    I wouldn’t last more than 45 min with a setup like that. I’m falling asleep immediately.

    I am over 40, and I still do stuff like that. I always wondered where the line of crossing over from child to adult would be, but I haven’t found it still.

      You’d be surprised!

      I went to one years ago, based on sharing food and smoking weed, and we were all up until well after 2 a.m. The youngest was 29-something and the oldest well past 80. We had so much fun.

      waking up in an hour with a stiff back and full bladder is even worse than falling asleep so soon.

    That’s all well and good but eating pizza lying down like that while being over 40 is just asking for heartburn.

      baking soda.

      it doesn’t dissolve well, so a straw is a massive help, instead of trying to swirl it into the water off the sides of the glass.

      not helpful for a low-sodium diet, but sure kills that burn real quick.

        You know you can buy cheap, slightly-minty calcium carbonate tablets that do the same thing, rather than living like a 16th century witch.

          My partner is a tv on the fireplace mantel viewed from a distance kind of guy. I’m a tv at or near eye level while sitting on the couch and viewed from a responsibly close distance kind of guy.

          So we compromised, and placed the tv on the fireplace mantel all the way across the room from the couch.

          I guess I’d fit in quite well in a tvtoohigh community.

        False. Any good lounge should have you reclined and looking naturally towards the joint between the wall and ceiling. Having a tv that is at eye line while you are sitting vertically is not comfortable when you are lounging. You end up crooking your neck down.

        It’s apples and oranges for how you prefer to lounge, but I hate TVs placed even with eye-level while I’m standing if I am in a legit lounge. I recognize that other people like to be more vertical while they sit, as I’ve had this argument with a close friend… but for me, the lounge is king.

          Any good lounge should have you reclined and looking naturally towards the joint between the wall and ceiling.

          How could that even work? If you hang your TV that high then the ‘horizontal plane’ (from your eyes to the screen) would be diagonally across the room. You’d need a really weirdly shaped room. Where do you place your front height speakers? They would have to be above where the ceiling is and your rear speakers would effectively need to be below floor level.

      You should look into getting a roman chair. Life changing piece of equipment, basically idiot-proof, and you can find quality ones for less than $100 online.

        Varies. A lot of horror games, whenever someone’s too scared they hand the controller to the next guy.

        Last time we fired up Ratchet and Clank Deadlocked on an emulator for some multiplayer.

          We’ve been getting into Pummel Party lately.

          Mario Party-ish game with 8 people that is on PC and has Steam Workshop support for extra maps and minigames.

      My husband had Fatal Attraction on repeat for a few weeks. I asked him why and he said it was some sort of schadenfreude at those who put their dicks in crazy. Glenn Close really did play an excellent psycho bitch though.

      You can eat it without needing to pick it up if you cut it in a spiral. Not that I’ve ever done such a thing…

        The pepperoni, not the entire pizza. Though, it could be. There’s just no way to tell.

          That would be amazing, one peperoni per… However I don’t think that’s peperoni at all, maybe barbecue sauce and chicken? Idk, if you zoom in it doesn’t look the same shape as the other guys ronis.
