I used to get a bunch of grief from my friends about being a look-inverted sort of person. I got the last laugh when I rented a front-loader for a landscaping project and they all wanted to drive it but nobody but me could be efficient with it because stick-back=scoop-up was the only option.

I don't know why we felt like a landscaping tool made look inversion legitimate where everything else was I-will-die-on-this-hill indignance, but it did.

That sounds like you're visualizing the lever being on your side of a pivot point, so when you push it down the other side goes up. Feels natural enough to me!

If the lever is on your side of the pivot point, you'd have to invert both horizontal and vertical axes. I don't have any data, but I certainly don't know anyone who plays with both axes inverted (in first person games).

I sometimes do if the camera is far enough back that I feel like I'm controlling it as it zooms around the character's head. Maybe that makes it not first person, idk.

Usually its just Y-inverted for me though.

		> as it zooms around the character's head. This is a third-person camera. First-person is strictly seeing from the character's eyes.

looking left or right is a rotation not a pivot.

It feels especially right once the bucket contacts the ground. Pushing forward on the stick is then a bit like doing a push-up.

I was on a pretty steep hill also, so sometimes forward literally was down.
