Damnable thing. Not as horrible for me as playing a FPS shooter game with normal controls because that is more time sensitive. My muscle memory says pushing forward on a joystick should make the crosshairs in a sight drop. I can sort of force my way through the maze. An FPS where I have to react quickly…
“AHHHHH Nazi cyborg zombie up on the ledge with a rocket launcher!!!” Looks at my feet Looks straight up Gets confused and starts spinning around while alternating between staring at my feet and staring at the sky Dies as nausea is starting to set in
Man, I just can’t move straight. I think that my brain is automatically trying to correct for the unwanted side-to-side movement when I trying to move down, which of course means going even further to the side.
That’s the problem I kept running into. With a reasonable amount of concentration, I could keep the icon moving in the primary direction I wanted by moving the mouse in the opposite direction. But if there was any lateral movement, I’d subconsciously try to correct it and I wouldn’t be thinking about doing that in the opposite direction.
I imagine I’m flicking little bits of mass out the back of the square which forces it to move in the opposite direction. That allows me to control it grossly but I still struggle with fine and instinctive corrections.
