In both "Kirby and the Forgotten Land" and "Mario: Odyssey" there are segments where you control a vehicle (car, bullet bill) from a fixed, elevated camera angle. And the vehicles have a limited turning speed - they can't just snap to a new direction.

So I instinctively try and steer by pushing left to *turn left*. But instead, you're meant to push the direction you want to go relative to the camera and wait for it to turn to match your input. 😵

@rl_dane Unfortunately you are correct. #UserInterface Design, of course, isn't limited to #computers. There aren't too many new #vehicles these days that do *not* have a #touchscreen #infotainment #center. They are a distraction.

Same goes for #synthesizers. Many #digital #synths have gorgeous touchscreens but few #tactile #controls. Menu diving has always been an issue on these devices but it's definitely worsened. A lot of my time architecting new sounds is spend navigating an OS with my fingertips.

On the flip side, these instruments are ridiculously powerful. Multiple SoCs and running #Linux!
