A difference since childhood is now that I have actual firearms experience I instinctively try to use video game “gun” controllers the “right” way

Which is kind of ridiculous, planting my feet to shoulder this miniature zero-recoil Big Buck Hunter shotgun. It gets simply absurd where the controller doesn’t actually match to the gameplay type, playing Duck Hunt with the Zapper in Weaver stance

But you appreciate things like how arcade automatic fire gun games have kinda moved from machine pistol SMG to forward-gripped carbines that better cope with “press this button to use nuke”

(Well and also cause durable molded polymer manufacturing got competitive with stamped steel, but that kinda reflects the contemporary eclipse of the Mac-10 and Micro Uzi by the MP5 and AR platforms)
