lol

They actually made one and it’s just a regular gaming chair

I enjoy playing vidya, but why does all the stuff have to say shit like “LEGION OF GAMERS”? Ffs it’s not an identity, it’s barely even qualified as a hobby

Find a used office supply and get a chair made for filling out excel spreadsheets for a living for like $50. It’ll be way more comfortable and last a lot longer than a cheap brand.

But I don’t want to eat dinner in a chair that feels like doing taxes

I’d rather just sit in a nice chair, but I might end up having to do something like that instead. I was really hoping for something else though.

How it looks isn’t going to mean a thing to you when it cradles your ass like a cloud.

For sure, but it will mean something to me the rest of the time I spend in my livingroom/kitchen/diningroom/workspace

I got a Serta chair that looks like this:

Don’t remember what the chair was called, but the same basic shape is used in dozens of Serta chairs. I like it because it’s the most comfortable office chair I’ve ever had.

Surprisingly pretty amazing. I’ve thought about getting two more and using them as seating in my living room, haha. They’re more comfortable than my current seating situation there.

Good to hear! It isn’t really what I’m going for, I still get big “excel sheet” vibes, but that’s probably just because I know what the environment I’d place it in would make it feel.

Yeah I’m getting a lot of good chair recommendations with regards to comfort and back support, but what I am searching for is something that also wouldn’t look out of place in a cozy living-room type situation. I guess I must have phrased the question wrong.

Well, in that case I’d suggest a chair that doesn’t have the typical five armed base with wheels. That would go a long way toward removing that aesthetic.

I meant good as in “good for the back” or good looking or whatever, not “super fancy high quality”. Maybe a type of chair that is mass-produced and thus often easy to thrift
