It took me a few times dropping it onto the couch to get it to trigger, now I’m wondering what other Easter eggs are in here
I legit hate the trend of sound designers sneaking that into media. It immediately pulls me out of the story.
It’s not a trend, it’s a long-standing tradition spanning decades. It’s hilarious.
It was fine the first thirty years but now it’s no longer a fun Easter egg. So many sound engineers don’t think one bit about where they’re putting it like in the middle of emotional climax scenes where people are getting bloodied in the face of a nigh impossible uphill battle and stuff.

…sounds like you’re just getting old and cranky tbh 🤷🏻
I’m 43 and the number of things that haven’t bothered me for decades only to become a source of endless exasperation for no apparent reason in the last 5 or fewer years isn’t enormous, but it’s not zero either 🤷🏻😄
You’re ten years or so older than me. I’m just passionate about movies.
Now the actual kids on my actual lawn…

Some cranky old men get there early 🤷🏻😁

Damn, look at Richie Rich over he-ah with his own lawn! 😛
I share with anyone who brings a cold one or something for the grill
I bet this guys fun at parties
Why would you drop your controller like that in the middle of a game? Unless you play eternal darkness I guess, the only game I have ever thrown away my controller…
Okay, that’s just funny
… the first few times, but then after that…
Maybe it will help remind you not to throw your controller around!
Supposedly it only does it every 5-6 times.
How often are you dropping your controller?
i’m more clumsy than i’d care to admit. also i have cats. and once i sneezed and knocked over an entire row of schooldesks without touching them. and i have cats. probably four or five times a session if i’m using that controller?
Dropping? Never. Throwing it on the couch? Couple times, I’d probably get a chuckle.
Frankly, I think this is their way of asking nicely, “Please, take good care of this one in particular— or it’ll scream like a magic white boy jungle savior, and nobody wants that, right?” 🤔

Rule 34
Surely there would be a way to disable it altogether
“Hey Steam support uh… I was triggering the easter egg and my controller broke. Hm? Where did I drop it? From the roof.”
Also: Will it also scream if shot by a gun? 🤔
Why does a controller have a speaker in it?
The playstation controllers have a speaker. A lot of games use them for interesting things. Like in some games where you can find voice recorders, the recording will play through the controller as if your holding it.
it’s neat having the bowstrings ftht from the controller
For Wii emulation obviously
Plenty of controllers do. They can be used for multiplayer in place of a headset. Some games will also use them for non-world audio, like an audio log or a mission update. You can also use them in conjunction with haptics for communicating menu interaction. A different timbre of click for allowed vs disallowed, for example.
It doesn’t. The haptic motors which provide vibration and tactile feedback can be used to produce sound.
Doesn’t that make them speakers, technically?
Transformer can be used as a speaker, so can tesla tower. Anything vibrating can in theory afaik.
I suppose the argument could be made. It’s not their primary function though.
I wonder if they function any way similar to the mic/speaker polydirectional thing. 😅
Remember those floppy, printer, other old hardware noise music videos? Something like this one. Steam Controller works kind of in a similar way. Tiny motors are able to squeak fast enough to produce multiple waveforms that mimick sound.
haptic feedback of the touchpads can be used to produce sounds.
Read in a game review that used a PS (?) controller speaker for radio messages that this worked great for immersion
I tried to read it but the Adblock pop up prevented me
Your adblock is from Temu, get uBlock Origin its the original
I don’t see any popup with ublock origin. Anyway, inside the description, I linked the OG youtube video referenced in the article.
