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

I’ve been thinking about the same thing. I know that the chairs I’d like to get are like $700-1000, but I can’t justify that cost while not consistently making money (full-time school for now).

I do spend a lot of time sitting at my desk, so I guess if you break down the price by hours in use, it’s not ridiculous to pay so much for a chair that lasts a decade.

Hopefully I can find a solid refurbish for around $400 eventually… but probably not.

You must not have seen my reply in that thread:

My husband and I both have been using Tempur-Pedic office chairs for about 15 years. Starting in 2004, we both worked desk jobs from home (he still does, I only recently shifted careers) and both play video games so we have used the shit out of our chairs, and they are still good. I like that the seat is wide enough so I can fold my legs up under me if I want to.

ComicalMayhem, do games w "Dominion of Darkness" - simulator of the evil overlord, I am looking for testers

I’ll take a deeper look at it when I have time. Heads up though, I tried using it through Firefox on Android with dark mode, and the black text blended with the black background, lol. probably not anything to do with your code or whatever though.

Adeptus,

Thanks for Your intetest! Yes, as I wrote on the game site, itch version sometimes doesn't work on the phones with Android. If it is the case, You can play downloadable version: https://www.mediafire.com/file/4zds96slas3uw31/Dominion_of_Darkness_2.55.html/file . It works fine even when online version don't.

If you haven’t looked into used office furniture stores near you, I would highly suggest it. Depending on where you live you could get anywhere from 40 to 80% off, and big name $1k retail chairs are built to last 10+ years and are often lightly refurbished at these stores (and they usually can order parts and do repairs in shop)

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

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

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.

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.

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

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).

I got a IKEA Markus for like 150 euros before the pandemic started. Been sitting on it 95% of my working hours since, and honestly don’t have any complaints.

Sure it’s not very adjustable or comparable to 1k+ chairs, but pretty damn good for the price.

Love my Markus. It’s so much better than it has any right to be at that price point. It forces me to sit upright and have good posture.

hemko,

Swedes definitely do some things better than their dogshit hockey

mtlvmpr,

You’re not stubborn enough.

-Currently “sitting” in one with one leg on the table and my upper back touching the lumbar support
