Can't you just swap x for -x. Run some unit tests just in case. We'll push to prod next Wednesday. Sound good? Got to dash, strategy meeting started 5 minutes ago. Seeyoubye.
As a programmer, I've learned to cringe at any suggestion from someone that starts with "can't you just". Cause I guarantee you, I can't "just" do that. It's way more complicated than just.
😬 I am familiar with the PTSD trigger words.
You little shit xD
The location that the player is visually interacting with would be different, but the world wouldn't know that. Eg. in a cutscene, the player reaches out and touches a button on a control panel. If the player's X is flipped, their left hand will be further left than their right hand, and will miss the button visually as they go to press it. Asymmetrical animations might also be fucked, ie. sidestep/jump right normally extends the left leg for leverage, but now their right leg would push off visually and they would still move right.
I don't want you to come to me with problems. I want you to come with solutions. I'm going to schedule some action orientated soft skills training for you next month. There is a push to increase our education KPIs so budget is available.
Ow that one hits me right in the briefcase
Not sure whether to upvote because this is so accurate it's funny or to downvote because it's infuriating 😂
Ok, but all your dialogue will be spoken backwards.
That makes sense. All left handed people are witches anyways, they'll feel right at home
Noted. I'll talk to Jeff in FX and get all the .wav files reversed. Shouldn't add too much to storage. I wonder if lip sync will be affected? I'll mention it to Sue when she gets back next week.
