    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.
