    ‘please, Internet, tell me how to turn my game controller into a vibrator’

    Kids these days… Back in my day, we just turned on FF8 and spammed summons

    • Speculater@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Oh God, I literally quit the game because the summons were so absurd. I feel I spent more time watching the same animations than I did playing the game.

        I imagine that’s a design consideration.- same with Ultima and other big spells. You get a big payoff after a big wind-up. It’s trying to telegraph that if you want speed you should build your party differently using junctions

        At least there was button tapping to power up so there was SOMETHING to do during the forever animations

        I was obsessed with that game when it came out. Just played it again, and it’s actually pretty bad. Even without using summons at all, and with emulator fast-forward on most of the time, it’s almost unbearably slow and tedious.

      You missed out on the tomb raider demo disc that came with PlayStation magazine (probably issue 73 based on the fact I have it and I wasn’t subscribed very long while demo discs were a thing) Same era.

      If you went for a swim in the pool, and swam into the side, you’d not only get a constant intense vibration, you’d also get to see her swimming motion, and I don’t think it had breath mechanics yet (or at least she wouldn’t die in the demo zone), so you could take your time. Win win.

      There was also a vibration test in the menu if you just wanted no frills.

    So this brings up a funny story.

    IDK when, but I was on a trip, thinking about my ex wife(then girlfriend at the time) with my parents somewhere and they had these vibrating back massager things. Usually they’re like 4 wooden balls on sticks attached to a wooden handle. I knew how much my ex loved it. Anyway I thought “dude fucking brilliant” and I bought it for her and my parents were like: “Uh, ok? You sure she’s going to like that?” “I’m like are you kidding me? The number of times I have to get sore hands from giving her a back massage is incredible!” Oh, I’m like 15 at the time.

    Well, I gift it to her, and with the smallest hint of embarrassment says she absolutely loves. That night she thanks me again, saying it made things so much easier, in kind of a flirty tone. I completely miss all social cues always so this didn’t register. Sometime later I come over and she wants one of the back rubs, and I’m like “hey, grab that tool I got!”

    She responds with “I’m not in the mood for that, besides it’s out of batteries.”

    I thought I was going to fold into myself. “How many back rubs have you given yourself?” “Oh, like none. Just the fun stuff.” The heaviest levels of cringe hit, knowing how many people saw me buying this for my girlfriend completely oblivious to what it would be used for.

    They don’t do that because the controller chip will cancel vibration after a while. The reason for that is exactly what you would imagine people used it for.

      The reason for that is exactly what you would imagine people used it for.

      That does not make absolutely any sense at all. Why would they care about what people in private use controllers for? Why would they care enough to actively program something preventing that?

      source

        It’s Sony, a Japanese company.

        Why would they care about what people in private

        Lol. Lmao, even.

        Sony cares a bit too much about how people use the things they own that Sony made.

        Japan is famous for its laws and customs regarding nudity, sex, porn, accessories, etc… Anything you might expect a stereotypical prude to clutch their pearls over, really. It’s simply gasp too obscene!

      Didn’t know that. I would have guessed the reason is to save battery or stop annoying people when it isn’t in reach / you can’t turn it off.

      source
    • jaaake@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      How long is “a while?” I added this to a game but never tested it beyond a few minutes. The player can toggle it on or off, it is intended to stay on until toggled off as I did not add a timer to it.

      Also, if there is a restriction at the firmware level, I suspect the reasoning would be as more of a safety measure to prevent excessive motor wear or battery drain.

    Sony should sell their own vibrators. Like a DS5, but everything cut off except for the grip to hold the vibration motor and the Dpad to adjust the settings.

      My initial Google search with Gemini says neither Sony nor their subsidiaries produce adult novelty vibrators.

      However, I would be willing to bet money the same vibrating motors in their controllers are in a vibrator somewhere without knowing more details about how that tech is sourced. I could be wrong but I like to think somewhere someone is using the same vibrator to rub one out as the one in a PS5 controller.

    To be fair, having recently been on the market for a proper vibrating sex toy, they’re expensive as fuck, and according to my ex-wife (ow. ex- still stings.) capable of providing mind-blowing orgasms. So yeah, for those without a budget, we make do with what we got, or the bargain bin at Good Vibes.

    TMI:

    The item in question doesn’t figure into why she’s ex- now, but the reason we were on the market for one absolutely does. I’ll be talking to an endocrinologist at the end of the year.

        No, but I’ve seen CBT play feature vibrating the rope connected to a bound knob, so a GP medical vibrator can be used in that regard.

        In my original story, the fancy vibe wasn’t for me; I’m half-ace which is probably related to psychotropic meds and low-T. Also I shoot off once in a while NP when the stars align and I have a mind to.

        A friend of mine had to vibrate the snot out of her leg as part of PT (it’s a very long and gruesome story), and for stuff like that magic-wand type vibes are great. But the new orgasmotron vibes use weird biofeedback science and fancy rhythms to get the pulse just right for people who have various kinds of sexual dysfunction.

        Some of them also relay your health issues back to the App provider to be added to your consumer profile and sold, so do use IoT security and try not to get ones that sell your info.

      They’re not more than a new fucking controller, those start around $60 in USA. I could be off, I got two Xbox controllers a few years ago to play couch games via steam, I don’t own a console.

        Controllers in 2015 were about $40 for a Playstation standard and could get up to $200 depending on the features you wanted (e.g. wireless, self charging, extended range, game domination features, etc.)

        Most people have a $10-$30 market for sex toys until they get serious about it. Kids exploring their bits don’t have any budget at all, and can only get things that pretend to be toys for kids.

        Evidently, it’s appropriate to get your tween a vibrating broomstick (or a bumble ball if you’re a California hippy parent who wants to assure your toddler grows up well-adjusted) but not a vibrating rubber duckie. I’m not fully sure why.
