Went spontaneously deaf yesterday and need gaming recommendations

Long story short I went deaf yesterday and am waiting for an ent Dr to call me for an appointment (I've already been seen by a Dr), but I'm going CRAZY with how quiet everything is.

I have over 600 games on steam, and am looking for a CONTROLLER based game that has either accessibility options for deaf, or doesn't lose anything by my not hearing it.

Really I just need some gaming comfort in what's turning out to be the scariest time of my life.

EDIT for those with a lot of questions.(edit 2 at the bottom)

Woke up yesterday and my ears felt like they needed to pop, though nothing would help. At about 3 my ears started bleeding, followed quickly by loud ringing (similar decibels to riding on an airplane, but the highest pitch you could imagine), and I went to the er. By the time the Dr looked at me, the ent was gone for the day, so he sent an urgent referral to the ent. I'm just waiting for a phone call to schedule (funny, I know, call the deaf guy).

I appreciate all fo the kind words and helpful resources during this terrifying time. And I appreciate all the game recommendations.

And as a final, somewhat depressing thought, as I have no where else to put my thoughts out rohjt now, if this is permanent, I'm going to thoroughly miss the sound of my significant others voice. The rest I can live with.

EDIT 2: I got my meds and the eardrops specifically restored a little bit of my hearing. It's very faint, and painful, but wiping the blood from my ears I could hear the tissue against my skin!

Planning on cutting stock frame, where do you think the rear should be cut?

Not too concerned about moving shocks from where they are now, does the crossbrace truly matter that much?

My HPI Stage D24 has arrived!

Losi micro b and scx 30 for size comparison. Initial impression is that it's very good, but as someone experienced in drifting and rc, but not the two together, I'll need to hone my own skills a bit. But as someone who's never drifted an rc car before, I was immediately able to get it sideways and hold a line as I intended.

New way to play beam just dropped

Sorry for potato cam, did the best I could with what I had. I used a raspberry pi pico to send the signals from my rc car receiver to my pc, steering acts as one axis, and throttle as another. Bit difficult, but certainly a way to play the game I guess.

How to maximize quality of life for a solitary pea? (read description)

This is my solo pea, when I got her, I was told she was too aggressive to be kept in a shoal, as she constantly attacked her fellow peas. I verified this by adding her into a new tank (no established territories) with 7 other peas, and the rest were totally fine, but she was constantly chasing and attacking, and I decided to pull her back out. My question is, how do I maximize her quality of life as a solo pea?

What are the care differences between imitatiors and peas?

As title says, I see people asking all the time about identification, but are there any real differences between the two aside from being unable to breed?

​

There isn't a lot of info online about imitators, and I'm more just curious as to if there would be any territory issues or anything if that nature

Mom said it's my turn to ask gender!

Aquired this single pea from someone who said it was too aggressive to be kept with other pea's, and they said it's about 4 months old. I think female due to belly shape, gf says male just by comparing pictures.

A separate question, if it's truly too aggressive to keep kept in a shoal of 11 others in a 55 gal, is it ethical to keep alone? I have a 20 long I was planning on getting 6 for (heavily planted), but if it doesn't do well with others, is it wrong to keep it in a 10 gallon solo?

White/Grey spot on sparkling gourami?

Noticed this spot on my female sparkling gourami's head, wasn't there yesterday, she's in a tank with pygmy corydoras and chili rasboras, so nothing aggressive. Tank is well cycled. Never had any disease in this tank, and I've been extremely careful to prevent cross contamination from any of my tanks. I've had her for ~4 months now.
