As a pianist that hand-massager for gamers actually seems intriguing. Practicing hand exercises on the piano as well as playing certain tunes that force your hands to contort to play all the notes in the chords can cause fatigue. Perhaps the company who makes it should market one for musicians as well.

[@johns6095]

As a guitarist I agree wholeheartedly with this comment

[@yosefelisimeon6217]

I was about to say I’ma percussion instrumentalist and I also play sax and my hands hurt after long sessions this would be a good idea for any musician

[@vohehuli]

As a fellow pianist I agree

[@ryansevernpiano]

Same here totally agree

[@jeycopcuervo7524]

With all respect to the hardcore players who might suffer from hand cramps, gaming is not the same as playing an instrument, as a pianist and guitar player I can say the hand massager should change target to musicians but at the end of the day is not gonna work and is just a cash grab

[@jfitz1982]

[@RandyVie86]

There is a very good reason why those billboards are not common. Mostly because they only work from that one specific forced perspective place, so it's expensive and it reduces the covered area of your billboard significantly ; it also works best with a corner, most screen billboards don't have corners.

Keanu is just way too nice of a person. Wish there were more people like him in this world.

[@Ar1AnX1x]

Rockstar is so terrible now that Dan Houser, Leslie Benzie and a lot of their team that made GTA IV and GTA V left the company and I can't believe they're so terrible that even the developers from another studio quit their jobs because Rockstar bought them, I mean it's safe to say there's no Rockstar anymore, only Take Two. Rockstar would have never ever release a low quality Remaster like that, let alone releasing it in such a horrible shape.

[@Willterfell]

Considering that every GTA/RDR released was better than their antecessor, I'm afraid this has stopped with RDR2. I hope they prove me wrong...

[@Gaia_Gaistar]

With how RDR Online is treated I believe it.

[@glou2647]

Leslie was forced out, he didnt quit, then they fired his son who also worked there. He started his own studio and is working on a game called "Everything" i think

[@thelegendofstonecoldstevea3205]

[@antonybrisson4090]

The hand massage thing isn’t weird it’s fucking brilliant. Not only for gamers but more for anyone who works on computers like legal assistants. You wouldn’t believe how many secretaries at work hands hurt.

[@trevorgrover5619]

Yeah, literally any office worker would want one of those.

[@ninjafruitchilled]

I mean that's probably RSI, not sure a hand massager can cure that, though I guess it might make it feel a little better temporarily.

[@theshizl4400]

Whenever I find myself in awe of what video games are becoming, I always go back and pop in Nightmare Creatures or Spyro to remind myself to stay humble; No matter how good a video game can look, it's nothing if it ain't backed by solid gameplay mechanics

[@Dan_Geer_]

That hand massager might actually be a good product for arthritis. I wonder if they tested for that or if the gaming people involved in its design are all too young to even think about that or how crippling it can be for older folks.

[@ghettocowboy2253]

I'm going to stick something else that's not my hand in there

[@Volyren]

Was just about to post that if you want one, order now. Because within the first week of its release, it'll be recalled because someone got his weenis caught in it. See previous comment.

[@TheMistyBlueLounge]

If it were a legitimately effective healthcare product it would probably be advertising itself as such. I'm guessing that would require actual research and a much higher standard of construction, so this is probably just a novelty product. It might work but I'm sure there's no research to back it up or they'd be leading with that.

[@IceSick88]

Need the hand massager

[@kristopherkartchner1856]

I have arthritis and I will be looking into this. There might be better options available as someone suggested, however if you put 'medical device' on anything it doubles the price.

[@lunarjellyfish5538]

Holy Crap that Final Fantasy billboard is amazing!! Why aren't there more like it?!

That Forced Perspective Billboard is crazy cool. Just imagine if Warner Bros had used this sort of thing for the new Matrix film. It would have fit so well.

Also, put your hand palm up on your thigh while seated and use your other elbow to lean into your hand to break up intrinsic muscle adhesions caused by repetitive motion injury to increase reaction time. Desk machine with air cushions ain't gonna do jack. Don't use too much pressure else you'll rip the tissue, but enough to stretch the grit off before it becomes a marble.

They don't do those billboards more often because they're absurdly expensive and very location based, not like you can plop one anywhere. They have done it before for other properties like Dragon Ball before, so it's not necessarily unique either.

As someone with EDS I would love those hand massagers. Typing, using a mouse, or drawing with a wacom puts a huge amount of pressure on my joints and I have to manually massage my hands throughout the day.
