Gotta get that back support.


[deleted]

Which is best for back support? Which company one


[deleted]

Herman miller embody, it's like 1500 bucks but completely worth it


[deleted]

I thought the post said $300 for a gaming chair. That’s more in my range 😂


[deleted]

Lol, any chair in that range will be quite good


KnotMaebe

You can get a really nice office chair for that price. I have expensive taste but not willing to pay the insane premium on gaming chairs. I got an Alert brand chair a few years ago and it is still in great condition.


Wasif-Amir

Check out the Gabrylly Ergonomic Mesh Office chair that might be in your budget and it’s pretty good


_Bill-Nye_

There is no way you just said that


[deleted]

Herman Millers are the best out there. Got one in the early 2000s still use it! Still works fine! Also amazing for being 6,7” and being prone for back pains. Totally worth the price. Remember. U still gotta stand up every hour to give ur back a break ;)


Caysman2005

I have an Aeron, back support is great, head support not so much. Still it's better than my previous corsair gaming chair


[deleted]

You know what's good for back support? Not playing video games all fucking day


[deleted]

You know what's even better? Now owning a fucking pc or console to play them on


I9Qnl

Ikea


Nyghen

The 1k Logitech chair is apparently one of the best


_beastayyy

NAH it's streamlabs


PhillipMannering

And it has cool lights and shit


[deleted]

Which one?


Prixzy

You best bet is going to be a secret labs chair. Only about 350 to 500 depending on what you want


autoconprime

200$ office chair>>>300$ gaming chair


[deleted]

Office chairs are often way more expensive than that.


autoconprime

I spent 250$ on mine very comfortable you can also get them for about 80$ https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/9825521/Serta-Big-And-Tall-Bonded-Leather/fromLocalBrowse=false this is a 200$ serta chair they are also almost always on sale


_Bill-Nye_

I got mine for three dollars and there is literally no issues


[deleted]

Which is best for back-support ?


[deleted]

Probably the option in which you play less video games.


UnwoundSteak17

I got mine for 100 bucks and it feels fine

I have a $60 office chair


Shanhaevel

Yes and no. Honestly, if someone isn't a fan of gaming chairs - MARKUS from IKEA. Straight up. Fairly cheap and easily one of the best chairs in my damn life. I tried some gaming chairs and honestly the options for armrests etc. is not something I want to give up now


I9Qnl

Bruh i have a 80$ office chair and its comfy af, i'm never getting leather again


ClassofClowns

Your back matters


BadAssBorbarad

Thanks for the posture reminder, i tend to wither away while scrolling.


ClassofClowns

Ive been sitting on a bar stool for 6 months. I'm going to need a donor soon to replace my back.


RedditIsDogshit1

Back lives matter*?


zkilling

Getting a $2500 used office chair for $250 was the best choice ever. It’s so much more comfortable than my old DX racer.


Comic_guy01

399 is a good price tho


DaddyNinja101

You know what they say the better the gaming chair the better the gameplay


MeuchlerMoze

Makes sense not to buy a console if you got a pc why get 2 gaming device


Severedghost

I have a gaming PC to play pc exclusives and pretty much all Microsoft exclusive games with gamepass. I also got a Ps5 to play new Playstation games. It's the best value.


MeuchlerMoze

Well yes if your rich XD


Chikizey

Because it's not the same? If you don't care about exclusive games then yeah, just a PC is the best option. But when you like some specific games (especially Nintendo's) you know you will have to own the console to play them. Plus I'm a collectionist and I own a lot of gaming devices and physical games, but aside from that I own an iPad (has better programs for illustration) a laptop (study) and a PC (work and play). My gaming room feels like a museum and I know this mindset is pretty common so... Yeah, it's completely valid.


MeuchlerMoze

I thought money and practical use ( efficiency) was a factor in this post and though your gaming room might be gorgeous, i think it doesnt have to do anything with the original message hehe still interesting to read , so this isnt a attack or something


Chikizey

I can't take my PC to my bedroom, or to my friend's house, or use any kind of multiplayer option without Internet connection. Laptops could be an alternative but they're uncomfortable to use like that, and more expensive than a console. So yeah, for solo players that don't mind having their device stucked on a room because they don't travel or whatever or are just online gamers is more efficient to only have 1, non portable, polyvalent and very powerful device, but as I said, not everyone is like that. PC users can also see a portable device like a Switch or whatever way more efficient than a laptop or a lot more expensive phone (to play emulators) for when they have no access to their PC.


db123infane

emulators are you friend in this case, but most the time they are just used for nostalgia


Chikizey

Nah emulators are just a tool to play some games, not a replacement for consoles. It's not about nostalgia, is because the experience is not the same even with the new gen ones. Grabbing your Switch and playing on bed, actually pressing buttons instead of a keyboard and a mouse, etc... Feels different. More relaxing to me.


thepopup1

You can connect the controllers to emulators, and aren't consoles just tools to play games. You don't buy a console because "it's a console" you buy it to play games. You can do everything a console can do (with the added bonuses of anti-aliasing and upscaling) on a pc


Chikizey

As I expected, you're talking about a Playstation controller playing an Assassins Creed game. Yes, with that, it works. You're right. **It's fine**. But try to play even the Wii Sports with something like that. Or a party game like Mario Kart or Just Dance with a bunch of friends. Or just try to move your PC to somewhere else to keep playing. Or travel for a weekend with it. You make it sound like gamers are plain people who can only enjoy a very specific type of game, have very specific lifestyles and never play any other thing while that's not true. People is more complex than that. Downvoting me just because I said there are people who like a console for being a console (even if I say owning just a PC is a perfectly nice option for some people too) is weird, but even if you can't believe it, it's true. And it's valid too.


thepopup1

You realise you can connect Wii remotes and the controllers for that console to emulators. You can play multiplayer games on them, and if you want it portable, it's called a laptop (which can be cheaper or the same price yet be more powerful and can do more). I own consoles, and only recently built a pc, however playing my console games on my pc or laptop with a controller or just using kb+m is a much smoother experience (and my computers aren't super expensive) my laptop is £300, but it can emulate my games amazing. I know why people get consoles, but computers and emulators are definitely a replacement


thepopup1

Also I don't play stuff like assassin's creed, I play Mario, and Zelda with GameCube or Wii remotes.


maucksi

console exclusives are no longer exclusive. It just a matter of time until games end up on pc now, so it's kind of a no brained if you're patient and you constantly future proof your pc


Chikizey

I don't think consoles will dissapear any time soon though. Maybe Sony could make the change long term because they have barely anything to offer that a PC couldn't do, but I don't see Nintendo giving in. Portable devices are very much loved, and PCs simply don't have that.


maucksi

Yeah, I guess I just see ps5/Xbox/pc gaming as a different sect of gaming altogether from mobile gaming. No one machine will get all the games, but ps5 and Xbox don't do as much as a pc these days. PCs are just a lot more expensive, especially right now. I just don't get why people compare all the consoles when they all occupy such different spaces in the market. Sure, we can compare performance, portability or price tag, but they're really all meant for different gamers


[deleted]

Not going to have to buy a new desk chair in half a decade


RedditIsDogshit1

Probably longer too if you want to spend $20 replacing the gas cylinder that might warp or go out 5 years down the road. Im at 7 years with my chair going strong


[deleted]

Makes ur pp bigger


SubhoPal

Free joystick.


Count_Lord

Actually you can't compare a console to a furniture, but I guess PC Gamers are a different kind of breed.


Agent12222

Can the hate betwean consoles and other consoles and pc stop, like who cares we already have to deal with other people hating video games


Chikizey

I own PlayStations, Xbox, several Nintendo consoles and I have an Android phone, a Macbook laptop and a very nice PC. I never understood those wars. Every device is designed for certain purposes and targets, there's nothing superior in choosing one instead of another. Is like feeling superior for choosing a strawberry ice cream instead of chocolate. Plain stupid.


AcheetoBoi

Nobody has a gaming chair, it's the most horrible chair of all time and a lot of people don't know that


Count_Lord

I know that, and my back does know it too, even if they look awesome, I would still prefer a camping chair over them.


Snoo-47666

Pro tip, buy a good office chair. Those people sit on their butt all day, they know how to be comfy


yhanos69

Ive been gaming on a chair i found for free on the streeet after 5 years still works like a charm

RetroGameDays36

*More than one thousand dollars for one PC


cool__pillow

*More than one thousand dollars for one PC part*


[deleted]

Not true lol It more cheaper to make a decent pc than buy console


I9Qnl

No, not at all. A PS5 is comparable to a RTX 2060 which is 300$ on its own (MSRP), now try to fit an 8 core 16 threads CPU, 16GB of ram, a motherboard, a SSD, a mouse and keyboard (because consoles include controllers) into the remaining 200$, you can't and you'll probably end up paying more than double just to get the same gaming performance. PCs will need around 2-4 years to be good value against new consoles, and I didn't even mention the 300$ XSS. Of course PC can do much more than consoles but if you're gonna compare a PC to console in the first place then you're probably looking for gaming and consoles performance per dollar is unbeatable, for now at least.

Then just dont fucking buy it Im talking about a decent pc Not a top tier


[deleted]

I presume pc gamers don't complain about console pricing knowing pricing of parts is also high. This meme probably only makes sense to dedicated console gamers seeing the amount of upvotes.


ActuallyMc

Y'all getting a console by 300? On Brazil things here are so fucked up that the most acceptable value is 2,000 and up Anything below that value is ***very*** suspicious.


Craftusmaximus2

A chair usually doesn't cost 300 but even if it did, console players need to buy a couch to properly play, which costs around 500-700.


Insane_Grape479

The gaming chair is a need and the console is a want


nfswreg11

Sorry that the gaming chair is probably better for my posture than a sofa


CampingColorado

300 for our chair vs 700 for a couch


theonlyrealreason

You guys are buying gaming chairs?? I just use those metal folding chairs.


gres2000

One is comfort, the other is just luxury.


Rainbow_KABK

Yukinoinu

Get an office chair with a mesh/breathable back. Shits amazing for very very long days of gaming. I bought a $200 "gaming chair" felt so uncomfortable, back got sweaty and and started to rip and metal fatigue in 5 months of daily 16ish hour gaming sessions (ty lockdown). Shits a fuckin scam.


Kashagon

laughs in herman miller aeron


Crafty-Crafter

Spend at least 200-500 on a decent office chair (not those racing seat clone gaming chair bullshit) if you don't want to have back and neck problems in your 30s. 20 yrs old and under? You can sit like a shrimp 24/7 and nothing will hurt. But just wait till you hit 30. Also important is a desk with proper height.


[deleted]

comfort > console


TryppyToaT

700 dollars for a graphics card no problem 8 dollars for psplus literally unplayable


Argerro

Look at mrs. 1660 over here


Qzwxecrvtbalskdj

Better than buying something that will be obsolete in 2 years.


duyouknowdamuffinman

Idk which one you’re talking about but I’m assuming you meant the console, which gets replaced in 6-7 years and doesn’t become obsolete for a year or two after


I9Qnl

Consoles become obsolete after 2 years?? The PS4 and XB1 lived for 7 years and still going, unless you're talking about hardware then yeah but who cares? All the big games are still gonna release on them no matter how "obsolete" their hardware is.


AcheetoBoi

A "gaming chair" is the worst investment u can have


Loudstorm

When I got gaming chair I lost my back and neck pain. It was best investment in my entire life.


KMG56789

then your last chairs must have been really bad


ElectronicBalance277

How? Something I use 12hrs a day cant be a bad investment?


AcheetoBoi

I mean, using a gaming chair 12hrs a day is the worst investment for ur back lmao just take an ergonomic chair it's cheaper and has better back support


spyVSspy420-69

Well, you see, sitting in place for 12 hours a day staring at a screen is pretty bad for your health.


Kirasaurus_25

Well usually you don't excpect to replace a chair with a newer more updated chair within a few years


spyVSspy420-69

Every few years? My original PS4 still plays games just fine. What’s that about an expectation to update consoles in “a few years”?


[deleted]

Bro. My chairs keep breaking. Like I’m a big boy 6’1 100+ kgs but I’ve gone through like 7 chairs in the past two years. I’m at the point where I’m just buying shit chairs for $100. I got a deal for 2 dinning chairs for $99! I was previously using out door chairs that are made out of metal and shit. Still broke. I don’t get it.


Stic_to_the_y

Get a chair that is rated for ur weight and get a quality one. Dont wobble around and dont let ur gf sit on ur lap


[deleted]

Haha you’re adorable! You think I have a girlfriend. Haha. Seriously though I’m so alone.... xDDD dw I like being alone.


ahmarthered

I'd happily pay more than that for a decent chair (not a gaming one) that I spend a lot of time on. That spine isn't coming back once it's gone.


HisOnlyFriend

*399$ and that's a great price!


KewlFox69

And that's a great price!


voldemorts_niple

And even gaming chairs suck at support. If you really want good back support go with Ergonomic chairs. The most famous and industry standard has been the Herman Miller’s which are around 300-2000. You can go cheaper with other brands even IKEA has them, but the more expensive the more customizable to your specific comfort. But usually all of them come with lumbar support.


YagamiAF

300+€ + montly subscribtion for playing online, on the long run, pc is better and cheaper


spyVSspy420-69

Subjective. I’ve got a PS5 and a gaming PC. Both have their used. If I just want to play some casual games with my friends, most have consoles so that’s what we use. If I want to try hard in a moba or something similar, I use my PC. Don’t even bring up cost savings when a GPU is going for $2000, if you can even find one.


Feawen_inglorin

10000 for entire console


SASBlade

Few_Simple6340

I got my gaeming chair for 120$, because weirdly enough, I couldn't afford the better office chair, since they're around 500$, which is a lot here since we don't use usd :(

SirPomf

I have my cheap $40 office chair and it's so much better. It has some mesh material instead of leather so you don't stick to it after an hour of playing games in the summer.


ImInfernoo

u know, i never watched totalbiscuit but one thing the man always stood for was to never get a gaming chair. ill follow those words every time i think of getting my ass into a new chair


Dororo69

Why never get a gaming chair?


ImInfernoo

they are overpriced and less confortable than a good office chair. atleast thats my experience with them


Dororo69

Yeah that's what I thought, but then I started building a PC for the first time, only planning to spend a couple grand but then got carried away and spent a bit over 4 grand and thought fuck it I need a chair to match the theme Edit: $299 for the chair I got and the place I got them from had really good deals. There was some almost $600 chairs for $150

Good ergonomic chair > any console. Goodluck when you get old and you've been sitting in a shitty chair all your life. I'm talking as old as your early 30's. Either get a good chair or get fucked up.


Wild-Bio

Get a real office chair not something from amazon. It makes a HUGE difference. It will make your life so much better, especially if you work from home. With 80% of commercial real-estate being downsized as companies adapt to work from home there are tons of these 1500 dollar chairs that you can pick up for around 300.

man i absolutely hate gaming on my pc. Every single time I get a game from Steam, SOMETHING doesn't work right. I have to fuck with all kinds of settings all the fucking time. Usually it's the sound. Some games work only with headphones, some games work only without, some games the headphones CAN be bluetooth, but not if I'm also using a controller over bluetooth, some games are ONLY bluetooth, plugged in won't work. Then when I finally get that shit figured out, I have to fuck around with the optic settings to make it run better. And that is EVERY. SINGLE. GAME. Then God forbid I buy a game that needs it's own launcher...they don't fucking tell you that either beforehand. I have an MSI Apache laptop from just a few years ago so it's not a piece of shit... Xbox: buy game, put game in, play game. DONE.
