    I’m sorry you ended up in a situation that no one should have to deal with.

    You say you liked driving. Do you or any friends have access to VR equipment? I bet you could do some driving in that and at least get part of the experience you miss. It won’t be the same, but it’ll at least be a part of it.

      A couple, but they aren’t local; I’ve used a Google Daydream that I own, hooked to my computer via a program (name escapes me atm, icon was a cat I think). Though the daydream with glasses on is, uh, undesirable you could say.

      I play games on pc/kb+mouse like Forza, BeamNG, older NFS games (nostalgia), etc and I’ve also been able to mostly play games like Halo or Payday by using a mouse with additional side buttons, making the mouse the primary input (wasd via mouse is interesting). I plan on picking up a wheel/pedals soon, just financial obligations has me waiting on that.

      Between getting my license and the stroke, I put an average of 30k miles on vehicles per year. Driving is an escape for me (more life bs I won’t bore you with) and it’s just so freeing. Plus I love to explore, so they go hand in hand.
