I'll be moving into a new place soon, and need a new desk + chair, and I figured it might be a good time to switch over to a standing desk and forgo the chair. Anyone here have experience with one? How does it affect gaming? Is it worth it?
i have had one for over a year and really like it. honestly there isn't much to say about it, some people like it and others don't

Truktruk said it took him about 2-3 weeks to get used to
Every 2-3 hours he takes a break from standing and sits down when using his computer
Here's a link from truktruk's stream (!whystand command) http://www.juststand.org/tabid/816/default.aspx
How does it affect gaming?
I personally don't have any experience with standing desks but I'm assuming gaming-wise it's basically the same thing once you're used to it.
Just make sure you take some sitbreaks every couple of hours or you might exhaust yourself (especially when you're still getting used to it)
Is it worth it?
Probably. There's health benefits (which you can read about in the link) and I don't know anyone who regretted buying a standing desk. But then again I only know like 3 people with a standing desk

I can't stand and not walk around I would never be able to do this. I've never stood still ever I don't think
genuine question do you people have something that makes standing for 2-3 hours uncomfortable?

honestly a treadmill standing desk sounds like the future of health and ergonomics.

If you're uncomfortable with standing after only 2-3 hours, you either have a terrible physical issue you need to get checked out or you've been blessed with having a job where you don't need to stand to work.
Has anyone here tried using a desk bicycle?
I probably wouldn't use it while gaming (incompatible with foot pedal push-to-talk) But it seems like a desk bicycle would be even more healthy than a standing desk since, unlike a standing desk, you can actually move your body and do computer things at the same time.

You don't want to be standing the whole time either. Ideally you would alternate between standing and sitting for equal periods of time, as standing for extended periods has its own set of issues.
Of course, if you do balance the sitting and standing well, it's infinitely better than a regular desk.
