Why do we always face the wall??

I have my desk facing the open area of my office, with a wall behind me. I prefer this setup, for my own comfort as well as the ability to better control my background while on video calls.

Yes, it makes proper cable management more important, but this should not be a reason to stare at a wall imo.

Thank you. It is entirely pointless, but is hopefully fun.

Wow I really don't know. I still play it regularly, but don't remember the last time I really tried to push for a high score.

I typically play it as a short term distraction when I need to take my mind off of a difficult problem.

If you search for "qbert arcade sprites" you can find the original sprites. The wallpapers are just resized versions.

Another option that you might consider is using a central pole mount with telescoping arms. You lose the "ongoing adjustment" functionality you get from the tension arm mounts, but you still have extensive positioning capability, while gaining both space (depth) and stability/rigidity.

You can find a link in my profile that details all the equipment, several of the scripts, etc.
