Personally a work space, of all things, should be clean. Though there’s nothing wrong with a little mess. Sometimes it’s hard to avoid: I have a desk with multiple armatures holding a widescreen monitor/kvm switch, and 2 computers. All that is connected to my audio workstation with an external mixer routing 3 effects pedals, a sequencer and a synth; and that’s next to my solder workstation and 3d resin printer. That doesn’t even get into the reference speakers, cameras, mics and such. Also the turntable and wall of records.
It’s a lot to keep tidy, but if my workspace gets messy then I can’t work. Still, it’s important to note that messy is not dirty. Messy is one thing, but there is ZERO excuse to not be clean.
All this is to say, I see no reason for OP to take umbrage with not being messy. Even if showing more wires means it feels more real… Some of us have more than an old prebuilt pc swarmed with surge protectors and loose usb cables.
Nothing is “meant to be messy”. Thats bs.
