Great bit, but honestly criminal they didn't use the portal turret scream.

  1. make a controller that screams when it's thrown

  2. people throw the controller on purpose and it breaks

  3. they buy another controller

  4. profit

Only read the headline, but can confirm: I just yeeted it across the room onto my bed and it let out a wilhelm scream

Just tried it out and showed it to family. We are literally flabbergasted. :D

For some reason it's only happened once though. Maybe valve doesn't want people to go crazy and break something with this Easter egg 🤔

[–] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 2 points 12 hours ago

I've managed to do it more than once. Someone somewhere mentioned there is a possible cooldown, so you have to wait a few seconds before it screams again.

Good to know, but that does not look safe 🙈

Yeah, I'm definitely not confirming it with my controller.
