Not ALL the time. For the most part, you use your left thumb on the left analog stick and the D-Pad, and your right thumb on the right analog stick. But, SOMETIMES, you have to keep your character moving with the left stick while at the same time switching weapons/items with the D-Pad, especially when escaping a tough situation.
Historic order. L1 and R1 (LB and RB) first appeared in the Super Nintendo ( 1991), L2 and R2 (LT and RT) made their debut in the PlayStation (1994) and L3 and R3 came out first in the PlayStation 2 (2000), I think.
I see what you did there.
My mother’s name is María, so are three of my sisters. Their middle names are different though.
One time, in my early 20s, I was hanging out with a group of friends in a packed sedan. We went to pick up a girl, who was my cousin’s friend and who I thought was cute, but we had only seen each other a few times and we had never even crossed words. Anyway, there was no more room in the car and, without a care in the world, I said she could ride on my lap. She just smiled and said okay. That got us talking and by the end of the night we were making out. We ended up dating for a few months after that.
Definitely think of them as American. I’d say the Mexican version of pancakes would be the “gorditas de nata”.
In northwest Mexico we call them “hotcakes” (pronounced “jotqueis” in Spanish). I’m not sure about the rest of the country, probably “panqueques”.
That’s what PlayStation calls them. Xbox calls them LSB and RSB (Left/Right stick button). Nintendo has no name for them, they just refer to them as “clicking the left/right stick”. Also Nintendo calls the bumpers L and R, and the triggers ZL and ZR.
