How did gamers fall for this shitty bullshit ass typer of chair
>>740168573Most gamers are third worlders who fall for anything garish.
>>740168573I have a La-Z-Boy with a swivel base that I paid extra for. It's all I need.
>>740168573Marketing
>>740168573The average office chair being total garbage helps
>>740168809I got one of those and the pleather is already starting to peel off after a year. More like La-Z manufacturing. I'm never buying anything with pleather again.
>yeah bro don't spend 150 dollars on that chair>just spend 1800 on this herman miller instead>god too expensive for a chair? fine just buy one of these 500 dollar used ones they're only lightly shat on
>>740168573>Just buy a normal cha-ACK
>>740168573People in general don't understand that comfort comes from good ergonomics and not from how many pillow are strapped to the chair. You basically want an expensive office chair actually designed for sitting in for 10+ hours.
>>740169196>You basically want an expensive office chair actually designed for sitting in for 10+ hours.Decent chairs are expensive af though
>>740169129There are three things you don't skimp out on: mattress, shoes and tires. You should probably squeeze an office chair in as +1 these days.
Y'all cowards don't even smoke crack.
>>740169294you forgot furry porn
>>740168573I got a decent office chair with lumbar support and arm rests. cost 100 bucks or so but it's been worth it.sat in one of those racers that a friend bought and it's horribly uncomfortable.would love a herman miller though
>>740168573idk but i use this, it's great
>>740168573>go to a real furniture store>every "desk" chair is extremely uncomfortable and more expensive>decide to go to Staples/BestBuy/Walmart and buy a "gamer" chair for like $100It may fall apart in like 3 years but it's better than nothing. Literally only Herman Miller makes a good chair and like the other anon said it's $1000+.
>>740169594all puffy chairs are shit if you sit in them for a long time because they'll deform and deflate
>>740169638you can find good used Aerons all over the place for like $500, they last forever so even one 10+ years old is fine
Whyte Amerikkkan marketing companies shilled this day and night until NPCs latched on.
>>740169638>furniture store>not an office supply storeu dun fuked up
>>740168573My mom asked if I wanted this shit to play games and I told her fuck no just get me a regular ass office chair.
>>740169681if it were a cheap piece of shit you'd be right don't ever buy anything with 'memory foam', it will be flat as a board in three months
>>740169909>when a chair costs as much as my first used carjesus christ
>>740169909>>740169594My problem with these chairs is they get hot and musty when I fap. Science needs to solve that already.
If I had space I'd honestly just get a full massage chair. Or a beanbag chair. Possibly both.
eyecatcher for e-cockroaches
>>740169276This, I would love a chair like this one >>740169196 since I'm dire need of a replacement, but I'm not buying a chair that costs as much as my whole PC setup.
>>740168573because they're all exactly one identical chair with different branding you're paying for.
>>740169638IT'S AFUCKINGCHAIR
>>740169294monitor too. if you're a basement faggot who stares at a screen 14 hours a day
>>740170008i paid like $600 through various means it was at a warehouse sale so was discounted and i also used a family member's employee discount on top of that they have some insanely expensive shit, though it is all very well made and will last a lifetime
>>740168573People are uninformed and don't do the proper research before making a decision.
>>740170028leather is the way to go for longevity, you can't even cum stain it
>>740170280That chair will not last your a lifetime.
Chairs without a headrest don't seem comfy to me. When gaming, I prefer a reclined lounging position. I also often sit crosslegged so I like a large possibly flat seat. Any chair recommendations for stuff like that?
>>740169129>>740169294>Yeah bro, I would never EVER sit in anything less than my Herman Miller, you spend hours sat in your chair gaming, don't you care about your posture? You don't care about your health bro?>Proceeds to live on a diet of monster energy, dominoes pizzas, pop tarts and coke zeroyeah ok, but at least your posture is good.
>>740170008That's the wrong way of thinking about it. If you're actually no life king who spends 24/7 in front of the screen that chair is going to get more mileage than a car. Always break the cost down in terms of usage.
>>740170367well it's 7 years old already and still looks brand new
>>740169418My dad brought one of these when we went fishing once. You might think that sounds nice but he put it in our small row boat, over the seatings at the back. He was also drinking.
>>740170426you're doing that thing where you project your own life onto others again anon
>>740170516Ok, and my velvet chair that I got for $230 from China is 5 years old and still working. Sorry but you got jew'd even at the price you paid.
>>740170336leather needs maintenance
come home white mang
>>740170712>paying hundos for chinkslopi am disengaging this conversation, farewell
I need a new chair, any recs?
hey thats my chair i didn't buy it .was a gift
>>740168573>how Gamers are fucking stupid but here’s the actual history First off, go back to the mid 2000s. Remember the mini fad of ricer, tuner, JDM shit? Think fast and furious tokyo drift capitalizing/spreading the fad. Naturally, some companies popped up trying to make money on this fad.There was a company called DXRacer (it already made custom car chairs) that overproduced bucket seats for the short lived fad. In order to offload literal warehouses of these things, they were mostly purchased/given to gaming cafes namely in k*rea and china. Wanna be esports fags would then replicate the familiar setup from their gaming cafes and bring them into their own home/gaming houses (remember the team house shit from broodwar era).Then even more wanna be esports fags see their idol esports fags using these dumb car seats, so they adopt them. It gets associated with being a “pro gamer”, so then youtube -> streamer fags use them.But yes, they were literally surplus car seats. Which is why they are car seats. And why using them over even a $25 office chair is stupid as fuck
>>740171151nevermind , its different
>>740169063yeah mine's upholstery rather than pleather, so can't relate
>>740171094
>>740169638It’s pretty easy to buy refurbished expensive Herman millers or steelcase chairs, especially with the death of commercial retail space that happened post Covid. I got a leap for $100
>>740168573streamers
>>740168573it looked unique to sweaty nerds at a time when the battlestation scene was growing in popularity sure they're just shitty racing seats, but the nerds didn't know that
I need a new chair. The ass part of mine is broken.
>>740171168>JDM>fadI fucking wishmaybe then FDs and Mk4s wouldn't cost a down payment on a house
>>740170146They're like 270 for a really good one.
>>740171306it's easy to buy used anything the question is why would you want to you know know where the thing has been or who has touched it for all you know it couldve been dipped in a barrel of aids
>>740168573It's just comfortable enough to sit in 16 hours a day but usually not comfortable enough to nod off in ruining my sleep schedule
>>740171740You do know where it was though: sitting in an office not being used hence them selling it
>>740169594I can’t breathe
>>740171623You don’t have normalfags putting bucket seats in their camrys any more
>>740168573I went to the store and sat in every chair. The gaymer chair was the most comfortable one that didn't cost a fortune. I got the black and white one to minimize the garishness.
>>740172017You are stupid as fuck and gaslit yourself out of shame
comfiest and will last forever
I'm using a chair I took from my kitchen. Shill me some CHEAP chair that's comfortable, my back hurts. [I'm considering buying a car seat and putting it on office chair rails]
>>740172135How so? I literally tried every chair in the store, and I wasn't going to buy a chair without sitting in it first.The leather executive chairs were the most comfortable, but they were way beyond my budget. The high dollar Razer gaymer chair was the worst one, like a rock. I settled with the off-brand gaymer chair because it was comfy and cheap.It's held up well for 2 or 3 years thus far, and I ended up getting it for free because they fucked up the delivery.
>>740168573Honestly, the Razer Isker is pretty fucking comfortable and lets me sit with good posture. I thought I'd never get a gaming chair but after trying out all of the normal office chairs at staples it ended up being the most comfortable one, I got it at a massive discount, and it works well for me. I legitimately can't fucking stand Razer as a company but that's the one product they make that I'll vouch for besides the hex naga.
>>740168573I assume the people that but these are the same people that put pride lights in their PCs.Neither has ever appealed to me.
>>740168573My mom got me this exact chair for Christmas because she knows I'm an "epic gaymer" and I think it's giving me lower back pain.
>>740168573they are comfy and personally much better than office chairs which also cost like 10x more
>>740169165Is that one of those shitty chink chairs that explodes?
>>740169196Office chairs explode and impale your ass. Use an armchair. That way you can lie back when watching movies. You don't need to swivel that much. Office chairs swivel for reasons gaming doesn't need.
>>740168573What are the straps for?
>>740174764>GTRACINGSeatbelts for racing sims.
>>740168573I use one because it's one of the few remaining types of chair that let you remove the shitty "ergonomic" crap because here it's just two pillows that are easily ripped off the chair
>>740168573i've actually bought it (king series for 150kg fat asses like me) back in 2014 for $300, i still fucking use it, nothing broke except for all the plastic shit peeling off in all the places, its shit, but for $300 its fucking indestructible and comfy if your ass is fat enough to not worry about cushioning
>>740174764Autistic children
these are the best chairslumbar support is a scam
>>740172845Chatgpt slop
>>740169129There's $150 mesh office chairs that are better than pleather gaymur shit. Also SecretLabs are fucking $500 anyway and it's still pleather garbage.
>>740169276I bought a second hand steelcase leap for like $100. Best $100 spent.
>>740176036i bought a steelcase think, and it was shit
>>740176197i think you're lying
>>740176273can't have any negative experiences with big office brand, now, can we?
any WHALES in here to tell whats the best chair for men of SIZE?
>>740170028drape a towel or a bathrobe over the chair so your sweaty skin doesn't come in contact with it.
>>740169294realistically you shouldn't pay less than 150 bucks for a chair you want to last for a while unless it's on like deep sale, you want to be shooting for something at least 2-300 or more
>>740176774buy a walking pad fatso
>>740174764to move that useless pillow everyone throws away instantly up and down
There basically does not exist a chair that meets all of my autistic criteria. Not even the really expensive ones.>Fold up armrests so I can push it under my desk>Mesh back but only in the center of the backrest not the edges>Large headrest but not one that sticks out just one that I can lean my head back on like pic related>No Mesh or fabric seat because I sit like L in my chair sometimes and my dry ass feet tear holes in the material>Absolutely no pleather what so everPic related is what I have now and it meets most of that criteria except it doesn't have a mesh back and uses shitty pleather. If you could replace the part inside the red circle with a sturdy mesh, and change all the pleather to real leather it would be perfect.And no, I will not sit normally in my chair fuck you.
>>740175828This was the very first office chair I bought when I first got a gayman pc. I think it was $20 at target. My back was absolutely screaming after using it for a month. Do not fall for it.
I bought a simple office chair with a mesh (since pleather is awful in general) for around $120.Most of the time, I'm laying on my bed with the computer connected to the TV.
>>740168573That looks like shitty cheap plastic.Mine is the Real Leather™ NobleChairs EPIC.I also have the REAL LEATHER™ footrest.It's so comfy to lean back every now and then and have a short nap in it.https://www.noblechairs.com/en-us/epic-series/real-leather-gaming-chair
>>740176774I'm going to be real with you, what I did was I just bought a good looking chair with a strong back.I immediately broke the gas lift with my fat ass.So I went and bought a much higher rated gas lift for basically nothing, and this chair now supports my fat ass for far cheaper than it would have cost if I paid for a chair rated for fatsos.
>>740179018why is it styled after a refugee's jacket?
I'm a programmer and I would never buy one of these chairs
>>740168573the best decision of my life was bolting a office chair base to a old Scania truck seat, shit it beyond comfy
>>740174764the elastic strap loops around through another hole to the back to this cushion and allows the cushion to be adjusted up or down.
>>740182417>to the back to this cushionthrough the chair to the back of this cushion*Basically adjustable lumbar support (it's shit)
>>740182417>people realize how shitty car chairs are with lumbar support>lets fix it with a pillowIt still amazes me people fall for this shit
>>740176774one of those chairs you see in old people homes, big bulky one that reclines and has massager, they can be real sturdy and you don't need wheels anyway if you think about it
>>740168573>Pay $1,000 for a rock hard chair that is as comfortable as a car's bucket seat>Or buy a Luxury car seat with electronic adjustment, heating and ventilation and adapt it to a sturdy chair bottom for less than $500
>>740184645why are you talking about cars in a vidya thread?
>>740168573>design a chair for race cars, where you are experiencing intense speeds and friction jostling you around so you need a seat keeping you in place>market these seats also for just about the most sedentary hobby in existenceI genuinely respect the grift, the first guy who thought of this was a cruel cocksucker but man I'm sure he's wealthy and fucking all the kids he wants.
Plebs. All of you.
>>740184779why are you talking about fucking kids?
>>740184882is that duke nukem?
>>740184882Always sit on Duke.
>>740168573i only bought one of these with a long warranty solely so i could rip the back off and put it on a $30 office chair that i've been using for the past 10 years and return it when it gets hard
>>740184686Because, where are you going to find a ventilated/heated chair that is meant to be used for long stretches of time for less than $2,000 USD? Gaming chairs are designed for larpers that like car racing seats, what's better than an actual chair from a car brand that you actually like?
>>740175828that chair looks like it would explode and cause severe anal damage
>>740168573I can lay my DX Racer flat like Pewdiepie.I cannot do the same on my Herman Miller Aeron.
>>740168573literally my chairI regret buying this garbage
>>740184882https://exhentai.org/g/650616/0c629ddb07/
>>740169196I got one similar like your pic after years falling for the gamer racing chair meme. My back feels so much better on it
>look up "best budget ergonomic chair">first result is a reddit post asking "Is there any good chair under 200$">most of the replies are "hurrr durr i wouldn't even consider anything under 200$ budget, that's just trash" "You should buy an used chair for 600 dollars" "budget chairs start at 400 bucks" and so on
>>740172415https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09D33BXHLI've had this for like 4 years and it still works great.
>>740188460> putting it on office chair railsYou'd need something sturdier.
>>740188296If you care about your health you will redeem the $2000 shart-infused designer chair at a modest discount. It's for your own good
>>740188460the gas cylinder will explode and propel it up your anus
>>740188532But chair rails are wall molding that protects the wall from chairs that bump into it, it's not something you mount the chair to. Unless I'm being retarded and completely misunderstanding you.
>>740168573i bought a refurb leap v2 and now my upper back screams at me instead of my lower back, still coping my body will get used to ithonestly i'm just thankful to be able to sit again after 5 months of crippling sciaticai miss my comfy lounge chair that eventually fucked my back in the first placei'd give anything for my old life back
>>740168573Car seats are supposed to be comfortable. These pieces of shit are not. I've had one for 12 years, don't recommend.
Come home white man
>>740169165Based on how this thing looks there had to have been some tomfoolery going on and that definitely isn't a regulated chair either.
>>740192690Those chairs are comfortable for the first 20 seconds and then your back will start to hurt immediately
what about a massaging chair?
This is the best chair.
>>740169129imagine not being willing to spend money to get something comfortable when you're sitting there 16+ hours a day. the fuck is wrong with people lol
>>740193985Tilt it upright and now you've got a good time
I've always wanted those rocker chair things you would see in gaming magazine contests in the 2000s
>>740193623>no headrestthat's not even a chair for humans, it's for cattle
>>740195094how freakishly tall is your torso, anon
>>740195094The headrest that you can get as an option sucks, but this third party one is much better.
>>740168573I had a friend who was a total Redditor (even though he didn't actually use the site).He really thought these chairs were some kind of ultimate experience for sitting in front of a computer. Once he invited me to sit in one he paid a fortune for, and holy shit, it was terrible, but to him that piece of shit was genuinely amazing...Then he moved in with his grandma because the old lady was living alone. She saw the damn chair and, thinking it was worthless junk, gave it to the garbage collector, LOL.The guy came home from work and, when he found out what the old lady had done,he left her alone.He bought another chair for his new home, but a year later he died of an infection.As far as I know, no one wants the new chair... the garbage collector will probably end up with another one.
