We’re doing important work here, you and I.
This week, it’s a question of mitts.
What’s better: left-handed FPS options or a little hand for a cursor?
CS lead Minh “Gooseman” Le is left-handed so that’s the way he animated holding guns.
And good for other lefties who found themselves seen in a way few games have to this day.
For righties, it was a different experience.
This was more than the wrong way of holding a gun, it was alienating, bizarre, confusing.
Why would anyone make a game which doesn’t reflect my own experience, the experience of the majority?
So I suppose we should also be grateful for the pranks it enabled too.
When Valve relaunchedCounter-Strike: Global OffensiveasCounter-Strike 2, lefthandedness was outright removed.
Do you not delight in the personality this hand adds?
Are you not thrilled when it’s a different hand for different factions?
And oh how its animations make you giggle!
But which is better?
But what if the hand cursor had a leftie option?
Which do you think is better, reader dear?
