We used to use one of our dining room table chairs.
This is so not untrue that it is almost not funny enough to be a joke. I still have back problems from those days
Recliner TV armchair. Gaming chairs are for noobs!
You joke but I had an upholstered armchair playing wow in 2005.
Its called the floor.
I remember having folding chairs for the computer desk throughout most of the 90’s.
And when you were done using the computer, the chair went back to its designated place between the desk and the wall.
Mine just stood there, in the way, until it gave out and then we brought out another folding chair just like it. And boy were these folding chairs heavy.
…Opulent and imperial. Gazing proudly from its stoic perch before the desk. I lived all my years in that ancient, rumor-shadowed seat. Fattened by decadence and luxury…
Where is this from?
It’s paraphrasing the intro voiceover from Darkest Dungeon, which the post title reminded me of. (It starts "You remember our venerable house, opulent and imperial…")
Beautiful … mine looked like the one pictured here but one size smaller. It was an old antique chair that my wife kept for years dreaming that she would reupholster it some day. Big giant wooden back with a piece of fabric cushion, giant uncomfortable armrests, sharp wooden seat lining and a collapsed center cushion that I filled with pillows and blankets … it was my captain’s chair for about the first five years of being online in the late 90s. I can still hear the dial up sound of the modem as I adjusted the pillows and fabrics for another session of being online … and then shouting at my wife to not use the phone as I lost my connection again.
Back in that era, I had a chair that was just a rigid tube frame with nice cloth-covered padding. It was like a waiting room chair rather than an office chair.
That thing was S-tier PC gaming seating for a decade. One time a joint broke and I used somebody’s welder to fix it and get a few more years.
My family just got whatever overstuffed CEO’s desk chairs looked comfy from Mad Man Mund’s. Had a vintage orange one for a while, that one was great.
Don’t remind me I had a kitchen chair for a long time before I bought my proper chair… My back men… My back…
Giant, uncomfortable, hardbacked, scraping across the floor to push back, as heavy as my sins and twice as ugly?
Miss it every day. Times were more simple. Now my computer chair has rollerblade wheels…
The real gaming chair.
Bonus points: look like a true boss on work video calls.
It’s prolly uncomfortable AF and I still want it so bad.
