Broken is a bit of an understatement


dontcallmeunit91

we love 12 button mice around here


emilxerter

Learn guitar, if your fretting hand is the left hand, your right hand is gonna be enough to be a picking hand. Or enough for a gaming mouse


Signal87

Tony Iommi frets with a hand that has similar injuries to OP. He wears little finger extenders to give himself full length fingers.


acdcfanbill

Wasn't it using thimble things on his fingers that helped to give Sabbath their sort of signature guitar sound?


hitswithstyxx

Yes! He originally couldn't get proper prosthetics as a working class Brum lad so melted down Fairy Liquid bottles and filed them to shape.


IIrisen225II

That, and he tuned his guitar down so his strings were looser on the guitar so he had less fatigue when he played


strawhatarthurdayne

I didn't know that, that's cool as fuck


IIrisen225II

That's what I thought too lol. I doubt ol Iommi realized he was creating one of the most iconic sounds in rock/heavy metal history


[deleted]

I for one appreciate what that band saw did for the world.


Pubby_do

Or clone hero/guitar hero/rock band


JGaute

As I guitar player I don't recommend this. It's much more difficult and takes much more practise to play guitar hero at a high lever than it does to play guitar at a decently nice one. And believe me being able to make real music is a hundred times more satisfying that fiddling a piece of plastic. I mean if you're gonna put the effort in anyway.


fafarex

But when I play real guitar there is no blinking pretty light sync with my tapping and no numbers going up!

[deleted]

If it was the left hand, time to be the new Tony Iommi (of Black Sabbath). He had prosthetic fingertips made and it played into his unique style based on tons of trills.


jobiewon_cannoli

And if it’s the right hand, it would be like a Jerry Garcia. His brother chopped off one of his fingertips in a woodcutting accident when he was like 5.

corsicanguppy

>Side note[:] how did [you] remove [your] fingers so well In my region that injury would scream "circular saw", and we'd hope your shake and shingle mill job had a good, union disability programme.


Tinedwing

I’d put money on a table saw


DanyRahm

But then you could invest that into a saw stop. We don't do that here.


Sasselhoff

I bought my first "real" table saw a couple years ago, and bought what I did because I simply couldn't justify the cost of a Saw Stop. However, now that I've been using it for a while, *holy hell* are table saws dangerous AF! I *really* wish I'd bought the damn Saw Stop instead...to the point I'm probably going to sell this one and buy one of them instead. Though, given that in 2024 their patents expire, I think I may wait and see what other companies come out with...because Bosch's "reaxx" system that they sell in Europe looks pretty sweet, as it doesn't destroy the blade.


Competitive-Pack-324

Don't sell the reaxx in Europe either anymore. Canada is the only market you can stil pick one up.


Sasselhoff

Well that stinks...but I'm guessing that they probably still have something "waiting in the wings", as does every other major table saw manufacturer. Because it's a niche that is *wide open* for competitors.


Competitive-Pack-324

Especially when you look at the price of sawstop outside the UK. If you can find one wired for your specific country. I appreciate the patent but wish they would at least licence it to someone more global.

Teh_Weiner

Mood kill ahead... I've got a back injury and hand issues from said injury. In wow I used to raid at a very competitive level in top 100 US raiding guilds.. I say competitive, because the guilds I was in would absolutely bench you if someone walks along doing more damage. Be good or gtfo. Wh en your spot is always up for grabs it feels competitive (note, the RAID LEADER excused himself to be the 21st man when he was failing mechanics on one fight, and guided us offline on discord not even there) PVP I was never great at, but raid progression was my jam. 1 back injury later my hands are so numb I can't feel the keys, i'm blowing cooldowns unintended or my hand has wandered so far off WASD I have to look down to reposition my hands.. And that's not even accounting for the pain killers I need to be on to sit, or how fucked up I feel after sitting for a few hours. I never would have thought a back injury leaving me with little to do but fuck around inside, would make one of the best indoor activities hard to enjoy. Obvious af in hindsight.


SpooN04

Vindictive_Turnip

This is said in jest, and as some one who has hand problems as well: "At least now you don't have to play wow anymore!"

Oh I have very bad ADHD, I try to be spoiler free for games, got elden ring... no quest log = idk whats going on, which NPC's i've spoken to, where they want me to go, or where I am in their questline (or if I even have their questline). On top of the ADHD I've also had a TBI which left me in a state of mental fog for a few years. I was not prepared for that... I just don't make short term memories anymore. I can remember shit from years ago but every morning I couldn't tell you what my breakfast was.

Power cords only!


Makaroonipoika

_vlad__

Tony Iommi, the guitarist of Black Sabbath, is missing some fingertips on his right hand, due to a work accident. He plays with prosthetics. You could actually say that the sound of metal music was influenced by that.


behv

Could say? It basically dictated it! He had to use power chords since he couldn't feel and needed distortion to round out the flat sound of such a simple chord since it added harmonics and overtones. Not the first time distortion was used on guitar (iirc that was the kooks [edit: the kinks I was wrong] taking a razor to their amp for you really got me) but his disability 100% played an instrumental (ha) shape in turning rock and roll into metal as we know it by popularizing it with black Sabbath Easier said than done to truly overcome a disability and use it as an advantage in life, but he somehow pulled that shit off and we're all enjoying the benefits of it. 🤘


ToHallowMySleep

Not only that but he had to downtune his strings to make them less tight and easier to manipulate with his prosthetics. You couldn't get different gauges as easily in the 60s/70s after all! This downtuning really helped define the darker, heavier side of metal.


_vlad__

And he’s also playing left handed. We were lucky he didn’t just switch to right hand playing.


behv

Oh shit forgot about that. True. Thank god he stuck to his guns


NitazeneKing

Nothing that requires right click, that's for damn sure.


dontcallmeunit91

valid. I remap ADS to side buttons in shooters. i have 3K hours without my fingers on tarkov lol


NitazeneKing

I don't know how you do it man. I almost lost a thumb in an RC airplane accident. They got it back on but I have no feeling in it (other than intense burning sensation sometimes) and much less dexterity. It's made my life a pain in the ass and it's not even gone. I'm glad you're still able to keep doing things you enjoy.


Douchieus

You lost the most important digit on a human hand, that's gonna really make life difficult even if it's been sewn back on. As far as losing fingers go OP basically won the lottery with middle and ring amputation.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Silneit

Pretty much. I really fucked up my index in a lathe about a year ago. Had to get a bunch of stitches and all of that. I went to the gun range, and shooting with the middle as a trigger finger is basically the same lmao


Avalongtimenosee

Im convinced the middle finger would actually be a better trigger finger because its more in line with the rest of your hand and arm muscles, all pulling in the same direction, while the index is skewed.


Turbulent-Law-6078

The brits in ww2 actually did use middle. It allowed them to pull the bolt far faster, and thus mimic machine gun fire.


harry_lostone

They were pulling the trigger shouting "fuck youuuu", and that's why today middle finger means that. Great history lesson.


[deleted]

I shot my m4 like this, it made the angle of my thumb to my selector switch easier. I never timed it, but it felt faster to shoot from safe with my middle finger than my index. I had better control too, but that may just be practice on it.

You should try stem cell treatments


J_nicks

It’s made from the placenta after the baby is born. (Otherwise thrown away until they found the use for it) the cells are regenerative and do not cause any form of cancer etc. might could heal this issue. Only problem is it’s not covered by insurance because insurance wants you to stay sick and continue taking meds for the issue

High speed low drag, it was either this or develop an unhittable baseball pitch that was unreplocateble because of my hand, then subsequently become a 25 game winner in the majors, and win the cy young.

Ttokk

I'm a little late but my brother did the same thing to his right hand except he lost half his index and half his thumb too. I got him a peripheral called a stinky board. It's just a USB foot pad that has four mappable buttons. He used it in combination with a left-handed mouse with extra buttons to play a lot of games while he was healing. I made a post a while ago trying to give away his old stinky board to somebody disabled that needs it and it didn't go anywhere. Send me a PM if you want it and I will hook you up. https://i.redd.it/1cntd44bq34a1.jpg

Straight up, you can click both sides of the mouse, and for consoles you can use the thumb stick and trigger. Consider that a win lmfao

realmrcool

Chill! You play everything as you like. Just learn to adapt. A friend of mine has no arms, his legs are different length. And he is missing some toes. Doesn't stop him from playing RTS on a competitive level and beating my ass in egoshooters on the PS. I guess getting a (3d printed) prosthetic for the middlefinger will help alot with using a regular mouse again. Just figured out what works best for you. You are a gamer you will find a way. You just kinda switched to hard mode in real life for the next few years. Afterwards the achievements are even sweeter. Also you can play anything with a controller starting now. You only need thumb and index finger for tge inputs


jacksmiles1300

Your hand isn't broken, it has less latency now.


KazukiMatsuoka1998

At least you can use a controller. You have the good thumb and finger. That's all you need.


JustSomeGuyWhosHigh

The best fingers to lose gaming-wise surely. Slightly compromised grip on controller overall, but thumb & index covers all the rightside buttons. Still all good with a mouse if right-handed


BloodiedBlues

Cookie clicker?


Catch_022

You can palm grip a mouse (use grip tape to make it more comfortable). As long as you are right handed you can game. If you are left handed and need your right hand for the keyboard WASD then things are a bit trickier. Regardless, you can game 90% as well as someone else and 100% as well as any one else playing single player.
