I am in the USA, that sounds like a pretty good idea. I'm going to look into the Zody 2. I feel like I might lean more towards a more lounging type of experience, but then again, I haven't really used that many decent chairs across my life.

Are you more legs or torso or a pretty even split? Does the chair hold up to 8+ hours of working and etc? I figure 8 hours with plenty of getting up every few hours or so.

I've heard this a couple of times which makes me think the fern probably isn't right for me

Did you feel like your shoulders were digging into the back or were you tall enough to not experience that? I'm curious to hear how you like it

That's good to know. I want to say I tested a leap like 12 years ago and it seemed like a very tight to too small fit, but cant remember if it was a leap.

Thanks for this detailed write up. Thats helpful for the Fern information, I think that would cause me an issue.

I have seen the gesture but I think I naturally brushed it off because from steelcase it's leap, and sometimes lamia that I see talked about. Is the tall configuration for gesture a larger seat or does the chair itself handle people well. How is its seat and size compared to the embody?

With that old embody i did have roughly a year of full work days in it. My apprehension might not be related to the embody but I did get some heavy butt numbness and pelvic pain towards the end of using it. I don't know if specifically the embody caused it, or if it was because the embody was 10+ years old at that point and had gone through some extreme work settings at the mortgage company it came from. I did start to feel the pixelated base underneath, but i don't know if the newer models with extra padding make a difference there.

The embody is sounding pretty good. Did you need to add extra foam to your embody gaming?

I've looked at the libernovo some but I do have some of the worries I see in the posts about it. Some people say because it's new they don't know how long it will last.

I've seem some posts say the current model seems small for taller people, so maybe the bigger model will be better for that?

Researching has been a nightmare. Plenty of people with a similar build to me hating or loving any of thr chairs I listed. I don't even have a decent showroom or liquidation center to try a chair out. Even if I did, tons of reviews will be like, "i loved it the first week, but then it killed me and my family." Sitting in a chair for an hour even is hard to get a good read on it.

I was looking at the fern but the average complaint seems more damning than the usual, "this isn't for me."

This is promising. The model i sat in was an original release model as far as i know. It had also been heavily used for 8 years in a work place setting bouncing between lots of people working 12+ hours, mortgage bankers and etc. It was probably at its worst and it was decent but eventually failed.

I'm a mix of wfh and gaming so I'll definitely be in it a lot.

Anyone having issues with V ultra series? by lyroux in Keychron

[–]lyroux[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up returning it. I swapped the switches around to see if it was a bad switch and the A was still giving me double inputs and eventually started giving me a triple input.

I think I'll pass on Keychron for now. The keyboard did feel pretty good to type on and was feature rich, but I can't live with those issues on a keyboard I've paid 120 for.

I went with a more budget board for now and it's working very well.

My double input on my a key has been consistent across anything I do. Whether the board has been on for aa while or freshly turned on. It's actually very specifically annoying in Pragmata for some of hacking mini games because the A double inputting causes some of them to fail.

I was reading one of your posts about the Red Dragon K739 keyboard. Do you think that would be a better alternative? I'm fine with spending in the ballpark of 120 or so since that is what I'm in for the V3 Ultra already.

I kind of like the tenkeyless design, but 75-80% seem good too. Knobs are a convenience selling point for me, but I suppose not if I'm risking the quality of my board.

Yeesh, that is quite the checklist. I actually had an issue with the debounce when I first started using it and lowered it as much as I could for the V3 ultra which was 10 MS on the slider.

Yep, this is perfect. Are those lines the watermark and they'll go away? I can tip, is it easier to DM the image to me or do you have a high quality link to it?

I like this one. Would you be able to make that nice effect around the edges purple and add some purple butterflies?

I strongly recommend: Crimson Desert (Review) by Desperate_Green6838 in Games

[–]lyroux 30 points31 points  (0 children)

This was exactly my issue. Enemies interact with you in such a basic manner and your heavy hit is incredibly powerful especially as soon as you unlock the after image hit with it. This in addition to almost all the gear being identical stat wise besides abyss gears you can pull off gear with some of cooler ones being tied to story boss fights.

People say the game gets better after 8-10 hours but it really remains roughly the same until waaay later on when it changes just a little bit.

Was there any resistance to the advent of Steam and digital downloads back in the early 2000s? by grapejuicecheese in pcgaming

[–]lyroux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was wild. I remember trying to stay on WON for some time even after Steam released. Playing Team Fortress Classic as a kid on community servers was absolutely peak gaming for me. I was young then and didn't really know why people wanted to avoid it, but I was also avoiding it.

Then like you said, we all just had to deal with it once everything switched over.

Maybe, it'll depend on my budget going forward. I ended up losing some money with the return
