It's not comfortable if you've been sitting there working for the past ~8 hours. I know a lot of people with computer-based jobs prefer playing games in different rooms of the house so that they can do something besides sit in front of their computer.
A better office chair really helps with that.
It's not about physical comfort, but the environment. I have a beefy gaming desktop but most of the time I end up playing on my SD in the living room because I associate my office with work.
Highly recommend buying a second hand/used Aeron chair. They are stupid expensive new, but luckily they are popular with tech startups. When those startups inevitably fail, they sell their chairs at a deep discount. I’ve bought two like that and I suspect they will last forever.
One is a decade old and the only thing that has failed was a hip joint. $12 on eBay and we’re back in business.
seconf hand steelcase leaps are great too.
I really want a Håg Capisco to replace my cheap Ikea Järvfjället. Shit's super ergonomic, I always prefer those at work.
^^ It’s me, he’s talking about me and my tribe of people!
Amongst other factors, it's one of the causes of the whole "I'm finally an adult, I spent a lot of time and money building my PC gaming setup... yet I don't game, I just stare at my Steam library and that's somehow it".
To anyone feeling this, try using Steam Link or Sunshine/Moonlight to stream to your TV if you have one. You get the old sitting in the couch with a big screen feeling of a console, but with all the benefits of your PC.
Seconded.
I keep a wireless mouse and keyboard near both of my TVs/comfy chairs and have a main controller I use wireless in one room but wired in another so I don't need to re-pair it.
My gaming PC is setup for Wake On LAN so I can wake it from my phone. Once work is over I can melt into a recliner and either take over the TV as my computer or (if the wife wants the TV and I want to hang out) pull out the Deck and load up Moonlight on that
