I bet you hate floppotron too
for people like me who have never heard of it:
no, I definitely do not hate such a cool thing.
So why are you against the steam controller making sounds? It doesn't have a speaker, the noises it makes are from the haptic feedback. It's the same principle
lol
because it's a fucking controller maybe?
Why does that matter?
because, you know, it's a controller.
The cool thing that you don't hate, up above, is a bunch of floppy drives and flatbed scanners. They also aren't supposed to make tunes, but they do, and it's cool.
the floppotron is a musical instrument, not a controller.
The Steam Controller is a musical instrument, not a controller.
at best it is a speaker, like the DualSense, but in reality they are just controllers with a useless feature.
The Steam Controller doesn’t have any speakers.
sound is made of vibrations.
a speaker makes the air vibrate.
this is closer to a speaker than it is to a floppotron.
The Floppotron is not a musical instrument, it’s a Steam Controller.
you wish
You wishn’t
oh no, cringe...
The Cringe isn’t a Steam instrument, it’s a musical Controller.
meh... you tried too hard here.
Meh isn’t a cringe it’s a instrument it’s a controller it’s a instrument controller cringe meh.
nope, completely overdone here. needs some kind of refreshing.
So?
see above.
