I thought I was making my man’s ugly gaming console look nice — I should never have touched it

TikToker Isabella Veronica Hardy couldn’t wait to show her followers the stylish makeover she’d given her husband’s gaming system — but wound up angering gamers everywhere when it was revealed she’d defaced a limited-edition PS4 console worth hundreds of dollars used.

“Wrapping my husband’s ugly PS4 in white to match my white aesthetic room,” Hardy wrote in the beginning of the video, narrating in a voiceover. She lamented that the Playstation, which she described as an “ugly, blue thing,” has been bothering her for months.

So, eight months pregnant and “nesting,” she decided to cover the offending article with contact paper. She began by cleaning off the gaming station, and then wrapped it with the paper.

I agree with you that gaming is like drinking. Moderation is the key. If you can’t help but use it at the expense of actually living, you are better off without it.

Exactly. And interior decorating is a wife's prerogative. As she said, she's "nesting".

Big deal, you can take Contact paper off. May need to remove a little tacky stuff but contact paper is removable.

The time other people spend on gaming, I spend on FR or hiking.

A trifecta. :)

EXACTLY.

I am not a gamer, but I know many producers.

If I were a gamer, and saw that and my wife all happy that she made things aesthetically better I would tell her that it looked really good (the truth) and eventually that the nerds who designed it were stupid and there were overheating problems.

then I might get a white one and sell my ltd edition console, or maybe just stick it in the attic if I thought the ghosts would like to game.

there is no way I would yell at her

I do patrols. A couple of them works out to be 1.5 km.
At the site I would really like, I would get to walk about 12km in a shift.
