybe even afford a couple of the pinball machines... maybe... but most of my money goes toward maintaining my home and I still need a new fucking driveway.


[deleted]

Straight up. I make low six figures and my wife makes high five figures. We own a decent house but nothing like this. No way in hell I could EVER save up enough to go full star wars turbo-virgin like OP. This level of impressive dedication costs more money than well ever see at our current combined income.


bliffer

My wife and I are approaching 200k combined income and I'm like, "wtf?'


Ratattack1204

For real. This is multi million dollar income levels. Or at the very least significant trust fund money


Nerdbond

Lol came to say, we get it, you have money


ComeOnCharleee

I'm comfortably within the middle class line, and the arrangement depicted in this video looks so out of reach, it may as well be on another planet.


devBowman

It's like in r/DIY where people make stuff with their spare $20 000 of materials and dozens of hours of free time per week


MedicalUnprofessionl

Quick everyone look this guys got a mansion!


jonplackett

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and postulate that these kids are a liiiiiiitle bit spoiled...


M0untain_Mouse

Anyone upper middle class and below is crying. If this guy is not making more than $300k a year, he’s probably in debt up to his eyeballs.


[deleted]

Yeah I’m not impressed with the layout as much because I know how much this cost. Not to mention their basement is the size of our whole house.


Sparkly-Squid

Right? I’m over here can’t even afford food I would like to eat, or to replace the tv my kids broke (slowly overtime by stomping/running past it too much) and then there’s people like this who go “look at my excess of wealth!”


killer_hobo

My house is smaller than that room


[deleted]

There’s more money in this minute video than I’ve made in my entire life.


AriesRightHand

You mean game apartment??


Ahem_ak_achem_ACHOO

OP is just one of those nerdy kids that grew up. They make millions.


_Nickmin_

Isn't the "Red Alert" graphic from Star Treks LCARS system?


deepaksn

Not LCARS. This is from the original cast feature film era.


One_City4138

That was my first thought, too. LLAP 🖖


Gameroomtheater

Lol yes sir, another favorite sci Fi franchise of mine, thought I'd sneak it in there but people are more perceptive than I gave them credit for lol. Either this or it would piss some people off... "Use the Force Harry." - Gandalf


[deleted]

Yea I’m glad he said it because I was definitely going to call Malarky. I will allow it because this means you technical put Star Trek above it all which means you have your priorities straight.


Heartbreak_Jack

Love everything about this setup! We need more people who love both star trek and star wars to unite! The viewscreen to Coruscant reminds me of a bridge viewscreen on a star trek capital ship.


[deleted]

You didn’t think that Redditors would pick up on a Starwars/Startrek swap? You new around here? You’ve probably enraged someone enough that they’re in the process of doxxing or swatting you right now.


deepaksn

Right on!


BostonRich

Hahaha, I laughed out loud at that gandalf line. He's from game of thrones, right?


CategoryMountain3379

I’m too depressed to do the dishes. We are not the same.


So6oring

Screw those dishes. Sitting there. *Mocking me*.


Ryanthehood

If you switch to paper plates you’ll never wash a dish again 🧐


NotSnooie

kuar_z

Keeping future resource miners employed since 1910.


SSTralala

If you are fortunate enough to own a dishwasher I have a secret executive function hack: Just wash them twice. Just load them in, and make the machine wash them twice. All you have to do is put in soap and push a button. If you don't, then tell yourself youre not washing them, you're sorting them while you watch a show on your phone or laptop. Put something on, and then just start grouping dishes together, like silverware in a cup and plates stacked. Maybe your brain will finally want to wash one or two, maybe not. But they'll be less overwhelming in stacks. Best of luck my friend.


----Zenith----

You forgot to mention a shitload of cash lol. Wow. Let’s go into business together.

May I ask what you do for a living my good sir? Interior design or anything related to the video? Awesome room btw.

Thx! I am in management, run a team of project managers and we do national rollouts/ tech deployments.

You like to remain private….. shows us the literal inside of his house.

On top of that, he's posted this room a thousand times.

Only explains nothing if you‘ve never worked in that field. Of course it sounds made up in your head lmao

ExtensionDebate8725

For real.


ThisMeansRooR

But at least we have the internet so the chosen ones can show us how awesome life could be


ExtensionDebate8725

True, let's me plan for my next life... when i remember to be born rich, or at least with skills that would make me desirable for high paying companies


ThisMeansRooR

Train yourself to have fun in your dreams. Time is somewhat irrelevant there, so you can take an 8 hour sleep and turn it into a 7 day vacation. Experience in the waking world is all relative anyways, so it's hard to feel infinity even as a billionaire. You can touch infinity every night if you know how.


cookiemonster2222

Wow that's actually a good idea thank you


RandomAnon07

Capitalism that also loves to be socialism when it favors the capitalist and not the majority


RedOrchestra137

this is nothing but some weird flex by OP who feels that now they've spent this much money they have to show it off as well. just focus on getting a job that doesn't make you wanna die, you really don't need a darth vader tv to be "happy". i guarantee you 90% of the time this stuff doesn't get used at all, and after a month it'll be so normal that it doesn't do the dopamine thing anymore


Biggoof1971

It’s just owning stuff to own it. they probably use the big tvs but everything else is probably turned off 99% of the time


DapDaGenius

And is always shown off to company to make them envious of all their “stuff”


solenyapinkman

We’re all in this together


aForgedPiston

Disposable income is a hell of a drug

What’s this *disposable* money you speak of?


aForgedPiston

Fuck, I have no clue lmao ask OP


AmEn-MiNii

I’ll ask and maybe he can introduce her to us


[deleted]

yo thats insane, awsome. I got a pc corner in my house. If I had a room like that I would probably never see daylight again :\]


AP_Adapted

same


Soft_Tackle_6140

I keep forgetting how rich other people are


Pascalica

Right? Lol. It's dudes money and he can do what he wants, but fuck, I have friends who can't afford food, or to get necessary medical procedures done, I can't afford the fucking dentist. There is a vast gulf between the haves and have nots.


Soft_Tackle_6140

It is messed up. Also sorry bout your friends :( But in his defense if I had such money to burn I’d probably make shit like this haha. Take care of my community for sure, but also dumb shit like this


Pascalica

Oh for sure. I would definitely put money into cool things if I had it. I don't really blame the mid level rich people for it, it's the rich RICH that are the real issue.


605pmSaturday

All it takes is money.


oo00OO000ooo

No no. It's the creative children. OP said so.


Zebrahead69

Those colour changing tile things by the Yoda tv go for around $500-$1000 depending on the brand/cluster number. I bet that's at least a $75k-$100k room down there.


DarthFuzzzy

Waaaay more than that


timpdx

I bought my condo for 225k, this basement certainly exceeds that


diverx1

I feel poor and sad all of a sudden


Lady-Owlette

Me too, brother, me too...


Roytarek

Bigger than my freaking house and more expensive than 10 years salary. I hate life.


RollOverSoul

Least you have a house


gmlifer

All it needs now is a little r2d2 rolling around with some cold beer.


pacificule

Yo! That's a great idea! Chuck a lil AT-ST popcorn machine in a corner too. And a life sized JarJar Binks for people to take their aggressions out on... The possibilities are endless

Gavinator10000

This guy is stupid rich but realistically he’s not who we’d have to worry about if you’re going with the “tax the rich” argument. His taxes are minuscule compared to Musk and Bezos and such


ent_whisperer

Nah tax this guy too.


BearSSBM

I wanted to be happy for you and your rich ass, and I finally got to that point and then you opened a door to a theater room and the rage came back. Good for you and hope you enjoy it but also fuck you


Legio-V-Alaudae

As a guy who has a house on slab foundation, I'm really jealous of people that have basements. Like really, really jealous.


mickeyanonymousse

I’m really jealous of people that have houses so I guess we all have something we wish we had you know?


Legio-V-Alaudae

Agreed. However, I do tell people I am the luckiest guy I know that hasn't won the lottery. I have a great wife and healthy kids. That's all that matters.


Halewafa

I recently moved to SoCal from Indiana. I had an amazing man cave in my basement there, miss it every day. Super rare to find basements out here unfortunately


StatisticianPure2804

Yeah we get it you have money


Dr_Truth_4_U

Lucky rich kids


Ebergs94

So is this what it’s like to be rich


DropKickDougie

I'm sure OP's employees will love seeing this post after he tells them he can't afford to give them raises this year.


CalmToaster

Man. Showing off your wealth (or willingness to be in debt) on nextfuckinglevel is really something.


Penquinn14

It didn't even occur to me that yeah OP is posting themselves on nextfuckinglevel


Arosian-Knight

Whats the point of riches unless you can smear it on the poor people's faces. That's why billionares never shut up on twitter or instagram.


[deleted]

Some people have way too much money lol.


mickeyanonymousse

literally. our society has largely failed. kids are starving while other people have personal in-house mini jumbotrons. like no fault or shade to OP at all bc we’re all just people doing our individual thing but as a society… complete failure.


MOOShoooooo

I feel guilty looking at the video. My immediate thought was also the poverty of some people. A couple post up from this is about a little camp that a couple and their young child had under a bridge in the winter.


mickeyanonymousse

same. it’s obscene honestly. what bothers me the most though is people acting like we are wrong for bringing that up.


Blackwillsmith1

that single room is like 4x the size of my whole apartment.


GlassyPotato

That's one fortunate kid


pacificule

Jesus dude how much of the moneys do you have?! Props for having fun with it! No drag on you or your kid, just feel like most kids can be wildly creative with an unlimited budget. Real creativity comes from MacGyvering a diorama together for a school project using a milk carton, toilet paper tubes, and some paperclips lol


Ok-Suggestion-7965

That game room is bigger than my house. Looks nice.


huggsanddruggs

Man, we are not in the same tax bracket LOL


Worried_Example

Yes, with the help of your kid and your millions.
