Share a picture of where you work on your future gaming masterpiece!

Here's my current setup (for work and Evennia, some gaming etc):

• Thinkpad p43s (15" screen, meant to be mobile, but with COVID, it has become mostly stationary). Runs Linux Mint Cinnamon with i3 window manager (minimal mouse need).
• Separate stationary workstation for art/gaming etc (Runs Linux Mint Cinnamon and standard manager)
• Dell Ultrasharp 25" monitor (rotated 90 degrees for coding)
• Dell Ultrasharp 27" monitor
• Wacom Cintiq 16 (for artwork)
• Das Keyboard mechanical keyboard (Blue Cherry MX switches)
• MouseTrapper mechanical mousepad (instead of moving hand to mouse when needed)
• Voxicon 'Gaming mechanical keyboard' (for art program shortcuts and some gaming)
• Some other stuff, like sound system and printer out of frame
• On a raisable desk (from IKEA of course! ;) )

Here is my setup. I still need to build a stand/cabinet for my new desktop, but I haven't felt like doing any woodworking lately. The posters are from the JPL and can be downloaded and printed (like I've done).

[Griatch]

A nice, compact setup. Those JPL posters are classic -looks nice there. That's a wiiiide monitor! 😮

Oh man, you guys are so organized and neat. Makes me kind of jealous.

I just moved into my house a few months ago. I haven't had a chance to clutter my office yet. Before this, I was living in a school bus and traveling around:

The bus was considerably more cluttered inside:

[Griatch]

Heh, that's quite a difference compared to your current workspace's tidyness, indeed. 😄

I like the big bottle of glass cleaner always at hand. I'm sure it's to keep the view out the window as pristine as possible. 😜

@Griatch What's this thing you got between your keyboard and tablet for?

[Griatch]

@kovitikus It's technically a 'gaming keyboard' - basically the left side of a regular keyboard with the WASD keys and some of the most common keys used for gaming (the big round button on the bottom left is the space key).
I mainly use it to group shortcut keys in a central place when drawing though - I can use it with the left hand while drawing with the right (it has a big, confy palm rest too). Also useful since I switch the main keyboard between two computers and may occationally have it switched to another one than the drawing table is linked to.

A nice setup! You forgot to list the brand of your pair of scissors though. 👅

A nice setup! You forgot to list the brand of your pair of scissors though. 👅

Funny you mention that. I love them and I was considering listing them for fun.

I don't have a link, since I bought them randomly at Walmart and I haven't seen this exact model there again, but they are Fiskars. I would never buy any other brand of scissors. They are the best.

Ok I lied, I found a link on the manufacturer's site.

[Griatch]

Fiskars is a Scandinavian brand (Finnish) so you have good taste in scissors, I'll give you that. 🙂

The pen is Uni-Ball Classic. Their pens are reliable and competitively priced. I bought a box of them years ago and never had one die on me prematurely.

I guess the fact that they are a Japanese company explains their reliability.

Uni-ball and Uni are brands of pens and pencils, made by the Mitsubishi Pencil Company Limited (三菱鉛筆株式会社, Mitsubishi Enpitsu Kabushiki Gaisha) of Japan. The brand was introduced in 1979 as a rollerball pen model, then expanding to the rest of Mitsubishi Pencil products.

Oooo what fun, here the home of Aagonar, soon to change need to one monitor to vertical because why not!

[Griatch]

I like that raised monitor in the center! Yeah, having a vertically rotated monitor is very nice for coding.

The initial incarnation of the taviMUD lab in my business space... pending a move of the desk an monitors into the smaller albeit vacant office on the other side of my waiting room.

My work area has gotten a bit antisocial, but at least I have lots of toys to keep me from going insane with boredom during tele-meetings.
