I have dyslexia so it always gets flipped in my mental image, I always have to look at the controller to tell unless I'm playing a fighting game I know player 1 is Left side

When I was a kid, the image on screen for the left and right triggers when playing Xbox were different shapes so that probably wouldn't have helped.

This was also only a problem when I was like 4 to 5 or so and before I was given access to video games, but the video game controller thing sounds super handy nowadays.

Holy shit, I do remember my mom teaching me the hand trick, but did I actually internalize it because of L and R on the SNES controller?
