I used to have the FF7 battle music as my ring tone. Because phone calls were random encounters. Certain ones got the boss battle music instead.

Hearing that randomly in public from someone else's phone would have made me excited to see a kindred spirit. Closest I ever did see was someone using the victory music, but that would have been more appropriate as a hang up tone.

I should do that again. It's funny because I think it was moving to a new phone and not wanting to figure out how to set custom ring tones that made me put it off until I forgot it, even though the phone that had it was a flip phone that I had to use a special connector to even hook it up to my PC and had to find a program to encode the song in the arcane format used by dumb phones and the phone that replaced it probably just needed me to drop the songs into the right folder or find out how to browse the file system when setting ring tone.

Edit: Just checked, out of curiosity.

On my graphene os phone, they have a list of ring tones it comes with and at the bottom of the list is a plus that opens up the file system browser.

On my Samsung phone, it's just a list. There's a plus at the top but that opens up some Samsung music app or something that I've never used. It looks like I can add songs to that by putting them in a samsung music folder, though I did have to look twice to see that and wouldn't be surprised if it only shows approved files that came from them, knowing what Samsung is like with software.

Separate rant but the other day I looked in the bixby settings and noticed there was a button to remove it entirely, so I did so, thinking I might finally get full control of that button. Nope, even less control now, it just launches a "install Bixby" screen instead of letting me set some other action for some of the presses (as long as one of them still opens the voice assistant I don't want and never asked for).

Folks use Merzbow's Iguanodon as a regular ringtone?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

I hate when they do it in movies and the character takes so long to wake up and turn it off. I can feel my blood pressure rise the longer it goes.

Alarm sound: Sonic the Hedgehog drowning music.

Terror is already built in

We can shorten it to just the first six words.

People: if your phone makes a sound in public, you are wrong.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

could be worse. you could pick a song you like as your alarm tone, and panic when u driving listening to your ipod or spotify.

mine was NJ Legion Iced Tea by A Day to Remember

My wake up alarm is the cuckoo clock.

Sometimes I hear a real one in public and you're so right.

Especially when it is my on call helpdesk ring tone. I'll instantly pull harder thousand yard stare than Cillian Murphy on my face.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

That's exactly why I set a custom, selfrecorded ringtone as my on call ringtone. I had used a default one prior, but after a few small heart attacks, it was a no brainer.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

I actually do this with my notification sound too, but never got around to making a ringtone. Very few people call me to my personal, and I don't want to bother with the work phone since I'll just end up hating that sound no matter what it is.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 16 hours ago

Dude you are in a coma, and we try to wake you up.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago

Our on-call software apparently causes iphones to play the same sound as an earthquake alert here in Japan. Coworkers have had some literal ptsd-like experi nces and gotten shocked reactions when it goes off in public (at least by default, the sound is on).

On Android I just get some piddly 'ding' I have to set to retrigger as it won't even wake me up.

Some people don't set their phones to vibrate?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

A surprisingly large amount

[–] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago

Najgorszą rzeczą jest sytuacja, gdy rozbiłeś ekran telefonu, próbując wyłączyć alarm, a teraz nie ma żadnej metody na wyłączenie alarmu Wrrrr….

[–] [email protected] 1 points 14 hours ago

this doesnt happen to me, i USA cool ringtones nobody else seems to knoe exist? apparently its not common to change your ringtone.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 17 hours ago

that would be sick, we could embarrass ourselves talking about homestuck

[–] [email protected] -1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Isn't it amazing how we become so conditioned to specific sounds. Iphones have us trained like we were dogs

[–] [email protected] 3 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Wait, you can't change your alarm tone in iOS?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 hours ago

Yeah, of course you can.

I use this for mine since it starts quiet and ramps up. If I'm awake it's not startling, if I'm asleep it'll wake me when the woman starts singing.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 13 hours ago

But you don't want to change your tones. Most people have separate ones for each type of set alert. Let's you know what the alert is without looking
