Here’s what I’ve learned after more than 12 months of playing PC games upright.

A side note: I mostly play FPSes, but turn-based or slower-paced strategy games in particular have become more fun to me while standing. I can’t fully explain it, but being upright grants Sins of a Solar Empire and Xenonauts some extra seriousness. Standing made me feel more like a commander.
