So to the topic of male living spaces we go and, as this is a subreddit with 1.9 million members, the posts are all over the place:there are the humblebrags, of course, alongside popular genres of picture likeludicrous gaming rooms(andweirdass plant builds), and a healthy dose ofself-aware humorfrom most participants.
One element of the sub is posts about rather grim-looking locations, or those that play up to the sad male loner stereotype, which the denizens of r/malelivingspace absolutely adore. This would be how the humble redditor PathToWater stumbled into his 15 minutes of fame, after making aa postnine days ago titled “I’ve got everything I need.”
The accompanying photograph shows a room containing a desk, a chair, a gaming PC with a neon blue case, a keyboard and mouse, a side table (la-di-dah!), and a mattress on the floor. But this is PC Gamer: computer ENHANCE! Thanks to our peerless hardware team I can tell you that PathToWater is using a SteelSeries Apex keyboard, possibly the Apex 5, and a Logitech G203 mouse—extremely solid choices. You can also see custom/fancy motherboard cables in the PC too, indicating this is a man with their priorities straight. And just to complete the scene, the PC is running SkyFactory4,a Minecraft skyblock mod.
It cycles through a couple of submissions before alighting on the “I’ve got everything I need” post, which has the audience in stitches, before Tomlinson interjects “come on, we’ve all dated that guy.”
On returning to r/malelivingspace, PathToWater’s response was heartfelt: “They put my ass on fucking TV???”

This is of course the kind of drama and recognition that the inhabitants of r/malelivingspace have been waiting for, and it’s time to lean-in to the stereotype.ControllerHead1gets straight to the point: “What kind of neanderthal goes through life without a second monitor?!”
“You gotta get an ‘as seen on tv’ sticker for your door now,“says Aurens. “Dude sounds like you’ve got a good sense of humor about this, with that spirit this is fucking hilarious,“says MaximumTurtleSpeed. “The fact they didn’t even blur your handle kills me.”
“Frame this screenshot and put it on the wall,” says Bevo. “Really tie the room together.” PathToWater responds: “ballsy of you to assume I can afford a frame.”
“This is not everything you need,“says Mum_Chamber. “This is minimal male living space and you are really giving out a poor image for us all. Ideally you would need another monitor, some anime pictures on the wall, probably varying sizes of collectibles on that table, and a proper gaming chair. You would also need at least one spork and one knife, but I assume you have that near the sink.”
It’s all good clean fun like this, and especially amusing to see people gradually pick up on the picture’s details: no bedframe, no sheets on the bed… you’re asking for trouble son! Some wonder whether the new-found fame may result in a second pillow. Then there are those who can’t or won’t play along, and just berate PathToWater for their picture being the topic of a joke on CBS: but OP has the perfect response for that:
“I got made fun of on cable television,” says PathToWater. “How will I ever recover.”
