    sit somewhere super comfortable

    They are implying my desk isn’t comfortable.

    How rude.

      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.

          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

          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.

          I really want a Håg Capisco to replace my cheap Ikea Järvfjället. Shit’s super ergonomic, I always prefer those at work.
