    Shitty gaming chairs fall apart like this. There are a lot of shitty gaming chairs. Funny, I got what I thought was a cheap-ass ikea chair and it’s still trucking along just fine.

    Don’t get a chair with cheap foam like that. Get one that uses mesh instead. More breathable, and it’ll last way longer. Ikea may have some. The Staples Hyken is pretty decent for the price, if you get it on sale (<$150).

    The Herman Miller Aeron chair is still the best, but it’s very expensive. You might be able to get a good deal at a store that sells ex-office furniture, but a “good deal” for the Aeron is still $500-600. I think there’s some Amazon stores that sell them second hand. If you buy one new, they have a 15 year warranty that covers practically everything. My employer had a pretty big discount on new new ones for home use, from the supplier they use for the office.

      A mesh surface is not automatically longer lasting. Quite the contrary, actually:

      Mesh is “less material per surface”. This means more stress is put on the strands than for a full cover upholstery.

      Mesh is open, which over time means that dirt and grime will start gathering in the cushion beneath the mesh. This can end up pretty nasty over the years of heavy usage.

      In the end, it’s always about proper materials: good quality foam exists and are used by some, but obviously it’s usually more expensive. Same for the surface material: there’s super cheap PVC leather that will start flaking off in weeks, and there’s high quality PVC leather that will last a decade. Or just go for real leather if you got the money. All of the closed surfaces have the advantage of being incredibly easy to clean and maintain: simply wipe them with a wet towel. For real leather, only a tiny bit of extra care is needed ( waxing ).

        the cushion beneath the mesh.

        Neither my wife’s chair nor my chair has a cushion underneath the mesh. It’s just plastic underneath the mesh, and you can easily wipe dust off the plastic.

        This means more stress is put on the strands than for a full cover upholstery.

        While that may be true, I’ve had more issues with foam chairs than mesh chairs.

        There are some foam + upholstery chairs that are very good though, like the Steelcase Gesture (which rivals the Herman Miller Aeron).

    He clearly ripped out his skidmark rather than clean it

    Only guess is bro doesn’t wipe or shower very well and is constantly doing the itchy-butthole-wiggle in his chair.

    I thought it said “his shole had teeth” and it took me awhile to both notice the B and to really be it was for censorship.

    Only thing I can think of that would actually cause this is that bro is playing video games with butt toys in. We should celebrate that he is exploring the wonderful world off butt stuff but might need to have a conversation about moderation

                There’s a lot more that Buttplug.io supports. It’s an entire open source framework that others can build stuff onto to control sex toys. As for why these? Eh why not? Single player games don’t exactly require the consent of other players if you’re getting your rocks off to game controlled sex toys, and multi-player games should only be used if you do actually have consent.

                Specifically for ultrakill’s officially supported mod, that’s just the kind of thing they’d do. They also made body pillow covers of Gabriel and V1 as official merch. And yes they are in those kinds of poses.

                  My question was more like, why these sfw genre type games? I am just confused as to why.

      Wearing your shoes while sitting cross legged on it would probably do this. In fact, I think that was the explanation on the original tweet.
