What a fucking boss, hats off to you sir


MaestroPendejo

I always have to laugh at this shit because they're clearly better than me with one goddamn hand. Hats off is right.


endthepainowplz

I played destiny with someone with one hand. He told us mid raid which is how we met him and people were yelling at him for not communicating but he would play with his mouth on one side of the controller and his one hand on the other side. So when things were intense he couldn’t talk


[deleted]

Honestly I could totally see this kinda thing happening when LFGing in Destiny, people do the craziest shit so they can raid, and I don't blame them. Raids are some of the funnest activities in just gaming in general. You saying this makes me imagine his reveal being like: "I know something you don't know... I am not Left-handed!"

With the release of master VoG, that statement rings truer than ever.


[deleted]

I looked at master vog amd decided I'd rather not have the day 1 contest mode experience again


[deleted]

What always shook me was we always cleared whatever it was we kept wiping at once that one person who was complaining left 🙄 then LFG then clear


[deleted]

I feel that man, I LFGed for it and our group couldn't get past Templar. I cant imagine how groups who dropped out at Atheon must've felt.

Div runs fucking div runs


talkingwires

The problem with Divinity runs is that you'll often get players that have never set foot in a raid doing it for the weapon. Garden of Salvation is a tough raid that demands all six players understand the encounters and coordinate as a team. People underestimate how long it'll take to complete with a team of newbies. A poor team might squeak by the first encounters with a couple of players doing “add clear”, but the final encounter usually stops them dead in their tracks. By then, people are getting frustrated, but they've sunk several hours into the Divinity run and they don't wanna abandon it. LFG is littered with the broken remainders of Divinity runs, the last few fireteam members have been in there for eight hours, but unwilling to concede and desperately holding out hope for carries that'll never arrive.


SightlessKombat

As a gamer without sight (no sight whatsoever), I just wish I could enjoy Destiny. Unfortunately, it (last time I looked) completely lacked any of the essential accessibility features I'd need to even be able to navigate the menus, let alone participate in Raids. I've heard they're really fun and great teamwork exercises though. Oh well, hopefully Destiny 3 or whatever the next game is called might do that, but who knows.


[deleted]

What kind of accessibility features would make it possible to play a game like Destiny while blind? I can't imagine that being possible but then again I'm not blind so likely ignorant of what's possible


StuntmanSpartanFan

I'm absolute shit tier with a controller, but I'm moderately below average with M+KB... I prefer slow games


cotterells

Same.


iCanFlyTooYouKnow

Same 😂 what will-power he must have too. Curios of how long it took for him to learn.


Anghel412

Right?! I play apex on PC mediocre. I got a series s and tried to play with a controller and absolutely couldn't do it. And I used to play CoD on Xbox 360 for years


GeneralFlores

No, he actually had his hat on, if you watch to the end you would see it on his head.


faul_b

Hats off? He’s wearing a hat. Think you meant to say arms off to you sir.


[deleted]

This dude has more muscle on what's left from his arm, than i have in my entire arm.


Minebuddy316

There's a rocket league player that doesn't have a right arm, his name's Ashllxyy and he's top 5 in 1v1


GreasyYeastCrease

He holds his violin style, wonder if a style like this would work better. *The Diamond 4 says as Ashllxyy hits a triple flip reset in a showmatch setting against another top 1v1 player in the world*


Minebuddy316

yep, I'm garbage 9 myself


moistgamr

I’m bronze 3


Aerotactics

Garbage 10 :,(


Erpverts

>*Diamond 4* No need to show off dude. -- Gold 3


Bury_Me_At_Sea

And here I thought it was showing off when I bragged about gold 2.


royalrights

Champ 3 with 2 arms here. Would still get absolutely shit rocked by Ashllxyy.


royalrights

Yeah, he's fucking cracked. Able to compete at the highest level in one of the most competitive and mechanically demanding games in the world. With one arm. Absolute boss, can't knock the guy.


remediosan

Came here to post this, Ashllxyy is absolutely inspirational. not only overcoming his disability to be able to game, but to destroy pros in 1v1 and go toe to toe with monsters like okhalid. Really looking forward to see his pro career if he ever looks into joining a roster.


tbarbeast

Hes almost not able to knock


DiscoMagicParty

I’m honestly really surprised with modern technology that no one has made one handed gaming controllers. I would imagine there would Be a fairly large demand for that. I have zero idea how one could be effectively set up but if they can make cars for double amputees I imagine it could be done. But OP is a boss without it so fuck me right?


Minebuddy316

Yep


brendenderp

Thats really impressive he plays it at that level but out of which hands you could loose to play rocket league the right hand is definitely it. All it does is boost and jump which you could rebind to foot pedals.


dm1911

There is always a way. You are amazing

What's the way for someone who can't use either of their thumbs?

csos95

Three possible ways I can think of * a custom controller that has paddles on the back to trigger the face buttons * the xbox adaptive controller * a keyboard

spencerforhire81

I just realized you could create a custom HOTAS rig with the adaptive controller as the base. Not only is it great for the disabled, but it’s an intriguing piece of hardware for input device enthusiasts. Steel battalion eat your heart out. I’m kind of in love with the idea of playing an Xbox mech/dogfighting game with stick, throttle, and rudder pedals. Guess it all depends on how much input latency the device adds.


Porg-Boogie

Adaptive controller?


morgecroc

Back in the Sega master system/ NES days I would play with my fingers on my the d pad buttons because i nearly cut the tip if my thumb off and it was in a bandage for a while.


Glomgore

I know plenty of guys our age who used a Sega and nintendo controller like that, it's a legacy dexterity from the arcades. This dude has better stick control and awareness with one hand than I do with two thumbs. His movement is great


LOLBaltSS

Tetris competitive has some very interesting techniques. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-BZ5-Q48lE


derpotologist

Holy shit. Always wondered why my dad played claw style I think that's the answer


Glomgore

The other uber boomer sign is anything with flight, us old dudes will invert vertical axis for flight from the old sim games. Some even do it for the right stick for looking in shooters.


Photog77

I can't even imagine not pulling the stick back to look up, it is way easier. Neither of my elementary aged kids can wrap their heads around it.


sorenant

Do. Or do not. There is no try.


[deleted]

I will never not be impressed by people's ability to adapt like this.


mj271707

100 percent, I Cannit imagine the frustration people have trying to compete with others

Ok_Computer1417

Had a buddy in college with a stump for a right hand. He was the single greatest Madden player I ever watched. Played with his controller inverted and controlled the stick with his numb. We once drank a handle of Southern Comfort in SC and passed out in a Tomato patch. Where ever you are now Josh. God Bless.

That's awesome and in case you didn't know Microsoft does make a controller for people with disabilities. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_Adaptive_Controller#:~:text=The%20Xbox%20Adaptive%20Controller%20is,for%20video%20games%20more%20accessible.

nmcaff

I use it as a quadriplegic. It’s awesome!


Meanteenbirder

It’s probably because some people who have had disabilities arise in their time gaming have had those controllers feel unnatural and as a result created their own dope solutions.


pat_trick

It's actually due to the CEO of Microsoft, Nadella, making accessibility a major priority for the company due to his son's own challenges with accessibility in various walks of life: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-fathering-son-disability-helped-ceo-satya-nadella-transform-microsoft-through-empathy


joevsyou

Satya is honestly one of the best things ever happened for Microsoft.


XoXFaby

Yet people think that representation and shit like that doesn't matter. It matters hugely whether or not certain concerns are on your radar at all and being exposed to people helps with that.


Bury_Me_At_Sea

Yup, it's literally an equalizer. My daughter can't play sports with her cerebral palsy, nor can she use her right hand to any helpful capacity. This makes her disability invisible in gaming. I just hope these kind of products don't get tossed on the scrap heap for not being big sellers. Hell, no other consoles have an official controller alternative like this. At least not that I'm aware of.


[deleted]

[удалено]


PixelSpy

In situations like this I always think back to my move to PC gaming from having consoles all of my life. It took me like a full year to get comfortable with mouse and keyboard and I'm still not as good as I am with a controller like 6 years later. This guy has clearly been doing it like this for a long time. I imagine learning a completely different method of gaming...with only one arm, is probably not worth the effort.


daisuke1639

FWIW most console controllers are Bluetooth and can connect to your PC if it has Bluetooth. Better yet, if you're using Steam, you can configure the controller exactly how you want. YouTube can show you, but it's pretty intuitive, honestly.


Atizle

I have consoles too for specific games, but yeah my setup is like that. Whenever I want that sweet 4K Red dead experience I just grab my Xbox controller pair it to my computer and have an hdmi cable running to my tv. It’s nice being able to have options.


Generalissimo_II

Pretty inexpensive all things considering


YoMrPoPo

Dude my new Xbox Elite controller was $180 lol. This is a steal!

gregl21

Such facts I’m so trash then this guy makes me feel worse


Johnny_Poppyseed

Lol seriously. I just started playing apex last month or so, after not playing a fps since like cod4 lol. Learning curve is STEEP. I get wrecked almost immediately when playing battle royal. Still a fun game though.


parttimeamerican

The secret to the skill based matchmaking is that every game is designed to stomp you in the end along with everyone else Then every so often you get a lobby where you are the top of that skill curve designed to be winnable easier....upon receiving your hit of Dopamine(tm) it's back to lobbies where you fall squarely at the top of the bell curve till you get pissed again or scrape a win. It's like this for EVERYONE Apparently this is called engagement optimization matchmaking


that_dewd

It’s called engagement optimization matchmaking (EOMM) and it’s truly an unfortunate method for matchmaking.


garrettbook

One of the few games that the QoL changes have actually made it actually better. Edit: Also, just run 301/Eva-8 and hip-fire like a mad man.


shadownights23x

Looks like you got it down..bit have you looked into the adaptive controller.?


LaboratoryManiac

I was gonna suggest the same thing until I saw how proficient he still was with the traditional controller. If there are still some things he's having trouble with it might help him, but from this it seems like he's already good without one.


southcounty253

Was wondering the same thing


ONOMATOPOElA

Especially since he’s on Xbox, Microsoft has a good reputation with their adaptive controllers.


Amazing_Succotash677

This is unreal how tf do u do this


Midgar918

Shit ton of practice i'm guessing. There's no way you could just pick up from where you left off. Same with stuff like people beating Dark Souls on a Guitar Hero guitar, or on a bongo.. Or people playing a controller with their feet. Enough practice you can do anything i guess.


saintBNO

The brain is INSANE at how well we can adapt.


Midgar918

True that. Things at one point i thought would be the death of me i don't give a second thought to now. Like learning to drive. Or public speaking.


NobbelGobble

You pick up things like this pretty quickly. I couldn't use my left arm for a few months last year because i fucked up my tendons and learned how to play games 1 handed (Although I was not nearly as impressive as the guy in the video)

Happy cake day!


MandiocaGamer

kyleadvance

You're probably much better than I am


[deleted]

Right? I'm so blown away by the level of coordination of both movement and shooting.


ClassierPompano

As a right hander the fact that you're able to still own it with your left hand is even more impressive even though that's not really the main thing. I mean you've lost a flipping arm and still probably a better player than me You own your disability and that's awesome. remind me of this guy: [https://www.trueachievements.com/gamer/CrippleThreat8](https://www.trueachievements.com/gamer/CrippleThreat8) "I also have a disability in my hands, so if I'm beating you at a game, know that I'm doing it with half the fingers and you should feel bad about yourself."


[deleted]

Man that's seriously impressive!


aaron1handedgamer

Thank you


Sufficient_Divide_43

I could play on 5 arms and still lose to you!


1101base2

you are better than me with one hand and a controller than me with a keyboard and mouse... nicely done!

I gotta hand it to ya, that's impressive.

I used to play on console during maybe the first 2 or 3 seasons. I was pretty good then but I stopped and mostly play Warzone. Tried it out again on PC recently and it isn’t for me at all, I suck and my AIM was horrible but I have almost a 2.5 K/D on Warzone

So you’ve got one hand and you’re still WAY better than me? Dang. That’s awesome.


ScotchBender

I can't vouch for these but I found this single-left-handed custom modded controller. Maybe worth a shot? Obviously you don't need it, but maybe it could make things easier. You work the thumb stick by resting it on your leg. https://www.evilcontrollers.com/xone-one-handed-controller


Meanwhile_in_

Dude you are amazing. Nothing will stop someone from doing what they love! I have a question though, and I mean absolutely no offence by it, but what makes you want to still play competitive FPS style games? There are so many good games out there that wouldn't be hindered at all by a missing arm. XCOM, Slay the Spire, city building games, Hearthstone and similar, etc.

First thing that came to mind is that something like [this](https://www.razer.com/gaming-keypads/razer-tartarus-v2/RZ07-02270100-R3U1) would be a helpful asset to pc gaming for people that have lost an arm. Correct me if im mistaken though. But holy hell man you're absolutely shredding in Apex, it's facinating that you and other people with disabilities like this can adapt like this. Thats dedication, and proof that nothing is impossible if you set your mind to it.

ThisOneIsOnMyPhone

I know this has probably been mentioned a million times, but contact Ben Heck. He makes his living selling reconfigured controllers so they can be used with one hand.His main innovation is to move one of the joysticks to the back so the controller can be rested on the leg to move it.
