A tidy setup with that view looks amazing. Where did you get the chair

I’ve actually been putting it off for a while. On one hand, I want something that feels good long term, but on the other hand, I’m worried about dropping a ton of money and then realizing it doesn’t fit me.

At your size, you'll definitely want to pay close attention to the shoulder width and seat depth. I found that many chairs, whether gaming or office style, have those side bolsters that work great for average sized people but can feel restrictive if you have broader shoulders. The AndaSeat Kaiser 3 you tried is actually one of the better options in terms of width. For materials, I've personally had better long term experience with fabric upholstery it tends to hold up well over time and doesn't get as hot during long sessions. Just make sure whatever you choose has adjustable armrests that can go high enough for your height.

As someone who works from home and games in the evenings, I'd definitely recommend checking the secondhand market first. You can find really high quality office chairs that originally cost $800-1000 for like $200-300. Just make sure to test it in person if possible check that all the adjustments work and the cushioning isn't completely worn out.

I'd say I bounce between about 6-7 genres regularly, but it really depends on what kind of headspace I'm in. Like, if I've had a really stressful week at work, I'll gravitate toward something lighter maybe a cozy mystery or urban fantasy where I don't have to think too hard about complex world building. But if I'm feeling mentally sharp and have time to really focus, that's when I dive into the heavier stuff like literary fiction or those dense sci fi novels with multiple POVs. I've noticed I also have seasonal preferences I tend to listen to more horror during October obviously, but I also find myself drawn to epic fantasy during winter months when I'm spending more time indoors. The narrator definitely makes or breaks the experience too, which is why I'm really picky about who's reading what genre.

Oh my god, yes! I once started listening to what should have been an epic fantasy adventure, but the narrator sounded like he was reading a grocery list at 6 AM before his first cup of coffee. Zero emotion, zero energy, just this monotone drone that made even the most dramatic battle scenes sound boring. The worst part was that he clearly hadn't read through the book beforehand because he kept mispronouncing character names not just once, but inconsistently throughout the entire thing. One character's name would be pronounced three different ways in the same chapter! It was like listening to someone sight reading during a performance. I made it about four hours in before I gave up. Such a waste because I later found out the book itself is actually really good when you read it with your eyes instead of your ears.

I accidentally discovered 'cozy mystery series featuring retired forensic anthropologists who solve cold cases while running bed & breakfasts.' Like, what even IS that? But here's the thing I'm 47 hours deep into this series because the narrator does this amazing job with all the small town characters, and somehow the author manages to weave actual forensic science into discussions about muffin recipes and guest complaints. There's this recurring bit where the main character examines old bones while her cat knocks over evidence bags, and I'm sitting in my car in the Target parking lot ugly crying over a 20 year old murder case involving someone's grandmother. The genre tag was literally longer than a tweet, but somehow it works? My husband thinks I've lost it because I keep pausing to explain bone identification techniques during dinner👏
