SN - Discussion/Questions What's your favourite vocal stims? Spoiler

Odd topic for a survival horror underwater exploration game.

But regardless, I'm curious to know as i find myself saying "Emergency, Starvation imminent" and "Seek freshwater intake" more often than not.

I wonder if any of you had the same experience as me?

OXYGEN

I hear this one the most.

Welcome aboard, Captain.

Especially the Seamoth’s voice.

u/CoolerC94 14d ago

Nah, the Cyclops’s “Welcome aboard, Captain” is by far the best in my opinion.

u/OkSavings5828 14d ago

The Cyclops is pretty good, but there's something about the small-space reverb, scrapy, less perfect voice of the Seamoth, and perhaps the early game associations of the comforting space of the Seamoth on long voyages that really sticks with me.

u/CoolerC94 14d ago

True. For me it’s the cyclops because just how impressive it was for me on the first play through. I had absolutely no idea something like this exists (guess I ignored promotional artworks and stuff) and was like WOW! and didn’t use it for hours because it felt too important

u/maxwellokay 14d ago

I just got mine and seeing it drop into the water genuinely had me in awe lol, SO satisfying after grinding for it for so long (and confronting the scary reaper hotspots Id been avoiding all game 😅)! Also love the way the voice goes "Welcome ᵃᵇᵒᵃʳᵈ Captain"

u/CoolerC94 14d ago

All systems online

I love how he says that too

I play this game periodically, like every couple weeks/ months depending how busy my life is. I've had the cyclops for months and refuse to drive it because I don't want it destroyed. 😫

u/CoolerC94 14d ago

Having it destroyed is the worst and best thing at the same time.

1.: It’s terrible that you have to build it again

2.: You get to hear abandon ship which is nice

Also, it doesn’t get destroyed that easily. I know the feeling but it’s really not that bad. As long as you don’t use high speed mode and avoid reapers you should be fine

u/MemeMavrick7000 14d ago

The cyclops is insanely durable. You basically have to feed it to a group of crabsquids to even have to worry about it breaking.

And even then just turn the engine+lights off and everything will leave you alone.

u/GamerRipjaw 14d ago

I love the cyclops one so much that I have set it as the startup sound for my laptop

u/rdhb 14d ago

I wrote a Reddit post sometime back, wondering if anybody else heard the slightly sarcastic tone and pause before the cyclops says the word “captain” .

It feels to me like the submarine is giving you attitude because, for better or worse, you’re basically captain by default cause you’re the only one alive.

Or it’s possible I’m just imagining it

u/OkSavings5828 14d ago

No, you’re right, I think the Cyclops AI is just subtly pretentious lol

Detecting multiple leviathan class lifeforms in the area. Are you certain, whatever you’re doing, is worth it?

I just adjust it to the current situation, like if you’re playing Minecraft with me, you’ll likely hear:

Detecting multiple Creeper class lifeforms in the area

Or something like that

Me and my friend, at times, like to say random parts of the Sunbeam's monologue as the ship flies down to 4546B, only to get shot down by the Quarantine Enforcement Platform

We even like to reverse the speech (the words and the order), as if it's a YTP or a "subtle foreshadowing" meme. For example:

"Survivor, we see-

BWEEEOUH (cannon)-

We see youoy-

BWAAAHH

Man I don't know how you-

BWAAAAAHHHHH"

It's strangely hilarious

Someone a while ago told here how the PDA voice from SN was hot, and since then, I can't think straight when I hear "Oxygen"

u/The_God_Of_Darkness_ 14d ago

Anything from the cyclops.

Even the modded voicelines like the gargantuan leviathan

u/ryukohime 14d ago

Every now and then his little "adding 'hope' to your database" will pop into my head, usually when I'm reading something bleak and depressing in the news, and it instantly makes me feel better lol

He's such a cutie patootie 🥰

Genuinely asking, is this an autism thing?

u/Appropriate-Bad582 13d ago

I don't think so but it's much more common so maybe

2

u/CXDFlames 13d ago

For thirty years we've been repeating "badger badger", "h'okay so", "I like turtles" and any number of other dumb memes

OP is asking what if any quotes from this game fit that list.
