Bah, I have CTS and had it for 2 years now. I spend a lot of time on the computer but take occasional breaks to move my fingers, flex my wrists. I have a stress-ball just besides my keyboard. Spend as much time as you want on games and computer just remember to take a break to move around and care for your body. Take at least 15 minutes/hour break to walk around, stretch, flex your wrists and fingers and you should be fine. (Cutting time is not a bad thing either >.> obviously)
