When you drop the Steam controller it plays the Wilheim scream noise. They were trying it out repeatedly agitating their wife in trying something so senseless until it worked to her astonishment.

For anyone who gets the ridiculous 5070 overlay ad instead of actual audio (Thanks CNET, for finding really annoying ways around ad blockers), here is just a video of the sound: https://youtu.be/tw5Luf_7F8c

I was responding earnestly because I thought it was polite. That's my mistake.

Parent comment thought you were being sarcastic

Did I just witness a civil way to handle a misunderstanding? That's too much internet for today

Oh sorry, it's a common thing in my area that that's a sarcastic response. I thought you baited me.

I read it wrong. Apologies.

Anyways, I was entirely serious .. it's a weird feature to put into a controller but I get the nerd factor appeal of it. I can't confirm it first hand though, I'm waiting to get my hands on one.
