Hearing all of the default Recursion Announcements?

But we did already discuss the possibility of playing the sound file and we weren't really fans of that. Part of the thrill of getting some of the achievements is hearing them. Being able to just click and play them over and over could take away from that

what!? i am sorry i am going to have to apologize right away, but that has to be the most ridiculous reason for not being able to preview the sounds.
we now have the option to replace the current sounds with our own and without a preview we will not know if our sounds are better than the ones we replaced them with. And the reason for not already having the function, you're worried the thrill is going to wear off???

We stand by that reason, but it is also not the only reason.

Our internal sounds are handled differently than the custom sounds, in an admittedly not so efficient way (From a code management perspective). Getting them to play through the preview button currently would take more time both now and in the future to maintain then we want to spend on it. Realistically the code would need a refactor before that ever becomes a possibility.

For now the purpose of the Preview Sound Button is to make sure custom sounds will play correctly through our audio player.

now that is something i can understand. still though i have to insist, would be really nice to preview all sounds seeing as many that are listed we are not even sure what they are, especially new users. if you guys ever find yourselves doing a major rewrite in the future, i would kindly ask that you program this in. thanks for the awesome stat tool.

Well we're in the middle of a rewrite. And after talking to everyone else I think we'll get the preview sound button to work for our default sounds too.
