what makes you think that? there's a ton of Xbox / Gamecube games there which suggests it's a built up collection. Also there are no flatscreens, they started becoming prevalent in the mid / late 00s. Nor is there an xbox 360, wii or PS3.
I think that 04 / 05 is probably a correct date for this picture, and everything in it seems to suggest that as far as i can tell.

Yep, the absolute shithole pile of crap literally everywhere makes sense. My Japanese wife and mother in law can't tidy a fucking house if they had guns to their heads, just piles of motherfucking random shit everywhere until they know company is coming over.

Why not? Printers arent turned on 90% of the time. They just take up space. Best to put it on a shelf that isn't important or used often.

It's not just a nip problem, old programmers, professors and engineers do this a lot. Piles of reference manuals for out of date dogshit that they haven't used in two decades. All for show.

>>11064884
>All for show.
Or more likely, they never know when they might need those materials again, especially given the nature of their jobs requires referencing older materials. Not all people are hopeless normalfaggots trying to show off for no reason than to placate their egos.

>>11064590
My house got way dustier after my father bought a new (used) dryer, and the dust took on a distinctly laundry-like scent. It gave me such a severe negative Pavlovian response to the smell that to this day I refuse to use dryer sheets, and only use a small amount of detergent for clothes.

Do you live in the same house as you did back then? If you live in an area with more pollution/traffic or if your house has different ventilation etc then your house can get more dusty.

It's fun to disagree with people on the internet but yeah, but I'd probably concur with with that estimation.

You're talking to the same people who make snarky comments about urbanites. These things probably are fancy by the standards of the podunk town in the middle of nowhere that they live in.

I still have this desk, but I had to nail in a block of wood to support the weight of a singular GDM-FW900. It is not rated to support the weight of two, so I am looking to replace it once I can save up enough for a place and a new desk.
