A thick PC or a powerful console is not enough. The ambiance and environment must be right for you to feel completely comfortable while gaming. Every gamer has their own preferences. We want to know: What does your gaming setup look like at home?
The big action may take place on the screen and online in MMOs and online games. But if you have to game in a drafty room on a splinter-filled stool with an ancient CRT monitor, even the most exciting raid is no fun. The more comfort you have while gaming, the better you can tune into the game.
Chair and Couch – The Bottom Games Too!
Especially important for an optimal gaming setup is the right seating. Console games are even more fun when played from a comfortable sofa. Even during long gaming sessions, the couch must provide optimal comfort in every position. It would be a shame to mess up the raid in Destiny 2 because of back pain.
This is even more true for PC gamers, who usually sit directly at the screen in an office chair. Here, special gaming chairs are particularly useful, as otherwise, you quickly suffer from back pain and, in the long term, postural damage.
Screen, Peripherals, and Odds and Ends
The most prominent features of any gamer setup are, of course, the well-visible parts like the screen and peripherals. A big 4K screen (or several) and a gaming keyboard with cool LED lighting make a great impression and are the pride of many gamers.
Additionally, there’s all sorts of personal knick-knacks that make the gaming area really cozy. Whether it’s a picture of a partner, action figures from a favorite franchise, or a cool coffee mug: personal oddities are simply part of the comfort of gaming!
My Gaming and Workspace!
But enough about the benefits of a cozy gaming setup. We want to know what you have at your setup. I, Jürgen, will start. Since I work from home, my gaming setup also serves as my workplace. Therefore, it is set up more practically and contains less clutter. Except for the cat, who occasionally comes by.
Nonetheless, I place great emphasis on comfort, as I spend many hours there daily and also watch series and game after work. Therefore, a gaming chair and a large screen with two extra monitors are a must. This way, I can research optimally and watch videos on YouTube while grinding.
So far so good, but what kind of gaming setup do you have and what curious things can be found at your place? Let us know!
