This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I will die defending kb/m superiority over controllers, mostly because most strategy games are not made with controllers in mind at all. Also because I hate having to wait for a camera to pan around when I can do a ~~very inaccurate~~ 180º in a fraction of a second

You don't have to defend or attack any of them. Different use cases fit different devices.

Best example is GTA V. A lot of people using kb/m for the running and shooting, and the controller for driving and flying.

Do people switch controls mid game?

[–] donuts@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, just have a controller plugged in and you can pick it up the moment you step into a car or a plane. It being so seamless helps for that game. Not all games support this though

I know it's technically possible, but I didn't think people would put down their controller and kbm, or move their hands from their kbm to pick up their controller!

But then, I can imagine it plays so much better.
