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 don't know why, but this moment of self realization is the best thing in this thread.

It's like a gingerbread man in the gingerbread house comic moment

Good thing I read this before I deleted my original comment.

Why would you do that? Ride or die: the fuck with what others think.

I generally agree with that sentiment but there are the occasional times where upon reflection my own view has changed.

Sometimes the warts on our own faces disgust us the most.
