Do you have the mark of a true gamer?

my wrist hurts all the time now but I'm just powering through it

>>724879783 (OP)
what does she play?

>>724879783 (OP)
Yes but on my left hand

>>724879783 (OP)
Nah, I use a sweat band while gaming.

>>724879783 (OP)
I've been playing on PC for too many years, I use pic related, you won't catch me with a broken wrist

why the fuck would you have this? Rest your forearms on your desk you absolute colossal retards. Enjoy your crippling carpal tunnel when you're in your 30s

>>724879783 (OP)
I used to have it real bad in my prime when I was playing sweaty MP games in my teens and early 20s. Looked like my palm just extended like 3 inches past my wrist. These days it's still visible but a lot more muted and well blended even though I play almost the same number of overall hours.

>>724879783 (OP)
Yes. Also, my red hand hurts every now and then and turns really red, but moreso after than during gaming. I think I have carpal tunnel syndrome

Fake gamer detected

>>724879783 (OP)
I play 90% with controller
Only fps with mouse and keyboard
So no

>not using a John Cena "never give up" wrists band

QUAAAAD

>>724879917
Are you joking? RSI can get pretty serious. I'd urge you to reconsider.

>>724879783 (OP)
Wait why is the circle on the guy behind her?

>>724879783 (OP)
used to have one, but then I switched to an ergonomic mouse at work

>>724879783 (OP)
no, i use an oppai mousepad to prevent that and wrist pain

>>724880176
very gay

>>724879783 (OP)
i do but it's on my elbow, not hand

>>724879783 (OP)
I don't play with KB+M because the games I play are designed for controllers.

>>724880215
That prevents you to not be a fat fucking loser bitch doe.

imagine palm gripping like a neanderthal

These niggas can't be real, right? Sitting in their cumstained seat wearing atheletic wristbands and drinking protein shakes with a big black plug up their ass... these are the gamers I'm up against?

I use fingertip grip so no I don't

>>724880375
1 in 20 gamers you play against online have their plug in. it's just a fact of life now

>>724880148
What is that? I used to wear a brace sometimes. I haven't been to the gym much and lifting always helped it go away so I think I'll be fine once I do that and strengthen it again

>>724879783 (OP)
Mine has healed, it's still visible if you look for it but it has pretty much faded away.
I've known of the true gamer signs for a long time and in order to keep my power level hidden I take precautions.

>>724880112
Even with palm grip (I use fingertip grip) my wrist doesn't even touch the desk because I have an appropriately sized desk to rest my forearm on. That is the basis of good ergonomics. Again I say enjoy fucking up your arm for life by being a poorfag retard with a tiny cramped desk.

>>724880375
>a big black plug up their ass
anon, no one but you does this

>>724880000
I tie two sweat bands together with some string and rest my arm on it

>>724880468
RSIs are repetitive strain injuries. Injuries caused by things like mouse, keyboard and controller movements or if not gaming playing tennis, golf or using vibrating machinery. Capal tunnel is in that category and probably the most well known one but actually not that common with gaming. There's a host of other RSI injuries.
Playing through the pain is like the number one way to end up with one. They can take months and years to heal. I obviously have no idea what condition your wrists are so maybe everything is all good but maybe consider looking into it a little bit.
You are right though exercise is like the number one way to prevent them. Though if they get bad enough you might not be able to.
Take care buddy.

I dont have this, guess my melanin level is too high

nah i'm good

>>724880375
>see athletic wristbands
>instantly think of semen and black sex toys
says more about you than them

>>724880925
appreciate the genuine response anon, I will try and take it more seriously. it's been worse but it also went away for awhile so obviously I'm doing something wrong right now for it to come back

>>724880375
>a big black plug up their ass
where the fuck did that come from?

Get a chunk of wood for a mousepad and sit on a couch like a normal person.

>>724879947
iirc she's tossgirl, a "pro" starcraft broodwar player

Third worlders like me are used to playing on all kinds of shit desks and chairs. In my early 20s I would literally sit in a shitty 80s office chair with no cushion left that doesn't adjust height for hours. I had the most painful bumps on my ass cheeks a couple times because I was insane enough not to put some extra cushion on that shit.

Luckily my situation massively improved once I graduated and got a job, especially during the last 6 years. This mark has been gone for a while now ever since I got myself a non-subhuman setup.

i got calluses on my foreskin from beating my dick too much nigga

>>724881101
these mousepads unironically do more damage to your wrist than having no support

>>724880215
post the mercy mousepad massacre

>>724882496
heh

>>724880000
Quads

>>724879783 (OP)
no because I'm not a keyboard+ mouse fag. I plug my tower to my big tv and play with a controller like god intended

>>724881448
any mention of that color always comes from the same place gamer man

>>724879783 (OP)
it's weird asians don't buy the stuff that easily prevents issues like this when they're made and sold in the same countries

>>724881101
kino, I want one

>>724883410
>putting pressure on your wrists by having a contact point instead of freefloating
>"prevents issues"
Can't tell if you're uninformed or just being malicious, this is /v/, after all.

>Rest your forearms on your desk
Your arm should be resting on the fucking armchair of your chair, do you people not relax and scoot up to your desk?!
