Has anyone else had the experience of going back to a game you haven't played in a long time and some lower level part of your brain just remembers all the controls? Like when you try and remember which key does what, you can't, but then you start playing and your brain just does the thing.

I'm the opposite of this picture. It's like I have to relearn the game each time and fluid play takes a long time to return.

Funnily enough my muscle memory persists to some degree though. So for instance if a particularly tough enemy is charging me I might push a specific key without actually knowing what it does. Afterwards I have to reason and rediscover what I was trying to accomplish and bind that action to the key I pressed.
