      Yeah, but then you gotta buy food, and litter, and vet visits, and toys, and scratch pads.

      I tell ya. I miss when games weren’t full of hidden microtransactions…

    trackball

    (as long as you don’t mind hard-boiling an egg or pitting an avocado every time the ball wears out)

      I’ve been using one trackball or another, usually a Kensington Orbit since they became available, for the majority of three decades; the only times I’ve had to buy a new one were when I needed more for extra computers or when new technology became available (such as when optical became a thing). I’ve never had a trackball ball wear out or even show signs of wear.

      Actually, that’s not 100% true. I did have one Orbit just stop consistently responding to input. The ball was fine, though; in fact, I’m pretty sure I still have the mouse and could just put the ball in a new unit.

        I do believe the comment about the ball wearing out was what humans refer to as “humor”

      If the cat is on your wrist and not really on your fingers those will work, but if the cat’s on your fingers then you’re just as SOL. Even then you still need a bit of palm movement.

      Sadly, not the Steam version. I hope we get all the keyboard controls back eventually. I think the mouse controls are great for some tasks, but it’s objectively worse for many others that still aren’t available in the Steam version.

    If you really want a suggestion, I’ve been addicted to Crypt of the Necrodancer. I just managed to beat all zones mode! Also, your cat is adorable.

      Additional suggestion: Cadence of Hyrule.

      Real cool zelda flavored spin on crypt of the necrodancer, and it’s a good bit more forgiving challenge wise.

    There’s a number that can be played with just a mouse. Though looks like that’s not an option.

    Gothic 1 was designed without mouse controls in mind. A fact that made it clumsy to control even back when it was new. But for this it’s great. You can play it comfortably with one hand on the keys.

    World of Warcraft can be played exclusively with the keyboard and exclusively the mouse!

    Controller compatible games are also good for solving this problem. From Software makes all kinds of bangers in that department.

      Why do I have to immediately think of the “dancing mat Dark Souls” someone did? You for sure don’t need your hands to play when you can just use your feet.

      I’m sorry, did you just say notoriously difficult From Software games are good ones to play with only one hand? I mean, I know it’s possible…

        Well no, but yeah it’s definitely possible lol. Some disabled gamers like HalfCoordinated learned to play that way.

        What I meant is you wouldn’t have to move that hand like with a mouse, just your fingers.
