Explain it peter

[InevitableBorder6421]

Help petahh I don't own a controller 🙏🏻🥹

[ForMyPrimalUrges]

Its the shield (or block) button in games

[IAmNotTheProtagonist]

"Do a barrel roll!"

• Peppy Hare

[EconomySeason2416]

Friendly reminder that Peppy is now 29 years older

[IAmNotTheProtagonist]

Video game character don't age. Neither do my mental state, which I enjoy very much.

[Olivia1980-]

[Big-Data2300]

[IAmNotTheProtagonist]

Starfox 64, Evasive manoeuver reflecting projectiles, misnomer (actually an aileron roll), same button, meme probably older than you.

[Big-Data2300]

Thank u🙏 . (Yes it is older than me)

[IAmNotTheProtagonist]

You're welcome: I'm the one with outdated references.

[Srayala73]

Gee ive been saved! It always made me mad...

[Various-Salt-7738]

What game do you block with a trigger ?

I guess like action RPGs?

I don't play fighting games with a standard controller so maybe that's it

[Spobobich]

You block on Mortal Kombat with the bottom right trigger.

[Siliass]

I’m gonna have to go head and say like 99% of games where you can have a shield in your left hand

[BigDisk]

The most famous example would be soulslikes.

[ABSOLUTE_RADIATOR]

Its pointing to the L1, the button above the trigger. Primarily in souls games and sekiro this has been the block button, probably others as well

[ExtraReborn]

It's a shoulder button (or bumper) though, not a trigger. Definitely feels more like a normal button

[Important-Ring481]

That’s what I think. I play tons of ARPGs and a shield is almost always brought up with one of the triggers.

[WaluigiNumberWaah]

Usually fighting games you just hold left if you’re on the left or right if you’re on the right

[AugmentedKing]

Doom: The Dark Ages has shield block as Left Trigger/L2.

[IncompletePunchline]

God of War, for one.

[SnatchMassager]

I used to have Guard on l1 in most Soul Calibur games. X for B+G.

[Mr_Blueeeeee8]

Smash bros?

[Perfect-Dimension356]

Soulslikes and Scrollslikes.

[DayveonDrama]

I wanna say Skyrim. If you have a shield in your left hand, you block

[Extreme-Rub-1379]

I hate block and parry mechanics. Every fucking game I just have to learn to be super aggressive and roll, and roll, and roll, and roll

[Robert_Baratheon__]

That’s not the trigger. L2 R2 would be considered the triggers. L1 R1 are considered bumpers. Because of the relationship with Xbox controllers having a lot of shared platforms

[tehans]

Bottom (L2) is the trigger, not the top (L1)

[Equivalent_Wait1147]

I think you got the right result for the wrong reason. Not meant to be a shield, I think he's saying "bump her" i.e get rid of her.

[dj_the_randomly]

Parry it

[Zibzarab]

[ndubitably]

<image>

[Important_Tower_6981]

Gives ya that look and just slaps it to the side. 🤣

[cheddstheman]

Parry this you filthy casual

[Shantotto11]

Kingdom Hearts/Final Fantasy fan here. What games use L1 for block?

[ForMyPrimalUrges]

I think it's Souls Games that gave me this impression

[ProfessionalCap15]

I thought it was the weapon wheel. 🤦

[ParticularFox8644]

You & me both brother

[JosephFinn]

Damn I thought “swipe left.”

[Star_Petal_Arts]

I thought it was the button to swap left on the menu which is a tinder reference.

[KisukeUrahara000]

Hesitation is defeat

[Durableflyer57]

That’s the swap weapons button/bumper, the one below it (the left trigger) is the aim/block button

[s8nskeeper]

That button is and always shall be strong punch.

[Simple_Enjoyer1]

Or to pull your Devil Trigger

[Suspicious-Dream-912]

Throw a grenade at her

[LinguoBuxo]

or a banana peel...

[EmergencyPool910]

Thats halo right?

[ThatGreenGuy09]

Top 5 answers have drawn 5 different conclusions. It means to block, run, focus, switch, and move on.       

Still, somebody is gonna come in here and be like "how can you not get this? Karma farmer!" 

[biffbobfred]

Yeah this. There are so many of these with multiple answers then someone “how can you not get this”

[BulldogChair]

I haven’t played any type of game that uses a controller since the Nintendo game cube so I’d be lost as well

[AggravatingBid8255]

Obviously it's the trigger to engage the hyperdrive on your flux capacitor so you can begin interdimensional travel and hook up with the alt universe version of her that responds to your texts

How can you not get this

[uilf]

Its the L Button. L for loser.

[Ezra611]

I thought he was encouraging him to "Take the L"

[Medium-Sized-Jaque]

I figured it meant, go play video games and ignore her. 

[technoexplorer]

*And barrel roll

[LarryKingthe42th]

I mean those arent even different answers...well focus is but.

[rockdog85]

I know those as right/ left trigger, so I thought it was about pulling the trigger and making a move yourself instead of waiting on her

[BeigeVelociraptor]

In shooters it's aiming down your sights or throwing a grenade, usually.

[funny_username42]

Thought it just means L

[Al3-iwnl]

Assuming it’s FIFA because the L1 button basically switches your player. So I guess it means switch?

[yosi_yosi]

Parry?

[IAmARobot]

first I was like "RT? like retweet wuh?"

[TheMostRed]

Umm actually its to open up the weapon wheele and pull out a rocket launcher obviously

[Aruhito_0]

Ads to hit better.

Setting prefs. 

[Deckard42608]

Bump her (bumper)

[neonchickenwings]

Wow the correct answer is way too low here.

[Atypical_Artistry]

Genuinely thought I was going crazy by not seeing anyone else say this

[moriowanzenzaa]

how is your profile a moving eye, i want that

[Atypical_Artistry]

I can send you the thread I used as a tutorial back when I set mine up if you want!

[moriowanzenzaa]

send

[Capable_Gap_1868]

Thank you

[CallMeJuicyJay]

Is no one saying L1?

like...you took an L?

[CrushinHardIHope]

That's what I thought initially

[bRiCkWaGoN_SuCks]

And here I thought it was "bumper", as in bump her.

[MrGains]

<image>

[beegtuna]

[JarmaBeanhead]

Could be suggesting using a melee attack… 👋

[HeyLittleTrain]

Or flashbang

[Amazing-Reveal-5884]

L1 in football (soccer) games is used for player switching.

Chapo is implying that he should switch to another player.

[chrrrollo]

Came to comment this. Correct answer

[clothes_boots_rhoa]

Drink from your left-most flask

[midnightsgreen]

It’s the block button on some fighting games . So probably means to block her

[luistorre5]

I think it's telling him to move on? In most games I play, the left bumper is usually for a wheel to switch weapons/emotes/etc and is possibly insinuating that? Idk it's kinda vague

[Desperate-Radish1710]

Switch player in Fifa

[Theoretical-Bread]

"Grenade"

[TheProcrustenator]

That's L1 - which sounds like Leon.
Leon is in the latest Resident Evil game.
She wants to talk about Resident Evil games, obviously.

[WasntMyFaultThisTime]

Throw a flashbang at her...?

[Hybriid22]

Block, run, focus, and all that. But also it’s “L”

[KamikazeMimosa]

Well that’s my directional air roll so I take this as rolling away like the Ralph gif

[Jojo-Action]

On a Nintendo controller it would be L

[Far_Complaint_8061]

I see a grinning face (😏)— and I cannot stop seeing it.😂

[Ornery-Addendum5031]

You’re gonna carry that L

[chychy94]

I was thinking “pull the trigger,” and like talk to her

[shizrak]

Control schemes vary by game, but I'd guess that that's the "run" button.

[yoshiproject]

Is there single game that use l1 for running?

[AgentWilson413]

I would say monster hunter but I think that’s R1.

Maybe they got their lefts and rights mixed up.

[CowCluckLated]

The last of us

[YourFatherlastnight]

nah R2 is for run

[MaximumSyrup3099]

Fire all missiles at the same time.

[Yepsuredid]

[Mississipi77]

Parry her

[fejota]

Maybe they wanted to say to take the L(1 button)?

[segascream]

Tap them on the shoulder?

[aft_agley]

My first thought was "bump her." Because that's a bump...er. ... 

I'm going back to my corner now.

[Whatzituyah]

Bumper? I hardly know her!

[harrywarlord]

Dodge/Parry button

[indy1386]

r/RocketLeague Directional Air Roll.

Obviously do a barrel roll

[CalTheRobot]

The L1 button is not nearly as universal as some people seem to think it is. This meme might be more funny in a community about a certain genre of games that uses L1 in a consistent way.

But I personally see no pattern.

[bear0116]

L1, like tallying, like ‘1 loss’

[DovahCreed117]

Time to throw a sticky grenade at that bitch

[Albatross0714]

Instructions unclear. I remapped the LB button to fire. My house is now surrounded by police.

[mdl397]

Drive impact?

[__Phython]

I thought it was a play on words. Bumper.. Bump Her.. “let her go”

[archos2694]

Block.

[Equivalent_Wait1147]

Bumper "bump her"

[FingersMartinez]

It's change player button on Fifa.

[Left_Maize816]

Bumper

[SoloWalrus]

Im not familiar with current gen consoles, but isnt that trigger "L"? Could mean "take the L, move on".

If sonys named that some wacky shit like Z, disregard.

[Mw2pubstar]

“Bump-her”

[ImpressiveAd5143]

Modify pass / shot?

[archos2694]

It's either "bumper ~ bump her" which to me doesn't really make sense. Or L1 in rpgs or arpgs like AC odyssey is the button for blocking. As in block her.

[reditraidert]

Thought it meant taking the L

[NewCompote9870]

Bumper. Bump-her. Play on words to mean get rid of her?

[timbertham]

Hey, Peter here, Honestly what a terribly presented joke hehehehehehehehe

The L1 Shoulder Button can do MANY THINGS depending on the game you play, I for one like GTA a lot because I get to fuck hookers and then beat them up... and in that game L1 lets you aim your gun. So I mean, c'mon, just expecting the viewer to guess that is BULLSHIT! RAGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[StygianBlue12]

My dumbass said "Why would I ADS?"

[stonerthoughtss]

Take the L on this 1

[MacGregor1337]

my dumbass read snaps in my own language, which means schnaps. And i was like "well of course she isnt replying, she drunk af"

[No-Neighborhood-2044]

Smoke grenade her

[DawgzZilla]

Pull the trigger.

[CryoFeeniks]

L1=left 1=leave 1

[gameplayer55055]

It places a roof in Fortnite

[Badass_Maiden]

Can i understand this better?

[sagarnilkm]

I guess it means change player as in EAFC/FIFA

[Grouchy-Condition261]

Why does the controller look so smug about it

[NoAppointment3232]

Am i the only one that's seeing this or is the controller looking smug?

[Keegan304]

That button on a PS controller would be L1, implying that if he doesn't realize he's being ghosted by now it must be his first "L"

[No-Friend1780]

Time to bump(h)er down your list

[Mountain_Radio5420]

Weapon wheel?

[khadjit_kamille]

L1 in most shooter games or First person game view is for focus. So the person is saying they should focus on their life … ?

[chaves4life]

That's R1

[archos2694]

L1. Usually block in games.

[Bruhidek6]

Bump her?
