i use a tng door chime for my wife, and generally that's been okay. I used to have fun sounds for other stuff, but yeah, tying stuff to work quickly makes that a sound that instigates panic.

i went through a lot of trouble to make the ringtone sounding part of Air War by Crystal Castles my ringtone. Not worth the 5 pieces of poo poo software I had to use to make it work.

I use the mgs codec ringtone, mostly because it sounds normal enough but also makes people freeze with a "wait, i know this, but where from" expression on their face

I looked up how to replace windows boot noises for my XP tower way back when and had the startup sequence instead :hellyeah:

oh, my, god. Becky, look at her bitrate.
you can replce the windows startup sound with basically anything and the pro move is to make a 30 minute track with a blood curdling scream at the end, and then set that on your coworkers computer

i read an interview with the guy who did the translation for metal gear solid, and he revealed that he translated the radio as "codec" because he had a thesaurus and was looking for an appropriate word that sounded cooler than "radio," and settled on that one without knowing what it meant. in the interview he appeared to still think it was some sort of technical term for a radio.

this makes me irritated whenever i remember it.

i feel like the real pro move would be to do a 30 minute track with intermittent unintelligible whispering starting after a few minutes

this is awesome and is so very metal gear. why? because it sounds cool

I also have the mgs codec as my text tone. I keep my phone on loud when I’m working because I will straight miss calls and texts for hours if I’m on a tough problem
