Because it was posted about on GitHub I am posting here too:
- This is a bad change.
- Some people think farts happen too often, in a game where we have a literal, dedicated fart button. Of all the keyboard keys that we have available, one of them is, by default, fart
Every other knob or dial could be adjusted without changing the cooldown -- either by tweaking the actual amounts of gas created, the benefits/drawbacks from certain buffs, etc. -- but at its core, every single argument for this PR has boiled down to "but farts happen too often and the audio is spammy"
The only thing I have to say on this front is get over it. Farts happen and they are a natural atmosphere of this game. "But I can't hear important station details like shots or screams or other noises": good, because that constant background noise is the aural equivalent of graytiders doing low-grade crime: it's there to be a funny distraction.
This is very much the start of a slippery slope by admission. First the farts, next burps, then whatever other noises you can make.
