I don't think it's just the physical strain of pressing the keys that's being discussed, but the mental strain of a long game. Hasn't anyone taken a really long exam that they've felt tired after? In a Starcraft game, you have to stay alert to hundreds of different visual and audial stimuli for long periods of time. Obviously a really long session of massgaming is going to tire you out. Of course, definitely physical exercise is going to help train that, but so is more practice. The more of the actions of the game that go into muscle memory, the less they strain you as you play. | ||

You're wrong, my reply was specifically adressing the guy who said you need to go take a jog (wtf you don't use your legs to macro) if you can't macro. I don't think we disagree. Edit: To clarify you are wrong about this part: "I don't think it's just the physical strain of pressing the keys that's being discussed". Other than this we're not disagreeing. | ||

The macro will come as you play, If you have many, many (like 12K+?) minerals and alot (like 9K+?)but don't make 20 gates if you have only 13 minerals patches and only 1 gas that's not depleted, instead make like 12 or something and spend the money smartly and slowly; and especially try to get another expansion rather than just build build build. When I did stuff like building 25 production buildings that I always threw my army away by suiciding all my units into his base in hopes of finishing the game, and ran out of money. | ||

If your hands/wrists are actually hurting after games (not sure if that's what you were implying), it is probably because your motions are too tense or frantic. You may be trying to forcefully perform an action faster than you should, and doing this repetitively --> RSI. When you become comfortable with the pace of multitask, your hands will move a lot more smoothly. Consider adjusting mouse settings if it means easier wrist motions. I find I get multiple tasks accomplished more quickly and efficiently when I focus on what my goals are before executing them. Practice will obviously make perfect. | ||

When you first play a really hard song, you frantically strum to hit many notes and your fingers are flailing wildly on the buttons because it is too fast for you to read, process, and execute. This type of hand motion REALLY hurts after a 5 minute song. The same song played by a skilled GH player though doesn't hurt, because the player knows exactly how he wants to move his hands seconds in advance. The challenged player is trying to play catchup and has very little time to interpret new notes, while an experienced player has his hands ready and anticipating the next notes, giving more time to rest and plan out future actions. | ||
