For console gaming the best is armchair.

In my setup I switch between office chair and armchair, I can slide the armchair easily to my desk.

Haha , I like this.

Wow, people actually own dedicated gaming chairs here.

I'm so damn cheap, I don't even want to waste money buying a comfortable office chair, I sit and game on a good old wooden kitchen chair lol

I only got mine because my no brand cheap chair broke and the Racer 1 was the first one that popped up at Amazon and had decent ratings.

It will. It will also hurt your butt. And your shins. And you will start cheating.

I'm speaking from experience here. I use a somewhat high class leather version of this for work and I'd never use it for gaming. Way too uncomfortable. It's perfect for work because it forces me to get up and walk around once in a while as well as change up my position constantly. I put my feet up on the shinrest a lot and sometimes it just turn the whole thing around and sit on it 'the wrong way around'. All of wich is good for the back, but not very condusive to console gaming.

My vote would be couch, bed or recliner. Matress and cushions on the floor maybe.



I sit on my son's shoulders. I'm trying to make a man out of him.

But your cheap chair was an office chair, right?

Is the Racer 1 more comfortakle you think? Costs nearly 300 Euros it seems.

Btw, when does the parts for your new PC arrive?

Yeah the old one was an office chair for 40€ or so. It's really hard for me to find comfortable chairs because of my height.

The Racer is alright but it has sharply slanted edges on the seat so my fat ass won't fit properly. I fixed it by putting a cushion on it and now it's fine. Assembly and quality are pretty good.

Parts for my new PC are due tomorrow and the case on friday. Could be later for both though.

At least it looks comfortable and luxury. I'm tempted to buy one, but perhaps look for a no-name cheap knockoff lol

You're gonna love that NZXT 820 case.



Just hang on the couch.

Well do you think it would work for me given my height difference with you?  I'm only 165 lbs so I'm not worried about the ass part.

 

also guys I've honestly had my console in many rooms and while basic chairs and the bed work fine, I usually start slouching cause I can't sit up straight while using the backrest on them so that's why I'm looking at the racer and such.  I also don't like how many chairs and car seats now have a headrest that juts out making it impossible to have your back flush against it without having your neck bent looking down.  I have an 03 JEtta with a really comfy seat if that's a good reference lol

Naw man that just leaves it up to me.  I would just use a stool.  I like a good backrest that supports good posture rather than punishing it like many chairs seem to
