Comment on Games you really want to play, but can't or won't?
Fmstrat@lemmy.world 3 days agoMay I ask what part of playing makes it difficult? Duration? Dexterity? Specific motions, etc? If it’s too much, please feel free to ignore me.

Doing anything repetitive with my hands causes quickly worsening nerve/muscle pain in the entire arm. And something demanding like a platformer will get it going in less than a minute.
And the really crappy thing is, the longer I try to push through it, the longer the pain lasts. If I stop when I first notice the pain, it’ll only last an hour or two, but if I keep pushing it can last for days.

Oh man I’m sorry to hear that. Is it limited to just your hands? While not for me, I’ve been interested in alternative control models (head, arm, feet, XBox adaptive controller, etc). I hear it’s a challenge to learn the muscle memory, of course.

Unfortunately my neck and legs are even more screwed up than my arms. Alternative controllers could maybe by me more time by giving my arms a rest, though.
A while back, someone made a post about an AI model that can play video games. People were just trashing it in the comments but I genuinely believe it could help me by taking over during high-APM moments and I could give it strategic advice and sort of turn any game into an idle game.
BTW, good luck finding a solution for your person. I’m not familiar with alternative control or I could give some advice.
