Current Events > Sat in one of those gaming chairs for 5 minutes today. My back hurt immediately

(+) Yeah! (+)

Right after getting up a bit of pain in my back. These things are legit torture machines. How do those youtubers and other internet video makers do it, sit in one of those uncomfortable things for so long?

Sounds like an i.d. 10 t error

Its funny because I actually thought the little pillow thing they have in the chair would help but its not ergonomic at all it basically stabs your lower back

Would not recommend

One thing I will say is that those chairs do feel noticeably different once they've been broken in, so if you were sitting on a demo model or something like that it would definitely feel rougher than it would after a couple weeks of use.

That being said, I'm of the mind that if you're going to spend that much money on a chair for a PC setup... you're far better off getting one of those big padded leather executive office chairs which will cost as much (if not less) and be a million times more comfortable.

I always assumed the reason I thought they looked so uncomfortable is that I still have a console gaming reptile brain that associates comfortable armchairs with gaming more than literal fucking swivel chairs, and it's very gratifying to have that assumption proven right.

Those are my first choice! But for the life of me I can't find them . Also have come to learn ikea and those Swedish furniture stores suck
