hehe pwnt

I get serious cramps when I play on my vita, shitsux. Hands are too big or i'm holding it wrong I guess, like I used to hold the ds4 wrong, then I fixed it and suddenly it's infinitely superior to the xbone controller. It was like a fucking epiphany.

>>384828813
if you rest on your elbows this will happen all the time, you have to find a position that doesn't put pressure on your elbows.

>>384828913
i weigh 126 pounds

>>384828913
I'm 150 lbs and the same thing happens to me. The 3ds just isn't ergonomic at all.

>>384829045
>Hands are too big or i'm holding it wrong I guess
Nah, the Vita's design is just genuinely terrible.

Lol, so any position but the stereotypical "school girl doing homework on her bed" pose?

The only controller that ever gave my hands trouble, even after longass play sessions, was the Wiimote + Nunchuck

do you think that's the only position that puts pressure on your elbows? Lay back on your bed and put your hands up while holding something with both hands.

>play 3ds for longer than an hour

I had to take sandpaper to mine to give it some traction. I'm not spending $5 on a custom nub.

>>384828813
Never experienced this, I don't get it. Play my 3DS XL for hours on end all the time.

Does fatness really cause wrist pain?

Anon that's how you check your pulse

>>384830271
Assuming there's a concentration of fat in the general arm area? Yes.

>>384829045
I had to get a controller grip for my Vita to solve this. I got the trigger grips that turns the rear touchpad into L2/R2 buttons. Vita feels more like a dualshock 4 controller now.

>>384828813
At least it's not the Wii U gamepad with it's uncomfortable little ramps in the back.

>>384828813
Nintendo doesn't understand that human hands aren't square and claw gripping something is unnatural and damaging over long periods of time.

Look at every new controller/handheld they've made, shit fails the most basic ergonomic tests. The only saving graces are the Gamecube controller and Pro controller.

>>384831009
Ramp?

>>384830876
Is this loss?

>>384828813
I got a grip to deal with this, makes playing my 3DS way more comfortable.

>>384831032
Let me guess, you think the dualshock is an ergonomic series of controllers.

>>384830876
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH MUSTARD GAAAAAAAAAS

>>384828813
The circle pad is the worst directional input device ever created. It's so fucking uncomfortable to use because your thumb naturally slips off it. The 3DS would be twice as enjoyable to play if it had a real analog stick.

>>384828813
Explain this pls, not trying to insult you but I have never had any sort of fatigue or cramping from just playing on my 3DS for 3 hours. Is it just a particular kind of person that gets this?

On the left & right, the little ramp things. I don't find them comfortable personally, it doesn't help the upper part has that pointy tumor sticking out just for the ZL & ZR buttons. Maybe it's because I have small hands but it really fucks with me.

they're just actual analog sticks though, tiny as they may be.

circle pad is like the psp nub.

Which is the thing that makes them incredibly uncomfortable. Well that and the general position.

My 3ds is in the mail as we speak. I was planning on playing it all day everyday as a NEET. I even got amazon prime so I can order physical games constantly when I feel like it and get it a day later lol

>>384833472
Okay, they're bad sure but the circle pad is significantly worse in every way. I mean people shit all OVER the psp for the nub, I can't think of a single game that used it after like 2009 that was worth a damn.

>play console for seven hours straight
>feel fine because it is the most comfortable way to play vidya

Feels pretty good mayne

I don't understand why handhelds aren't just shaped like controllers.

>>384833648
>I mean people shit all OVER the psp for the nub
For the same reasons they shat on the Vita mind you. It was small, convex and was the main method of control placed as a tertiary one.
The Circle Pad on the other hand is the antithesis to both of them, Large, concave and in the correct place.

>having short/stubby fingers
If you losers had long fingers that wouldn't be an issue. All the space you can ask for, no cramps, and the ability to press multiple buttons without it feeling awkward.

>>384835512
w-wait? is that not what normal hands look like?

>>384828913
My hand fat actually pads the edges on my o3ds nicely, I can go for hours with no cramping.

>>384835512
I have long fingers and can confirm the 3DS is a piece of shit when it comes to ergonomics. I've never been sore, but it's not enjoyable to play for extended periods.

>hour

I wish, my wrists start to kill me after like 10 mins

>>384834215
I go barefoot at home all day and my feet have NEVER looked even close to that filthy, then again, I shower daily.

I have long fingers too, never had an issue or uncomfortable feelings. I've binged on Monster Hunter with my friends for hours without feeling the slightest discomfort.

>>384836198
Did you have a DS before the 3DS though? That's a huge factor in the comfort level of the 3DS as you'd have already been fairly adapted to the shit design.

>>384829450
It's easier than you think. I do it all the time

only 3ds game that gave me trouble was kid icarus

Never had an issue with my 3DS XL, even when playing Kid Icarus. And that's with beating most stages on 9.0.
