      A mouse? For shooters?!?

      I definitely still played Quake with keyboard only and having it automatically look up or down on ramps.

      I think during playing Jedi Knight I started using the mouse and having the revolutionary idea of using the numpad for movement and the surrounding keys for important Force powers. Because that was so much better than using the arrow keys.

      No idea when I switched to WASD.

      Ya. The controller people on their little boxes do not understand.
      Like, I could plug a controller into my PC … but WHY?

        One day when you’re an adult, you’ll look back at the childish patronising insults you threw at millions of women, men and children, none of whom you know or have any right to judge, in order to feel a sense of smug superiority for a few moments on the Internet.

          If adulthood hasn’t happened yet, it’s not likely. I broke enough Atari controllers to have paid my dues. Fixed em with superglue and tape. But, you know. I was twelve. Then I got older and purchased big boy toys.

          You ought to consider shorter sentences. And drop some of the formalisms. That works better for today’s audiences.

              One would hope. Unfortunately, its not true.
              But don’t get involved in two old people bitching at each other. No profit there, friend.
