This is silly. I'm in my 40's and would never live like this.

Obviously I need a chair with back support and a bottle of Tums to go with this otherwise awesome night.

And something to hold the TV at a reasonable viewing angle from a comfy seated position.

My wife still thinks that the box filled with school books was not an appropriate TV stand. Sheesh... I wrapped it in a blue blanket to class it up.

Old milk crates were awesome for that. Hold the TV then have a place for your console underneath if you put it on it's side.

I'd take a bean bag chair (I'm pretty lucky with my back, apparently), but I ain't sitting on no floor.

My butt will fall asleep!

bean bag + coffee table 💚 one sure way to make me not sit in a position that violates several principles of orthopedics and ergonomics

Lol my body is broken I can't sit on the floor like that for long periods of time or I might not be able to get up
