Comment on He's got a point

I’m down with the sentiment of the comment, but I legit find I get way more arm/wrist pain from gaming than from spreadsheets. I think there’s much more prolonged button-pressing involved in the former. Some games are worse than others.
Right now my elbow is killing me from too much Project Zomboid over the last few weeks. A day of spreadsheets and QuickBooks today was almost a break from it (not that I didn’t go right back to PZ after work).

Elbow issues often means you’re using arm wrests.
If you are - don’t: it’s bad ergonomics. Chair without arm rests will help clear that up. Or drop your arm wrests to their lowest.

I have arm wrest just low enough to feel them when trying, but good enough to rest m6 hands when havimg a controller in my hands.

Thanks for the tip (genuinely). Unfortunately in this case I actually don’t have arm wrests at all - I literally removed them from my chair years ago. There’s just something about this game in particular that really messes up my left elbow. No other game does that (normally it’d be just my wrists, if anything).
