    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 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.
