    The Wilhelm scream playing on the Steam Big Picture mode home screen a small percentage of the times you drop the controller seems like a harmless feature, especially since it didn’t take adding any parts that weren’t already being used for things players actually want

      do players also want their controller to “play tunes”, because I haven’t seen the DualSense users giving a fuck about such a thing.

            Weird your opinion is based on what others think and not your experience.

            You don’t seem at all unhinged, so I guess I’ll trust your word art face value.

                  you find weird that my opinion isn’t based only on my personal taste?

                  wow…

        That’s not an official feature, just a third party project that uses the vibration motors to play music. Sometimes people do things just for the sake of entertainment. The way you write suggests you are a bot or rage baiting, so I can understand why you may not know about basic human emotions

          “he doesn’t like what we like, must be a bot”

          anyway, the scream is an official “feature” and, as an intelligent being, I am less entertained by it than I am by using the controller as a controller while playing games.

          you do you though.

            First, it’s not that you dislike something that makes you a bot, it’s that you are so unreasonably angry about an easter egg.

            Second, it’s not that you dislike something that makes you a rage baiter, it’s that your arguments don’t make sense. You are less entertained by a scream than using the controller as a controller? So is everyone. No one is saying this is the most fun or best feature of the controller, so you aren’t actually saying anything that goes against the people that like the scream.

            “They got mad because I think it’s a ridiculous feature” Actually, I’m not mad about that. I also think it’s a ridiculous feature. There’s no argument there either.

            If you don’t like the scream, that’s okay. I know it’s not for everyone, and many people won’t even hear it. But to say that steam is pushing this as an advertisement for the controller is misleading. To say that they should have just focused on making the controller a good controller is misleading. I have the controller. It’s a great controller. It has more features than other controllers, and those features were executed well. I bought it before anyone posted anything about the scream.

            You say you use a dual shock controller. That has a speaker on it. If unnecessary features make you this irrationally angry, I’m shocked that you would prefer a controller that they had to add in a whole extra physical component to the controller just to give it a pointless feature, over a controller with an easter egg using the hardware that already contributes to the actual experience of using the controller.

            Except you don’t care. About either of these things. At least not to the extent that you are putting on. You are just trying to make people upset as a ragebaiter, or trying to spread unnecessary discourse about a product as a bot.

              you are completely brain dead if you think I’ll read this wall of text.

                Why bother starting discussions on the internet if you’re just going to bow out as soon as you’re called on your shit? That’s not how rage bait is supposed to work, I thought you were good at this

            Who exactly are you arguing against then? I haven’t seen anyone even suggest that they disagree with what you just said

              well they obviously can’t, they just got mad because I think it’s a ridiculous feature.

              meanwhile I am enjoying this weird situation, which also made me realize what kind of fanbase Valve has.

                  you are so fascinated that you felt called out here, even though I didn’t.

                  funny.
