What happens when you play too much FFR?
Yesterday, I played for about 2-3 hours non-stop, knocking off FC's and whatnot. When I finished FC'ing Rise Up, I noticed some weird stuff... -My hands become a darker shade of red (de-oxygenated blood in fingers?) -My hands are freezing cold, even though it's summer temperature outside, but the rest of my body is warm. -Whenever I look up from the monitor after playing extensively, everything is wavy for a few seconds (like after you look at an optical illusion) Any of this stuff happen to you? What other weird stuff happens to your body/mind after you play FFR for extensive periods of time? |

I got Carpal Tunnel from it (okay, not just from FFR, Stepmania too) but that's about the only really negative side effect that's happened to me as far as I know.

Re: What happens when you play too much FFR?
Yeah I also have slight Carpal Tunnel and it runs in my family, which is kind of scary. For some reason I have not let that stop me from playing.

Re: What happens when you play too much FFR?
I'm pretty lucky I suppose, none of that happens to me. I have also played a LOT and don't feel any signs of Carpal Tunnel. I even played FFR with a broken finger AND wrist and was fine. It was a little painful, but it really wasn't a problem.

Re: What happens when you play too much FFR?
Well as I said Carpal Tunnel is usually something that runs in a family. I would say I am very lucky that it is not as bad as I have seen my mom and grandmothers get. They have both had surgery for it multiple times. Your very lucky you don't have it if you play this game. It really is no fun when it gets to painful to play. I usually take a break after every song now.

Re: What happens when you play too much FFR?
aw it sucks to get injured from playing... I've played for 10 hours for like 2 days in a row and my hands don't get tired or damaged I type on keyboards since 5 years old, maybe my body got used to it.

My hands get really cramped up too. It gets to a point where I miss like every two seconds because my fingers refuse to move. That's not good lol. |

Back in my first year of college, intense FFR playing gave me my first all-nighter. Felt like **** afterwards.

Re: What happens when you play too much FFR?
My fingers/hands don't get messed up or anything like that. Usually when I used to play too much FFR I would just generally be a lot more stressed out. XD

I played FFR 6 hours every day for 3 months and I'm a perfectly healthy little boy with no physical damage whatsoever past my wrists hurting a little (which goes away in 10 minutes) or getting a blister on my middle finger.
