I started playing Unsighted and I think putting the Garand ping in more games, regardless of whether it makes "sense," is how we heal as a society
sci-fi video game where all the guns are futuristic laser rifles or shoot caseless flechette ammunition, etc, but every single one still has a little metal chute off one side that makes a loud 'ping' and ejects a functionally-worthless en bloc clip every time you have to reload
this is why they put thermal clips in the guns in between mass effect 1 and 2 but they didn't realize the ping technology was lost during the skyllian blitz
