!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Wow, I always have to go in and switch it to inverted, it just makes complete sense in my head (probably from years of playing X-wing as a kid) pulling back (towards me) will always be looking up!

I do the same thing everyone always tells me it’s weird to set it inverted.

I played inverted for years. I took a long break from games, started a new one at some point and didn’t think about it. I no longer play inverted.

I didn’t even know it was possible to reprogram something so ingrained in me and I did it entirely by accident.

Wow that is pretty cool. It's never left me, but I've never taken a super long break from gaming.

It was a crazy feeling when I realized it. “Oh whoa, I’m playing backwards. What?” All of my life inverting the controls was the first thing I did in shooters. The break was during my divorce. That whole thing rewired my brain any way haha.

A similar thing happened to me too. I used to play inverted before encountering a game where you couldn't invert the controls. Now, playing inverted feels weirder than non-inverted.

Same, I've always played inverted. Pretty sure it's from N64 flying games, pilot wings and such.
