Yes, I can't single-tap pretty well when It's cold...
I sometimes warm my hands first with Hot water and continue playing after (or not playing instead, It's better that way)...

Everyone experiences this, in the cold weather your joints can't move at the same speed and are tense.
Attempting to play fast songs with cold hands will just lock your arm/wrist/fingers up.

don't play when it's cold, it can damage your hands.

When Im cold my coordination, finger speed, finger stamina, and my reflexes all go down the drain. I'm not made for the cold ;w;

When I'm cold I lose all control over my pen and I can't tap for crap.

Well in winter I'll just stop pushing myself, probably afk for a while. My desk is close to windows where it's only warm when the air conditioner is running, and it becomes cold again almost instantly when ac goes back to idle.
I'm really sorry for being rude, but is it really cold down there in HK?

If u feel ur fingers cold, is cause u have bad blood circulation atm (really typical at the hands in my case). You just have to warm up a bit the hands and do some kind of exercises.

I don't play as much mostly because the cold makes it hard to play for very long, but school also picked up around then lol.

Edit: Do unranked plays count in that? Because for the last couple of months, I have had most of my plays on maps I mod to have cs5.2 od10 hp9. October probably models about how much I have been playing lately.

Last time I played when I was cold I ended up playing much faster than usual, even without warm-up.
Unfortunately it couldn't be said of accuracy. Still salty about a 96.5% DTHD Miren.

Of course no factors were isolated.

I remember Ryosuke- mentioned in his ask.fm that he would soak his hand on boiling hot water, playing under cold weather is hard

I much prefer the heat I usually get here. I guess I'm just used to it, whereas cold days are few in number. I feel the cold no matter what I do and it doesn't even get that cold.

My threshold is probably a bit higher than most, so cold for me is probably fine for other people. If it drops below 20 I need to take breaks to run my hands under hot water frequently. I find it hard to do any "serious gaming" in Winter, which is probably equivalent to Summer somewhere else.

Some people joke and say we don't even have seasons here on the east coast of South Africa. It's just Summer all year round, with a hotter version at the end of the year. This time of year hot water comes out of both taps.

My mind is pretty racist, since I am finding it difficulty to picture any sort of modern civilisation in Africa.

Naturally, I get much slower when I'm cold. However my cursor accuracy also goes down the drain. Probably has a lot to do with my wrist being stiffer than usual. Luckily I have a space heater so I just shut the door and crank that bad boy on and I'm toasty in about 5 minutes.

Yes the cold is bad for joints as body fluids become slightly thicker decreasing motor strength, then there is numbness in the fingertips. It really depends on your computer environment. Some people live in really cold countries but have heater and so the ambience is actually warmer. Ideally we should be playing at a cool temperature.

Jumps are a lot harder, and my fingers tend to just freeze on the spot when i'm trying to do a stream. >:( When I mean freeze, I mean just stop clicking.

Well... last night when I check the weather, it says the local temperature was barely above 10 Fahrenheit, so...
I know that the temperature itself doesn't tell the full story though, in some places it makes people feel freezing while the absolute temperature is not really low, maybe HK is like this.

The weather here usually goes down to even -20C to -30C, which limited my streaming ability since my PC is in the basement... although that hasn't been a problem ever since I've changed over to an AMD GPU ;)

Not all AMD GPUs are toasters if that's what you're implying.

How can your hands get cold if there's global warming in your forest??

The place I live isn't really 'foresty'

Also, if you talking about Southeastern Asian countries, countries that are more south than the country i live (ex. Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia) , is hotter then mine
