I really dislike most of the "battlestation" stuff I see online—if you're not familiar with the term, I it's associated with people posting pictures of their PC gaming rigs. But most if it is just too clean! Influencer chic, streamer house style with flawless cable management and no indication that somebody actually plays games or works there.

When I see a desk with some clutter or like, something weird propping up the monitor, I know it's real. It's more beautiful to me than the smoothest, most LED RGB hypebeast thing. Basically, my ideal setup is the PC equivalent of the Satoru Iwata Saw basement station.
