    At the end of the day they’re just glyphs though. Maybe letters in a clockwise alphabetical order is the most intuitive for someone who has never used a controller before, but I’ve never seen anyone complain about the PS buttons layout after the initial “where the fuck is triangle” phase… except for that Japanese standard where X is “cancel” and O is “confirm”… because they deviate from what we are used to (and actually mimick the Nintendo layout regarding A and B placement, interestingly enough)


  • It’s only wrong because the Xbox controller is more ubiquitous than Nintendo’s controllers and thus became the new standard. As someone who also grew up on Nintendo consoles, I remember it took me a while to adapt to it, but since I shifted towards PC gaming it became my new standard too









  • Personally, Veritasium is out of that list for me due to some of his more recent videos. He still has some good content but I really disliked that “rods from God” video where it feels like he’s basically doing the same thing as the “How Ridiculous” guys and trying to disguise it as science communication. And the (admittedly few) ones where he’s basically disguising advertising as his regular content.

    I nominate BobbyBroccoli to take his spot.
