Long story short, I was trying to make some pork buns and it ended with the tip of my thumb being sliced off, after hospital visit and six stitches and back. But I’m kind of bored out of my mind. Can’t do the steam deck. Can’t do really anything with a controller. I have a large library of games, most of which I haven’t even played. Anything that might be good for me? I could always put some hours into rimworld

    Gooning can be done one handed. If you need to use the other hand, stick with an index or middle finger.

    Just about anything that is turn based. Board games ports, Roguelike games like Balatro, Slay the Spire, 9 Kings. Civilization games and Civ-likes. You can even play ttrpg ports like Baldur’s Gate and Divinity but it might be a little annoying without an RPG mouse. I played a lot of Civ when my left arm was paralyzed then weirdly Wii tennis after surgery.

    Lots of game recommendations here, but for hardware, look for a cheap MMO mouse. All the buttons you could ask for, on a single hand. Could unlock more games.

    I’m late, game recommendations are covered, but I can give you advice for healing your thumb. I’ve had the tips of my thumb and a finger glued back on as well as stitches on my fingers several times.

    Blood flow to the tip is important. Squeezing a stress ball or something helps. It’ll also keep the skin from healing too… tightly? If that makes sense.

    Keep it dry. If you need to bandage it, do it loosely and change it often. Cotton balls work really well to keep it dry as well as protect it from accidental impacts.

    If the doctor didn’t do a good job, trim the stitches so they don’t catch on anything. If you’re in America, take the stitches out yourself after 10-14 days or as soon as you can wiggle them freely. Nail clippers work really well to cut the stitch and pull it out.

    If you rip a stitch, you can use a careful dab of super glue to close it. Just make sure it’s clean and dry first.

    If you cut through the nail, it’ll grow back kinda fucked up. My nail healed in an M shape and dirt would get trapped in the middle so I put some Vaseline or something under it to keep it clean.

    Last but not least, you have a small window in which fingerprint evidence may be inadmissable in a court of law. Do with this information as you will.

      What kind of glue? I’m sure Elmer’s doesn’t cut it, some epoxies are probably toxic-- I haven’t hurt myself, just really curious.

        Super glue - cyanoacrylates. There are different formulas that work better or worse for wounds, it all has to do with polymer length iirc? But any cyanoacrylate glue will work as long as the skin is relatively dry and clean.

        Don’t put cotton on it while it’s curing.

        Disclaimer: This is not medical advice. I’m not a fucking doctor and I’ve almost lost several fingers due to negligence.

        But they’re still there, so…

    The android port of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 is amazing! Id recommend turning on all the pause options, it effectively turns it into turn based combat. The gui is incredibly intuitive, and you can perform all of your actions either with a stylus or even a single finger. If you like star wars or dnd, its basically guaranteed to be a fun game. Do note though that you will want to install the Restored Content mod, which will require either a rooted android or a computer to allow you to install the mod. It fixes a massive amount of potentially game breaking bugs and restores a bunch of cut content. Not sure what happened with the development of the game, but im guessing the studio forced it to be released before it was complete.

    Can’t do the steam deck.

    You can, as long as the game works based on touch input only.

    So games like Civ 5, Shadowrun, Slay The Spire, Mini Metro should be fine.
