The Bleep project has been living rent free in my head ever since it was announced. It is a genuinely good sounding tool, and it's also extremely funny that gamers are so horrible to each other that they've created a need in the market for it to be created. I can't wait to try it out.
It doesn't actually play a bleep, it uses AI to automatically silence voice chat when it detects someone saying something that triggers it (racism, white nationalism, slurs, name calling, harassment, some other categories). Anyway they've done some beta tests but I never got picked.
Also imagine that being your team's project. You have to find a way to filter certain words in many accents. You have to hear those words all the time as you test and retest. I can't imagine how shitty that would be.
Yeah that must be awful. Like when I learned that the people who made The Last of Us had to watch a bunch of snuff films to make the gore in that game realistic enough - perhaps some things simply shouldn't exist.

Try it out by listening presumably?
Edit: nobody enjoys hearing those loud bleeps. Gamers would use it to grief by encouraging tinnitus.

That’s actually a cool piece of technology if they ever get it to work.
