  • My usual gaming position is in my livingroom couch, keyboard in lap, mouse on the pillow next to me, and feet on the table next to my laptop. Mouse works fine in the couch. As long as it’s not a reflective surface, it should work fine. Mine is cloth, so it’s no problem.

    Protip: I travel a lot, and often find myself in hotel rooms, trying to operate a mouse while in bed. Because I always travel with a plastic cutting board (regular white one I found at a shopping mall in Bahrain). It works well as a mouse pad, for when the sheets are no longer stretched perfectly flat. It also fits perfectly the bottom of the pelicase in which I carry my laptop.




  • Off the top of my head:

    • Two of my guitars
    • Living room table
    • The steak knives (our cutlery in general is somewhat new, but the steak knives are ~30 years old)
    • I’m sure I have misc cables older than 20 years. Network, serial, IEC, etc. And yes, I use serial cables often.
    • Our kitchen stove is around 20 y.o., but the kitchen is next up on the renovation agenda, so it won’t be that much longer
    • Does my GF count?
    • I have some really old clothes that I still wear. One example is the Soilwork band shirt, bought at a concert when they were touring for their newest album “Natural Born Chaos”
    • A guitar pedal with a 60s style distortion (the pedal is from the 90s, though)
    • We live in an old house, so many of the lamps are pretty old too.
    • My basement toiled was installed in the 80s
