[Stiflers Mom]

I have a huge collection of D&D rules books on display for everyone to see.

 

[888]

Main areas of the house are a normal decor. Loft entertainment area has Vinyl records on display. My office/race room has shelves of old consoles.

Gotta keep it separated from the main areas in my place.

My wife and I are massive RE4 fans. Such that we have a wall covering cloth banner of Leon hung right next to our bed, and on the other side is a statue of Leon, and a statue of Geralt. That's right, Leon and Geralt watch me in bed with my wife.....wonder how critical Geralt is of my technique.

Our car is also basically covered in Metal Gear Solid, MegaMan X, Final Fantasy, Studio Ghibli, Street Fighter, Resident Evil, and Witcher decals.

I wear subtle gaming stuff on occasion out and about, but not loud "gamery" stuff very often. I have two black beanies, one with a Zelda shield and the other with a Witcher medallion. I wear a Cuphead shirt pretty often because I like the fit and I love that game's art style.

We also have basically every amiibo released up until about a year ago, we just kind of fell off collecting them. They're displayed basically everywhere throughout the house, upstairs and downstairs.

I'm also very seriously considering paying an artist to paint Guile, Zangief, Chun Li, Akuma, Ken, Hugo, Sagat, E.Honda, Bison, Alex, Urien, and Dudley on the walls of my home gym.

You might say we wear our shit on our sleeve too OP

That's a very errm male centric line up you have in the bedroom.

 

[brap]

those things look so fucking retarded i swear

 

[kingwingin]

Nothing says "I hate sex" like a wall of funko pops

 

[Kimahri]

I have big, expensive collectible dinosaurs on display all around the house. Even got some og jurassic park kits. Best part? Wife doesn't mind, at all.

 

[kretos]

I don't collect these stuff i would be embarrassed if someone visits my house and saw it

I told her she'd fuck Geralt and Leon if they were real. She never said I was wrong or that she wouldn't, her exact words, every fucking time, were "they're not real you idiot, I'd never cheat!" .......Didn't say I was wrong, just that they're not real.







I'm not saying I'm insecure that she's gonna meet someone who looks like Geralt or Leon......but I am saying that I hope she never meets someone that looks like Geralt or Leon.

My buddy John would be in heaven at your place. He's about to be 50 lol, but goddamn is he into some D and D. One of the physically strongest dudes I've ever known too, got a back you could chop veggies on. For some weird ass reason, most D and D players I've known in my life are also strong as fuck.....don't really know why that is. I always stereotyped them as overweight nerds as a kid, then when I was in the Army I subtly came to the realization that half the dudes in the gym are closet nerds. Made me feel a little bit better about my geeky tendencies in a way, and ever since, (I've been out of the Army for nine years now), I've stopped feeling any sort of shame or weirdness about my comic and game love. Fuck it, I like what I like, and my wife seems to be ok with it, so why would I give a fuck if anyone else is?

 

[DGrayson]

I have gotten rid of or sold most of my collections. Now I just have a pretty large trade paperback/absolute/omnibus comics collection (450+ books) and I like to build PCs I currently have 4 of them around the house as well as a raspberry pi or 2.

My extensive WikiFeet browser history

We need to have the talk with OmegaSupreme .

 

[Stouffers]

Seriously. I have a bookshelf in my living room full of pops. Not sequestered in a nerd cave. On full display. I'm 38. What's your little nerd guilty pleasures gaf? Do you collect big boobie anime figurines? Matchbox cars? Hummels?

That’s not a “little nerd guilty pleasure.” More like metastasized cringe.

@peso

I've got a few issues of "Weird Tales" magazine lying around somewhere and some pulp crime erotica novels. God, I love that stuff.

That ass is looking really nice in Never Say No.

 

[Cunth]

my apartment is just an empty box

no mention of her feets?

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Pop figures are the worst kinds of figures that exist. Like bro you couldn't spend 10-20 more bucks on a Figma?

 

[Dirk Benedict]

I'd hit those, too.

I am 46 years old now, and back then there was no "nerds/geeks culture" thing going on.
Playing Tabletop RPGs like D&D was just something I did along playing video games on my Amiga but I also did a lot of skateboarding and going to a lot of parties and punk/hardcore concerts.

I don't actively play D&D anymore, but I still like reading about rules and stuff. It's really a great hobby, though. Basically impro acting without a stage while drinking beer with friends and having a great time together in some shared fantasy space.

(add/edit: just remembered that the mom of my second son was also a table top RPGer in her youth, so we had something to talk about before we had sex on our first date back in the day... haha. And I can tell you she was quite hot. So, it's really not only nerds playing TT RPGs).

 

[IDKFA]

The only thing I collect are books. My collection ranging from all types of fiction and nonfiction, including biology, history, politics, philosophy, physics, cosmology and nature writing are all on proud display in my front room.

It is the only thing I collect. I love reading and have a real thirst for knowledge, plus reading has a whole host of health benefits attached to it. Although I read for pleasure, I am also a collector, so will seek out rare books and special edition/first edition hardcovers where I can.

I am certainly building up enough books to call my collection a mini personal library. It's becoming a vast collection of human culture and knowledge that I'll keep adding to until the day I die.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Everyone has a virgin shelf. I have like seven.

 

[Lanrutcon]

Let's see. In my living room you can see:
- Collection of cheesy 80s/90s Sci-Fi/Action movies
- Warhammer 40k figures
- Tabletop RPG books from various systems
- A few empty delivery boxes of random RPG crap that we can't throw away because the cats have claimed them
- Various PC peripherals from coop gaming sessions (the wireless mice are breeding I just know it)
- An ancient copy of Elric that I swear I will read one day

Oh yeah I totally get that now. Honestly, if anything, most D and D players I've met are extremely charming, fun, well adjusted people. Don't know why I stereotyped them like I did, but I was just a really stupid kid man. Now I'm a slightly less stupid man like thing, so I'm learning that D and D is actually pretty rad. I honestly wanna try it one day, but I don't know how to get started now. I should get John to start a game and help us through it. My wife said she wants to give it a shot as well, and my daughter loves anything that's imaginative, so we could maybe do it as a family, sounds like a fun family kind of thing. I'm actually bummed I was so weird about playing as a kid and worrying about whether I'd look cool or not if I did certain things. I imagine I let a lot of experiences pass me by because I was ashamed for whatever reason, but I'm past that shit now and I wanna try everything I missed as a kid due to my weird insecurities. Looking forward to giving table top gaming a try at some point though for sure.

 

[JimiNutz]

When I was younger I used to think this shit was so cringe and I suppose it is... But I also have respect for someone that gives zero fucks and embraces the person that they really are.

If you like plastic pop toys or whatever then fair play to you. Extra points if you're not a self hating virgin as well.

 

[VN1X]

My most priced possession is the Kasumi figurine. It is extremely high quality and I got it at Radio Kaikan in Akihabara.

Is that one of those that you jizz over?

 

[mcz117chief]

Not me, what others do with theirs is their business.

Damn, I can barely fit 3 in my basement.

 

[MudoSkills]

I bought about a dozen Nendoroids during the pandemic, the weebier more expensive Funko Pop.

Saving a bunch of money this year, so why not waste it on some shit I enjoy looking at?

 

[IfuckinghateReddit]

My guilty pleasure is burning people's POP figure collections. Where do you live again?

 

[GaijinZero]

Just got a cork board with all my concert tickets on it here

 

[Noboru Wataya]

All my nerdy virgin weeaboo shit is safely hidden away in my dork cave where it belongs. Its like the ghostbusters containment unit. If that shit was to leak out into the living room it would be a disaster of biblical proportions, old testament, real wrath of god type stuff. Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies, rivers and seas boiling, 40 years of darkness, earthquakes, volcanos, the dead rising from the grave, human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!

 

[Bullet Club]

I also have a bunch of Funko Pops, which includes a Simon Le Bon Pop.

 

[EverydayBeast]

 

[OmegaSupreme]

I'd be impressed if those ever actually sold for that.

Edit: I love that some also want to charge shipping on top of the ludicrous price lmao. What scum.

i honestly have more respect for people who collect anime pillows

You act like there's something wrong with anime pillows. Don't shame.

[JSoup]

I have several nice piles of dusty disorganized nonsense around the house.

 

[deafmedal]

We have a few (lolol) Pop’s scattered throughout the house, all out of boxes because that’s how I roll (I keep the boxes in the closet of my music room). Favs include Robot Devil, Macho Man, Han Solo frozen in carbonite, Protectron, Garrus... We actually went to the Funko headquarters in Everett WA this past summer, that was quite fun!

My wife doesn’t mind if I show stuff in the living room, the fireplace mantle gets changed up often- once I had a Mass Effect set up going on with various different things I’ve picked up over the years. Several years back I had an old Lionel train set attached to Lego peg boards on plywood with a Lego town set up on the dining room table, she let me keep that up for a couple years before she wanted her dining room back.

We have a sizable collection of Lego mini figs on display in a niche by the fireplace, I recently moved all my 4k and video game discs/boxes into the bedroom and plan to find space for the books currently in the same niche to display other stuffs.

Last year I discovered that I really like TOOL posters, I picked up one at each show we attended save Aftershock during the Fear Inoculum tour including a signed one from our ‘hometown’ show in ATX... well I guess I actually picked up 2 at each show and used the extras to trade for other posters. I bought the most desirable poster directly from Alex Gray for my wife, sold a couple of the extras on ebay to fund that one and got a couple really cool ones in trade on reddit.

We’d love the Aftershock one but it’s rare, we bought a poster with the design used directly from the artist in place of until I can get my hands on the TOOL poster. I don’t mind having posters from shows I didn’t attend but t-shirts are a different story. I generally try to buy a shirt at each show I go to, my recent TOOL shirts have matching art with the posters which is neat. She even said once we’ve framed the posters I can put a couple in the living room if I want!

But wait! That’s not all... shot glasses, bottle opener/magnets from trips we’ve taken, various keychains and cute little plushies and figurines from esty artists can be found here and there as well.

You might say we wear our shit on our sleeve too

Quite literally in my case. If one might think my house and/or clothing is max cringe don’t look too closely at my large collection of tattoos
