  Am I a weirdo to thinks about turning my head to the left, not the back of my head to the right?

  This doesn’t seem intuitive

  This would imply the X axis has to be inverted too…

    Yep, you right. The same rules are applied.

  Its two different perspectives. One is controlling a character as if they are controlling a camera from the rear. The other is the more common, where you’re using the joystick to move the point that you’re looking at.

    Which way should the text on your screen move when you spin the mouse wheel? :P

      You spin the mouse wheel to control the scroll bar, so of course spinning the wheel towards you (down, if you align the mode with the screen), should make the scroll bar go down.

      This was, for a long time, uncontroversial. However, after touch screens became widely used, people started incorrectly assuming that the mouse wheel “moves the screen” (absolutely ludicrous), and decided that down was up and up was down, and that the sane way to scroll with a mouse wheel or touch pad was “inverted” and not “sane”/“normal”.

        Mhm, it’s all about perspective. Moving the viewport or the content. The viewport or the viewer, for first person. Ideally you should always have the option to choose.

  For me I only accept inverted camera controls for orbiting cameras that aren’t use for aiming.

    I’ve never thought about this, but yes. When I play fps games it feels natural to use non-inverted, while for games where you’re not “aiming” but “looking around” it feels more natural with inverted.

  You’re right, but somewhere along the way we all got used to the other way

  If you just imagine that the right stick is their neck you don’t need to postulate a Parasaurolophus horn

  The first time someone explained this to me and showed me how to invert controls, it changed my life and made video games more enjoyable (I’m mostly a PC gamer out of convenience but prefer a console/controller). I recently played the ff7 remake and forgot that I could invert controls and was about to quit playing until I remembered I could invert. “Standard” controls don’t make sense to me and kinda make me dizzy or seasick.

  This is so silly. Thanks for making me laugh.
