Office chairs have always been, and probably will always be, the way to go
Yup. Gaming chairs are just office chairs with a car seat aesthetic for 8 year olds.
Yeah, gaming chairs aren’t great for being comfy since they are modelled after race seats which are made to make you focus
It’s one step stupider than that. Race seats are not made for helping you focus, they’re made to keep you physically in place during high g-force situations.
Gamer force?
They are also designed to be reclined when in use, not upright, which is horrible for working with a computer.
Then that’s even more stupid 😭
they’re made to help you not fucking snap your neck, hence the massive wings on the sides hugging your head
Race seats are designed to hold you in place in high g corners, and keep you safe in a crash. Don’t know why anyone uses one at their computer.
it’s like how all shoes had to have huge heels, after stirrups for horses became a thing and thus riders started wearing riding shoes.
The heels aren’t useful for walking, they literally only exist to hook onto stirrups, it’s insane.
They’re great if you’re tall, though. I love mine, but I really wish I hadn’t done the roller blade wheel upgrade.
Really? I’m not super tall but the headrest on mine is already borderline too low. The optional head pad sits at my neck which isn’t ideal. Also are roller blade wheels seriously a thing? Why would anyone want that, how do you move the chair sideways?
I recall in the early dotcom days there were companies who thought every person needed to have a Herman Miller chair. Silly thought but they are comfy.
Hush let the companies give low level office workers great ergonomic chairs. I’ve spent too much time in bad office chairs
It doesn’t matter. Those companies went out of business about 20 years ago, and the new companies have their own chair policies.
i was lucky enough to end up using saddle chairs for a while, and holy shit they blow anything else out of the water.
You can actually sit straight, rather than either leaning back or forward, it’s fucking amazing. Plus they make it trivially easy to stand up and sit down.
My first computer chair once I was living on my own in 96. Oh and it only had 3 legs.
Before I moved out it was a vinyl covered high backed dining room chair I had rescued from the dump when I was 10 or so. My dad and I made a new seat for it from carpet padding and covered it with fake leather.
I loved that chair and the only reason I did not move out with it, is because it did not fit in the back of my VW.
I think those chairs are one of the few truly common American experiences.
I fucking hate those chairs. Probably made by Tekka
I will not stand idly by while a dragon burns down my hold and sloughters my people!
- lounges in throne casually.
Any chair is a gaming chair if you game while sitting in it.
People sat on trashcans or kitchen chairs or whatever, new gen needs a special chair to game smh. /s
My first computer chair was a whole ass couch, pulled up to the desk. No armrests sucked.
Lol my current computer chair is a reclining loveseat. It has its drawbacks but I mostly love it.
I had a couch about 2-3 feet away from the desk for casual games and movies, then a desk chair in between the couch and the desk for FPS games that I’d pull out of the way when I was using the couch. I kinda miss that setup even though now I have a separate TV setup. At one point I also used a massive lazyboy as my desk chair but that was terrible for using the mouse, id have to be perched on the edge. It was great for falling asleep while watching movies though.
My current computer chair is a couch with armrests.
As a teenager, I had a nice old easy chair I used when computing, until one of our cats started pissing on it. Couldn’t get the stink out, so I had to trash the chair. Fucking cat, I liked that chair. He never did it to anyone else. Well, except he pissed in my friend’s shoe for some reason.
Did your friend learn their lesson? Not saying they did anything wrong, but the cat clearly wanted to teach them a lesson!
