About The Pull Request
Broadly this code is copied over from the preference code used for picking prosthetic limbs, with a few changes to make it fit.
It also changes how the quirk displays in the medical records, now mentioning which side is disabled instead of just half their body.
Why It's Good For The Game
So of course, first and foremost, I want it personally.
I'm now running a hemiplegic character on Manuel, and I want to able to pick which side is hemiplegic to match me using heterochromatic eyes to make it look like they're missing an eye. It's minor, but I think it'd be nice.
Then, because of that, I think it'd be nice to have for posterity. If I want it, and I can code it, then the next person who wants it doesn't have to, y'know?
Lastly, gameplay-wise, it doesn't really matter which side is hemiplegic, you're permanently missing an arm and a leg either way. So I feel there's practically no 'powergaming concerns' to be had when it's this utter shitass to use regardless and the benefits to be gained would be infinitesimally small in comparison.
