🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so. this one is so simple and honestly iconic for it. you hand it a joystick, it hands you back the number of "sticks" on that joystick. that's the whole vibe. no cap. 🦋

and bestie, quick lore drop so you're not confused later: a stick has one or more axes. so like, sticks are the big picture, axes are the little guys living inside them. keep that in mind when you go poking at the axis functions 👑
