You know you've played too much Elite when......

Honestly, the more I think about it, gamer gloves should be a thing, similar to weight lifting or gymnastics fingerless gloves or something. Might actually already be a thing, though I haven't looked into it.

And no, I don't mean the Power Glove...

Umm. Gamer gloves definitely ARE a thing.

They exist, but then so does Diet water.

All kidding aside, look into compression socks. Sitting and playing long enough to get a blister like that puts you at risk of a nasty blood clot called a Deep Vein Thrombosis. It's no joke; they can kill you.

Very much so. I just finished my three-month fight with one; it sucks. And yes, it came from playing too many games; a combination of Elite and Fallout 4.

Also beware the dreaded flat butt. You will never look good in denim ever again.

I do have a pair of fingerless leather gloves - for pushing a wheelchair somewhere!

THIS is why our CMDRS wear gloves.

For some reason, I don't feel all that bad for being late to the party here. Sorry, bit of a slacker.

I wanted one so bad as a kid when I saw the movie The Wizard, never got it.

I have developed my own elephant butt leather lately (slightly uncomfortable but super sturdy computer chair, looks like it came out of some 1970s prison office).

Way to many cheapie computer / office chairs with plastic wheels. This thing will survive nuclear war.

Edit: Not meaning to be dismissive or patronizing about the thing. I think it actually makes some sense, though I would probably design them a bit differently. Thin leather, or synthetics would probably be more ideal, and if grip is a thing, it should be more localized as a rubberized layer across the thinners of the fingers instead of beads of grip.

I use these sort of gloves for free weights, gardening, billiards, and to a lesser extent, golf. For billiards/pool, hand chalk is usually better anyway, but they do have their use.

I'm fortunate that my hands have natural padding for grip. My wife on the other hand has much flatter hands.

Spoiler

But I digress.

Just to follow on from your digression - what type of chilli is that - I love growing them?

cheers

OP, is that a blister or did your joystick get too excited?

 

[Witcher 7]

OP must have a decent joystick if she's grabbing and twisting so hard

Edit: Which superpower or faction does she fight for?

 

[Fish172]

Respects!

The one who played too much, don’t know it, but the others know.

That's why I have a pot full of vaseline next to my computer.
