          It feels like a high effort streaming setup, but that little laptop doesn’t look like it can keep up with a streamers typical workload

            Oh dear. It… was an older laptop, and through the pandemic it became clear that I needed a substantial upgrade. You’re quite right that the laptop wasn’t able to keep up! 😂

    Not the most cursed since I had a chair and a desk with my laptop on top. But the desk was way too high up and so it was incredibly uncomfortable to use. Being at the desk for long stretches of time managed to compress my ulnar nerves to the point where they sublux once in a while and cause numbness/tingling in my hands.

    Top 3 worst setups I’ve had

    • Giant monitor on a tiny square dining table that I had to move on and off between meals
    • Working from home and had laptop on coffee table, sitting on couch. Leaning over for 6 hours caused some back issues
    • Nice office space but my temporary desk was a plastic folding picnic table. All the gear on top of it had me worried it would collapse.

    Mines not been going on for long but my current setup is a folding camping table with my laptop and a monitor. I’m moving apartments soon so it’ll have to do for now.
