Gaming Setup - Computer Setup

Why did she get all the furniture? Aren't you supposed to spilt all that 50/50?

Agree, fight it and don't let her walk all over you.

Depends on the situation.

Well, unfortunately its a matter of who finds a better lawyer :(

More of a matter of who has the vagina.

Well, I am not from US. I am russian, and here it is actually the matter of getting the best lawyer

No, I'm pretty sure in Russia, it's a matter of who has the best dashcam.

I wish. In a lot of states, the wife is given nearly everything she wants if they were married for a decent amount of time.

Yes. Yes it is.

We're here for you man

Even your headphones are smiling at you.

Dude enjoy your freedom; the glass is half full man.

I'd like to say something - don't get trapped in virtual land. It happens to a lot of people, truly, but don't let it happen to you! Even while being down in the dumps try to go see friends, family, hangout with coworkers, go people watch, go to the gym, or on a walk somewhere new! Trust me, being trapped in that screen will feel just as bad as this!

Already Gym'd up buddy. Lost 40lbs since the divorce. Running a 6 min mile and training for my first marathon! Thanks though!

Jesus Christ. I'm usually pleased with myself when I run an 11 minute mile.

Any pace is better than no pace :)

As long as you pace yourself

You should be pleased with yourself! Most people don't run miles at all.

Start lifting man! Greatest thing I've done for myself. No better feeling than lifting heavy shit, drinking a protein shake, and plopping in front of my gaming setup to "recover" for a few hours.

Can confirm, do exactly the same thing.

You just described the most amazing feeling... and 1+ if you have a little adrenaline left in your system and you play a game of StarCraft while screeming at nobody. Get rekd. I need to find a closer gym now!

Dear diary, today OP was actually a pretty cool guy.

Don't forget to delete the Lawyer..

OP just took life by the balls and told it to go fuck itself.

Good for you man! I second ScriptLoL's "don't get rapped in a virtual land" advice but seems like already have that covered!

A lot of people.. That you know? How many?

50% of all marriages apparently

Why Americans still get married is beyond me.

Is that an e-cig I see?

I've got me an SVD with a protank on top

Looks like a gun metal Vamo V3, with perhaps a Protank on top?

This must be what it sounds like to console users when I describe my pc.

Making due with what you've got left, I can respect that.

It'll get better, buddy. She didn't take your Vamo, at least. Internet high five

Just FYI, you make do not make due

Playing tanks! Always a good time. Hit us up on r/worldoftanks if you haven't already!

I play no more room in hell, its free on steam if your interested in playing send me a PM!

I should mention that No More Room in Hell is technically a mod that requires Half-Life 2 to play.

Source engine is public now, just install that and you're good

Oh, it is? Good to know!

Or Team Fortress 2, everyone's favorite hat simulator.

The FPS minigame is pretty damn cool

It also has broken hitbox detection

Been there. Well close anyways. Gal I was engaged to burned my stuff down by "accident" 3 months before we were supposed to get hitched. Then night before the wedding decided I was not the right person. 3 weeks after that, her father who I bought a vehicle from came to my work and did a midnight repo of the car that I only owed him the last 200 on. Shit will get better, sucks now but that is a short moment in your life.

Nah, I got the ride back the next day. My little 5 foot tall mother gave him a call, whatever she said it changed his mind of keeping the rig. I gave him his 200 hundred and that was it. He didn't have any money, all I wanted was just to done with him and his daughter.

Good, it would've been horrible if you didn't get it back.

Yeah for a while after the place burnt, and got dumped everything I owned pretty much fit in a duffle bag. I wasn't the greatest person to be around for awhile. But things got better.

My mom was far from nice, we barely got along. She was like a little pit pull. It's pretty much where my brother and I get out mean streak. lol

Sounds like you're lucky to be out of there. Hopefully this was a while ago and you've moved on but best of luck.

Yeah that was about 12 years ago. Things are better.

Well at least you got a sick wall color, Im diggin the grey. and is that an e-cig?

Well...at least she didn't take the most important part...We've all been there once bud, head up.

The head phones look like a smiley face. They're trying to say "Not all is lost".

There are minimalist coolcomputersetupss out there. I love being minimalist, so if anything, I hope that during these times you can find the motivation to start something new.

What more do you need!

Congrats on your new life.

Nothing better than gaming with your buddies after shit goes down like that! Hope you're doing well!

Hope you can hang in there! Grats on the running and keeping on!

I've been in the same exact situation. Keep your chin up and everything will work out for the better! And my gaming setup looked pretty damn close to yours. Except I had it on an empty post office box with holes cut in it. Putting it on the bed made it overheat. And I had iPod ear buds..

To new beginnings ~ Internet Cheers

At least you've got some nice blinds.

At least she left the router.

She probably didn't know how to use it.

Same thing happened to me man. Same thing at the age of 23. PM if you need to talk.

Your headphones look pretty happy...

Is that a vamo i see??

Fellow vaper checking in, shitty HV batt. with volcano tube tank. What's your rig?

Looks like you still have a house. House beats furniture

Dark plot twist: OP's wife and old home burnt down and this is everything he could salvage.

That's basically theft. Did you call the police? You own 50% of all your shit. Don't let her get away with it.

No its not. Law enforcement has no authority when it comes to divorces, unless specifically granted so by a judge.

This is some tricky, state by state shit. Until a court has ordered to give her complete material possession of the items, it may be: Community Property (either can have, neither can deprive the other) or Singular Property (You need receipts to prove that its yours, otherwise police can't act.)

If the property was bought after the divorce,then yes it is theft. If bought before or during marriage, we won't touch it. At least in Florida.

In Florida, its a civil matter because we're a community property state. That's why we don't touch it, and SOP indicates that even if we wanted to deal with the criminal aspect, we fucking say its a civil matter anyway.

No, both people own 100% of all the shit until a judge says so.

Hey man its going to be ok.

Not bad. Atleast the bed looks comfy.

Looks like an old hp vista laptop. I had one just like that. Simplicity right now but fuck that girl....definitely not a woman so I wish your future endeavours to be smooth and better man. Plenty of good coolcomputersetupss around for the rough times but pm me if you are at a moment of needing someone to talk to as I know that feeling but in a different situation.

Dell 1702. It's a nice laptop.

I can see that. Only seen one of those before.

Who needs all that junk anyway? And now you're free!

Im sorry for your loss, yet the optimist in me is saying everything will be okay and if she left you than this is your chance to grow stronger.

Know what, that old furniture would only remind you of her. Good luck on your new life.

The same thing just happened to me (gf though). Super internet hug, Walmart had a good shelf for 20$ that I just got, it helped a lot. I'm also hoping black Friday will have some more stuff for me, cheers!

Sorry to hear man. But hey on the upside, you can now post to /minimalism

It's all you need broski. Hang in there.

Kinda gives a new meaning to "gaming setup". This is more of an "aftermath station". Best of luck although from your posts it seems like you have it together and are working things out fine. Keep up the positives!

You know what you don't have in this picture?

At least you kept the house?

How did the wife get all the furniture? Did she get all the furniture but not the house? Was that the deal?

Now you're single again and can have sex with all the women you want, she sure showed you

Sometimes I wonder if taking all the furniture is supposed to be a punishment... I bought a house 2 years ago and people keep asking when I'm going to fill the rooms with stuff and I just can't see buying a bunch of useless furniture I'm not using on a regular basis. It just gets in the way of the robot vacuum cleaner!

Reason #2385 to never ever get married. ever

Keep working on getting healthy physically, and don't forget mentally! When things improve, you should put money towards a total redesign of that room. New paint, carpet, awesome computer, booze, bad ass wall hangings... Turn it into an awesome man cave, something to make new memories in.

Only one thing left to do, full volume porn!!

Its all you need brother.

Is she even allowed to do that?

Best wishes to you man.

Press on brotha. That situation is very hard. But you'll get through it. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

You keep up man !!! Know that it is always for the best!!!!! always!!!!

That is all you need my man...

Is that an ecigg on the bed?

Good, now you can decorate the way you like it. Keep your chin up man.

Who needs a wife when you have credit.....

What kind of cooling pad is that?

Hang in there, bro.

That's all I had for a long time with uni and rent in a country I migrated to, and loved it. Sure, it's not what you had, but it's really how much you make of a situation and your outlook rather than your material items.

Moral of the story: just don't ever get married.

I feel for you, dude. Someone could clear out my house while I play WoT and I wouldn't notice either.

Well thank the good lord Gaben that she didn't take your shrine to the master race

There are probably hot singles in your area. Get laid tonight!

You're free. Congrats. Now go do something you wanna do. No really, you can do that now.

I fail to see the problem here ;)

I have the same laptop! Dell XPS L502x?

As a divorced man, I have to say sometimes it's better not to drag things on. It hurts but maybe slightly less later on.

It doesn't seem like it now but one day you'll be able to say:"That was a good start." No disrespect, trust me.

She sounds like a real bitch, glad you still have a bed though :)

Without being provided any information, for all we know OP could be an abusive asshole. Just because she was the one that left doesn't mean she did something wrong--she could have, but we don't know, so why jump to conclusions?

Another tick in my "avoid getting a wife" column.

I don't understand how you'd let someone do this to you. No hugs and no condescending comments on my part, grow some balls and take your stuff back.

Beat that skank for me next time you see her

If she left you you probably fucked up. Don't make that mistake again. But now that you can spend money freely again off to r/buildapc!!

Speaking from growing up in a life riddle with divorce, when someone says their SO left AND took everything it doesn't generally me things ended on good terms.

Was about to downvote until

Thank you for getting the important part of my comment :-)

Perhaps a bit harsh and I apologize OP. But my childhood brings me to believe that is a fair assumption.

No simpathy, should have been a man and taken care of her better

Have you ever been in a serious relationship?
