I love this game and I am about 75-80% done and I may never finish this game. As a disabled person with arthritis, I love that most of the minigames can be skipped. Some of us just can't do rapid button presses without a lot of pain. That is a big part of why I picked a turn based game (well not just that ;), but I can't catch fish with any consistency and can't win at arm wrestling, and neither can be skipped... unlike almost everything else.
I wish there were some setting for people like me, or some way to skip these things, or some alternate mode or quest... or something. I don't want to walk away, but it is too painful to continue.
And it is annoying because these things feel so out of place to the primary mechanics of this game.

Thank you very much for that. I have a macro pad, and could easily do that. It would only help with he arm wrestling though. The fishing game is a very different story.
I was really trying to provide a critique to the developers, who spent all this time and effort developing a turn based game, putting effort into making most of the puzzles skippable, and then made the out of character decision to make these two mini games inaccessible to many, for what seems to be an in joke about the ubiquity of fishing games.
As creative people we can get too attached to our ideas, and jokes, and lose sight of what we were trying to do. Sometimes you have to kill your darlings if they don't actually fit what you are trying to do, and I would argue the fishing game is one of those.
All that being said, I don't want to sound ungrateful. I really appreciate you making the suggestion and will look into it for the arm wrestling
