  • I think the real answer was actually Japanese reading right to left, and applying that to alphabet buttons. What I find more interesting is the insistence that A must be the Accept button and B the back button; Nintendo games and OG Japanese games in general tend to use that layout, including PlayStation X and O (which to be fair makes even more sense for no/yes). US games afterwards flipped out, even for PlayStation games.

    Really, Microsoft changing that up is genuinely evil to anyone already gaming, although I believe Sega also was left to right, but their three/six button layout doesn’t count. Not sure how they handled accept/back though.




  • Oh, no no, I think I mixed up my roman movies. Looking it up, Gladiator is a way better movie than what I was thinking. WTF was the movie I’m thinking of… Something from around that era. I remember the father never being around and like, Brentwood level rich.

    (Note I clearly didn’t see the movie, it was popular enough but I was an anime nerd at the time and rarely watched mainstream stuff).
