I'd like it to be now. My brother has his gaming setup in the basement across from my room. In the open. With no walls or another room to contain his stupid emissions of noise when he plays games. Whether he's raging, giggling, laughing at 12 to 6 in the morning when EVERYONE else is sleeping I hear it all and get woken up by it. This has been going on since the goddamn pandemic started. I just want to be able to have a proper night's rest, WHEN THE SUN IS DOWN

Next DIY project is digging a hole so deep and throwing him in so his Chinese Social Credit Score drops due to the noise complaints

I could remove your ears. I'll even do it for free! I've needed a new pair of ears for a while now

If only such a mercy was readily available. I can't fucking wait for the cyberpunk future where I can just deafen my robo ears so I can sleep in peace.

Breakers get flipped all the time. Just saying.

Next diy should be some hearing protection :D or you can use mine

Do you both live with your parents? Have you talked to them about it? Have you talked to your brother? Maybe suggest that he put his rig in his own room and see how your parents like it? If you confront and cover all your bases then you won't feel so bad about pouring a glass of water on something expensive

Buy an airhorn. Honk it every time he makes a noise.
