I'm an autismo who can't control the volume of her voice or even tell when she's yelling, so this might actaully be useful

These should be mandatory for all men to wear in public.
Some Lemmy users might benefit from putting these on their hands, too
Why not using a throat mic? They are cheaper.
Voice damping is the main feature of the device, not the microphone.
With a throat mic you can talk without making a sound (if you train).
How? Can you whisper in a throat mic? (Genuine question)
They say you can. It works with the vibration of the throat, not the voice.
Huh, that's really neat!
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.
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.
My Teammates:
"Wtf is that sound?!"
"Kolanaki put oats in his gamer muzzle again..."
Me: munches on oats
Man, I hadn't ever noticed the "i" in your name. That changes things
Does the ℹ️ emoji not work for some people or is the i in that box just hard to read? 🤔 You're not the first to think my name was just "Kolanak."
It is readable and it shows for me correctly. I just didn't pay attention to it and thought it's like an information icon that's not specifically part of your name
who needs asmr when you can call kolanaki

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.

I mean it could be useful in dorms and shared room situations.
Looks sweaty in there. I cant imagine the smell after a few weeks
This mask smells like poor oral hygiene
Yummy!

Just buy a gag, it makes saying a slur more difficult, saving yourself from bans
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.
While silly looking, this is a great idea.
This product is DOA... No RGB

Your chance to sound like Kenny to everyone around you.
that would actually be usefull for me damn. I make inhuman noises when gaming with friends
I guess I'm fucking strange because I tend to game in complete silence.
Okay jokes aside this is actually kind of a great idea
Combine it with the semi-adjustable GAMER wrist-proximity-fixation devices (also available in plush) as well as the the GAMER lumination-induced eye strain block face-covering mask device for best results.
Mmm, now we can get the full meatiness of choke-burping and mucus snorting! Downright sensual!
