I stupidly injured my left hand and it's going to be out of commission for the next 3 months. I usually play Sim racing games and first person shooters.

What games would be available to me in order to keep streaming while only using my right hand? Ideally racing themed.

I can somewhat use my left hand to hold a controller but not use any of the buttons on the left side or the stick and pad.

PS: Don't stick your fingers in a blender without powering it down first. Trust me.

Edit: Thanks for the suggestion everyone, it turns out I already own a lot of these through humble bundles. Time to work through that backlog!

Perhaps switch to a keyboard for the time being?

I severely broke 3 fingers in my left hand half a year ago and was able to play Elder Scrolls games and Tux Kart surprisingly soon after the accident.

Sufficient to be able to just move the flat hand left and right a bit and get the fingertips a few mm down to press a key.

Being able to use a controller again took more than 2 months and wasn't even fun then (did it mostly for the therapeutic training effect).
