This is how I play (AKA THE DESKTOP THREAD)

[Jak 1,381]

Everyone's always like "derp derp wtf how are you even playing without a mouse" all the time so here is a photograph of what the top of my desk looks like currently (minus my phone which I used to take the photo with...)

The stylus pen acts pretty much just like a mouse, just you hold it like a pen and not a mouse. Yes my desk is neat, it's always that neat. I have obsessive compulsive disorder.

Now it's your turn to post a photo of where you play computer games (and furiously masturbate in gaffer's case).

>Red stripe

Someones a massive cheap stoner

I don't smoke weed and it was £5 for 4 big bottles from the dodgy shop. I rarely drink shitty lager and Red Stripe is the best of the bad bunch.

Anyway post your desk, bastard! <3

My desk top consists of a laptop sitting on a desk with a bowl next to it.

You say you have business cards, what business is this? Also I never knew you used a Stylis, you're really good with it :)

I'm a freelance graphic designer, but looking for a studio/agency job for the chance to work on bigger/better projects with a stable salary and decent people. And I am terrible with it, I can barely aim...

I have obsessive compulsive disorder.

Was about to say. :P I had it when I was for years when I was younger, and little parts of it still crop up when I'm stressed. It can be a major ball-ache. Will post picture of my desk when I resume playing on my desk (desktop is dead so stealing the house laptop).

(also Red Stripe is decent as far as lager goes, so good shout.)

I play with my notebook rested on my bed over heating, with a couple of bottle of bud

We already have a battlestations thread you silly goose.

That actually pretty neat though, what kind of graphics tablet is that? And is it any good?

I'e got the bamboo create and it works pretty well but the driver seems a little unresponsive.

Do you actually have OCD or were you just exaggerating? That must be hell to live with, i can't imagine it. I find that sort of thing really interesting to discuss though.

[gaffeR 1,380]

Well as we are going off subject i may as well join in ha.

My friend's Missus has OCD and she wont open any door on here own, When she touches anything with her hands she has too wash them, then drys them, but wont use the same tea-towel more than once to dry, she literally goes though around 10 tea-towels per day. Personally its absolutely crazy! she just can't help it tho!

Staying on topic, here's how I have it set up. On a mattress, my laptop which overheats on top of a cooling pad, I have a notebook as my mouse mat.

Haha yeah I do tiny. I'm not a clean freak or a light switch flicker, I am an organiser and preciseness nut, down to how I place my shopping on the conveyor belt and cut vegetables for my dinner. It does suck sometimes and can be frustrating but when it comes to design work it can actually be a benefit having such an attentive eye for detail.

It's a Wacom Intuos3, it's really good apart from the size. I originally bought it (close to 10 years ago now...) when I needed to move around with it a lot, school/university and back etc so it was okay but since I've been more stationary the size is definitely an issue; I'd prefer something larger nowadays. I've never had any issues with the drivers though which is nice.

Does nobody have a desk nowadays? How can you play properly on a bed!?

I do have a desk, although it is 2000 miles away from me, so it's not really that practical for me to use. And you can't play properly on a bed and it's horrible for your back and shoulders.
