Do you realize how it feels when I put this much work I put into explaining my particular keyboard mapping and creating a graphic and you jump into the post with the first response “kinda seems like it is missing the point” when it doesn’t really feel like you even read my post?

Mate. If all you want is an echo chamber then don’t post on a message board. That is a blog post with the comments turned off.
And I did read your blog post. I didn’t watch your podcast so, deep apologies if that offended you somehow. And I still think you are doing what a lot of developers did during the 00s when “console ports” and “optional gamepads” were the big thing in PC dev space. You are trying to adapt an existing control scheme with radically different inputs rather than acknowledging what controls you actually need.
That is WHY Caves of Qud is such an amazing steam deck experience. That is WHY stuff like Stardew Valley on the Steam Controller are still looked at so fondly. And that is why so many other games never “feel right”. Because devs are trying to map a gamepad to a keyboard (hello Dark Souls) or an analog stick to a mouse cursor (fuck you Bungie and Ubi) or a keyboard to a gamepad.

There is a happy middle ground between the two where you can just block people that are interacting in a toxic way :)
