Ask Slashdot: Gaming With Only One Hand?

Hork_Monkey writes "I recently sustained a severe injury to one of my arms, and am lucky not to be an amputee. I'm an avid gamer (primarily PC, but also XBox) and looking for advice one how to adapt to the challenge now presented of enjoying one of my favorite pastimes. My google-fu has led me to some devices and tips, but I wanted to tap the collective while experimenting. I know there have to be some readers in similar positions who could provide some guidance. I'm figuring a few things out, and also hope to share what I find for others in a similar situation."

You're a cripple now. Handicapped. Maimed. Less than what you used to be. Deal with it. You're worried about games? In more enlightened times the community would have cannibalized you and used the inedible parts of your carcass to make tools and clothing. You can still try and meet an honorable death by dousing yourself with cleaning alcohol, setting yourself on fire and jumping off a very tall building while screaming "watch out for the meteoooor".
