“Gaming Chairs” are for idiot consumers. Office chairs are where it’s at. Office chairs are designed to be sat in for 8+ hours a day.
You want a chair that makes it look like you’re about to lay off the bottom 10% performers.
Some folks like bottom performers. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
It’s a bite to the wallet to get a decent chair, but definitely worth it, and can still be done for sub-$1000 too.
Find a good used office supply company. You can find top notch chairs like aerons that have a scratch or ding for half the price. They are usually good with single customers for these lightly used chair.
I managed to get my whole family some really good office chairs because a local business chucked them all in a local dumpster. Most of them just needed to have the foot-rests removed to be completely perfect. I looked them up, and they are all $600+ chairs brand new. Dumpster diving has always been fun :)
The better office chairs have 10+ year warranties, if you spread out the cost of buying a cheap chair (£150) every 2 years Vs a £1000 one that lasts 10 years its not such a huge difference in price whilst the benefits to your back are worth much more.
I know not everyone can afford this, but it’s worth checking for interest free credit from either the manufacturer, store, or even PayPal / klarna (which is what I did).
I just play PC games on my couch.
Steam link fpr the win. You can play your pc games on the loo as well!
My office chair is a gaming chair (seems fine), my gaming chair is the sofa and a big pile of cushions (and the bog, of course)
My office chair and gaming chair are both the same office chair. I swap the same monitor’s connection between my work laptop and pc depending on time of day.
I’m not getting it but those gaming chairs look like racing car chairs. I didn’t think those seats were particularly comfortable either because I thought they kept you in place when things you’re zipping around?
I tried so many different office chairs, they all sucked. Even the more expensive ones. But the “secret labs” gaming chair was perfect. Gives whatever support my fucked up spine needs, has the right mix of cush but firm. And the little magnetic pillow is in the perfect spot. It was very expensive but worth it to me.
Most gaming chairs are memes tho I’ll say
“We play on the throne”
Why is there a toilet in the gaming room and in the living room in the first two pictures?
The joke is that handheld gamers can play anywhere, well at least with this edit. The original only had him on the toilet.
I took this as “i play on a gaming chair, couch, or anywhere else” or maybe “steamdeck is a pc, console, and handheld”
I feel attacked (currently scrolling from the toilet)
(Upvoting from toilet)
I started using Steam Link to switch between all those choices, ultimate freedom
As a lifelong PC gamer, I plug in my PC wherever I want it. It’s currently plugged into my TV…
…Gathering dust while I sit in front of it using my steam deck
Mobile players do it on the go. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
nice touch adding the toilet to the office and parlor.
Look at Mr. Fancy over here with a parlor!
Bold of you to assume I didn’t build my battlestation around the shitter.
VR desktop streamers, do the same thing but optionally in multimonitor 4k and don’t have to look at our hands the whole time. Also can play on a recliner comfortably. My neck is in so much better shape since I started using my VR headset to stream instead of a phone or other handheld. Plus the screens are 20 feet away, nice on the eyes. And still take up 80 degrees of my field of view. Not sure what effective size that makes them, but it’s bigger and nicer looking than a theatre screen.

Doing toilet?!
Please friend, do the

THE PORCELAIN THRONE!
You people use the backbuttons?
Always, when a game tries to force me to use a stick-click to sprint or I need to perform an action with ABXY while turning via right stick/pad.
Their positioning is sadly uncomfortable for me, since I do enjoy the ones on my modded ps5 controller.
Been PC gaming on the couch for years now, either using a controller, trackball and 75% keyboard or a steam controller. Mouse pads are for work only as far as I’m concerned.
