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.
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.
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
Ah, one of the lucky ones who got their controller actually shipped and in their hands already. Meanwhile tons of us stuck on “Packaged Items” for 2 weeks already, what a chaotic launch…
Yeah sorry. I accidentally refreshed the page 5 minutes early and realized the buy button was working, my serial number ends in 00067 😬. Good luck getting one!
What’s funny is, in Europe at least, the orders were not processed by time - a ton of people were complaining that they ordered theirs a couple of minutes early like you, or on time and were among the most delayed.
In my case I managed to process payment a whole hour later (after finally giving up and spamming the Continue button), so I can’t really be mad I ultimately bought one. And they finally shipped it, so there is hope for this week 🙏
I tested this out last night. It took a few tries and my wife thought I was crazy till it screamed out. 11/10 would buy again.
what ?

I was responding earnestly because I thought it was polite. That’s my mistake.
I don’t understand
Parent comment thought you were being sarcastic
ok
Did I just witness a civil way to handle a misunderstanding? That’s too much internet for today
