So this is less a console/PC culture clash, and more a Western/Eastern culture clash.
But why would that be a button you want? I want to take that function and rebind it to absolutely nothing.
You've got a fucking problem with your port if it is WORSE THAN DEADLY PREMONITION'S
They need an abort button for when someone walks in on them fucking an anime girl in their game.
Something something the sort of PC games you get in Japan.
The daily is FRACT OSC, which I have heard is good, and have also heard it's best to go into it with as little knowledge as possible.

It has become ingrained now.
I actually would have expected enter . . .
Yep.
I mean, I have no idea what you're talking about . . .
Because, yeah, I always look at my desktop with my pants down. I mean, just look at how those icons are organized. It's a thing of fucking beauty, and needs to be treated as such.
Hey Vasquez, you ever been mistaken for a man?
No...have you?
Is... is this based on the Boot Hill western RPG from the 70s that Gary Gygax (et al.) made? Because if so... /squeeeee
Of course you could just tab out and force close it, but who has time for that? :P

That's why I leave this up before starting one of those games/videos:
"What, this? Oh, I was just practicing. This stuff's so COMPLICATED!"
Why? Your hands are nowhere near the enter key in any modern PC control setup. Escape is at a nice spot where it's not close enough to WASD to accidentally hit it but it's just a short jaunt away if you need to pause quickly (like if your phone is ringing or the cat just broke something or whatever).
Specifically for console ports, and based on button labels, Enter is the best analog for Start (which should have been relabled "menu" years ago).

Been waiting to hear more on this one for awhile. PLEASE GOD LET IT BE GOOD.
Let me tell you about TPS reports.
hmm, them TPS reports.
Left-hander. My movement is usually with the arrow keys not WASD, if I am using a keyboard at all as I am using my left hand to control the mouse.
I prefer to use a controller, even if that means using a game profiler program. But if the game is something mouse-based, like a 4X game, I usually use the on-screen options menu button instead of a keyboard one. The keyboard is usually used for typing and not much else.
I give the Sega Master System props for getting this right nearly 30 fucking years ago by labelling the button Pause.
Of course, it put it on the console, not the controller, but meh, details.

That's like three button presses
if i'm doing that much work i may as well clean
From a purely theoretical perspective, if you don't know how to play a porn game with pants on, I'm not sure you're doing it right. Probably fully undone in the front, but still pants on.
Ah, yeah, make sense if you're a lefty. I do find it a bit strange that you prefer controller, since I quite enjoyed the jump to the keyboard and mouse when I switched to PC gaming about a year ago, but that's just a personal preference thing. Dual sticks just feel so clumsy to me when compared to the mouse.
I'm an ESDF left-hander too.
I totally understand that, but the left stick feels so much more elegant to me than WASD or any equivalent.

Well, to be fair, as I mentioned before 95-97% of my gaming since the Atari 2600 has been console based. So always an abstract controller of some kind. Thus the Mouse makes more sense to me than the keyboard.
Hell, the Wii controller with Nunchuck feels more intuitive to me than KBAM, and that shit is honestly esoteric in most simple platform games . . .
I was encouraged in my handedness from a very young age; lefty scissors and the whole shebang. So I've never really had to force myself out of using my left hand. Thus, I am so hardwired left that I have 0% or less accuracy using a mouse in my right hand.

Just curious.

I was left to do what I wanted as well. It just turned out that for some things I preferred my dominant hand, like throwing or any kind of fine control, and other things I preferred my right, such as using a mouse. Mostly using a mouse.
