I stupidly injured my left hand and it's going to be out of commission for the next 3 months. I usually play Sim racing games and first person shooters.

What games would be available to me in order to keep streaming while only using my right hand? Ideally racing themed.

I can somewhat use my left hand to hold a controller but not use any of the buttons on the left side or the stick and pad.

PS: Don't stick your fingers in a blender without powering it down first. Trust me.

Edit: Thanks for the suggestion everyone, it turns out I already own a lot of these through humble bundles. Time to work through that backlog!

Have you considered using the pedals of a steering wheel and configuring that to take the work from your left hand to your feet?

    Adding to that, racing games from my experience shift gears automatically, so the hand OP would use for shifting them would be mostly free.

    Also makes me think, maybe the pedals could be configured as the motion keys in shooter games? Mouse could steer the character left and right, while pedals would move ahead and back. Just dunno how many keyboard keys OP would need to be creative with.

    And to the OP, hope you can recover fully! 💪
