potd: subtitles

[Kalahari Inkantation]

on, almost always

[Samus Aran]

it depends somewhat, but these days i usually turn them on. for games, at least. never for movies/shows.

[silvertone]

usually off because i end up reading the movie insteado f watching it

[Mando Pandango]

if you're reading subtitles and listening to dialogue in the same language at the same time i will personally find you at your place of residence and deliver a strongly worded letter and then watch you read it

[silvertone]

deliver the letter, then read it out loud as (s)he reads it at the same time

[klappa]

It depends. If the show has a low max volume I leave them on. Or if the accent is very thick like something extremely chavy or foreign.

[The Hand That Fisted Everyone]

idk man some of these bullshit mumblecore movies need things like that

[PLEASEHELP1991]

I need subtitles to watch rab c. nesbitt as Glaswegian is hardly English

[ME##]

If I'm using my headphones, not all of time.  Without them, yes.  Especially since most content has such high contrasts between the quietest dialogue and needlessly loud music/"action"

I prefer to always have subtitles across games, movies, and TV

but sometimes there are TV shows that have very poorly-timed closed captions that annoy me enough to turn them off. If the characters are almost done saying a line by the time the line appears in text on-screen, those captions aren't worth having.

imo it also ruins it if the subtitles can be read before the character says the entire line

I typically turn subs off on games unless it's particularly hard to hear/understand
