I’ve been watching his videos for years. I didn’t even know he was a quadruple amputee when I first found his channel.

He was a consistent content creator that made a ton of vids exploring the history of games and would go through all the platform releases one by one. He was also pretty funny and had a wicked sense of humor.

RIP PatMan QC - you will be missed

Maybe, maybe not. Losing both hands is definitely awful, as there's so fucking much we do that needs them, but we can manage to regain some utility with prosthetics. No fine control, but enough that your arms and elbow won't be unused.

Losing both arms, like down from the middle of the biceps, would force you to improvise with your mouth, legs and feet

Yeah, I personally would opt out.

I could manage with prosthetic legs, but for me life wouldn't be worth it without hands.
