They are implying my desk isn't comfortable.
How rude.
It's not comfortable if you've been sitting there working for the past ~8 hours. I know a lot of people with computer-based jobs prefer playing games in different rooms of the house so that they can do something besides sit in front of their computer.
Seconded.
I keep a wireless mouse and keyboard near both of my TVs/comfy chairs and have a main controller I use wireless in one room but wired in another so I don't need to re-pair it.
My gaming PC is setup for Wake On LAN so I can wake it from my phone. Once work is over I can melt into a recliner and either take over the TV as my computer or (if the wife wants the TV and I want to hang out) pull out the Deck and load up Moonlight on that
^^ It’s me, he’s talking about me and my tribe of people!
A better office chair really helps with that.
It's not about physical comfort, but the environment. I have a beefy gaming desktop but most of the time I end up playing on my SD in the living room because I associate my office with work.
Highly recommend buying a second hand/used Aeron chair. They are stupid expensive new, but luckily they are popular with tech startups. When those startups inevitably fail, they sell their chairs at a deep discount. I’ve bought two like that and I suspect they will last forever.
One is a decade old and the only thing that has failed was a hip joint. $12 on eBay and we’re back in business.
seconf hand steelcase leaps are great too.
The embody is much better in my opinion. I’ve had mine for several years now and it is the best thing I’ve done for my back
I really want a Håg Capisco to replace my cheap Ikea Järvfjället. Shit's super ergonomic, I always prefer those at work.
