Getting tired of my kitchen chair. I’m 195cm (6ft5) and need something ergonomic. I’ve heard mixed cases for/against gaming chairs. I’ve also heard Herman Miller is the way to go on the office end. My budget is $500 as of now. Any suggestions? Tall fish perspectives appreciated!

I’m finding that a weird side effect of losing my job in this climate is ad agencies taking advantage of my weakened position.

My work, awards, the fact that they know me and approached me in the first place should be enough. I don’t want to lie about my situation. Any ideas how to avoid this?
