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

[-] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

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

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

[-] IrateAnteater@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

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@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Gamer force?

[-] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 1 points 1 week ago

Then that's even more stupid 😭

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.

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.

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

[-] BillyClark@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago

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

I will not stand idly by while a dragon burns down my hold and sloughters my people!

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.

I think those chairs are one of the few truly common American experiences.

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.

[-] Janx@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago

Did your friend learn their lesson? Not saying they did anything wrong, but the cat clearly wanted to teach them a lesson!
