This. With push to talk you either miss out all those little laughs and reactions and other tics that decorate the interaction and it's all very robotic, or you physically press to deliberately add them in which is just fricking gay. Open mic all the way.

Why do you moronS play music that everyone can hear through your mic? Who the frick owns a speaker? I listen to music with headphones and I also don't like disturbing my neighbors and people around me.
You really just blast music through speakers instead of listening to it with headphones? Never understand that shit, and especially when playing video games. I like hearing the game's sound/noise, don't know how you hear shit when you're playing games with music blasting out of your speakers.
>Zoomer sees more than 5 words >"Is dis a book?"
Dumbass.

I honestly have never mind mic spam, especially if it is funny. Even music is fine, I need to look into mic spamming on consoles. I need a way to patch sound directly from my PC into a console in case I need to talk or shitpost.
Tf2 mic spam is adorable.
If you're playing a single player mode/game I can kind of understand it, but I'm talking about like in CoD lobbies or some shit you'll usually hear some people blasting music in their room and you can hear it through their mic. I guess they don't care about hearing the game's sound or anything like that.
is your skull made out of fricking playdoh or something? a cheap piece of plastic will slightly indent your skin at best, which will fill back out after 3 days of not using headphones. you do take 3 day long breaks, don't you?
For some fricking reason headphones, no matter how light and soft they are and regardless of volume, make my ears ache horribly after about 30 minutes. Even when I was a kid it was like that.
Headphones are great if you care about music/sound quality and/or are have respect for the people around you.
Normalgays don't care about neither, sadly
-Don't wanna wear something on my head constantly when I'm on the PC
-Wanna hear stuff happening IRL
-Want to be able to get up and still hear what's going on on the PC
Also I don't live with my parents and my walls aren't paper thin. I only use headphones in Lethal Company since push-to-talk defeats the point IMO and people hear echo if I use speakers.
>-Wanna hear stuff happening IRL
This. I tried headphones, I really did. I had to keep looking behind me incase someone was behind me to strangle me or slit my throat. I kept tearing them off because I kept mistaking in game sounds with people breaking and entering. It's not worth the stress.
>-Don't wanna wear something on my head constantly when I'm on the PC
Lightweight phones exist and you can barely tell you have them on >-Wanna hear stuff happening IRL
Open back headphones exist and you can still very clearly hear what is going on outside of the headphones >-Want to be able to get up and still hear what's going on on the PC
Low Latency Wireless headphones exist and allow you to walk up to 50m away from the PC while still maintaining a sold connection
Light weight, open backed, low latency wireless headphones are only like 100$ for near-audiophile levels of quality. It's not 2006 anymore where gaming headsets are all clunky heavy monstrosities.
i was this butthole in college during my freshman year. I had a big speaker for my PC and I put "like a g6" on repeat at loud volumes, mixed with starcraft 2 sounds (this was 2010) and everyone fricking hated me.
to no one's surprise, I did not get laid that year
>not being a waste of space inconvenience to everyone else is cuck shit

Another thing they changes was that this site was known for hunting down animal abusing Black folk, but now those same subhumans are on on this site giggling and posting webms of it and calling it based.

random side note, but do people make friends on consoles anymore? I made and you hear so many stories of people making friend groups from the early halo and cod days on 360 with party chat and what not. Consoles are still by far the most popular way to play games but I never hear of people making friends, no content creator uses them really its all PC and all kind of nerd culture socialising is done on discord.
Do consoles survive solely on people playing fifa on mute and thats it?
E-friends aren't real friends, there is no replacement for in person socialization but people don't understand including Twitter and social media addicted normalgays
I made a friend in monster hunter world VC, helped him grind out some poison sacs and we chatted about other monhun games too. Was fun, i should invite him to play again soon

>that guy who had a dog constantly barking in the background >that guy who had a TV on max volume in the same room >that guy arguing with his wife like no one could hear him
I was watching this dude's videos on youtube reviewing board games, and he does it in a room with a fricking parrot. Every thirty seconds you get this bird whistle that instantly peaks the mic and then it starts babbling in baby-talk. These are like, half an hour long videos.
It's completely fricked, how could you live like that?

Works on my machine
i have been using a shitty blue singstar microphone for years now. it just lays there on my desk in front of me when i need it. no push to talk. everybody can hear me moving my mouse, the clicks, when i type and even the vibration my dusty cpu fan makes
What software or game uses “push to talk”? Every game I’ve ever played with anyone we can just hear each other the whole time in our party. Push to talk sounds like a dream because I cough so much
>holds to run

Death Stranding
I push to talk when laughing at a friend's joke but always feel autistic about doing it

Most autistic post I've read all day
An autistic person would not understand the value of social cues like those. I think that anon is just gay (very similar)

old fricks do it because they're losing their hearing
>Losing your hearing
>Put on a source of noise 6000x further away than headphones

I do it because I like singing along. If I'm playing vidya I have my headphones on or I'm playing single player, so I can't speak for those people.
If you're playing a single player mode/game I can kind of understand it, but I'm talking about like in CoD lobbies or some shit you'll usually hear some people blasting music in their room and you can hear it through their mic. I guess they don't care about hearing the game's sound or anything like that.
Who the frick uses headphones after moving out of their parents place? Do you want to permanently dent your skull?
It's cheaper to get good headphones than it is to get good speakers
is your skull made out of fricking playdoh or something? a cheap piece of plastic will slightly indent your skin at best, which will fill back out after 3 days of not using headphones. you do take 3 day long breaks, don't you?
