Monday, through an unfortunate series of events, a small stack of wood smashed the tip of my middle finger on my left hand. Nothing was broken, no bleeding under the fingernail, just a puffy, painful bruise (thus far). After the initial pain went away, I expressed gladness that at least it wasn’t either of my index fingers or thumbs – those would be much worse to lose the use of for general computing.

…unless, as I quickly realized, you are a PC gamer. Turns out the W and S are pretty key components of the whole WASD control scheme. And, you know, WASD is prevalent in just about every survival game.

So, yeah, sucks for me for a while. Technically, I could use a controller, as long as the left trigger button isn’t too critical, but that’s definitely not what I would prefer using with first-person titles. Perhaps I should just use this opportunity to catch up on TV shows or play some Rimworld or something.

Hmm. Wonder how Neuralink is coming along…
