Dezvous, do gaming w Good chair that is *affordable* ?

Autonomous makes some nice chairs that are in your price range

PM_me_trebuchets,

Thank you!!!

Dezvous,

I personally have had the ErgoChair Plus with the naked black TPE (No cushion) for the past 5(?) years and it’s been holding up great.

Dempf,

Autonomous has really good marketing and sells a really cheap chair that they probably buy for $80 at an insane markup. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not too terrible. I’ve sat in one before, and it’s certainly better than those stupid “gamer” chairs, but please understand what you are buying.

If you are considering them, tbh I would just go directly to a seller on Alibaba like:

alibaba.com/…/New-Design-Ergonomic-Human-Reclinin…

Personally if I were you, I would look at buying a used Steelcase Leap. I bought one in leather in 2015 for $430 including shipping off eBay. Bought another one from a local dealer that had a ton from an office closeout and paid like $300. I’m looking on eBay right now and seeing pretty similar prices for used and refurbs.

Tekken8 reignited my love of fighting games as I used to play tekken3 all those years ago. The rampant cheating effectively encouraged by the company behind it prompted me to buy street fighter 6 and what a great game it is

Dhalsim is amazing! It’s great how you zone your opponent, shoot them out of the air when they try to jump you and so on, then when they least expect it you teleport in their face and rush them down. Feels so good when it works. Anyone else here playing fighting games?

I have a used Haworth Zody chair I found on eBay, have had it for going on eight years now and recommend it greatly. They’re around $175-250 used.

Seems like you have a lot of good suggestions already, but more couldn’t hurt.

I bought the following chairs (also from Staples coincidently) in 2022, and both have been great, but it looks like they’ve gone up in price.

TempurPedic 6400 Fabric Computer and Desk Chair Black TP6400BLK - $279.99 at time of purchase

TempurPedic Mesh Back Fabric Computer and Desk Chair Black TP6450BLKMB - 299.99 at time of purchase

Regardless of what chair you end up deciding on, the put it in your cart and wait a few days a trick is always helpful, and I would definitely recommend googling coupons for wherever you purchase it from.

Good luck!

If you’re in the US, the Workpro line from Office Depot are pretty good. I picked up the Momentum for about $260 during a sale.

PM_me_trebuchets,

I might look into that, thanks!

Basically all the classics from yesteryear… Check GOG for some great vintage games:

  • Rollercoaster Tycoon
  • Age of Empires II definitive edition
  • Sims 1/2
  • Neverwinter Nights

Also check out myabandonware.com. Many free legal old games, some of which are great.

Some more “recent” titles:

  • Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
  • Portal /Portal 2
  • Binding of Isaac
  • Vanpire Survivor Many, Many other indie games

Also check out anything 3rd party released for Nintendo Switch. Most of those pc counterparts would probably run on a laptop.

If you’re into emulating, SNES, GBA and N64 classics can be played.

ViscloReader,

I think you meant age of empires 2 hd edition. Definitive edition is the recent title which is way harder to run (at least for me)

Drummyralf,

Hmm interesting. DE is definately the better port, and minimum requirements were an intel 4000 chip, so I figured it would run on most laptops by now.

I guess you could always download the original from Archive.org. you would need to patch some stuff (I recall the water textures not working well on modern hardware) but should still work :)

Be specific, dude. Anything “can be played” on some sort of integrated graphics setup, depending on wtf we are talking about.

steeznson,

Please tell me you are not referring to the iconic Croc in this manner

Rimworld is primarily CPU bound. It’s potentially my favorite game ever.

just started a new play through of Batman: Arkham Knight

Factorio runs pretty well on my old laptop, but the bigger your setup gets, the more CPU cycles it takes. YMMV.

Warframe. Runs great on relatively minimal/stock computers. The best part is that the game is free to play as well.

superduperpirate,

Just try not to leak classified material in the forums

eRac,

Why would someone feel the need to leak classified info on the Warframe forums? It’s far-future scifi.

I think you are confusing it with War Thunder.

superduperpirate,

You’re right, I got those two confused. Whoops!

with my 10-year old laptop with Intel HD4000, I can run almost any GameCube or PS1-era game. XBox and PS2 run with limitations. 3DS and PSP also work great. the most I’ve pushed my laptop was Elite Dangerous on lowest settings. played for hundreds of hours but took many breaks since the laptop would overheat and crash
