HELLZBELLY, do gaming w Controller recommendedation?

I’m a fan of the gamesir G7 SE myself. It’s very affordable. The hall effect sticks feel smoother and more responsive. Also they don’t get stick drift which is why I got mine.

n0clue,

I like that it has mic, I’d like wireless but if third party controllers won’t work with Xbox Controller Connector it doesn’t matter as much.

I got the same controller for the same reason after my Elite Series 2 got stick drift. Really responsive sticks and it doesn't feel too cheap even with the lower price.

Don’t skimp on anything that separates you and the ground for a long period of time.

Maybe a cheap office ish chair?

I have an mti chair and its fine. The arm rests suck but if its under 100 euros its a good buy.

Why is 400 even considered for a chair???

bob_lemon,

If you work from home, you’re spending a lot of time in that chair. A good, ergonomic chair can go a long way to mitigate back issues.

sleepybisexual,

Oh.

What still doesn’t explain 1000 euro + chairs tho

How does a chair even gat that expensive? Aaa

I got the Flydigi Vader 3 and i’m very happy with it. The sticks are butter smooth. The buttons are very clicky.

I have an elite, but prefer the 8 bit do ultimate. It’s light but sturdy, comfortable, can toggle to pair with my switch or the PC, and has a cool looking charging dock.

n0clue,

I think I’ll have to try that out.

Zelda OOT. I’ve been playing it before bed to wind down. It gives me good feels.

I’m like that with OG Doom. Its half nostalgia and half it just being a fun game to play.

I got a HON Ignition 2.0 a few years back for about $300. Don’t let the name fool you, it’s not a gaming chair. It’s one of the best cheap ergonomic chairs I’ve ever used. You can get them lightly used from Amazon for about $360 nowadays, or $425 new. Between working from home and sitting in front of my computer gaming, I spend probably 8+ hours a day sitting in that chair, and have for the last 3 years. It’s still in great shape and shows almost no wear and tear.

Steer clear of anything that markets itself as being gaming focused. Plenty of middle-of-the-road office chairs provide decent back support and I’d even wager most are better for your long term health than a “gaming” chair. If there’s a local office furniture store nearby then I’d check that out. Still might be a bit pricey but I’m sure they have some cheaper options. My current one was like $200 from one of those stores and it’s served me very well. Super comfy, much better than my sibling’s gaming chair.

I would steer clear of any chairs that

  • function as a billboard for themselves (high back with a logo that’s clearly visible on a twitch stream)
  • are built like a bucket seat from a race car
  • or are otherwise marketed toward “gamers”

I would try looking for a second hand expensive one. I found a guy on CL who restores Herman Millers; sold me a lightly used Aeron for like $300.

The one I used before that was the Ikea Markus (also purchased on CL for $100, barely used).

See if an office equipment seller is doing office clearances and you can get some office chairs for less than $100 most likely (I got one for £50)

deezbutts,

This. I got a like new $1400 chair for $350.

I’ve worked from home for 10 years, logged serious hours in that chair, never felt uncomfortable. It’s a nightingale if that helps.

Forgive me if I am hijacking the thread, but does anyone have a recommendation for a chair that can accommodate a big dude? Like 330 lbs or so? I ordered one off Amazon, and it didn’t last 6 months.

Kit,

My bf is 6’3" 330 lb and uses this chair: www.staples.com/…/product_24398921

Thank you!

ConstableJelly, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of February 25th

I finally tried out Hardspace Shipbreaker. I’ve played a few hours and just finished the reactor tutorial. So far it’s that diamond in the rough I’m always looking for: an engaging but chill gameplay loop and enticing progression. Something I can turn on to relax and zone out with noncommitally, but that isn’t just an objective-less sandbox ala No Man’s Sky.

If anyone has recommendations for other games that fit the bill please let me know!

Rinn,

Nothing quite like Hardspace: Shipbreaker, but farming games/life sims often fill this niche for me. The classic one to recommend is Stardew Valley, I also really like Graveyard Keeper, Slime Rancher and Fantasy Life (3ds, works well on emulators).

ARPGs (Diablo style, so kill stuff to get loot to get your numbers up to kill bigger stuff) can be nice zone out games too, I recommend Grim Dawn (going to get an expansion soon, quite complex), recently released Last Epoch (very enjoyable, but might want to hold off for a while if you want to play online - the servers are a mess right now), and Chronicon (most casual of these three, very cheap, colorful explosions across the screens).

Other games I’ve tagged as “Space Maintenance” : Planet Crafter (pretty chill number go up/building kind of game where you’re slowly making a planet livable), Deep Sixed (short roguelike, try to keep a ship together enough to get through the game, very hectic and no progression between runs so may not be what you’re looking for), Delta V Rings of Saturn (top down space mining).

ConstableJelly,

Thanks! I looked at Graveyard Keeper a while back, might give it a go.

I have a Secretlab chair that I like. Which model is right for you depends on your size. I paid about $500 for mine. They often have $100 off coupons.

I often see some pretty comfortable chairs at Costco for < $300, if you live near one. The savings on the chair alone would more than cover the cost of a 1 year membership.

Seconding the Secretlab chair. For someone who works from home and would play PC games at the exact same desk when work ended, it made sense to invest in a chair beyond my $30 IKEA one and has held up pretty well over the last several years.

@beefcat@beehaw.org avatar

I got mine a few months into the pandemic for the same reason.

PM_me_trebuchets,

I might look into this!

conciselyverbose,

The other benefit with Costco is that they have an extremely generous return policy.

Some obvious stuff has different rules (electronics is 90 days, stuff like tires that have clear expected lifespans have their own rules), but it is extremely liberal. And my experience is that I pretty rarely have to use it, because while not everything is a premium product for a bargain price, they tend to ensure that the suppliers for products they sell have reasonable build quality and make stuff that isn't trash designed to fail.
