It’s just a different perspective
Most people that wouldn’t use inverted y axis for a mouse or joystick controller would fly a plane with a yoke “inverted”. Back goes up, forward goes down.
It’s easier to imagine sitting in a plane
Like it’s easier to imagine controlling a character on a screen if you were sitting in their head with a plane yoke to control. In that case it would be inverted.
Anyone can learn to use inverted y controls. Just it’s not the default everyone learns so it’s not “normal”

I find it the most intuitive when thinking about flying a plane.
If there is one stick to control the plane
Imagine a toy plane on top of the stick
To make the plane climb in altitude you’d tilt the back of the toy plane down and point the nose up. That would mean pulling back on the stick.
Now if you stick a head on that stick. To make it look up it would be the same. Pull back.

In the image if you wanted to turn the character’s head to the left you point your fingers to the left.
You’re not wrapping your head around it correctly
“Up actually means down” is not what people that think with inverted Y-axis. It’s if I pull back the mouse/joystick it’s going to tilt the character’s eyes up.
Image you are flying a plane and you have a single control stick in front of you.
Which way do you move the stick to climb higher in the air?
Which way do you move the stick to turn left?

I would say scroll down the page if I wanted to see more of the information on the bottom of the page.
The scroll bar needs to move down

- Comment on If Valve creates an "entry point" for living room PCs, the console-beating Steam Machines will follow, argues Baldur's Gate 3's publishing director 3 months ago:
But what you’re saying is that it is to provide people with an alternative path from windows.
Even if the steam machine had windows on it, the majority of the same people would buy it.
My point is very few people are going to buy the steam machine to get away from windows
“Steam says this works for everything I own” Purchased no matter what.
Not “I want a new PC without windows, let me try out the new steam machine”

I agree with you.
But my point is someone that bought a W10 pre-built computer is not the person looking at the steam machine saying “Maybe a different operating system would improve my experience”

Yes it does but you only get put in a crossplay lobby if your party is mixed.
On top of going against m/kb players, aim assist for controller is turned off.
It’s really not that enjoyable and highlights why controllers and m/kb shouldn’t be mixed.
It’s like talking a snowboard to a ski jump contest. Snowboards are fun and can do a lot of different things than skis. And in a contest where everyone is snowboarding it’s great. But you’ll never win a jumping contest.

Ehh
I feel like most people that really care about their operating system are more than likely going to build a PC
Most people buying a pre-built device are like Apple users “It just works”
I have an expensive PC I built but I’m a console gamer
I enjoy a comfy couch, big TV, and controller.
It’s the ease of just hitting a couple buttons and getting to play a game.
Could I hook my PC to my TV? Yes, but that would require me to move my PC from my desk.
Also things like controllers. If I hooked my PC to my TV to play something like Overwatch I’d have to play with m/kb people which I would be at a severe disadvantage if I played with a controller.
Like if Xbox overwatch allowed m/kb (yeah I know people cheat) I’d probably stop playing it.
It’s the PC gamers that always want consoles to support m/kb. Console gamers do not want to play on m/kb.
In my mind lack of m/kb is why consoles exist
People aren’t buying PS/Xbox for a living room PC. They want a console gaming experience
- Comment on Oasis ticketing chaos prompts probe into dynamic pricing 1 year ago:
Ticketmaster fees and charges are one thing.
But if someone is willing to pay 400+ dollars for a seat at a concert, Shouldn’t they be able to do that over someone that just wants a cheap seat?
