Any way to play console games without using thumbs?

I just had surgery to correct a tendon problem in my wrist, and I will need to have the same surgery on my other wrist in the future (the classic de quervain's tenosynovitis). The main triggers are hand-writing, drawing, the pipetting I have to do for work and, of course, gaming. I hope to prolong the amount of time before I need to get my left wrist fixed. Any recommendations on meaningful console gaming without involving my thumbs?

cooling thermostat to use with repticooler evaporative cooler?

To preface: I live in an extremely arid place. My indoor humidity is 18% despite my best efforts. I know for a fact that the evaporative cooler will work.

I'm trying to find a thermostat I can use to regulate the evaporative cooler I have for my western hognose bioactive. The cooler is very effective at bringing the temp to where I want it to be, but I can't be around 24/7 to switch it on and off as needed. I'm having trouble finding a cooling thermostat, as most of the ones I'm finding specify they're for heating. My existing thermostat is also only for heating.

Does anyone who uses an evaporative cooler have a thermostat to recommend?

I've seen microwaves with "NO FISH" signage, and myself been grossed out when walking into my workplace's little kitchen area to find a lingering cloud of microwaved fish smell. Meanwhile there's no such commonplace ban on microwaving leftover beef, or chicken, or pork. A microwaved quiche- eggs- isn't as unpleasant as fish. Generally the smell of those microwaved proteins isn't as hated.

Why is fish the singled-out protein? I love fish! But I hate the microwaved smell. What's up with this?
