Let's take a moment to remember the time period when everyone had to adjust to using dual-joysticks on controllers. (media.piefed.world)

I came up on pads for everything, and still do it for stuff like the Arkhams, Silksong, and various forms of platformer, but FPS? Once you've mouse aimed, the joypad just feels clunky.

KB&M with Arkham games was my jam! Now that I'm better with a controller, I can see why people like it.
