Kane99 Posted December 20, 2021 Posted December 20, 2021 I tend to sit a lot when gaming, but I know I probably should be moving around more instead of sitting in one place for a long period of time. I was curious if anyone here likes to stand sometimes while gaming? I was thinking about getting myself a standing desk, just so I have to stand up and work instead of sitting all day. I figure I could work this into gaming as well. I think it's a great thing to do to promote better health, but I don't think I can stand for long hours. But, it's good to move around a bit after gaming.
Justin11 Posted December 21, 2021 Posted December 21, 2021 Only when the high spirit of the game have infected my brain, that's when I'll stand up briefly. Such is to say, I can only stand up when I need that game result by all means.
Head_Hunter Posted December 21, 2021 Posted December 21, 2021 I've done that couple of times when I am on the public arena playing video games, she the game villa and cinema is the two options where I've stood up while playing.
o-o Posted December 23, 2021 Posted December 23, 2021 Nope I don't. I'm really focused when playing so I'm sitting the whole time Family sedan 1
Family sedan Posted December 23, 2021 Posted December 23, 2021 I'm pretty sure I only sit while gaming. I feel like that's how the games were meant to be played, but to each their own.

If you play long hours, I suggest taking breaks where you move around or just stand up once in a while. Family sedan 1
Head_Hunter Posted December 23, 2021 Posted December 23, 2021 That's normal, playing games for longer duration without moving around and exercising the bones a little attracts undue fatigue that can even keep us off from our games due to extreme weakness.
Justin11 Posted December 23, 2021 Posted December 23, 2021 Is very necessary to shake off the body when some weakness or dizziness surfaces. It wouldn't make sense that a gamer plays standby for hours without stretching the legs out, such can drag undue body weakness closer.
Family sedan Posted December 24, 2021 Posted December 24, 2021 I sometimes get up every couple races to turn a light off or attend to some chore that someone else neglected.
Boblee Posted December 24, 2021 Posted December 24, 2021 When the game is very much dealing with me, sitting down would be a lot of frustrating than standing up. In fact, it means that things have gotten more serious than the usual.

But, it's good to move around a bit after gaming. Personally, I think that it's a normal thing for most gamers. Unless you are handicapped in a way, you would definitely stand up and walk about.
Empire Posted December 24, 2021 Posted December 24, 2021 Eh, why not just squeeze a 30min workout into your day? Would work far more better than gaming standing up. I do graphic design and I sit for most of the day, I work from home and take a break every 2hrs or so and do a little stretching and lift a little weights. If being healthier is what you're concerned about, maybe check out the fitness subreddit.
Reality vs Adventure Posted December 24, 2021 Posted December 24, 2021 Only when I got to drop a deuce. My gaming chair is a toilet.. aahhh hahahaha
Withywarlock Posted December 24, 2021 Posted December 24, 2021 Now that you mention it, I really would prefer to play standing more often. I only really play with a keyboard and mouse and my IKEA desk isn't fancy enough to rise or anything (well, unless I fiddle with the knobs under the legs... ooh matron). Should I end up getting Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, then I'll use a controller to play it and I will most certainly be standing every now and again for that one.
Darth Posted December 24, 2021 Posted December 24, 2021 Not often. I have done it a few times when I'm playing FIFA and the game goes to penalties. When you're playing against other users, it can become quite stressful so standing up for a bit whilst it goes on makes sense sometimes.
