How do I get used to using a mouse and keyboard instead of a controller? (lemmy.world)

Is there some sort of secret? No matter what sensitivity my mouse is set to I seem to get stuck when turning. On a controller I can turn completely in a circle, but not with a mouse unless i'm missing something. I'm willing to accept that I might be an idiot. But seriously how to people do it? It just feels so unatural. Sorry if this is a dumb question, because I think it's a dumb question too.

When I moved from Canada to the UK, my now wife and I had our very first actual fight. She didn't understand why I wasn't willing to give away or sell off my game collection. I have NES, SNES, N64, OG Xbox, 360, PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP, Vita, GB-DMG, GBC, GBA, DS and 3DS. With a load of games for each one. It was when she was helping do research on reasonable value for all of them for insurance to ship it all she finally got why I wasn't willing to sell it and try and rebuild the collection over here.

Yeah, a lot of people don't seem to understand just how valuable our retro game collection can be. A lot of people think it's just about holding onto the past, but it's more than that. Not to mention the fact that the games you really loved for the consoles you really loved can hold very deep sentimental value that you shouldn't be forced to give up.
