It's been so rough on my back that I've ordered a Steelcase cobi chair which is supposed to be delivered early next week.
I have an oldish graphics card - a GTX 960 from 2015 - which is honestly still good enough to run all the games I want to play on the PC at a graphics quality I can enjoy.
The end result of all this is that I currently use a SABER 68 - a reduced-size keyboard with no f-row keys and no numpad.
Productivity
I do almost all my work in Google Docs.
Notes
Coding & Development
When writing content for games which require special formatting or scripting, I use Atom.
I've used this when writing for Where the Water Tastes Like Wine, and for other projects which use the Ink narrative scripting system.
Occasionally, I work on Twine projects which involve JavaScript; in those cases, I'll use Atom to write the JavaScript extensions for my game and then paste them into Twine.
I've also worked on some projects in Unity which used Twine 1 as the scripting tool.
Other
For personal projects in hypertext, I still prefer to use Twine - Twine 1 specifically.
