Inverted controls are just better.

Inverted y? Yes.

Inverted x? Not really? Sometimes? Depends on the context?

[-] Glytch@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 year ago

I should have been more clear, I meant inverted y

[-] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

ngl, if the game's control scheme has you control pitch and yaw with the mouse, then I find that it's all or nothing with control inversion.

For instance, in Space Engineers, if I move as the engineer, I prefer straight controls for pitch and yaw. But when I'm piloting, I prefer inverted pitch and can wrap my mind around inverted yaw.

[-] Glytch@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 year ago

I don't think I could adjust to inverted yaw for piloting, that's interesting.

why do you think so? (i’ve never thought about it before and am genuinely curious)

(Vertical Inverted) I see the joystick as my head. If I push it up forward (like my head), I'll end up looking at my feet and if I pull it backward, I'll be looking at the ceiling.

Imagining it as a camera also works.

But I'm stuck inverting the y axis because of flight games when I was a kid.

My 8 year old is y axis ambidextrous. He doesn't even notice which way it's set.

how the fuck--

[-] WldFyre@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Does that apply to using a mouse for a first person game as well?

[-] jinarched@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Oh, I assume people are talking about controller here, I could never play inverted on a mouse/keyboard.

[-] tacosplease@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Probably, but I'm not sure. I've only ever used consoles or used USB/Bluetooth controllers for emulators.

[-] Glytch@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 year ago

Not for me, it's only on controllers.

[-] Glytch@ttrpg.network 2 points 1 year ago

To clarify I mean inverted y axis. It may just be that I started gaming with flight sims, but I see it less as tilting up and down and more like tilting forward and back. If you had a joystick on the top of your head and tilted it forward your head would start looking down. Likewise if you tilted it back your head would look up.

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

this makes a lot of sense. now i’m questioning why it’s not more common

[-] Glytch@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 year ago

I'm just happy there're options.

At least I know I followed the prompt correctly

[-] helmet91@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

What do you mean? I once tried to ride a bike with inverted steering. It sucks. I couldn't stay on longer than 2 seconds. Most people can't, although there are few who have managed to learn it.

After all, your comment matches the post.
