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.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 26 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 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

the bell at max volume into iems = the big ouchy

I attended a Mötörhead concert…

We are not the same.

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 😭.

You are on the internet, you can say pussy here

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] gentooer 2 points 1 year ago

Kids these days

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Old habbits die hard 😁.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Even more pathetic.

[+] [email protected] -17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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?

[+] [email protected] -9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Shit... all I said was pussy 😒 😂.

[–] [email protected] 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.
