Cursing?

Maddox · 03-20-2020, 10:42 PM

Is there a guy in my right ear cursing whenever something goes wrong for the home team or am I mis-hearing it? If so which of the sound options do I need to turn down/off.

I am not a prude and I curse myself, but when you are playing multiple back to back games it gets repetitive and kind of annoying, especially since I have the crowd turned down so I can hear my music.

Someone mentioned it during beta. I don't think anyone verified it. Can you tell which file it is?

Maddox · 03-20-2020, 11:47 PM

I took a listen to a bunch of the audio files but could not find it.

It’s the part with the seventh inning stretch. “Take me out to the b*** game”. Yeah right. I know what b***s are, mister!

Maddox · 03-21-2020, 09:22 AM

Just heard it again.

I hit a first inning three run HR off of the Cubs at Wrigley. And as Dejong crossed the plate I swear there is a voice that says G*d D*mn*t

EDIT: Just heard it again after I scored 3 more runs. Then the pitcher walked a batter and I heard it again.

Yep, this checks out.

If that is the phrase, then it's not considered cursing at all in Europe.

"Damn" is not a curse word.

Markus Heinsohn · 03-21-2020, 10:26 AM

That's cursing?

Maddox · 03-21-2020, 11:03 AM

Okay, I found the file. It is actually the very first one Ambient _CC.

If the first word is God then many will consider it cursing, especially the more religious they are.

Again, I don't really care. My main issue is that I just found it really annoying to hear it multiple times per game, which is probably amplified because I turned down the ambient crowd noise so it stands out more.

absurddoctor · 03-21-2020, 11:19 AM

Yeah, in the US 'damn' on its own is a pretty mild curse. Toss a 'god' in front and it shoots up towards the top of the list. (As mentioned, especially for evangelicals). https://www.indiewire.com/2017/08/sw...es-1201863915/

Scipio Africanus · 03-21-2020, 11:55 AM

Isn't he saying "Cotton Candy"? Hence the "CC" in the file name?

bockerboy · 03-21-2020, 12:12 PM

lol he's clearly saying "cotton candy".

micropterus58 · 03-21-2020, 12:22 PM

Sounds like cotton candy to me. Must be like Jimi Hendrix and the Purple Haze lyrics. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/mishe...rics_n_5568769

Now that you say that I am sure that is what they are saying but I am listening to it with headphones on during game play with crowd sounds turned down and still, after multiple times hearing it, I can't say that it was said "clearly".

Couple that with the timing of it after the visiting team hits a HR or Walked (which is when the sound played my last game) and it is easy to jump to conclusions.

I will let it drop here.

Actually, if you stop to think what the word literally means, then yeah, it is the very definition of cursing--to be damned is to be cursed.

MizzouRah · 03-21-2020, 12:42 PM

The one I keep hearing is the very faint "out" during plays where there is no out recorded... weird.

ForeverRoyalKC · 03-21-2020, 02:50 PM

The voices I cut from my files are the "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah" guy and the "Foul ball girl" that shouts "Yay! Woooo!" when a ball goes foul.
The "Yeah" guy has two male voices. You hear "Yeah! (unintelligible), Yeah! (unintelligible), Yeah! (unintelligible). You hear them about every two or three minutes!

Ir-ri-tat-ing!

I heard it, too. I almost fell out of my chair laughing. ��

It's not offensive.
