It always annoyed me how normies immediately forgot the entire purpose of the Backrooms as a concept, and that's the understated existential implication that we're living in a simulation, if we can noclip out of reality into an out-of-bounds area as if the universe is programmed like a video-game. But no, instead, let's focus on le spooky monsters

That's just you projecting meaning on the original post.
>>
>>736422834
Yeah I guess so but I feel like you're a retard if you read the Backrooms as a concept and your first thought isn't immediately "wait, what do you mean 'noclip' out of reality? What the fuck?"

>>736422527
There is no concept. It's literally just "there is no real reason you just arrive in this nightmare scenario". I fucking hate zoomers and their need to have some shitty forced lore.

The Backrooms is a repository of memories related to places. Every time you recall a place in your mind from memory, whether from an idle though or a dream, it winds up physically somewhere in there. But every time you recall a place from memory, it also gets progressively more distorted by time and the general unreliability of one's own memories especially from a visual/spatial standpoint. More and more these progressively more distorted versions of places from your memories pile up into an increasingly incoherent and tangled mass of half remembered places.

Is it even possible to make the backrooms into a decent game without "le heckin spoopy monster chases you in random world"? I played this back in 1995, it's called ski free. The backrooms doesn't lend itself to a good game because, by nature, the world has to be infinite, but I've never seen an infinite game tackle this idea in an engaging way that wasn't contrived.

I honestly like the poolrooms better as a setting that would be more interesting to explore, but again, you can't make it in to an interesting game. At best, you'd just make it a walking simulator that has no win state.
>>
>>736425395
A walking simulator isn't terrible but the developer really has to lean into everything else to make it interesting.

They have liminal space games where there are no monsters and you walk around a weird empty world and as you can imagine the novelty wears off quickly

people don't even know that slenderman and sirenhead have a verifiable point of origin and just assume they're unknown internet mythos.

also the real world location of the original backrooms image is known, and today it is used as an RC race track course.

>>736425395
A found footage-style game could potentially work if it was made in the style of a Supermassive game, though at that point it's probably just gonna be House of Leaves 0.5
>>
>>736425614
Yeah this is true, but I think this sort of thing may have already been solved. Look at Nipper maps in CSS for example, almost every room is unique and interesting to look at in some way. That being said, they're also fairly interactive and there's a lot more to them than just being 100% walking simulator.

>Kane Pixels,

There's The National Institute for Spectral Haptics with one video, by the Mystery Flesh Pit guy. He said he intends to pick this back up again at some point.

A new decent one is The Glendale Archives, but it's really slow paced because the guy does a lot of monologues on his situation/mental health and it's mostly retrospect commentary with little tension or scares.

There's a bunch of really good ones in Japanese but I don't have them on hand. They're mostly SCP-ish or EAS scenarios.
>>
>>736426607
Early SCP had very little editing because there weren't very many people contributing to it. It got popular with zoomies which caused them to start reviewing everything before allowing it, and since most of it was submitted by zoomies, most of it was garbage. Lil Zooms still wanted to contribute to some copypasta garbage, so they started creating their own backrooms lore. You'd think the backrooms were some vast world filled with monsters and magic when the reality was that it was always supposed to be as empty as possible.

Little kids really shouldn't be on the internet, if not for their own safety, but for everyone else's sanity.
>>
when i first saw a poolroom video i thought that "is this what they call asmr?" and only after reading the comments i realized that it was supposed to be horror, not comfortable relaxation
>>
>>736425395
Of course you can't make a good game out of it.
The entire concept is that you're stuck in a mindnumbing endless maze where either something eats your face or you die of thirst in a few days.

The second time I found myself in something like the backrooms (not lost but had a similar feeling), I kept on finding shiny fresh apples lying around. The back of my head told me they were supplies/power-ups left around to make sure those trapped don't starve.

Backrooms just doesn't lend itself well to a game. You're either stuck doing a walking sim 'experience', or levels, video game logic and total Redditization of the setting in order to have anything resembling gameplay
It's basically impossible to reconcile the two, your game is either one or the other

Another round of worthless bullshit from the people who can't accept that thousands of us are going to have to die on the altar of liberty if we ever want to have a decent society again. There isn't going to be a reset, there isn't going to be an ACCELERATE moment, and there isn't going to be a simulation shutdown, an alien rescue, an AI overlord, or anything else that will save you from things getting continually worse until people are willing to die to change it so that other people can have the great life that they fought for. It will have to be done the good old-fashioned way.

Its like a religion with you people, you just can't conceive of a world that you're not in, still passing judgement over whatever comes after, when the reality is that whomever builds what comes after this won't be there to see it, they will have almost certainly died fighting for it and many others besides. I guess this is the new way of coping for not having an afterlife now that everyone has secularized, or something.

Being le right-wing means she (and your Trump too) wants dark skinned slave labor, but wants to make the darkies living conditions as bad as possible, so they eventually leave.
This means:
>the rich love it cause get labour but dont have to emply natives (you, if America) and pay them (you, if America) high wages
>right-wingers (yes, you) love it cause darkies have worse life (you do too, of course, but being right-wing means you will suffer, as long as darkies suffer worse)

To be entirely fair, that's still legitimate politics. Its not like we're allowed to vote on 'all non-whites out' as a policy here and that should be a legitimate thing that people are allowed to vote for. Since we can't, the best that we can hope for is that one political party or another takes up that stance and does what it can to make them leave or to deport them. But it is both right and reasonable to expect that the government you elected should defend your personal interests from other, foreign groups of people who do not have the same interests as you and your countrymen.
