Iâve been watching his videos for years. I didnât 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

Wow. Iâd self delete if I lost my hands. It takes a special kind of person to keep going like that.
Hear me outâŚ

My dumb brain can't figure out what it is in that last scene.
Trying to take off the arm covers with her mouth?
Theyâre putting them on. Itâs right to left with Japanese manga.
Is it also down-to-up? Because it doesnât make sense otherwise.
As a person who reads manga frequently, the person who made this, screw things up
As a Japanese person, Iâd say this is pretty conventional. But manga panel orders can be pretty chaotic, just like our writing.
Do you mean from the panel where sheâs putting the mits on to the part where sheâs showing them? Then, yeah, since we also write top to bottom in a vertical line, we can also go from bottom to top when going to the next line.
Another commenter says the mangaka screwed up, but I donât agree. Japanese writing is chaotic, so this manga is pretty conventional. Hereâs what we have to deal with when it comes to reading the news paper.

The text within the fuchsia line is one article. You start reading from the green line â top to bottom, left to right. Youâd think it would keep going that way until the left edge of the paper, but for some reason, they decided to put a second article, so the green paragraphâs height is cut in half. Then we start the yellow paragraph and youâd think the article is done when it reaches the left edge of the green paragraph, but nope, thereâs one more paragraph starting from the blue arrow.
I think itâs the arm covers. Reminder to read top right to bottom left, so the final shot is the dudeâs eyes
Thanks! Reading it that way it makes total sense now.
She about to whip out the ass-blaster5000 on her stump!
Maybe, maybe not. Losing both hands is definitely awful, as thereâs 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 wonât 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 wouldnât be worth it without hands.
You should watch one of his videos of him bowling. You might gain a different perspective!
Thank you for letting us know about this sad news. RIP PatMan.
Thank you for sharing this. Patman was a delight. He made some of the best âHistory ofâ videos for classic games.
RIP Patman QC. He will be missed.
His medical issues reminded me of my father who passed about a year ago. RIP, dude seemed alright.
