My bestie broke both of his arms and wrists two days ago. He's in his 20s, a gamer, has a pregnant wife and a young kid. Any ideas for gifts I can get to cheer him up? He'll have no use of his arms for 3 months.

Already got a bidet for him and hooked it up. Looking into accessible gaming controllers, but he said that the pain is so bad rn that even alternative controllers are probably a no go.

The bidet was a very solid choice. As generally privacy oriented as I am, I have no alternative. What about an Alexa + Audible?

Anything that makes him want to masturbate. Oh, wait… you were trying to cheer him up.

Some sort of food eating helper? Also help them every now and then physically. Not like that. Help them pick up, clean, get groceries for them, etc.

Ooh! A Walmart+ membership for grocery delivery?

A life alert button as a joke

Maybe 1-2 USB foot pedals? There's gotta be at least some games that only really require two buttons (assuming PC), all I can think of is OSU! off the top of my head

osu requires aiming lol, "A Dance Of Fire And Ice" only requires 1 button but a lot of precision.
Anyways, one of these fighter game pads would be better:

But they still might be able to hold a controller depending on how bad it is

A GoFund me page!

If that’s something you want to do and/or help manage for them, make sure to set it up in the one of their name(s) for tax purposes.
