I think it's hilarious to track Nintendo's placement of the thumbsticks over the years, they pretty much go on a journey to return just about where they started. Though first there was a single stick in the middle of a 3 pronged controller, which obviously is the most bizarre looking controller they ever released, but from there, they start with 2 sticks, left raised above the D-Pad, right below the ABXY buttons, just like the same placement Xbox has always adhered to. Then the Wii Classic controllers had both thumbsticks placed below the other buttons as the PlayStations has always adhered to, and then the Wii U controllers had both thumbsticks raised, a layout no one else ever touched, arguably it might had made sense for this to be kinda Nintendo's defining layout (I honestly don't mind the Wii U pro controller placement, though I think I do still prefer the Switch's overall), and finally they returned to where they started with 2 thumbsticks, left side raised, right side lower. The only placement Nintendo hasn't tried (or anybody for that matter) is left side lowered, and right side raised (which genuinely sounds awful lol).

It's funny what the PlayStation controller is a legacy from the Nintnedo-Sony Play Station design which is heavily based on the SNES one; if you put a draw of the SNES over a first PlayStation controller one they are almost identicall on the circles, Dpad and buttons.

It becomes all the more evident when you look at the Wii Classic Controllers, those are literally just SNES controllers with 2 thumbsticks thrown on the bottom and 2 extra shoulder buttons. And then the Wii Classic Controller Pro gave that SNES controller grips and moved the second shoulder buttons behind the front ones, and the reality was staring you in the face, it's a PlayStation controller lol.

If you grew up with a Gameboy Color with an IPS screen mod, chances are you'll also grow up with Steam Deck

It's... round?

I thought it was because The King of All Cosmos is having a rainbow orgasm. Jowday was coming after him.

Maybe this will help.


Maybe it won't.

David Lynch... there's the Twin Peaks connection... as the King of all Cosmos... he destroyed the Moon and stars which set the plot of the game in motion... the Prince is rolling the katamari... which has Laura Palmer on it... the katamari kind of looks like a cup of coffee seen from above... Agent Dale Cooper likes coffee as black as midnight on a moonless night... Moonless because the Moon is missing, back to Katamari Damacy...

Nope, still lost.

I mean, I already suggested the "because it's round" option.
