Gaming Posture

[Azza ☠]

So how do you couch potatoes slouch while gaming?

I never knew how bad I was getting till I replaced my chair... omg I have back support now?!?!!!

I tend to sit on my leg until it falls asleep, then I sling the leg around trying to bring it back to life.

Same, my current chair has absoluetly no back support. Slouching gamer. I guess its a good thing I barely game, or I wouldve had an arched back by now.

My desk chair stays up so i get to sit up straight :)

I have a chair next to my desk (Not a hard one, more like a leathery type chair), so I usually have one or two legs on it. I usually lean back in my chair. I want to be comfortable when I play games.

I recently (few months ago) got a badass desk chair in which it is SUPER comfortable to sit up straight. Therefore, I stopped slouching.

Leaning well back is actually spos to be better for you than leaning forward over a keyboard.

I just got a DXRacer Drift Series Chair - I must say leaning back in this with back support is something else. My back felt completely different for the rest of the day, like if I've cracked out my spine back into place.

Trying to type on a bed.
In the middle of the bed.
Yep.

So you broke your screen while in bed too (Mr broken screen)?

[The Space Butterfly]

Nononononononono.
Because of my broken screen, I was forced to hook it up to my tv screen, and the result... is an aching back.

Secret tip: Lie on your stomach, chest up against a pillow... keyboard or laptop directly out in front of the pillow. This tends to work best in bed, well did for me as a kid staying up late playing online games rather than sleeping. When you finally fall asleep, you naturally use the keyboard as a pillow leaning on the ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz key to inform your friends your passed out.

First time I hear a Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD (audiophonic surround soundcard) with 5.1 box speakers / subwoofer, I was playing a FPS and hear a shotgun sound behind me. I actually freaked out and looked around my back. Sounded just like the real thing passing over my shoulder. Did what you do Skylx, duck and lurch it with reflex, to the point of almost falling out of the chair.

I'm a huge fan of horror, specially as a kid it use to freak me out. Desensitized to it now, but it's amazing how good quality audiophonics brings it back to life! I fully understand - don't need to feel silly, it's a load of fun!

I usually sit up straight while gaming. Therefore I don't have back problems.
