You’re good man, I’m just poking fun

Buddy forgot the post on his way down to comment lol

lol Sure bud

How so?

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

lol You’ve now slipped into the most pitiful version of rage bait, the kind that ignores the comment you are responding to. You got me, I was wrong. You aren’t a bot, you’re a happy, successful, self-actualized person.

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.

Sure, I don’t doubt that steam pays for reviews and news coverage. But I’m going off of statements put out by the company, because if I don’t, I’d just be speculating.

it’s pretty telling of the userbase that all news you read are about this though. Explains why you all got butthurt

Again with your pointless rage bait. That’s not an actual argument, you are just telling a lie as though it’s a fact. That’s what ragebaiters do, that’s what bots do. I don’t actually consume game journalism at all, the only place I will see it is when I read a headline on Lemmy. I haven’t even read the article this post links to.

Steam hasn’t advertised this easter egg at all, but have advertised all the “proper” features. The only people mentioning this are fans and journalists, many of which have already gone over a normal review of the controller, and just like to call out a fun easter egg when they see one.

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

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

I don’t use the internet for much these days, but I am on graphine OS and I have yet to be blocked from websites due to it. My adblocker prevents me from some, and not allowing javascript prevents me from some, but I’ve never seen that QR code or had any site prompt fro Google play services

It was, I was capped at 2

very slightly, the weight difference is so miniscule I doubt it’d even look like it were wobbling, and due to other friction in the system may not even register at all.

I disagree here I think, the DS was a fun iteration on an existing console (gameboy advance xp), but the Switch spawned a new classification of console. The hybrid console has pretty much taken over casual gaming, including Steam’s Steam Deck, Microsoft’s ROG Xbox Ally, and Playstation’s Portal (PS kinda phoned it in here). While I don’t think that hybrid consoles will replace normal consoles altogether, I do think the Switch has made having a handheld variation of your console a necessity moving forward.
