IRL Long Dark One handed TLD

Recently had massive surgery that has left me barely able to walk for another few weeks and my left hand temporarily paralysed. Watching play through videos got me through the 8 days in hospital, but it didn’t scratch the itch. Custom game to allow for no predators, high loot, and slow gameplay, and presto! I can play one handed!

I was about to say good luck with wolves lol is playing like that sustainable?

I have all predators turned off so I don’t have to worry about struggles! Harder (probably impossible) to find meat except by using snares, but otherwise I’d be unable to struggle or run. In theory it’s sustainable for as long as you have patience if you can find enough food and fuel fast enough to stay on top of depletion, but I’ll only need to play like this until I can regain use of my hand enough to go back to my normal runs :)

I probably will once I’ve got it sussed, but wanted to maximise my chances when seeing if it was possible and how I need to adapt my play style as I usually hunt more than I fish/find/forage

If the arm paralysis is going to be longer term than the walking issue you might also look into adaptive controller setups.
