A picture of how I hold my PS4 controller with my arm after my dominant hand was amputated.
My hand positioning​, even though it blocks your view of most of the controller, is what allows me to have full control of almost any button sequence.
Never let anyone tell you there is no way, or that there is something that you can't do.
Fuck them.
You. Can. Find. A. Way.

@Meshelly I'm still in the "anger" phase of grieving for your hand.* That seems like the best way of putting it.

I may be transferring some of that anger from elsewhere. (There are many candidates.)

* (Even though I know it didn't happen recently.)

Being that I survived a situation in which I was literally given a 0% chance of survival; despite the ongoing pain, I really look at it like a gift that was given to me. From the age of 24, I have looked at the world the same way that people who are close to death have. You know the song 'Live like you are dying'? It's kinda like that, but instead of living like I am currently dying, I'm living like every day is a gift because I almost did. @woozle

@Meshelly I haven't yet worked out whether the world is a place I actually want to be. Something like that would pretty decisively tip the balance, I think. :-/

You may not know if the world is a place you want to be, but I promise you: the world needs you. @woozle

@Meshelly All that said, things are looking more hopeful lately, what with transition (started last July) and upcoming SRS (this July 19).

I've just been living on potential for 5 decades now, and it's getting old.

Not that I'm planning on going anywhere unless forced into an unbearable corner. I agree that I have a lot I need to do first, if I possibly can.
