Hey everyone. My name is Nicholas and I make videos most about my experiences with minimalism, frugal living, tech, and things of that nature 🌱. So if that sounds good to you consider subscribing and I'll see you in the next one ✏️

back to 2016 when overwhelming setups were the meta,seems like now the trend is cozy and minimalistic setups

[@MinimalisTech]

Eyyyy dope setup. not gonna lie, you're making me wanna minimalize my desk setup again. Absolutely love this desk setup.

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thanks dude!

[@joetruman5777]

Would love to see a minimalism approach to diet. What you have daily, if it changes much & favourite foods.

[@NicholasGarofola]

Noted!

[@joetruman5777]

Make it happen, Nick. Great content mate, look forward to it every time.

[@Oliviaaa1026]

Yes!

[@mustafaaden5333]

Hey brother I like your videos about minimalist. I want ask u a question can a minimalist enjoy Anime or SF6?

[@okidokiyowyow356]

Awesome and clean setup. I play on my tv with ps5 because I don't wanna sit down in front of my desk after working

[@NicholasGarofola]

Completely understand that

[@DavidDavisDH]

I just bought the black version Flexispot OC6 chair, they have $70 off of the black version on Amazon. Right now I'm using a cheap $60 chair when I first got my setup 2 years ago. Thanks for the recommendation, keep up the good work!

[@NicholasGarofola]

Enjoy it!!

[@FrancoAlcudia]

Well that looks so nice, love the simplicity of everything.

[@jackbyrne3198]

I came across this channel a little bit ago when looking for inspiration/motivation for simplifying my lifestyle a bit better, I was in debt, room was full of junk, lack of motivation to do anything, one day i found your channel and I sat and watched a ton of your videos and each one inspired me to do something different or change something about my lifestyle, I got to work, sorted out my room, started exercising, paid off my debts and now I am working to continue building good habits, you have been able to help me do that, so for that I thank you. 🙏

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thanks so much!!

[@KaiTebay]

Your intro never gets old and it always gets me to take a second to like the video-I loved this tour of your gaming setup!

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thanks so much!!

[@lloydirving6209]

I have more of a maximalist gaming setup (CRT tv, ps2, gamecube, snes, n64) on a tv stand with a few shelves

[@NeryGreenwolf]

As a gamer who started the minimalist journey I definitely took notes. Thanks for creating such amazing videos!

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thanks so much!

[@dekarunabh]

Your videos are truly inspiring. Love your content

[@NicholasGarofola]

I appreciate that!

[@EhsanKz]

I've been waiting for this video

[@hibiscusbisque3320]

I love the existential crisis you seem to have every time you give us a unique way to subscribe, like you had no idea what you were saying and you've snapped back to reality

[@NicholasGarofola]

😂 I’ve noticed those pauses getting longer

[@hibiscusbisque3320]

@@NicholasGarofola One day your videos will grow to be 20 minutes and 10 will be spent staring

[@MotorAmerica]

I like the Xbox placement. Very neat

[@TheRealJackArthur]

Rad video man. Keep these style videos coming. I love 'em!

[@NicholasGarofola]

Glad you like them!

[@Andriyapps]

tnx youre video show me the way i want create my setup

[@henrik_jakobsson]

Looks cool!

[@lotusvi]

I love this video!

[@summoner2100]

Oo, under desk for the xbox.. I like that mount. I was going to ask what you did for sound, as I use a soundbar currently and trying to sort mounting. But you answered in video lol

[@NicholasGarofola]

The mount is awesome, I recommend it

[@Futadvisor]

Perfect

[@DavidDavisDH]

I'm the same, I game sometimes and I'm a minimalist. I have a curved 32" for PC gaming. It's hard to find minimalist gamers, most of them are collecting tons of physical video games.

[@nutmeg9593]

Physical games save space on your hard drive plus you own what you buy. No subscriptions required.

[@DavidDavisDH]

@@nutmeg9593 I have 6 terabytes of space, not a problem for me. I also don't do subscriptions, I buy games cheap for Steam.

[@alexpotiodi7024]

Love. It

[@crimpy663]

I remember you saying in one of your digital minimalism videos that you created a new email address and started from scratch. What was your approach to transferring to the new address from the old one?

[@rovm23]

Inspiring as always! What headphones are you using? Do you have any wireless recommendations?

[@NicholasGarofola]

Just the Xbox Wireless headphones!

[@ustinpower]

Luv your video quality it is so fantastic, not only your tone but also your useful content!!! Can I ask what camera you use to shoot the A and B roll, to create so dreamy look~ Thank you for Answering my curiosity.❤

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thanks! Sony a6500

[@ustinpower]

You really did a good job👍🏻

How do you connect your laptop to your monitor?

I’d love to hear your thoughts on a smart watch. I know you don’t wear one. I have for about 10 years now starting with the original Pebble watch and moving to the Apple Watch. I have mixed feelings on it. On the negative end, the little thing collects so much data on me, I don’t even know what to do with it. I’m obsessed with filling those exercise rings to the point where I’m occasionally stressed about it. Everyone around me is wearing one. It used to feel unique, it no longer does, just feels like I’m one of the sheep now. On the more positive end. It allows me to leave me iPhone at home as I can use it sort of as a dumb phone when I’m out. It keeps me motivated to actually stay focused on my fitness goals. I regularly workout anyway, but the Apple Watch keeps me going for a few more minutes if needed. I also keep all notifications off apart from phone calls and texts, so that’s not a problem. My old mechanical watch has been sitting in my drawer on stand by waiting for me to go back to using it. I’ve had maybe 5-6 smart watches in the last decade, they become obsolete or slow, or at some point just visually unappealing. My mechanical watch I think has a timeless design that never really gets old.

[@Mileko-fv5pb]

Love the long hair look. Are you going to do a new day in the life of a minimalist video? How does the new job, look and other things influenced your minimalist lifestyle

[@NicholasGarofola]

Great idea!!

[@Mileko-fv5pb]

Thx. Hope to see it soon. And I also agree you should put diet and maybe relationships in the video. Bring a single gay guy, not that my sexuality matters, but trying to be a minimalist and meeting can be difficult without spending a lot of money on a date.

[@QuikSnoopy]

Did I miss, where is your PC? I know you said it used to be on your desk, is it on the floor or mounted somewhere? Do you use a gaming PC or just a laptop plugged into the monitor?

[@nefairrious]

he plugs a mac into the monitor

[@NicholasGarofola]

Yup, laptop plugged into monitor

[@haokipgoupu277]

Please do a house tour once

[@hubbiemid6209]

this is actually so dope

[@KurozawaSecond]

Hey nice hair dude

[@miaulnir]

I would use a bigger monitor, 4k Tv maybe

[@XByvv9hUjKAqbGGWKJ71ka4i5DRtZN]

you showed your xbox email at 4:10

[@migu-loza]

Now that is 👌🏽

[@rihanakhan6978]

Rocking the Jesus look man😂

[@Mysticbladegod]

I'm a minimalist in everything else except for gaming. I'm fairly invested in retro gaming and physical media because of the crap gaming companies pull.

[@NicholasGarofola]

I agree, not really “owning” digital media is pretty annoying

[@nicknameclarke]

What games do you enjoy playing on Xbox?

[@NicholasGarofola]

Right now I’m playing a lot of Fortnite, Diablo 4, and Warhammer. 👍🏻

[@user-od8wt4jp5i]

Where you hiding the Laptop/PC?

[@NicholasGarofola]

Laptop only stays on desk when it’s plugged into monitor 😄

[@user-od8wt4jp5i]

I have to wait til next autumn to get into gaming. Our summers are too short for engaging in gaming in summer. Great setup though!

Thanks Lars!

I'd be interested in knowing how you repurpose this set up for work.

[@Whigu]

Sadly most youtubers make desk tour videos just to try sell stuff what companies has send for them :-/

[@NicholasGarofola]

I’ve got nothing to gain from anyone buying the stuff I show here, so I don’t really care 😅

[@Whigu]

@@NicholasGarofola Yeah I didn't mean that you are one of those youtubers :-D

[@raulortiz9962]

Meennnn wtf. Are you truly happy or what cause i can see that you have everything basically figure out but the energy that you show is like a little depressive i do truly enjoy your videos but cmon whats going on are you ok!?

[@amymaude5798]

Well, if I must, it would have to be 50 First Dates. I'd feel bad if the SB had to watch it alone, so I'd stay. And it's the only RS movie I can tolerate. Maybe...

[@NicholasGarofola]

That’s more of an AS movie than RS, I like 50 First Dates 😂

damn you look so cute

The desk is cool and all but shoutout to my boy the Harbor Breeze fan remote control on the wall. 🫡
