a good sense of gratitude and appreciation of the privileges you're able to afford is good grounds for contentment. he also seems like the type of guy who's genuinely thankful for the people in his life given his goofy and "heart on his sleeve" attitude, honestly just good vibes man
Yes, after listening to all carpool critics podcast, I appreciate him and his humor even more. Also his home is the one that looks nicer to me from all LMG employees.
Clearly shows that they have only one kid: there is still enough energy to think about aesthetics instead of simply trying to survive with some degree of hygiene preserved
Riley's attitude about his tech is SOOOOOO refreshing. He demonstrated that it is perfectly acceptable to not have "top of the line" everything to enjoy and appreciate things. Sure, none of it is cheap, but it's actually effectively and efficiently set up and installed. Bravo!
Minimalism at it's finest, well balanced without compromising anything and getting what you need with a little extra. This is the lifestyle I want to adopt eventually when I move out next year, Riley is now my new favorite LTT member.
@@bloberglawp9981 guy just burned 5k on hardware he didn't need. That is certainly not minimalist nor is it environmentally friendly, add not good for the wallet either. I can easily bet that old case is being tossed into a nearby landfill.
Michael Malenchek yeah, that's true, but we all (eventually) produce waste from upgrades. I’m not saying it was a perfect example, but at least there was some re-use involved in the project. Also, he could still sell or donate his old gear, I know I would.
Bro, I love Riley. You can see in him how truly grateful he was receiving this kind of stuff. He's not just funny, but his character is super awesome. Wishing him the very best. 😁
You can tell Riley is a new parent with how he set up the piano, because a seasoned veteran would know to *never* have anything expensive that low to the ground and accessible. XD
Or atleast without a good Cover on it. Even though i am Single and never been in any relationship for as long as i lived (going to be 34 years old soon), i knew that the idea of putting it that low was bad, because it could either accidentally hit someone (i mean its small and compact, but its still slightly bulky), and he had a child now.
I have the same piano and it is actually not too expensive compared to other digital pianos, it was around 600 USD, which is still not something you want ruined, but you can live with damage for sure.
@@TheDonuts42 lol, 600 USD stuff getting damaged and you can live with it? I wouldn't want even a 200 USD item getting damaged, because they are still considered quite costly, in my country (considering that you can use that 600 USD to run the house of a 4 member middle class family for basic necessities like food and paying bills for like 4 months with that money)

@@mataskart9894 Yeah, Nvidia sponsoring a vid in which they basically give away a card that people won't realistically get their hands on for months would really go over well.

Yeah, I wouldnt feel comfortable in a minimalistic home myself, but I can absolutely appreciate that this living-room/kitchen/officespace room is a piece of art! I admire the dedication :)
Riley is an absolute gem in this age of tech influencers incessantly having to have the top of the line everything all the time. I think he also capture a lot of the ideals behind minimalism in that too.
most minimalist are frauds, they carry around a bunch of stuff they don't need and somehow they are minimalists? I carry around my phone and wallet, that's it, but that doesn't make me one of them. Bunch of smug hipsters is what they are.
@@Celestial-Idiot True minimalists are the people who you think "wow that person is really well off" people who only buy things that pay for themselves in joy, or like actually pay for themselves, people who instead of buying that $12 taco from chipotle make there own lunch for $12 a week
Minimalism is not about having less things but having only things that you like and need. The other is anti materialism where you live like Diogenes. However I feel that all these types of lifestyles are given names so people can justify their choices. I have very little stuff at home because I am too lazy to clean but saying I am a minimalist just sounds cooler.
@@otherssingpuree1779 it sounds worse, no one thinks it sounds cooler. I lived with someone who called themselves a minimalist, they are the worst kind of people
My daughter was watching MLP and I heard Riley but I could not figure out why I new the voice. It was bothering me so much for the entire day. It was Riley!!! That sneaky Pete.
@@TheEniahk Didnt they put that into this episode with the "weird" pcie extension cards? I remember something fourlegged with rileys face on it whenever they showed his score..
*The Riley story* "I work at Linus tech tips" "But I don't have a TV" "But I don't have a Fast PC" "But I don't have a big curved monitor" "But I don't have a digital piano" *"But what I have is a Linus and his sponsors"*
It is sort of amazing seeing just what some of the LTT crew actually has at home when it comes to tech. You'd expect that everyone working at LTT (a technology channel which deals with high end computers an the like) to have a baller setup at home as well. Then you see stuff like this. "My PC is a affront to technology, that thing doesn't belong to the original case, that doesn't belong etc"
can confirm, it does. BUT it doesn't go without saying that its not the home! We're just buying only necessary things instead of hoarding a lot of things.
The Seagate Pipeline drives were named such because of their construction being 75% recyclable and 50% of the materials were recycled already. We had them at Fry's when I worked there in 2010, but they either never took off as an individual product or Seagate went greener as a whole and incorporated the idea into their other drives
@@Lostmypasswordagain Yea they were really popular as DVR drives and the like, we had some of the 500gb ones in an old file server starting in 2009 I think which have since been replaced with a larger NAS. Unfortunately I can't find any further info on them at all beyond the fact that they were originally max 1tb, with a starting capacity of 160gb, and eventually there were 1.5, 2, and 4tb models released. The only page I can find with the 4tb drive is a defunct listing on a site run by British telecom. I don't know enough about Seagate's current offerings to know if this product line was folded into another or not but it looks like Riley's unit is probably one of the last revisions available.
Honestly, for me, this is the most genuine reaction of upgrades in all of ltt's videos as he's bragging and quite desperate that he plays at work. It's as if he doesn't build pcs or even see high end pcs often that he's so happy with what he has.
Despite the amount of times I've seen Linus talk about good cable management, I'm not sure I've seen a single video where he actually cable manages something properly...
This is my favorite one; I like Riley´s style. And I like his approach to the Tech Upgrade; It´s clean, elegant, has style, it´s functional and it´s humble in the sense that it´s not trying to over kill it just because. It´s was a good management of the budget.
The subtle, creeping depression coming from Riley as he describes what he's had to give up because of a baby is absolutely real, and as a father of two, I gotta say....it never gets better Riley. They keep taking, and taking, and taking, until you have nothing left to give. You're stoop shouldered and grey, and have completely given up. All your dreams will die. But it's okay, because when you get a hug from that little kid, man that's literally worth everything in the world.
I’m still far away from becoming a father (only 17 years old at the moment), but I’d rather keep the baby in the same room as the parents. It’s an infant, the baby needs attention. At least that’s how my parents have done it
Riley: *enjoying his digital piano.* Linus: *other than that* this setup is the bee's knees. Don't worry Riley, we appreciate your Casio Piano! (21:17 btw)
In case anybody takes this the wrong way, I think he was referring to the PC not being hardlined to the internet, the piano reveal cut away was right in between pointing out no hardline internet and this quote. If anything, incredibly well edited for the joke lol.
Riley folding that piano in the wall gave me dinner party vibes from the office... Michael folding that plasma tv in the wall lol guess thats married life for you!
@@soejrd24978 Watch the bloopers from that episode... the whole set couldnt stop laughing when he is folding that plasma in the wall. Definitely my favorite episode!

I'll take that over doing something accidentally wrong and regret everything
That's my mom
Yeah well he is also giving him $5k worth of things. I would let you set it up how you want them change it later lol
I can relate 😁

@@aliasoma I'm sure they could figure something out with Nvidia(speaking as in today), they already have 3000 series cards in the office :)
@@mataskart9894 Yeah, Nvidia sponsoring a vid in which they basically give away a card that people won't realistically get their hands on for months would really go over well. Just because they have some 3000 series cards in the office doesn't mean the employees get to take them home for their personal use. LTT is a business, not a charity.

@@digital_nobodywhat are you talking about 🫤
Riley is an absolute gem in this age of tech influencers incessantly having to have the top of the line everything all the time. I think he also capture a lot of the ideals behind minimalism in that too.
It's funny, given how un-minimalist his use of English is I'd never have guessed.
I loved the fact he stared at the tv mount while being critiqued and just phased through everything “I mounted this upside down”
"minimalism is about looking down on people who have lots of things..."
minimalism is also pretending that you can maintain the mindset
most minimalist are frauds, they carry around a bunch of stuff they don't need and somehow they are minimalists? I carry around my phone and wallet, that's it, but that doesn't make me one of them. Bunch of smug hipsters is what they are.
@@Celestial-Idiot True minimalists are the people who you think "wow that person is really well off" people who only buy things that pay for themselves in joy, or like actually pay for themselves, people who instead of buying that $12 taco from chipotle make there own lunch for $12 a week
Minimalism is not about having less things but having only things that you like and need. The other is anti materialism where you live like Diogenes. However I feel that all these types of lifestyles are given names so people can justify their choices.
I have very little stuff at home because I am too lazy to clean but saying I am a minimalist just sounds cooler.
@@otherssingpuree1779 it sounds worse, no one thinks it sounds cooler. I lived with someone who called themselves a minimalist, they are the worst kind of people
ok so the key to minimalism is: buy a house with a double garage and keep EVERYTHING in there.
Yes.

Nice one
It is sort of amazing seeing just what some of the LTT crew actually has at home when it comes to tech. You'd expect that everyone working at LTT (a technology channel which deals with high end computers an the like) to have a baller setup at home as well. Then you see stuff like this.
"My PC is a affront to technology, that thing doesn't belong to the original case, that doesn't belong etc"
As someone in IT, I can tell you the last thing I want to do after coming home from a days work is dealing with more tech.

The Seagate Pipeline drives were named such because of their construction being 75% recyclable and 50% of the materials were recycled already. We had them at Fry's when I worked there in 2010, but they either never took off as an individual product or Seagate went greener as a whole and incorporated the idea into their other drives
The date code on the one pulled out of Riley's computer is 13423, giving a manufacture date of May 21st, 2013.
@@Lostmypasswordagain Yea they were really popular as DVR drives and the like, we had some of the 500gb ones in an old file server starting in 2009 I think which have since been replaced with a larger NAS. Unfortunately I can't find any further info on them at all beyond the fact that they were originally max 1tb, with a starting capacity of 160gb, and eventually there were 1.5, 2, and 4tb models released. The only page I can find with the 4tb drive is a defunct listing on a site run by British telecom. I don't know enough about Seagate's current offerings to know if this product line was folded into another or not but it looks like Riley's unit is probably one of the last revisions available.
I love Riley's take on things "if the world hasn't exploded by then"
I want his son to see that when he grows up.
"That's why you game on your lunch break"
I kinda felt sad for Riley.
Ikr he’s so humble and genuine
Why? He has a house, a family and a kid. Gaming is fun, but its not that important.
^^^^^ How come UA-cam hasn't fixed this crap yet?
Honestly, for me, this is the most genuine reaction of upgrades in all of ltt's videos as he's bragging and quite desperate that he plays at work. It's as if he doesn't build pcs or even see high end pcs often that he's so happy with what he has.
"you didn not have a TV?"
*looks around room for a while, no TVs, then back at the PC monitors*
-this is the way
I mean I have a 50in Monitor, theirs no need for me to have a TV
My tv is just an art piece which i look up when i get up from my pc.
The only reason to have a tv is if you entertain people...and by people I mean not your buddies who are fine pulling an extra chair to the gaming desk
i know what you did there. This is the way
I feel like Riley is the most relatable person in ltt
That's debatable
"Minimalist: Minimal cable management." That makes perfect sense.
20:05 Imagine playing Rocket League causal and "Linus Tech Tips" enters your team.
Riley: I'm a minimalist
Linus: so you didnt buy anything?
Riley: *yes but actually no*
"Skinner" What a fitting middle-name to give his son.
Despite the amount of times I've seen Linus talk about good cable management, I'm not sure I've seen a single video where he actually cable manages something properly...
You're... right
In his defense, cable management takes multiple hours to do. And they only have a total of 8 hours to do everything
Riley literally plumbs his cables through his walls while Linus sits on his PC case to close it 😂
There are a few, very rare. Like unicorns and white rhinos
Those who can't do, teach!
This is my favorite one; I like Riley´s style.
And I like his approach to the Tech Upgrade; It´s clean, elegant, has style, it´s functional and it´s humble in the sense that it´s not trying to over kill it just because.
It´s was a good management of the budget.
Riley just brightens my day every time I see him performing mundane tasks.
"I put this on upside down."
That is the KEY for a good life.
Linus is a terrible boss. Didn't even let Rylee peel his own PC case.

The subtle, creeping depression coming from Riley as he describes what he's had to give up because of a baby is absolutely real, and as a father of two, I gotta say....it never gets better Riley. They keep taking, and taking, and taking, until you have nothing left to give. You're stoop shouldered and grey, and have completely given up. All your dreams will die.
But it's okay, because when you get a hug from that little kid, man that's literally worth everything in the world.
I’m still far away from becoming a father (only 17 years old at the moment), but I’d rather keep the baby in the same room as the parents. It’s an infant, the baby needs attention. At least that’s how my parents have done it
