Why not using a throat mic? They are cheaper.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 8 hours ago

I don't speak on Voice chat though, mainly because many gamers online are racist (and sexist) pigs. Back in the day I did used to use TeamSpeak to talk to others in games and they both be racist toward me, and make fun of my voice saying I sound like a girl.

So, text only from now on, if reading is too hard especially with spelling mstakes if I'm doing it quickly in game, fuck them.

I do think this could have some use for me though, particularly with private calls which I'd prefer other people to not hear the other side of, though it's still very hard to justify it since it just looks way too silly.

It took me years to find gaming buddies who aren't racist shitbags and we still have to punt the occasional edgelord who decides to get up in someone's face with that shit. Not a single one of my remaining discord communities is gaming focused, those all ended up being Superfund levels of toxic. Hobby and tech communities though? Plenty of good friends there that I play games with occasionally.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

Yeah, I do have friends who I play online games with. Though I still don't speak because I'm still very self-conscientious about my voice, and I know it's stupid, but it's just how I feel. The only people I do talk with in Voice chat or phone calls are the friends I know in real life.

While silly looking, this is a great idea.

This would make a great gag gift!

for valorant players

[-] [email protected] 37 points 17 hours ago

Im not gonna fuckin lie, I looked into buying one of these FOR WEEKS cus of my college dorm.

250 something dollars. Im good.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

250 is ridiculous, just buy a lavalier mic and put a face mask on at that point

[-] [email protected] 4 points 8 hours ago

That is way too expensive for a product like this, that also might not work for its intended use (if their nose isn't fully covered like in the picture, I'd expect the screaming to leak out quite a bit. Might've worked for my idea of using it for call privacy (speaking softly) but still that's way too much for something that'll probably only be useful for that niche use-case.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

It looks like a muzzle. I know a few folks who need this (gamer or not)

[-] [email protected] 124 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

My Teammates:

"Wtf is that sound?!"

"Kolanaki put oats in his gamer muzzle again..."

Me: munches on oats

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Man, I hadn't ever noticed the "i" in your name. That changes things

[-] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

who needs asmr when you can call kolanaki

A horse is a 🐴, of course. Unless it was Mr. Ed.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Peanut butter in the gamer muzzle won't make me talk tho.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 19 hours ago

A horse is a horse, of course, of course, And no one can talk to a horse, of course, That is, of course, unless the horse Is the famous Mister Ed!

Go right to the source and ask the horse, He'll give you the answer that you'll endorse. He's always on a steady course. Talk to Mister Ed!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

People yakkity-yak a streak and waste their time of day; but Mr. Ed will never speak unless he has something to say!

[-] [email protected] 17 points 16 hours ago

I just wish someone put serious effort into a microphone that worked with a mask so people wearing masks were easier to understand.

There are a lot of people who speak at conferences who still wear masks. I get it, even if you weren't worried about COVID, in the pre-COVID times a lot of people were out for a week after going to a conference / convention because of all the germs being passed around.

But, even with professional speakers and professional microphones, the audio just sounds muddy when the speaker is wearing a mask.

[-] [email protected] -3 points 9 hours ago

If they're up on a stage by themselves speaking, and no one is within 10 meters from them, as most public speaking scenarios are, then why the fuck are they still wearing a mask? Take it off you unprofessional fuck.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 7 hours ago

I think you may be overestimating the size of room most convention speakers address. 2m from panelist to front row of audience is normal.

[-] [email protected] 129 points 23 hours ago

And you can eat your favorite chaff at the same time!

[-] [email protected] 91 points 22 hours ago

It needs a port that you can attach your bag of caffeinated noodles to.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

I.... kinda wanna try it

[-] [email protected] 67 points 21 hours ago

You can make the most vile, cynical, brainrotting product if you advertise it to Gamers™.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

In 10 yearls you'll be slopping down on PowerNoods™, not even knowing how silly you looked here, smh.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 18 hours ago

We Gamers™ are on the cutting edge of humanity.

I mean it could be useful in dorms and shared room situations.

[-] [email protected] 39 points 20 hours ago

Is there... Is there a matching blindfold? Asking for a friend.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

i guess the equivalent for the eyes would be a vr headseat, since it makes it impossible for people outside to know what you're looking at (i think, i dont know if the pc's monitor shows what the person is seeing as i do not have a vr headset)

[-] [email protected] 49 points 19 hours ago

It also comes with a gamer buttplug and cat ears.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago

For haptic feedback and headset weight distribution, of course

[-] [email protected] 19 points 19 hours ago

Wow - grandmaster accessories already!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

bro it better come with a ballgag and chastity cage too

[-] [email protected] 28 points 21 hours ago

Just buy a gag, it makes saying a slur more difficult, saving yourself from bans

[-] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

Why do we want to save these people from bans? They need to be removed from the community, if from society altogether. Better for them to say it out loud than to think it quietly, otherwise these people will quietly ruin our lives one step at a time and we won't realize it as they're doing it.

[-] [email protected] 41 points 22 hours ago

Looks sweaty in there. I cant imagine the smell after a few weeks

[-] [email protected] 25 points 21 hours ago

This mask smells like poor oral hygiene

Yummy!

This product is DOA... No RGB

Doctors On Asteroids?

[-] [email protected] 9 points 18 hours ago

imagine not censoring the company’s name, they paid Facebook for the ad, they didn’t pay you

[-] [email protected] 31 points 23 hours ago

In case you were worried they have an accessory that will channel your farts directly to the face mask. Metadox knows what gamers want.
