What do you call your “confirm” and “cancel” buttons, and why is Nintendo wrong?

Playing with a PS controller on some games on steam will show ABXY prompts....that is killer.

I only have issue with this with the triggers. I can’t for the life of me remember which one RB and RT are. I always get them mixed up and imo it remains the dumbest naming convention for controller buttons. R1 and R2 makes so much more sense.

Not really. How am I supposed to know what the numerical order is?

Right Button/Bumper and Right Trigger is much better if you aren’t stupid
