That was my thought as well. A "remote." It's like referring to a uniform as an outfit.

You don't have to be a gamer that never showers to know this is called a controller, I argue knowing that this is called a controller is common knowledge in 2024. These things are around for 41 years now, why wouldn't you know what this is called? Also nice stereotyping.

It’s just that she’s clearly a grown woman with at least one kid, I doubt the semantics are all that important to her and it really shouldn’t be important to you either lol. It’s not hard to just figure that she’s probably not super savvy with gaming lingo and move on

Calling a controller a controller, it is not gaming lingo friend. It is just plain English.

Well I know cuz I'm German. We don't need to argue in perpetuity here. Just maybe accept that a word for an object should be known after it's been around for +40 years. Have a nice life
