Let's take a moment to remember the time period when everyone had to adjust to using dual-joysticks on controllers. (infosec.pub)

Back in my day we played Doom without any analog inputs, and strafing required a key combination so the sideway arrow keys would strafe instead of turn.

That said I did enjoy Doom the Dark Ages with my mouse earlier today, haha.

arrow keys, alt to strafe, ctrl to fire, space to interact. we made it work.
