My first computer chair was a whole ass couch, pulled up to the desk. No armrests sucked.

captainlezbian,

Oh I love couch gaming. I Hdmi into the TV from my desktop and grab a controller

emeralddawn45,

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.

I like my office chair. I have also been known to sit in a folding chair or kitchen table chair. Can’t stand “gaming chairs”. I sit in those things like a shrimp, and mangle my spine.

CheeseNoodle, do games w What is immersion to you?

I think a big one to me is when the world doesn’t revovle around me, when things happen without player input because the player isn’t the centre of the universe. Every NPC just wating in stasis or walking on a preset loop forever until I hit the next event trigger really kills immersion.

I only know a couple of games that do this:

Stalker: Anomaly X4: Foundations Dwarf Fortress

Edit: Forgot Saelig.

Any chair is a gaming chair if you game while sitting in it.

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.

I’m shopping for a home office chair I’ll also use for gaming and it sucks. Basically no stores carry samples in store anymore and those who do only carry those bucket seat atrocities. I’m ->||<- this close to just getting a big ol’ lazboy from a relative or something. And I don’t have cash for a Herman Miller or whatever.

Find a used office supply store. Wife got a Herman Miller Aeron for $100.

Shit that’s what I use now

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.

Office chairs have always been, and probably will always be, the way to go

Yeah, gaming chairs aren’t great for being comfy since they are modelled after race seats which are made to make you focus

IrateAnteater,

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.

Carnelian,

Gamer force?

Axolotl_cpp,
@Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it avatar

Then that’s even more stupid 😭

Lemmyoutofhere,
@Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca avatar

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.

BillyClark,

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.

Lemmyoutofhere,
@Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca avatar

And? They are great, and cheap second hand.

captainlezbian,

Hush let the companies give low level office workers great ergonomic chairs. I’ve spent too much time in bad office chairs

BillyClark,

It doesn’t matter. Those companies went out of business about 20 years ago, and the new companies have their own chair policies.

emeralddawn45,

That actually is how it definitely should be. If you’re gonna make someone sit in a chair doing pointless work for eight hours, it better be a chair that’s less likely to give them lasting damage. Companies that give shitty office chairs should be sued for endangering their workers.

neidu3,

Yup. Gaming chairs are just office chairs with a car seat aesthetic for 8 year olds.

People sat on trashcans or kitchen chairs or whatever, new gen needs a special chair to game smh. /s

Jokes aside, I remember watching a video where some pro gamer (Starcraft maybe?) showed off where he learned to play, and it was basically sideways on a crowded credenza in the kitchen.

Gaming will, uh, find a way.

Its a fun game! I have found sometimes the way of dealing with followers is…just to have less of them lol. Just letting them die, throw them into the compost and call it a day.

I just beat the new DLC. It was really fun! I liked going into the new areas.

brsrklf,

Depends, at some points you need enough to progress. I might have been a little too controlling of my cult’s population for my playthrough, because there were several times I struggled a bit to meet the requirement.

Haven’t bought the latest DLC yet. I might return to it.

Followers agree probably the best resource. I think enlightenment ritual is super useful for getting devotion to unlock buildings and upgrades. You can also become a cannible which is significantly helpful for increasing faith with, again, is good for building devotion, plus no need for buriels. Most people pick grass eater, this advice might come too late.
