I remember Team Fortress 2 has a console command where you could set your voice gain stupidly high and blow out people's ears by just being in voice chat.

THINK FAST CHUCKLENUTS !

Flashbang but loud (yes i know real flashbangs literally explode, but still)

[-] Hyggyldy@sffa.community 53 points 1 year ago

I have ear damage because games love to release nuclear bomb levels of sound when they boot for the first time.

[-] zaphodb2002@sh.itjust.works 25 points 1 year ago

Seriously, this should be illegal. Every game blasts you with full volume and no way to turn it down until later. Then the reasonable setting is like 10%. I'm in the habit of taking my headphones off when I start a new game.

[-] ProjectPatatoe@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

I don't understand this. Why do people complain about this? turn your master volume down?

[-] Hyggyldy@sffa.community 2 points 1 year ago

If you expect me to remember things you're gonna have a bad time. And probably so am I.

[-] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 42 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I have damage because an idiot scream-talked directly into my ear at a loud music event. It wasn't even worth it :(

[-] ThrowawayPermanente@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 year ago

Went shooting with rednecks once. Fun at the time but maybe not a great idea in hindsight.

[-] camelbeard@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Loved fireworks as a kid, didn't even knew the ringing in your ears after a loud bang was bad

[-] zorrothefox2001@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

the bell at max volume into iems = the big ouchy

I attended a Mötörhead concert…

We are not the same.

[+] 0x4E4F@infosec.pub -30 points 1 year ago

Actually, I went to a Yoko concert once... my gf bought the tickets, don't look at me like that, all wanted was p*ssy 😭.

[-] gentooer@programming.dev 43 points 1 year ago

You are on the internet, you can say pussy here

[-] camelbeard@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I think on the internet now you say earussy or something like that, something wikipedia

[-] gentooer@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

Kids these days

[-] 0x4E4F@infosec.pub 1 points 1 year ago

Old habbits die hard 😁.

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I think they are too much of one to do that.

[-] Diprount_Tomato@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

Even more pathetic.

[+] 0x4E4F@infosec.pub -17 points 1 year ago

And I didn't get p*ssy in the end either 😔.

[-] Chariotwheel@kbin.social 38 points 1 year ago

Maybe she wanted someone who isn't scared to write pussy or just use a term they are comfortable to use.

Either commit to writing the crude word or just don't use it.

[-] Classy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Whoa there you're being really aggressive right now, no need to be just a j*rk!!

[-] ricdeh@lemmy.world -4 points 1 year ago

Whoa so much toxicity, what's going on here?

[-] Chariotwheel@kbin.social 25 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I am jusy puzzled about the use of "p*ssy". Either write "pussy" or don't use the word at all of you too ashamed to write it in full.

Using an asterisk is neither here nor there, wouldn't you say?

[+] MotoAsh@lemmy.world -9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

A lot of us do it out of habit from commenting on stupid corporate sites that will shadow-hide "rude" or "vulgar" comments. Self -censoring on those platforms makes absolutely perfect sense, because it can be the difference between ACTUALLY posting a comment, and posting a comment that's instantly flagged for review and hidden.

Then you fucking ding-dongs come on Lemmy going, "WhY wOuLd AnYOnE dO tHaT?!" and vote them in to oblivion... Fucking losers voting something down just because you don't understand. THAT is truly the pathetic behavior on display here.

[-] Pyroglyph@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

There's an argument to be made here that you shouldn't be using vulgar language when you know it'll be flagged. Just rephrase what you were saying. And if you feel you need to be vulgar in a place where it's not welcomed, it's probably not worth saying anyway.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yoko - source of argument and contention for over four decades.

[-] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Nah, tacit denials of speech is not something we should accept. Arbitrary reasons should not be defended. Swearing is not something generally bad. Why are you even on Lemmy if you're OK with corporations controlling speech?

It's amazing. So many people on Lemmy, and still so many defending the exact practices that make Lemmy attractive since Lemmy don't do that...

[-] Pyroglyph@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

If you wish to speak freely then do so. Don't censor yourself. Say what you want to say either with vulgarity or without. Don't pussyfoot around it by removing letters. Have some self-respect and either commit to saying it or rephrase.

[-] 0x4E4F@infosec.pub 0 points 1 year ago

Shit... all I said was pussy 😒 😂.

[-] Chariotwheel@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I haven't downvoted anyone in this thread. You know you can check that, please blow up at someone who did.

And again, in this case, just don't use rude words in the first place.

[-] hedgehog@ttrpg.network 2 points 1 year ago

Comments saying “You don’t have to self-censor here” and downvotes when you do so are a signal. If the downvotes bother you, you can edit your comment. If they don’t bother you enough for you to make such a small effort, then it shouldn’t matter because downvotes don’t do anything - they don’t reduce visibility to your comment and Lemmy doesn’t have a karma system.

If someone else who would’ve done the same thing sees the downvotes and the comments chiding you, then optimally they’ll realize they shouldn’t do the same thing in the future.

Which part of this do you think is a problem?

[-] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The promotion of assuming motivation is the problem. The judgement for a benign action is the problem.

If you say, "downvoting is benign" then I say: Pay attention to first offense. Responding negatively to negative stimulus is INFINITELY more justifiable than spontaneously creating negativity, like judging someone harshly for simply using an * instead of a normal character.

You should not be more angry at the person angrily defending someone from judgemental dumbasses than the judgemental dumbasses, unless you yourself are a judgemental dumbass.

Don't be the prick defending hateful behavior just because you'd do it too. That's, "it's just a prank, bro!" levels of being an uncaring piece of shit.
