We've all had it during long gaming stretches. Your arse starts to get sore, it itches, it becomes very uncomfortable to sit.. how do YOU deal with it?
Gamers Arse
Get up and walk for 10 minutes every hour to help with circulation. Same thing they do in an office workplace.
I can say honestly that has never happened to me. I get up fairly often and don't usually play for long at any one time though.

Second time today this has happened to me. I'm liking this trend of dirty topic titles, though.
I have a comfy chair. My ass has never complained.

I rarely ever get it since I'm constantly getting up to piss like a racehorse.
Yea, this.
I can't stand being in the same position for very long, so I tend to shift around, or get up and walk around a lot.
I've had my legs go numb at work, though. Maybe I should follow Will Smith's lead and try to get me a standing desk.
If you get a sore butt from gaming too long you are obviously a light weight.
I've had a lot of times where I had serious pains in my arm and fingers from frantic MMO/MOBA/FPS playing however, but I kind of have a medical condition that causes those so I'm not 100% sure its solely to blame on the gaming.
Im liking the exercise ball idea. Or maybe my chair is just too uncomfortable. I should get a big plushy char for my compy

I have no clue what you're talking about.
Swamp ass is another colloquial term for it.
I haven't had to deal with this ever, Just have a comfortable couch or chain and you are set, if you still aren't then just stretch.
I play games in like 6 hour chunks at a time so this has been a problem for me in the past but I got in the habit of standing up every 30 minutes to an hour in order to pet my dog (not a euphemism). That way my ass and eyes get a couple minute break every once in a while.
Just develop arse calluses. You know how guitarists develop finger pads? Just get a big one of those on each bumcheek. Mine are each like an old dog's paw, except larger, hairier and a bit softer.
If I sit for more than two hours then yeah, my ass sometimes hurts. I usually just stop playing at that point.
Yeah I fucking hate my office chair. It's cheap but it's the worst. Never skimp on those, that's my new policy for life.
But whatever I ultimately just stand up and walk around a bit, head to the basement and grab a water bottle or something.
Although now I find myself considering getting a standing desk. It seems like it'd be great for work but terrible for PC games.
