It's rendered invisible by the questionable satin dust covers, but, in the second from last pic there's a TV on a swivel arm above an Xbox one and PS2 (I prefer the old consoles!).

The lighting, air conditioning and small but rather fancy looking electric heater are all voice/remotely controlled with smart plugs and Alexa. I've freaked the neighbours out many a time when I walk into my shed late at night and start shouting at Alexa about the lights!
 
I do but sadly it is always in a state of build/upgrade...continual fettling so doesnt get the use it was intended for. Determined to use it over winter as a work from home space...just need a decent way to heat it.
 
I don’t want to have a common man-cave. However, I like my room with my hobby items

Alas no, not in the current house. There isn't really any room for one unless I converted my garage which is my current brew space anyway but also contains many bikes, DIY clobber, fishing gear and probably a lot of other stuff I don't really need.

'Er indoors did suggest I could build a covered BBQ area when the kids no longer want a trampoline.
 
I don't really understand the purpose of a man cave. Don't you guys like spending time with your wives?
There again our entire house is pretty much done up as a man cave.

Hahahaha
Do you want the honest answer?

Actually the honest answer is I do. We have games evenings with teenage mini-me, strictly nights etc, but it's awfully nice to have a purpose built office for working from home and to have a place where I can go one or two nights a week and game or brew or do metal earth models whilst listening to slipknot/tool/metal bands
But primarily having a proper office is just bliss. Working from home 20 days a month and not having a proper environment just sucks ass so much. The extra bits are just the icing on the cake.
