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.

I'm in complete agreement, but with two broken arms, they aren't going to be helping much with house chores (depending on how much mobility they actually have), and having those things done will actually allow for downtime.

Game thought: DDR?

I feel like there’s a good chance you’d lose your balance with both arms in casts. Maybe not though. It’s a good suggestion!
