You still dont understand it has nothing to do with stool or intestines, your stomach is sending signals to your anus through spasms telling you listen buddy stop fucking eating shit or it'll hurt.

and it doesn't have to be spicy, just food not rich in nutrients, spicy is the obvious example because it irritates the tissues.

Ultimate Spiderman - I used a standard 360 controller. Something about the frequency that you have to use the shoulder buttons made my hands really start to hurt after a while. I just took more frequent breaks and toughed it out.

Dragon's Dogma - Once again, standard 360 controller and related to the shoulder buttons. I would play 4-5 hours in a row, and my hands really started to hurt. Once I switched from melee classes to ranged classes, I realized I could aim bows much more easily with a mouse and keyboard, so I stuck with that and found it more ergonomic. I think M+KB is actually the best way to play the game.

Frets on Fire/GH/Rock Band - My pinky really hurt after I first started playing songs on hard. I got used to it after a while.

HL2: E2 - Caused motion sickness and I'm not sure why--very few FPS games do that to me. I got hooked and didn't realize I was getting motion sickness, then felt everything at once when I put the game down. I had nausea and a headache that lasted for hours.

Jazzpunk - Fastest and worst onset of motion sickness I've ever seen. I start to feel sick after about 5 minutes. I think it's because the controls are shit and there's some weird mouse acceleration.

Marathon Remakes - Second worst motion sickness, after Jazzpunk.

There are a few other first person games that gave me motion sickness. Changing the FOV, bobbing, and other settings can usually completely mitigate this.

I've had some NES games give blisters and rawness just by pressing the control pad for so long.

I blame Street Fighter 2 on SNES for some finger blisters as well. SNES controllers were not intended for quarter-circles and rapidly hitting those shoulder buttons like that.

Most of the 3D Mario games (not counting SM3DW) and other N64 3D platformers make me nauseous.

Police 911 gave my legs some strain.

Adapting to a shitty arcade stick did a bit of a number on my wrists.

I nearly hurt my thumb with the 360 controllr's D-Pad. It just went in the gap right before I pressed the button.

Also the Syndicate FPS reboot gave me really bad eye strain.

Sounds horrific at first, but you just get used to it after a while. A lot of game can be played just with the mouse anyway. I feel like I'm only a month or two away from total healing and I don't even really care at this point.

Yes, my right wrist has become very prone to pain. I do stretching exercises every day, and strengthening exercises every now and then, but they don't help much.

The pain is pretty bad. Just now I had to stop playing anything that required active right hand usage for two weeks because I played too much osu!mania for one day.

I use cold-hot water technique as it is the only thing that takes the pain away, but only for a couple hours at a time.
