Do these silly looking Formula 1 racing car chairs Twitch streamers have actually do anything to help with gaming? They look dumb. Is it just to look expensive and cool?

All they do is remind me of these stupid things. Tho these had speakers,they looked as comfortable as sitting on a jagged rock.

The ones I see today seem they are just to look cool and cost more than they should.

When your computer is your job, buying a chair that really supports your back well is very important! It's like having a job where you drive a lot and investing in a very fuel efficient car, or buying a very quality set of kneepads if you're a brick layer. It's all about taking care of yourself, and it's a very important investment for a lot of computer-based jobs, not just e-sports.

I didn't really have a good desk and chair until just 2-3 years ago and yeah, it's something I should have taken way more seriously like 10-15 years ago. :lol:

Here's the chair I bought in 2014, still going strong:

I know a good office chair is nice. I used to sit in one 16 hours a day but those just seem to be to show off and look cool.

I would pick the Vita over my 3DS 10 out of 10 times is forces to choose. I don't hate 3DS at all. I really love the SEGA themes and some games on it like SMT games Fire Emblem DQ7 and Code of Princess. Just Vita as a hardware unit I enjoy more despite the stupid memory cards. The library overall is more to my tastes. Really slick looking device. More comfortable to hold. That Oled screen is amazing. 3DS blurry screen is hard on my eyes. I hate 3D. Vita for me the only drawback is I cannot replace the memory card at a price I am comfortable with. (I have a 8 GB card) Outside of that everything else the Vita is up with PSP as my fave handhelds ever.

I wish I shared your love for the PSP. The build quality and battery life are just so bad, I can't justify it. I'd play way more games on it if there was a Playstation TV-style device for it, I'd use the crap out of that thing. I already more or less need to use the thing while plugged into the wall, anyway. Might get one of those TV-out things for the PSP someday to get the next closest thing.

I like the Vita a fair bit too, but a nice design just can't make up for the library differences between it and the 3DS for me. Especially once you factor in the original DS library, there's just no contest.
