The cool thing that you don't hate, up above, is a bunch of floppy drives and flatbed scanners. They also aren't supposed to make tunes, but they do, and it's cool.
the floppotron is a musical instrument, not a controller.
The Steam Controller is a musical instrument, not a controller.
at best it is a speaker, like the DualSense, but in reality they are just controllers with a useless feature.
The Steam Controller doesn’t have any speakers.
sound is made of vibrations.
a speaker makes the air vibrate.
this is closer to a speaker than it is to a floppotron.
The Floppotron is not a musical instrument, it’s a Steam Controller.
you wish
You wishn’t
oh no, cringe...
The Cringe isn’t a Steam instrument, it’s a musical Controller.

Meh isn’t a cringe it’s a instrument it’s a controller it’s a instrument controller cringe meh.
