Fingernails - Page 2

**Psychotik** · 09-25-2008, 08:47 PM

I don't have any problems with my nails, but my friend once cut me with his nails.

As everyone else said, I hate the fact that I get pain when they're too long. That's when my fingernails to be clipped.

On a somewhat related subject, has anyone gotten rid of the arrow on the arrow keys while playing FFR (before mapping keys)? Like, when you play, the label is being "erased"? I have erased the right arrow key.

I don't really notice the difference of having long fingernails when playing FFR. It's certainly noticeable when I play the piano though - sometimes, a nail can fall between piano keys. That hurts. x(

If my fingernails are too long, I have to adjust my playing style by curving my fingers less, hitting the keys with the flat part of my fingertips. If my nails are cut very short, I can hit the keys with the tips of my fingers. In short, short fingernails = better gameplay for me.

I bit my nails a bit too enthusiastically yesterday, then played some FFR. After a couple of games a looked at my keyboard and there was blood all over the a and s keys XD

I have tape on my keys that I play with because I have worn the plastic down so much. Parts of the letters started to chip off too.

I played for a very long time with my arrow keys as well, and you can actually see where I have engraved the plastic with the pressure of my fingers. It's pretty intense.

0.o, I always have long nails, except when I rarely cut them, or pick them.

Though I hit the keys with my fingers, not the tips of my fingers, so I have nothing to worry about anyways.

I used to get annoyed at my fingernails so i would grab the nearest scissors and cut my index nails off. Consequently this would make them uneven from the others later on. This was only an issue when playing index though.

Holy crap, I took a look at my keys and they are going in the process of chipping off (and the keyboard is dented around the arrow keys) lol

sounds like a bunch of you guys need to take nail clipping lessons so you dont cut them to short....seriously its not that hard xD

**Xiaounlimited** · 09-26-2008, 03:38 PM

Long nails = scraping of keys. Sometimes my fingers slip off the key and I hit a miss, or I mistime it because I don't push the key down in time.

Short nails are good.

p.s. You guys are bad at cutting nails if it hurts.

**lumphoboextreme** · 09-26-2008, 03:45 PM

i get it as close as i can and pretty much never let them get long. ever. when i jack sometimes it hurts because my nails are too short. =p

UnkownMan · 09-26-2008, 04:00 PM

Wow... It's not that hard. Just cut your nails. Helps me.

**robertsona** · 09-26-2008, 04:01 PM

1. You're a girl if you file your nails.

2. That **** feels weird and nasty.

Glad you picked up the irony there, Carlos.

You must be a smart kid.

Crizo92 · 09-26-2008, 04:52 PM
