I’m trying to invent a new room for the home. There hasn’t been one since the garage was repurposed as a workshop by Some Guy in 1933. Considering calling it the Stack Room. Where you manage your connection to The Stack.

Many rooms from the Age of Mansions have gone obsolete: Library Smoking room/den Scullery Gun room Skullduggery room Boudoir On the way out: formal dining room There hasn’t been a new kind of room for homes in forever, even the workshop-garage is a hack, not new

The “study” proper has also disappeared, absorbed into some sort of den+home-office. I guess home theater groom counts as an evolution of the living room? Game room/“man cave” with Xbox and foosball and VR = billiards room of past, so not new

The library has been replaced by the internet now, but it vanished as a standard room before then. Got distributed as bookshelves scattered across other rooms.

Armories were common once. Now they are gun closets. Though dedicated gun types seem to have workshops. A workbench I have my eye on has a glowing review from a guy who uses it as a reloading bench. Which is apparently a specialized thing in make-your-own-ammo world.
