Jon Bois: every single video game should allow you to honk the horn by pressing down the thumb stick or hitting space bar or something, even if it doesn't do anything. if elden ring's too hard you can get pissed off and honk the horn. your civ isn't researching cartography fast enough? slam that sucker

KEEP HONKING I'M SETTING UP A PIVOT TABLE

trying in vain to find the right synonym for "serendipitous" and just laying on that thing for half an hour

Jesus just use "kismetudinous" for all I care, just stop with the honking why don't you

also I've been looking for an antidote to the Om in my white woman yoga classes, and I think you have provided it. thanks, honky

This is a bumper sticker we need

Ryan which mods are you running in your spreadsheet these days, this sounds fun

@markpopham.bsky.social bumper sticker contender

using it in madden to break a receivers concentration

Old and Busted: Strong Arm New Hotness: Strong Horn

the swear button in 50 cent blood on the sand was so ahead of its time

need way more superfluous keys in games that do nothing gameplay-wise. add a meow button to the next zelda

We've had Dogboy Link, now it's time for his Catboy era

The only exception to this should be Untitled Goose Game.

I loved that in gta v you can honk at people to entice them into violence.

Because nothing says "I'm a mature, well-adjusted adult" like angrily honking at medieval knights and ancient civilizations for not moving fast enough. Honk if you love emotional coping mechanisms!

Mature well adjusted adults? Sounds fake

🤣

In the train sections of The Polar Express for GBA, we asked the programmer to map the whistle sound effect used in other areas to R so you could whistle while driving the train

someone completed that wonder before me? HONK HONK MOTHERFORKER.

And they should all play La Cucaracha

More racing games need the Stunt Race FX horn that also makes your car jump off its wheels.

As a developer I’m interested in a “frustrated” button that feeds back info allowing devs to see precisely where the most frustrating parts of the game are

Very seriously considering proposing this

Doooo itttt. Thats not even one of my good ideas.

Honking the horn in Twisted Metal for PS1 was one of the most underrated features…

Why limit it to video games. Put a honk key on every keyboard. Slow download honk honk. Let’s get going.

platform level horn honking support. let’s go

honk if you're user interfacing

I really appreciate how Cult of the Lamb has a button set specifically to bleat. It doesn't do anything, but it's still delightful to go "baah"

space bar should do that by default for all computer uses, you should have to hold down the Fn button to make it type a space

I'm gonna need a horn for all the long-ass JRPG dialogue chains where they make you sit and watch

at the very least you should be able to make Torrent go bleat bleat or something

The original GTA and GTA2 had a dedicated button for farting and burping, which is sorely missing from modern titles.

Hitting the horn should also make you jump at the same time.

Witcher 3 you can whistle. It’s to call your horse but also… you can use it in other ways

traffic all snarled up in Cities Skylines? HONK HONK

Best take I've seen in awhile

Ugh. People these days don't understand how hard it is to make a video game. You can't just willy nilly add horns to everything. That's like at least 10 hours of dev time!

oh god an NPC in a doorway. i just… HOOOOOONNNNKKKKHH!🤬

✅️ NEEDZ

I should also be able to unlock a la cucaracha horn sound

I believe strongly in the explosion button: if you are in a dull space, push the button, get fireworks.

This makes way too much sense for my brain and I hate that it does. *honks away to calm down*

Horny on Main

My uncle works at the GTA VI factory and he said you’ll be able to honk whether you’re in a car or not

I hate the horn honking playing video games, can't stop down pressure in hard left turns😂

That's a great idea,it's better than rage quitting. I can't remember the game but I rage quit and the next time I loaded it up they gave me a trophy for the rage quit.

WHY HAVEN’T THEY HIRED YOU?!

This is perhaps the best bit of writing you have produced since the halcyon days of Progressive Boink.

Logistics question, do you believe that the horn button in multiplayer games should be audible to your opponents like a mario party taunt or no?
