The fact Josh unironically plays games in a window. Not as a gag, but like, there is no way for this to be a gag since It's been seen countless times, so I take it at face value by now. Like, why would you do this to yourself. That fact is the worst part of it all. Not the fact that the boxes aren't tall enough so his elbows are at an angle putting a lot of stress on his wrists with time. Not the fact that you can hear massive vibration through the floor from every step. But the windows. Like, why have this massive monitor and play your games in these tiny windows.
I do the same. Mostly because widescreen monitors aren't well supported and most of the time at best you'll get black bars on sides which is a huge waste of space. It started as a workaround for some games, but I'd say its superior unless you have a small monitor in the first place.
I personally prefer playing at 1920x1080 max, so if monitor bigger than that, i play it on windowed on that resolution. My 4k monitor is 3840 x 2160 (32"), yes i play at 1920x1080 on most games that require quick reaction (recent games i play are Hades 2 and Black Ops 6 don't judge), though i rarely play games like those anymore, even World of Warcraft i play at 4k full screen. PoE is a game where you must be able to see thing in your peripheral vision, having thing wider is great, mean you can see more on your right and left, but it can be *too* wide that i have to my eye ball (or worse head), it must be visible at the edge of my vision while i look at the center. Idk about PoE, but most game has limited Vertical fov, CS for example is 72 and WoW is 90, so no matter how tall your monitor is, the thing you can see up and down is the same with everyone else, if yours are bigger it'll be stretched. Horizontally however, usually most game can have pretty wide horizontal fov, even CS, allowing you to see further to your left and right, often this break games, that's why "ultrawide" usually require extra work from the devs.
Yeah, I mean I get the argument that it is a lot easier for capture but you can play on a window maximized so you can easily capture the window for stream but also see what you are doing. I guess being used to playing old games that don't really look good at all when blown up to full screen could explain it
Tea spillage midstream? Sir, this is unacceptable! I suspect that The Spiffing Brit may have some opinions about this. I have informed him accordingly.
Actually ... LTT and ElectricBoom showed that the static electricity isn't as bad to PC as people think. I always ground myself on the USB ports (involuntarily) and haven't had issues yet.
Josh, I've been watching you for a couple years now and I have never, not once been dissatisfied with your content. Your worst MMO list has brought me joy in times that are anything but. I wish you the best of luck on all your endeavors!
Sit-Stand desk are ~$100-150 from amazon, I have one from Songmics (I think I paid like $75) and I just slapped bigger table-top (I totally forgot how it's called in English) for like $25 from local hardware store and it's a really good desk, that goes up and down 4-6 times a day for the past 2 years.
@@MarktheRude Those are on the "cheaper side" so no dual-motors and other "nice to have" things, and you get really cheap countertop with that, but the desk frame (with all the electronics to make it go up and down) is relatively cheap, since most of what you can spot on Amazon comes from the same china factory. Oh and Songmics at least for the EU are like always on Discounts.
I feel super petty/lame for mentioning this feedback, and this is coming from a place of love I swear. There’s a deep stomping bass that’s being picked up on the microphone which is really distracting. It’s probably just a me problem though. Genius setup nonetheless, I think walking and gaming is pretty cool, smart and I’m thinking of replicating it. Sorry for pointing the audio out, I feel like a jerk for it because it is so minor. Love your content dude, glad to see you enjoying what you do!
This was advertised as the setup going wrong. Nothing went wrong. Mild inconveniences at best. I will never get those 5 minutes and 35 seconds of my life back.
“You can be as big or as small as you like.” - Josh Strife Hayes (2025) To think I had money for a desk which can be raised by pushing a button AND Path of Exile 2, but I have no space…. So I guess, actually, not enough money after all. 😂
I have an idea. Could you link the VoD from which you take the clips from in the description of these videos, so that we don't have to go looking for it in the VoD channel? I know the whole VoD channel is lined, but I'm asking for a link to the specific VoD that this/other clips are taken from. Thanks
he got it backwards it doesnt work because of science science is the means we use to figure out how the creator setup this place we find our selves in it works because that it was made that way
To say that something works "because science" is to have a fundamental misunderstanding of what science really is. Science is the retro-engineering of the universe's rules, and as such, it would be more correct to say something works because of the latter.
not having money for a table but having money for 40k kits to use as a table is insane
^ This. 😂
cause and effect
Priorities are priorities, lol.
Having money for a giant 8k curved monitor to play in windowed mode. Josh starting his millionaire youtuber villain arc
His money is gone from purchasing those 40k kits xdd
That double white shirt move
Its such a good move that it almost feels staged
I hope you are joking
@@DittaDemonWhat do you mean? It does feel staged.
*While walking* "This is the path of Exile..." *Looks directly into camera* "...2"
absolute cinema

Reduces the stress on the GPU and makes the games run faster. I used this technique on my shitty ass laptop that couldn't even run Minecraft.

I'm disappointed. as every none casual knows, path of exile TWO requires TWO treadmills.
It's in the name Joshua. Do better.
One for each leg
Or opposite direction so Josh can walk in circles while contemplating his exile
I think Josh now needs to do a stream where he just takes off all his white shirts just to prove that he actually has skin
ngl, that joke was hilarous as fuck. i lol'd pretty hard.
Tea spillage midstream? Sir, this is unacceptable! I suspect that The Spiffing Brit may have some opinions about this. I have informed him accordingly.
Good show, old chap!
I welcome this particular aspect of our new dystopia.
Walking and talking,
not moving from spot,
of course it's the gaming,
why I'm running hot!
Is Josh the Richard Hammond of gaming?
"What if you could walk and work.... at THE SAME TIME?"
*Rahzel pops into my head and starts rapping*
ngl this inspired me to get one too as another desk worker. bit concerned about a lack of standing desk myself too especially for neck and posture
Josh is casting lightning bolt in real life now. First he walks the Path of Exile (2), and now he's a wizard.
yup. comedy on point. logic, sound. dudes on another level
2:50 For free, Josh?!
Walking the walk, working the work.
Thats my Josh Stride Hayes
Josh is, without a doubt, one of the best streamers.
Actually laughed at that haha. Proper shades moment from Airplane
Eyyy, the cardboard stacking to simulate the standing desk experience! I do that too! xD
I am intrigued by the large row of mugs at the bottom of his shelf.
It's for his pee collection
wool pants, double wool shirts, double the voltage 👌
the white shirt got me good
Nobody expects the Spanish Inq.. uhh, I mean, the Hayes Tea Spillage.
CaptainLance has been walking the path long before Josh
I was gonna say the same he is pathing from poe 1
Will it work? Yes, because of science.
That acting degree coming in clutch
Actually ... LTT and ElectricBoom showed that the static electricity isn't as bad to PC as people think. I always ground myself on the USB ports (involuntarily) and haven't had issues yet.
I dare say, he has set himself up for quite a _shocking_ experience.
I’ll see myself out.

Keep up the gags you’ve got some of the best
not enough "i'm waaalking heeere" jokes
Josh is such a genius ngl
The aggressive monitor tilt paired with windowed mode is wild 😂

Love your content dude, glad to see you enjoying what you do!
I noticed the footsteps as well, and while they were not an issue for me, I really understand how it can be. Hopefully he will address it.
god i love the way you think
little bit of shock therapy to go with the poe grind
the first part? funny, but expected.
the electricity? LE. MAYO.
Jesus christ, cannot afford a desk. May this subscription help you!
This setup got me to buy a walking pad tbh
I too will be walking the path
was expecting either the Honey Bee Lovely top or just a vest after the white shirt. XD
So you have a tripod that itself is isolated from the actual ground, and you're going to bring it up to your own charge before building up even more?
someone please buy josh a really big grounding wristband so they dont have to keep shocking themself XD
This was advertised as the setup going wrong. Nothing went wrong. Mild inconveniences at best. I will never get those 5 minutes and 35 seconds of my life back.
The real question is why the hell did he thought it would be a good idea to wear jeans while walking the path
This is amazing
that is not a good idea. that is a great idea. been doing it since last year on and off
Funnily enough I lost weight after Christmas

Feels very squeex inspired. Loved it

oh lawd he pathing
Why are you not full screen? Or why not at least black wallpaper? That blue around the game window is for psychopaths.
Didn't we see this already? I is confused.
such commitment
What treadmill is that? I could get in to this. My main problem with exercise is it's boring af
I volunteer as the treadmill 🥴🥴🥴
he plays in windowed mode thats so odd
My desire for (thing) to go wrong when the countdown hit 0 was strong, and I was disappointed. My day is ruined.
insane

It's just white shirts all the way down
You are best to use tread mill & walking exercise during talks, gaming, etc. Great news you're not spending long time sitting in chair.
he got it backwards
it doesnt work because of science
science is the means we use to figure out how the creator setup this place we find our selves in
it works because that it was made that way
Drop the affiliate link Josh, come on
It did work well, didn't expect it :D
It feels to me like he staged the whole thing... I believe Josh could make a great actor if he tried.
I find the lack of vest disturbing. It really changes the vibe Josh is giving off, and not in a good way.
That movement speed seems awefully slow, everyone knows you need more movement speed.
Why do you wear shoes indoors?
Try going barefoot on a treadmil for an hour. It's not super imo
Why would you use a treadmill barefoot
Why bro playing in 680x420 144p?
Is Josh short and walks funnily?
Started walking in place at my desk, hooray for positive actions
Lmao appreciate the shirt play.
❤️❤️❤️ almost as good as the chocolate pizza mukbang we all have been waiting for ❤️😊👌🍫 🍕 #JoshLore

I PITTY THE FOOL WHO SPILLS TEA
People are into breath out ASMR let's play? No offense
2nd monitor content no longer
Windowed mode gaming, unregistered hypercam 2, empty boxes stacked up for a desk, spilling drinks, missing game screen - what is this, amateur hour???
the mic bumps are terrible
