Yes. Yes, I do.
For what it’s worth, I’ve played with my buddy’s controller while he refilled the chips bowl enough to give uninverted a fair try. I play fine at it. I just don’t like it.
I learned what a joystick was from my grandpa who used it exclusively to play WWI and WWII flight simulators. Almost all of my use of a joystick before the age of 5 was on one of those games.
Today I am equally comfortable with joysticks set either way. Guess it’s just a personal preference?
Edit: maybe it’s because thumbsticks feel a bit inherently different to me because of the different grip.
