We need a new subreddit for this !
Sounds too much like diddlestation
Get a real chair lol. I have the exact same heater tho! It works great!
Hey man, us dads have to work with what we have! Congrats on finding a solution that allows you to continue gaming despite having to care for a tiny human, it’s definitely not always easy.
I’m not criticizing your setup, except to say that you should really get a chair with some back support. As a father currently learning what real back pain can feel like, I can only imagine how much you’re wrecking your own back by using a seat like that!
That “chair” could be mistaken as a potty. Be careful before you sit down.
Hey OP… it gets both easier but more expensive in time.. my kiddos grew up with tech so for college they got tech.. There will be a time when the kids get your cast-offs and you get the nice new one BUT eventually it’ll flip, as for schoool my younger kiddo has a better Graphics card than me (she’s got an RTX 4070 and I still have my 3090..)… you are doing it good! I’m lucky to have a dedicated office space, when the kids were smaller they had their own computer in there (which ended up with stickers on it 🙂 )
Shout out to a well-used and curated bookshelf too! You have this librarian’s stamp of approval on everything here!
I’m 41 and have 2 adult kids, as well as a 13-year-old. Since 2003, I’ve maintained massive desk setups. I’m perplexed by the notion that people can’t have nice setups because they have kids. Despite having three children, I managed to keep my belongings completely intact, integrating their stuff seamlessly. Computers have been my hobby since the 90s, and there’s no way my crotch goblins would change how I play my pc games.
Let’s go!
