I need to take a shit and I’m sad I can’t take my game with me (I don’t have a steam deck).
rikudou@lemmings.world 2 months ago
Buy a phone controller (like Razer Kishi or Razer Junglecat) and use some streaming technology to play your PC games on phone. My favourite is Sunshine/Moonlight combo, but Steam Link might work as well for you.
cotlovan@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Just use steam (or ps/xb) remote play

Why is there a toilet in the gaming room and in the living room in the first two pictures?
Hamknight@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The joke is that handheld gamers can play anywhere, well at least with this edit. The original only had him on the toilet.
dadarobot@lemmy.sdf.org 2 months ago
I took this as “i play on a gaming chair, couch, or anywhere else” or maybe “steamdeck is a pc, console, and handheld”

Imo the most iconic and representative of the best place for steam deck is while traveling.
8 hour flight? Do I have my deck?

Careful, if you spend 8 hours playing with your deck you might go blind

Or from the car or in bed under the covers.

Disgusting. I have never and will never use my phone or a gaming console in the bathroom. I go to the bathroom, and then fucking leave. I’ll never understand sitting there forever.

So glad for you to have properly functioning bowels. You’re among the lucky ones and should just be grateful and shut the fuck up

I take it you don’t have kids.
Taking 10 or 15 minutes to “shit” is a much needed break. Especially when there’s another parent home (or the kids are old enough) and you can shut the door.

VR desktop streamers, do the same thing but optionally in multimonitor 4k and don’t have to look at our hands the whole time. Also can play on a recliner comfortably. My neck is in so much better shape since I started using my VR headset to stream instead of a phone or other handheld. Plus the screens are 20 feet away, nice on the eyes. And still take up 80 degrees of my field of view. Not sure what effective size that makes them, but it’s bigger and nicer looking than a theatre screen.
rikudou@lemmings.world 2 months ago
I once tried it for work, it was nice, just lying down in a comfortable position and simply moving the screen wherever I wanted it.

Been PC gaming on the couch for years now, either using a controller, trackball and 75% keyboard or a steam controller. Mouse pads are for work only as far as I’m concerned.

You people use the backbuttons?
Telorand@reddthat.com 2 months ago
Always, when a game tries to force me to use a stick-click to sprint or I need to perform an action with ABXY while turning via right stick/pad.
nichtburningturtle@feddit.org 2 months ago
Their positioning is sadly uncomfortable for me, since I do enjoy the ones on my modded ps5 controller.
glitchdx@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’ve been begging for such buttons since fucking 2009, and everyone laughed at me for wanting customizable controls.
Look who’s laughing now. (it’s me, with my mouse and keyboard and lack of friends and I never need to touch a controller again!)

Steam Input is amazing, and something that I feel doesn’t get nearly as much credit as it deserves. You can literally make anything do anything. You can even create on-screen rotary menus and shit.
I saw a comment on Lemmy a while back where someone said they hated steam input and I just didn’t understand what possible issue anyone could ever have with it.

“Gaming Chairs” are for idiot consumers. Office chairs are where it’s at. Office chairs are designed to be sat in for 8+ hours a day.
jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 2 months ago
You want a chair that makes it look like you’re about to lay off the bottom 10% performers.
ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Some folks like bottom performers. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
hydroxycotton@lemmy.world 2 months ago
99 percent of “office chairs” are the same poorly constructed garbage that “gaming chairs” are. Actually good chairs are 400-1000+ which most people cannot afford unfortunately.
RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
Any office chair in similar price range would be at least somewhat better than a gaming chair. Gaming chairs are also overpriced so there really is no reason to but one unless you prefer looks (subjective) over comfort for done reason. I was looking for some affordable refurbished ones like leap but it was either out of my price range or hard to find a good one. Ended up buying a cheap office chair, kinda regret it but ig you get what you pay for.
kitnaht@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Most gaming chairs are an easy 200+. At that price range, an office chair is GOING to outperform it in terms of comfort.
priapus@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
You can get very high end office chairs incredibly cheap if you looks used. It’s not hard to all to find Steelcase Leaps and Herman Miller Aerons under $300 on Craigslist, eBay, FB Marketplace, or used office supply stores.

My office chair is a gaming chair (seems fine), my gaming chair is the sofa and a big pile of cushions (and the bog, of course)
odium@programming.dev 2 months ago
My office chair and gaming chair are both the same office chair. I swap the same monitor’s connection between my work laptop and pc depending on time of day.
LordKitsuna@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I tried so many different office chairs, they all sucked. Even the more expensive ones. But the “secret labs” gaming chair was perfect. Gives whatever support my fucked up spine needs, has the right mix of cush but firm. And the little magnetic pillow is in the perfect spot. It was very expensive but worth it to me.
Most gaming chairs are memes tho I’ll say
lobut@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
I’m not getting it but those gaming chairs look like racing car chairs. I didn’t think those seats were particularly comfortable either because I thought they kept you in place when things you’re zipping around?
glitchdx@lemmy.world 2 months ago
They’re not comfortable, they’re fashionable. You pay extra to be hip with it.
Psythik@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Office chairs cause back pain, just like gaming chairs.
What you really want is a nice recliner and a big TV. Keyboard in lap, mouse on arm rest (or end table). I’ve been computing this way since 2008 and I’ll never go back to a desk ever again.
Aceticon@lemmy.world 2 months ago
If you’re getting back pain from an office chair then your arse is likely too far forward when you’re sitting and you’re putting pressure on your spine due it being at an angle other than 90 degrees from the seat, or your table is too low, lowering your arms, so you’re bending forward.
You’re suppose to feel your arse pushing against the back of the chair not leaving enough of a hole between the chair and your lower back that you can fit an arm in it, and when your arms are resting on the table (which they should be pretty much all the time if your keyboard and mouse are sufficiently forward) you should feel no pressure either downwards or upwards on your shoulders
I’ve been coding for over 3 decades, often for massive long hours (to the point that by the age of 17 I had RSI due to how my wrists were resting at the edge of the table and some years later when already doing it professionally went to the doctor with chest pain - which I feared were due to a hearth condition - which turned out to be work posture related) and at some point in my mid 20s I moved to The Netherlands and to a company which had its own Ergonomics Consultant (this was back in the peak of the 90s Tech boom so there was lots of money sloshing around) who would come around when you joined and adjust everything for you (they even had tables with adjustable height) and explain you all about the correct work posture.
Been following that advice and haven’t had posture related problems since then whilst always using pretty standard office chairs (always with adjustable height, tough).
I have however seen plenty of people doing the lazy (and stupid) posture of being all the way forward on their chair and quite a lot with arms too low or too high (which is more understandable since most cheap office tables don’t have adjustable height).
ech@lemm.ee 2 months ago
It’s a bite to the wallet to get a decent chair, but definitely worth it, and can still be done for sub-$1000 too.
GBU_28@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Find a good used office supply company. You can find top notch chairs like aerons that have a scratch or ding for half the price. They are usually good with single customers for these lightly used chair.
d00ery@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The better office chairs have 10+ year warranties, if you spread out the cost of buying a cheap chair (£150) every 2 years Vs a £1000 one that lasts 10 years its not such a huge difference in price whilst the benefits to your back are worth much more.
I know not everyone can afford this, but it’s worth checking for interest free credit from either the manufacturer, store, or even PayPal / klarna (which is what I did).
kitnaht@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I managed to get my whole family some really good office chairs because a local business chucked them all in a local dumpster. Most of them just needed to have the foot-rests removed to be completely perfect. I looked them up, and they are all $600+ chairs brand new.

I have a wooden dining table chair. It swivels, there is no cushion at all. Every time I think about replacing it, I look at what a gaming good gaming chair costs and I say “nah, I’m good”.
SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I sit on a IKEA barstool without cushioning behind a jury rigged standing desk. Actually solved my back pain that I got from an office chair. Probably because I’m forced to sit more at the front of the chair since it’s hard to push the chair close to the desk once I’m sitting on it. I can’t lean back, so my back is straight.
I’m of the opinion that using a really good comfy chair everyday for 8 hours that relaxes your body is probably not good for you in the long run. It makes your body weak. It’s like sitting on a sofa all day.
I know people that sit on the floor all day on a sturdy cushion in a lotus position behind a coffee table they use as a desk. They never have pain in their back or anywhere else. If you can sit with your back straight and your hips are at 90+ degrees angle so your knees are below your hips you will reduce the chances of getting issues with your back significantly and it doesn’t really matter what kind of chair you use.
RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’ll take an Aeron chair.

You can get 'em for <$500 if you look the right places.
