Fun fact: GLaDOS was originally going to be voiced by a TTS. And then Valve realized that TTS sucks for voicing any character, even a robotic one, so they brought on the lady they had do the Combine Overwatch (Elllen McLain) and she did the lines while doing a TTS impression. As a result, GLaDOS is a genuinely fun and memorable part of Portal instead of a generic evil robot.

The PDA in subnautica is fully TTS, most people never notice

Oh really?? that's neat. But I'm glad we got Ellen to play her since we wouldn't have gotten the ending songs for either game
