This is supposed to be scary? I'd sell my balls to have an indoor pool facility like this.
>>720964087Imagine the smell of all that chlorine.
I know. I seek out "liminal spaces" in real life because they're so relaxing and quiet.
>>720966241I hope it's Bromine instead
>>720964087It's not a private pool, it's a private maze, possibly shifting while you're inside, shaped like pools. maybe you'd dive a breast stroke and try to emerge only for the ceiling to be just against the water level and drown.sounds awesome.
>>720966241Doesn't chlorine only smell up after it beings disinfecting waste in the pool, as long as you nor the creepy monster lurking around don't piss in the pool it should just be a cool aqua smelling room
>>720964087The horror is imagining how much work it'd be to clean it
>>720967405your body oils, dead skin and sweat also make the smell. if you use the pool it's gonna get that chlorine stank
>>720964087you don't see the bottom, this is pretty creepy
>>720964087The only scary thing is bumping into those pillars while swimming. Really, for what purpose?
>>720964087Do the kids these days really go insane over this?
>>720964087the part where you fall through the floorboards into the sauna legit terrified me. I broke my ankle falling from a similar height when I was 15 and I had to climb over a wall to get back out. The thought of falling and not being able to crawl back out with a broken leg (barefoot, on top of it) so you have to wait until you die of thirst - or starve to death, since there is water down there- is horrifying to me and really took me out of the experience which was introspective/meditative up to that point (I put on "Do You Love Me?" from the Neon Genesis Evangelion soundtrack while walking the big blue halls in the second area, it was a vibe)
when I was a kid my dad used to work out of a mostly empty office building that looks almost exactly like that liminal space shit, and he'd drag me along when no one was available to watch meunironically super comfy I do not fathom how people find this shit eerielook at all the space to run around and play or find some big office chair to roll around in
>>720966241>can smell his vidya never a better feeling, it's like magic
>>720964087I always wanted to release one of these games and put nothing in it. No monsters, no jump scares, nothing and let peoples imaginations fill the gaps. I think that's the grift; Ooooh Spooky Backrooms but really nothing is in the game.
>>720964087The only thing that would make it perfect is the feeling of leaving after a long day of solitary adventure, and going back to your comfy house to sleep.
>>720969383It's scary to zoomers because there's no bbcpocs spraying graffiti while niggerhop blasts in their eardrums
>>720969383no hustle and bustlebeing left alone with their thoughtsgeneral loneliness
>>720968175No it's cool. There is likely a small discrete passage several feet underwater leading into an adjoining room I want a backrooms game where you just wander a mind-bogglingly massive interconnected series of maps with little to no overarching goals or purpose. In the Source engine
>>720971062fund this
>>720964087I WOULD pee if I suddenly heard splashing behind me to be fair.
>>720964087The point of these games was never about being scary though
>>720969383I have fond memories of my aunt showing off the brand new offices she'd be working at to my mom and I. They weren't fully furnished, and there was barely anyone there. There was something really comfy about wandering around those empty office spaces. Drinking water out of paper cones.
>>720969383Make it winter so it gets dark out by 5pm and this is peak comfy office.
>>720967671desu the fact it’s basically just you in the massive pool(s) (and maybe a monster or two) would likely cause any oils/wastes to be extremely diluted/not smell
>>720971062Also in VR
>>720971062Its call Pools.
Empty spaces scare zoomers because they might have to be alone with their own thoughts
>>720966241No pee, no smell
>>720964087Scary? makes me want to jump in. Now I want to go swimming hnnnng fuck you OP
>>720969383I remember going to my dad's office with him that was just like thisevery floor looked the same, with liminal hallways and offices, sometimes conference rooms but each floor when you get out of the stairs or off the elevator right in front of you are the bathrooms and a water fountain on every single floorand for some reason some of the office doors were glass with one of those pull push handlesbut the lock was on the bottom of the door so someone had to literally either squat down or get on the floor to lock or unlock the doorit was always really baffling to me that design
>>720969383Looks like a great place to stockpile dodgy el cheapo second-hand pool tables if you ask me
>>720972584>el cheapoWhat does this mean? Looks like "cheap", but it's not actual Spanish. Why did you say it like that?
>>720964087Zoomers are terrified of public spaces.
>>720969383I’m a zoomer and I’ve never seen anything creepy in them. Then again, you HAD to be there to know and I’ve been to such spaces in the past as a kid and it was pretty comfy.
>>720972787It's a colloquial for "cheap and low-quality/worn out", which in hindsight was redundant but ehI guess it probably comes from Mexican-made goods having kind of dubious quality back when outsourcing to Mexico was popular for American companies, hence the fake Spanish.
it's not scary but it is unnerving.
>>720973012also el cheapo is fun to say
>>720972917i don't know, elder zoomers like us probably think it's more comfy
I almost drowned in a pool when I was 12
>>720973110try harder next time.
You wanna know what's REALLY unnerving?why, my peanus weenus of course :)hahah! :Dit's my weeeeeenus peanus! :) hahahThings that REALLY unnerve me - my answer is, of course, my peanus weenus :D
some moments are eerie, but this game is essentially a horror game without proper development and payoff, just a good initial concept
>>720969383most kids who had to see places like this were being moved around high-stress environments; school scolding them for nonsense, their parents being in trouble with the law, hospitals that stank of sick, or for many being taken advantage of whether physically or in order to get leverage between family members. Some kids just simply were always stressed out in their families - 20 years ago I had to spend time where my grandmother worked in places like this, but instead of just lounging around, it was constantly being supervised and forced to sit still while others argue about where our mother is at or who's going to feed us. Me personally I don't have any fear or baggage from it, but if I hadn't grown a lot in high school I would have easily been like a lot of people my age crumpled up and defeated by being tossed around constantly. It doesn't seem that strange to me.
Creepy pasta has devolved to the point that they don't even bother with the creepy parts. They're not afraid of the woods for the lions, and tigers, and bears. They just fear the woods because it's the woods. It's just anxiety of the unfamiliar. Give them something to actually fear and they'd lose their damn minds.
>>720972787There's cheap.There's Mexican cheap.And then there fake Mexican cheap.
>>720964087zoomers are afraid of empty spaces with no screens and people
>>720964087You’re supposed to use your imagination and think about scary stuff like a sea monster in the water or the pool lasts forever and you’re forced to swim until you get so exhausted you drown. If you aren’t creative you wouldn’t get this type of horror.
It's weird to me because i've been to such pool rooms when i lived in russia in the 1990s. You had this warm fully enclosed tiled area after changing room, then youd get into tube and swim forward till you reach outside area with pool. But the interior part looked like OP basically.
>>720969383I now work in schools as a computer technician and I fucking love when it's a school break, because we work through them but at completely our own pace and with very few other people at the school (best time to fix ethernet wall ports or do big hardware changes is when no students or teachers can get in the way or interrupt us)I am frequently the only person there if the other guys are taking a holiday, so I'm walking around a completely empty big school, sometimes with the sound of wind howling through the hallways that's often used for abandoned houses in horror movies, but it doesn't bother me in the slightest (this kind of thing https://youtu.be/95INf7u8tDM?t=7702)I don't get kid's fear of 'liminal spaces' at all, but I'm not superstitious and don;t believe in any kind of magic or supernatural stuff so maybe that helps?
>>720973779>when i lived in russia in the 1990snow that's scary
>>720973884Tell me about it. Only after I moved to the USA did it dawn on me that seeing a dead body laying on the stairs of my commie block building was not a normal childhood experience.
>>720964087It's pretty creepy yeah, but I'm scared of water
>>720973937that's actually pretty common in the US nowadays too!
>>720973982Maybe in gary indiana or portland, but not rest of the country really
>>720973982maybe in your X timeline infused delusion
>>720971062This game exists it just not source engine, no jumpscares or anything, just comfy exploring
>>720966241that water looks dirty as fuck, no chlorine at all
>>720969383Same. My cousins and I played in and old empty building like this when my aunt and uncle were tasked with cleaning it out for some reason. I have fond memories of running around the empty floors exploring with my cousins.
>>720973493You know this is contrary to all other advice about horror, namely letting fear of the unknown and imagination-filling do the work right
>>720971062>i want a game with no gameplay
>>720969383>mostly emptyHow is this even possible with how insane the real estate market is the last 30-40 years. Bakery in the middle of my small country town is worth 11mil because the land its on is so valuable.
>>720969383So hopelessly brainrotted by Tik-Tok, that they can't stand silence and lack of stimulation.
>>720964087Imagine every pool being filled with Indians.
>>720971062get unreal engine and download random assets and load them up, there's your game
>>720972581What if there's a gator girl in there?
>>720974489Dead or still alive?
>>720969383it's just fun to be unnerved anon, i like to play into it and try to get unsettled by these spaces. it's a nice feeling
>>720964087looks comfy af
>>720966241A regular brine pool fixes that. They don't do it for public pools because it costs more and requires more maintenance if the water is constantly getting fouled. Easy as pie to do on your own, though.
>>720974580Is there a difference?
>>720974439You should read the rest of that tard's post, admits he's autistic and wishes the whole planet was a city like le heckin star wars
>>720969383i miss having bruised knees lmao
>>720964087who the fuck wants to swim in that depressive thing? are you norwegian or something?
>>720964087>makes no sense as 3rd world constructions.>too clean to be a 3rd world country constructionunsettling.
>>720964087that looks so fun
>>720972429>>720968175You're in luck on both counts...if I ever get off my ass and work on itSource 2's workflow takes some getting used to over Source 1, though, which is why I keep taking breaks
>>720973982its not
>>720968615they go crazy without their phones/ipads beaming brainrot into their heads 24/7, of course being trapped in a place where it's nothing but silent contemplation would be anathema to them
>>720974296Fear of the unknown isn't horror. That's just anxiety. Horror is when you're put face to face with that lurking dread. You don't make horror out of 2 hours of nothing happening.
>>720964087What kind of room is this supposed to be?
>>720964087You'd probably have to sell them for the cost of upkeep.Or open it to the public.
>>720972429I'm pretty sure you can play Complex: Expedition in (modded) VR since it's a UE5 game
the images/scenes that have a window looking out onto endless clouds and open sky always resonated with meI see them a lot in my dreams
>>720969383sybau boomer. the point is, like the original backrooms post, that there would be no office chairs, no exits, and no going back home to mommy and daddy at the end of the day. not to mention the thing "wandering around nearby". it's not "comfy". you don't get to throw a BBQ and hang out with the bros in the empty mall. you are alone, confused and going to be raped!
>>720969383there's a mini-mall in my city that looks like these odd backroom photos, it's still got that old 90s feel with decorations, furniture and lack of modern technology.it's really fucking comfy and it genuinely feels like going through a time machine into the 90s, something about it just feels so soothing.
>>720964087I don't think it's meant to be scary, just stupid, incomprehensible and unnerving>endless rooms, perpetual feeling of confusion, loneliness and being lost>so quiet you start hearing things, and your mind makes it a thousand times more spooky than it has to be>you constantly feel like there's something out there, even if you never saw any evidence of itA leisure swim will be the last thing in your mind if you would be stuck in an endless maze with no exits.The horror comes from your imagination and cabin fever, and not so much the danger, though obviously you'd need food and water so it's clear that place would be your tomb
You already went to the end of the row, there is no exit door.It must be in one of these storage units then...you're going to have to open every single one. And who knows what's inside...
>>720964087It tries to imitate a hazy childhood memory. Some ordinary places may be remembered as something unnatural
>>720967380Now that's scary.Not the zoom slop with le ebin jump scaries.
>>720969383The issue is that it is clean and quiet.
>>720975834There's a time machine in one of those
>>720973810>https://youtu.be/95INf7u8tDM?t=7702) [Embed]>he's already two hours in
>>720976073Sure is.the problem is you find out the time and place it sends you back to is from the moment you wound up here, hours and hours, perhaps days ago.You are now back where you started, however you are now just as tired and weary of this place as you were when you stepped into the machine, and now you're going to have to find your way back to that room again...or get lost somewhere else entirely.
>>720975380Cool dreamsI see my childhood flat getting robbed while I'm alone and helpless as a kid and the door lock is flimsy for some reasonI wish I had dreams like yours
>>720964087Large bodies of water with no one around are scary as fuck. Next time you walk by a closed indoor swimming pool, take a look through the window at the motionless water just waiting to drown someone
>>720976294>picvery gay
>>720976294Never seen Primer?
>>720976368>Large bodies of water with no one around are scary as fuckNo they're not, it's just a pool of water, nothing bad will happen if you jump inside us anyway.
>>720976409I actually have not>>720976309I've always had dreams about places like the backrooms well before the backrooms or liminal space in general was even really a genre of aesthetic, ever since I was a kidhalf of the spaces people make in their 'found footage' videos of the backrooms feel like they've been lifted straight out of childhood dreams>>720976398how so
>>720976608Now THAT'S actually a spooky pic, especially with how some of the imprints in the carpet look like handprints.You should watch Primer, it's on YouTube so it's easy to find, there's an HD (720p) upload of it as well if you search for it. Very good and mindfuck-y time travel movie.
>>720976309read up about lucid dreaming, now you may never achieve it fully, because it's kind annoying process and not everyone gets it, but if you can develop even a little bit of lucidity while dreaming you can turn nightmares around, when I have one of those dreams with a monter or something like that chasing me, when I manage to realize it's a dream I try to energy blast it with my hands, it's silly but it works or just try to force yourself into awakening or at least get the sense it's not real and not actually happening
>>720976368Knowing theres nothing in my house, but I always still get that sense of immense fear when I have to turn my back to the darkness. I always just imagine something like the opening of scoony-doo reaching out and just missing me
>>720976753No it's not retard you're just admit you're afraid of the dark fucking pussy
>>720976608>how soAlso gay.Now google megalophobia mandelbrot 3d. That's some real scary shit. I almost get panic attack just looking at that shit. It's like a void that's somehow filled with GIGANTIC uncanny structures but also not at the same time. Creepy as fuck.
>>720966241I like the smell
>>720974704>>720974439no the true terror is that if you read that "person's" reddit account they removed their genitals and identify as a non sexual being. truly fucked up
>>720976947>they removed their genitals and identify as a non sexual beingDoes he piss in a fucking bag or what?
>>720972207I love CS2's iteration of Office because of the time of day, it's this wintery early hours of the morning that gives me a fondness for when I used to go into the city years ago. I get they keep the brightness the way it is for visibility but I wish it was set a little darker/earlier and keep the street lights on for more ambiancehttps://youtu.be/kMd07r6aKo4?si=YUgzRkv70ySRXQrO
>>720976582I used to go swimming in rivers, lakes & ofc swimming pools. Infact I'm a fantastic swimmer so it's not some irrational fear of water, it's just when there's an eerie silence and a lot of water. I'm not some faggot zoomer either I grew up in the 80s when Jaws was a huge film where water was an actual danger cus le big fucking fish which made millions of cucks afraid of water kek
>>720976582>ushmmm
>>720977198Sharks aren't even scary, just don't look like a seal.
>>720964087>this scares the zoomer
>>720969383Did you miss the part where it stretches on infinitely and there is no way out and no way to know if anything else is in there with you? It is a thought experiment.
Back in the 90s, my older brother worked as a security guard. Sometimes I would visit him and was allowed to see the areas behind the shops... the long corridors, storage rooms, staff lounges, and so on. I still miss it to this day. the cozy, empty hallways, the evening light falling in through the narrow windows high above.
>>720977574it was a mall
>>720969383I had a similar experience. All this shit is just comfy and nostalgic to me.
>>720964087The environment scares me less than the idea of falling in a dark pool like that and drowning.
>>720974489Seeing more and more indians/arabs/chinese every time I go out is the real horror.
>>720973810sounds comfy>>720976182kek
>>720976608Pic reminds me of this
>>720974554would
>>720964087the backrooms liminal space never scared me, it seemed as comfortable as having an entire mall to yourself after every shop has closed. the only thing that was made to attempt to make it scary is that you're in there with a monster, but that would make any environment scary.
>>720964087The world has moved from >I think, therefore I amto>Others react to me, therefore I am
>>720966241I must be DAMAGED but I've always loved the smell of chlorine in the pool, feels somehow nostalgic
>>720978507She lives in the fucking sewers, anon.
>>720977365Jaws didn't give a fuck that motherfucker would take a fat chunk out of a wooden boat!
>>720978983Have you tried rotating the mega shark?
>>720973752>um, just imagine there's something scary somewhere in this image of a slightly weird-looking placeYeah, just like libraries are heckin' terrifying because you can imagine there's a monster hidden behind a bookcase. Or post offices are terrifying because you can imagine the waiting line goes on forever. Hey, what if this rain puddle is actually 9000 miles deep? OooOOOooooOOoh!
>>720978740no, she lives in the canal behind my complex
>>720979629Being a giant gator she can probably eat you whole, anon. I wouldn't fuck with that. Please call animal control.
>>720978568 Exactly. The original backrooms concept was just about that eerie liminality-harsh fluorescents, bland yellow walls, that low hum vibration. It's not scary because there’s a monster. It’s scary (or comfy, depending on who you are) because it taps into the feeling of being somewhere off the path of normal reality. Like you slipped out of the world and now you’re in some forgotten debug zone. Honestly, I'd take a nap in Level 0.
>>720969383For me its sitting against the wall near a powerpoint and playing AOE2 on my laptop
>>720976073I got that reference. Good movie.
>>720969383These "hur dur what's so scary zoomers" posts are so cringe, if you actually fell into the Backrooms as originally described you'd be a gibbering wreck within 20 minutes

>>720980636This is bogus extrapolation from a limited polling pool with significant sampling bias and no way of guaranteeing whether those poleld were even telling the truth.
>>720971062This is unironically that myhouse wad in Doom, except for the source engine part. If you don't let normalfags ruin it for you with their shitty theories it's a pretty solid mod
>>720980636>illinoisBlack majorityAny place with a lot of blacks are subjected to daily shootings, this isn't new information for anyone
>>720964087Looks like a private onsen in the Japans.
>>720973937>>720980636Don't know about shootings but verdosed junkies seemed fairly common in both US (Florida) and eastern europe (Slovakia).
I used to love dark lonely isolated places and I loved to night drive and have a ciggy somewhere quiet but then my city got infested with niggers and the atmosphere completely changed
>>720964087I think it's supposed to be more unsettling than scary. The loneliness would probably get to most after a while too.
>>720964087Only conditioned normies fear isolated places, Cultured men on the other hand, would have a hell of a time.
>>720964087Zoomer boomer doomer gloomer loomers only recognize anger and fear as emotions and can't conceive of vague unsettlement.
>>720969383I remember when I was young, there was this abandoned mall that had closed before it even opened because the builders went bankrupt. It was pretty far from town, with a lake about half a mile away, so my friends, cousins, and I would go there to hide out. That place was perfect. One time we even brought some girls along, it was so comfy just sitting there after swimming in the lake, wandering the mall, and playing soccer in one of the big empty stores. It was awesome. I even lost my virginity in that mall. I never understood why people found it scary, if anything, an abandoned place like that was the perfect hangout spot for us.

>>720971062isn't that what most roguelikes are, but just with enemies instead of nothing
>>720964087>I'd sell my balls to have an indoor pool facilityImagine a solitary, nutless OP swimming around in his indoor swimming pool.
>>720966241Fuck yes. I love swimming pools so much.
>>720988045Most roguelikes have a purpose and a goal to complete. You won't do it much, but say, NetHack has the Amulet of Yendor, or ADOM has the chaos gate, DCSS has the Orb of Zot, Tales of Maj'Eyal has its campaign modes with its final bosses.Though I guess the most popular one (Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead and its forks) doesn't.
>>720972565>doesn't piss in any pool he comes acrossYou haven't lived.
>>720980391>well if the boogeyman really showed up under your bed you'd be scared too!!!!come back when you finish elementary school kiddo
>>720974704>>720976947Holy shit that thing's so pathetic. It needs to be euthanized asap
>>720964087the scary part is knowing that you're trapped in there with malevolent beings that intend to harm you and are patiently hiding in the shadowsyou are 100% dead in these games, the horror comes from the sense of inevitable doom you feel with every naive action you take in hopes of somehow survivingthis resonates strongly with zoomers because they have low hopes for the futureevery form of work to the prototypical zoomer feels similar to every meaningless step you take in one of these cursed backrooms scenarios
>>720969383>IMAGINE WAKING UP IN AN EMPTY FACILITY>WITHOUT YOUR PHONE TO BROWSE TIK TOKHow am I supposed pass my time? Where am I supposed to look? How am I supposed to stand? How long has the time passed? Where is my YouTube, Twitch, and Tik Tok? Should I look front or back? Am I being awkward? Am I allowed to look around? Should I walk? Should I sit? Where is my Chat GPT or Reddit app to ask these questions?Now this is the true definition of horror.
>>720974554Too human
>>720977526It seems fun to explore desu, maybe not once you start starving but you can pretty much say the same thing for getting transported into a jungle or a middle of a desert with no way to get out, compared to that infinite office seems less horrificalso hypothetical scenario is not a thought experiment
>>720969492Sometimes it fucking sucks.And I don't know about you but I can only do it when the game is in first person.
>>720964087All the AI endless pool hallway pictures that are supposed to be le liminal scary just remind me of the ps1 lara croft game mansion and arent even remotely scary
>>720978693me tooi actually love the smell of chlorineand gasoline and cigarettes too T-T
>>720985223The Complex: Expedition and Found Footage.
>>720990297I swear SCPfags just latched to Backrooms because they had the urge of filling those empty areas with their OC monsters and deep lore.
>>720964087zoomers don't know the true horror of leisure pool packed with peopleanyone who experienced overcrowded pool would see empty pool rooms as comfy
>>720992781yeah i honestly dislike the addition of monsters/entities to backrooms scenariosi always thought it was more terrifying to simply be left alone to starve/die of exhaustion in an infinitely large maze of hopelessness and despair
>>720985223Dreamcore.
>>720969383Really similar experience. Spent a lot of nights in the 90's at my mom's work late into the night. We grew up in a cold area that requires skyway connections between buildings downtown so we'd take snaking paths through after-hours malls and buildings at night completely devoid of people. Really eerie but made me love liminal spaces and anything with that eerie vibe. Not scary at all. Comfy.
>>720992920Was there a time where white people actually subjected themselves to this or is this an exclusively thirdie experience
>>720969383Same. I used to go with my mom to work during the summer months and would bring my laptop to play Battlefront and watch JoJo while she worked.
>>720968285...to hold the roof up?
>>720994778Nah, you don't need those. *knocks down load bearing wall*
>>720964087no exit
>>720971062VRChat has some levels like this
>>720964087Many 3D games have really unintentionally creepy areas if you accidentally move out of bounds and see blank structures, black voids, and barely walkable chaos that is familiar, but off.This doesn't even come close to replicating that though. Especially outside of the same context.
>>720992920I just wouldn't go into the water if it was even half as crowded as in that image. Why do those people subject themselves to this?
>>720994273Yeah? Have you ever been on a shitty mega cruise ships?I can't fathom how these things has enough demand to be extremely profitable, it's horrific
>>720991272A jungle or desert has hope for survival. There are things to eat or drink in both if you work for it. These places don't have that. Empty expanses of seemingly artificial structures, but the sheer scale of them means there's no way they could have been built by human hands. Instead they must be the result of some kind of supernatural phenomenon or glitch in the system. Because humans didn't build them, their structure doesn't have to make any logical sense and can be downright inhospitable. Maybe you'll die of starvation or dehydration, or maybe like another anon said, you'll drown because you're in the pool rooms and it just didn't "generate" an air pocket above the part you swam through in your futile attempts to find an exit.
this game was ruined by shitty lumen lighting
>>720996485erm infinite rooms has just as enough hope if you can pull hypotheticals from your retarded asshole random entity might just be random enough to spawn a fridge or something in one of the rooms, just eat that, goon, sleep, wake up, find fridge, goon, sleep.
>tfw no House of Leaves game
>>720991935can happen in 3d person games sometimes, like In Dead rising 2 just before the security room In that cooling area
>>720967405>>720967671Inner city niggers detected. The chlorine smells LIKE CHLORINE. ANY FISH STANK AND OIL SLICKS IS FROM YOU NOT TAKING A SHOWER BEFORE JUMPING IN. TELL YOUR SISTER SHANIQUA TO LAY OFF THE HAIR PRODUCTS.
>>720964087why is the surface so choppy? it should be smooth as glass?
>>720970060Imagine having a psyche so malformed that your own idle thought processes damage you.Imagine requiring constant distraction and stimulation to simply exist comfortably.
>>720964087When I was young me and my friends used to go exploring through abandoned towns and buildings close to our area. They called this "urban exploring" but we didn't really have a name for it back then. Sometimes we would pick creepy places and go there at night which was pretty stupid. I still remember some the strange things we saw back then and think about how exciting it was.
>>720996680> ImageI find it quite elementary actually.
>>720996284Cruise goers shouldn't even be classified as people, much less white people.I don't care what their skin color appears to be.They aren't human.
>>720999004What the happened to cruises. I've never been on one myself but I remember they used to be this luxury thing that was quite expensive and fun to do. Now it seems like a fucking a place they pack all the trailer trash on one boat. That being said I bet it would be extremely easy to get laid on one of these cruises.
>>720964087Maybe this is more of your speed zoom zoomhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkIQTX71GnU
>>720969383>>720964087Exactly, if you find this shit scary or even slightly unsettling you are basically a total fucking coward and deserve a pipe to the skull
>>720999761>acts like he never had dreams about being lostThey're not "wake up in a cold sweat" dreams, but they ARE uncomfortable.
>>720969383fucking weird how people are being contrarian all of a sudden and finding it comfy. getting lost in these places is creepy af and easy to do since it all looks the same .
>>720969383This but my mom worked security in a college and the basement was like thisMe and the sibs would play hide n seek, my first crush was this older white girl that worked upstairs that played with us. She had a fat ass and I know she knew i liked her because she teared me in weird ways Fucking swear all women are secretly pedos she used to "hide" with me by pinning me into the corner with her ass. My 10 year old dick stood no chance
>>721000975>She teared me in weird ways???Reminder not to let girls tear you fellas.I know it might seem hot in the moment, but the wounds take decades to fully heal.
>>721001469Teased* She used to come really close to kissing me with her lips pucked then quickly back away and laugh Fucking sexy bitch.... I wish I was a more Chad kid I would have went for it
The Zoomer's most scary place is not a haunted house or a cemetery, but an office where people work. Says much about a generation.
This thread is just revealing how little mental anguish people have experienced and how little they know of the level of pain you experience in things relating to losing your mind for extended periods of time. Being lost in mazes devoid of any human purpose that make you feel uneasy things is literally the end-game of bad human experience, that combined with time dilation tech that people could potentially be put through is almost enough reason to just nuke humanity right now so no one ever has to go through that hell.
>>720988742I miss going to the local indoor pool with my wife and son when he was a year old. They had a series of warm temperature "pools" that interconnected via a few curving pathways with lots of places to sit down while in the water and we would spend hours there while he just splashed around in his life jacket and we would talk with other parents, etc.I don't think that place re-opened after covid lockdowns...shame.
Indoor pools are terrible for property value. It's a guaranteed mold hazard.
>>720969383These places are only creepy when you're a little kid, it gets dark outside, you start becoming acutely aware of how quiet the building is, and you start getting paranoid that one of the dark offices has Chucky in it or something.
>>720999495Wealth gap got wider.Anyone with any money will be cruising in their own boat.
>>721000635It IS comfy in a game, because the game is just a game. In a dream, being lost and backtracking to find the path behind you changed is unsettling.
>>720964087>This is supposed to be scary?It's supposed to be nostalgic and lonely for suburban kids. If you actually grew up in a scary environment this won't scare you for shit.
>>720999495They still exist, but they get a lot of bad press due to the fact that when nothing happens, nobody talks about them. Then when they're on the news:>DYSENTERY! PEOPLE SHITTING OVER THE RAILS!
It IS scary when you realize the water is the same color as the Olympic Brazilian diving pool
>>721003665forgot pig
>>721003482I can only relate to that if the levels are small, like playing on dead servers in multiplayer maps of old source games etc. Running around in the thief games in the bigger levels and getting lost in tunnels that all look the same is really really unpleasant to me.
>>720977523AIIEEEEEEEE
>>721003743Why are they different colors?
>>721003753There is a weird feeling when you're in a place like a dead mall and there SHOULD be things going on but they're not, but I can't suspend disbelief enough to translate that to games.
>>720999495They've always had lower class cabins for the poors but now the boats are so big that it's viable to fill them with as many people as possible and make money from all the extra fee/charges/sales on the ship. Expensive, larger cabins are still an option as well as a few ships that have strict dress codes.
>>720969383>>721002839As a dude with severe visual snow syndrome, these featureless spaces without complex geometry and light and shadow to drown out and distract from the visual chatter with no other stimulus makes these spaces truly horrifying. Had to stop watching Serial experiment lain for the same reason, was frekaing me out, no drugs required.
>>721004838You don't want to know. Sad story for everyone involved
>>721007179>You don't want to knowWell, I do.

>>720964087Have you ever been to a school/hospital during night without a single soul on the corridors and lights flickering ? Hospitals or schools are full of people and "action" during the day, but there's a different story during nightYou can understand if you were in those places at night, also fear of unknown
>>721007874>classroom of 7-8 people>fourth floor>some classes ended close to 10:00 PM>place was almost completely empty, dimly lit>far away from the avenue that cars could barely be heardIt was comfy.
I think about this pic a lot.
>>721009728I;m thinking about thos Beans
>>720980636I bet this is another "study" brought to you by the same people who claim illegal aliens commit less crime and pay more taxes
>>720973752Fucking retard.The scary part is not "Oh there might be a scary monster in the pool", the scariness in the image is meant to come from the whole "Why is this here" part. Who built and a put a pool in a compromising area like this, with two random pillars? Why is it underground? Why are the floors, walls, and roof using the same tilework?Same thing as shit like this if anyone remembers this house.Why was this shower at the very back edge of the basement? Why did it have two sets of stairs, one leading nowhere? Why was it still in use despite being next to active ebay seller operations (as in, right next to carboard boxes of shit being sold)? Those probing questions all the mind to wander.This is also why liminal spaces aren't scary, because your mind wanders fucking nowhere.
>>721010015
>>720969383I've always loved abandoned schools, vacant office space, and shit like that. Covid was a beautiful time when I barely saw people out and about.
>>720964087I have a conspiracy theory that the talent agencies that are in charge of streamers have contracts with the creators of these "games" and when it's time for a new live stream or video the agency contracts out a new game or set of levels tailor made to the streamers plans, likes, or content they want to release. Pic unrelated, maybe.
