I recently learned about gyro-aiming. Leaning does help, since about 2015.
I do a lot of gyro aiming on my controller. Do only need certain parts of my body for that, not the whole.
The L in Luigi’s hat? Stands for ‘lean’.
He’s on that lean? Might explain some of his behavior of late.

When I first got my N64, my brother and I literally couldn’t play Mario Kart without tilting the controller.

He claimed that mimicking the motions of Kirby made the attack do more damage.
I still do this when I’m fully engaged with a game. I just laugh at dipshits who say something like this and say ‘You just wish you could immerse yourself in the game as much as I do’.
I’m still convinced I can climb higher ledges ingame when i look slightly upwards irl.
Ducking also makes me harder to hit for sure.

Gyro exists, but goddamn I love this drawing style!
Is this the comic that had the raccoon saying something like “I’m rabid for titties”?
I remember people doing that way back in the NES era playing DuckTales.
Getting big Regular Show vibes from this, haha
