Gorgeous! Do you have some background in art or design? I'd be clueless as to how to approach this!
@MrSkovdal14 сағат бұрын
Thank you very much! No, none. I did play around with Photoshop in my younger days, nothing serious. Other than that, I'm just a landscape gardener and not even designing stuff, just doing the dirty work 😉 Maybe I'm letting all my artistic skills out in my game room.. I am really enjoying it and love to design and get everything to add up and "connect" the entire room. I often take the aesthetics into account before anything 😅 We are all different in what we want and like, but you can always DM me if you need a third-person perspective for some inspiration or ideas 👍

Did you catch my latest room tour video? ❤️ I don't remember mentioning the PVM in this video (but my memory often fails me 😅) it was hidden away until I could figure out how to integrate it into the game room. Hopefully, I'll have it up and running this winter 🤞Really miss the retro play setup an old CRT can bring to the game.

@@MrStrangermoon Art is a way to express ideas and feelings through a physical medium. In my case, I've created an 'art piece' by designing a storage solution for my videogame collection and the games within. We all have different perspectives on what art is and that's perfectly fine. You may prefer the looks of Sega games, and that's your opinion. However, my setup isn't about showcasing every game system or the gaming history of the world - and if I said that, it was a misspeak. It's about displaying my collection in a way that I find visually appealing and the games I enjoy. My art collection 😉

@@MrStrangermoon Rich man room?! Please define what that is? But I will take that as a compliment! I limit my collection because I don't need more games or systems that I don't care about! There's over 300 games on those shelves and that's still way too many games already. Again it's your opinion on the looks of the shelves. I find that my shelves fit all systems I have and they all look good. NOT only the black PS1. And again I wouldn't add the Sega system to MY setup even if it was the most beautiful thing in the world. You know why? Because I don't care about Sega...

Good concept, that I have similarly applied. I recently also limited myself artificially in my own office. I now choose to collect only good first party (or close to) Nintendo titles in a large bookshelf and only on that one. I buy less but only boxed, except for the NES which is too expensive boxed and look nice loose, and non players choice games. For SFC N64 and GC + GB GBC GBA, I sold my PAL copies and moved to japanese boxed games, with a lot of pleasure, they look so nice and I made a nice check back from selling my PAL collection of those. I resold most of the loose copies I had and various games I had no connections to that I only collected for the sake of collecting, which I am now against. For Wii WiiU and Switch I have stayed with PAL (French) while the prices are still resonable. I cheated a bit by having my PS1/2/3 collection and my boxed collection of every console stored in my room at my parents house, but I do plan on doing the same thing with the SONY collection at some point once I finish Nintendo, adding just another bookshelf. I am contemplating selling most of my SEGA stuff that I accumulated over the years without any nostalgia for it as well, someone else would enjoy more than me the SEGA stuff I own.

This looks awesome! I feel like Players choice and platinum games can look alright as long as they're all on their own seperate thing from the normal game cases. Like having Gamecube games, then your players choice titles right next to it still on the same shelf.
@MrSkovdalАй бұрын
Thank you 🙏 Yeah, if they were on separate shelves, it would look good. Having them on the same shelf separately, even in alphabetical order, would mess it up for me. Some of the Player's Choice/Platinum editions are better displayed than others. For instance, the PS1, PS3, and GameCube versions have a flat and bad color choice compared to the standard versions. On the other hand, the Wii and Wii U editions are more discreet (on the spine, at least).

I try to avoid collecting for the sake of collecting, but its very tempting. I am currently talking myself out of collecting wireless-mod retro controllers lol I have a N64 and a SNES wireless-modded controller, but im very tempted to purchase the mod kits for a NES and Gamecube controller as well even though I rarely emulate those systems. I just think they would look cool on display, but only so much space for decorative things. I think your display is very nice looking, not cluttered btw. I think there is a fine line of collecting vs cluttering and a lot of it is defined by how big your space is; too much stuff in a small space looks awful but so does too few things in a large space imo.
@MrSkovdalАй бұрын
There are so many rabbit holes to avoid, so I know the feeling 😅 So the modding is done on a original controller? Actually never thought about that. Always just buy a wireless third party controller 🙈 If it’s only for the looks, check out my corner controller stand for my n64 controllers. They are with wires and original, but the stands really hide the cables good. I hate cables! but never really notes them 😊

Agree with all. Most hardware gonna die in 100 if not 50 years and the truth is that we are just collecting art in cardboard/plastic boxes for display. Mostly every game can be downloaded and played in order to not compromise the delicate hardware in it and we can just focus on things that we had or never had and enjoy.
