Speech-to-text is pretty decent nowadays. You’re going to be a bit slower in applications that have a lot of keyboard shortcuts available, but that’s generally still very workable. Not saying it’s equal, it’s just not that bad compared to losing both hands.
Depends on the games you play, doesn’t it? Strategy games (non-competitive) or turn-based RPGs work fine with one hand. And I bet it’s possible to make a way to use at least the directional keys (wasd/arrows/d-pad) with your prosthetic, e.g. by rigging up one of those old school joysticks.
Many people would probably be fine if their non-dominant hand was replaced by a prosthetic, though.
Computer work is so important these days and missing a hand is a huge downgrade for that.

I’d rather be immobile and be able to play video games.
