What the FUCK is wrong with zoomers, man? What the hell is the point of this shit?
>>740834540it is sloop, just backwards
for swimming i think
There were 4chan threads of this shit like a decade ago. Young people mimic the older ones. It's like CoDkiddies, but for internet memes.
>>740834540zoomoidaloidalgroidalniggoidals are afraid of their own shadows and are also addicted to fear and freaking out because they are effeminate gay twink niggers
What if you were walking into one place you thought it was empty but then THERE WAS LE MONSTER
>>740834540What's scary about this? This is maximum comfy.
>>740835012AIEEEEEE BUT WHAT IF A DECAYED ANIMATRONIC SHOWED UP!?:!?:!
>>740834540average zoomer doesn't know how to swimpools are terrifying
>>740835095Most community pools are like 5 feet deep at most.
This game and dreamcore were way better in the demo before all the faggots and redditors were complaining that having an actual entity in the game was too spooky and they just wanted to walk around until the end with no objectives or threats
>>740834540I always assume people complaining about backrooms / liminal games do so intentionally baiting people into talking about the genre. Mostly because they constantly compare games within the genre to older horror games like Silent Hill or Siren.Completely misses the point of the games. They're not supposed to be conventionally scary.
>>740835350>faggots saying that having a monster "kills the vibes" in a fucking horror game are just redditorsIt all makes sense now, even the original backrooms 4chan post talks about monsters, these faggots that unironically just want empty rooms are retarded.
>>740835012I've always felt the backrooms/liminal areas are in a way meant to be comfy and have a sense of wonder as well as eerie unease as to what COULD be lurking. But most of the games just have these areas be backdrops to a generic monster that stalks you.
>>740835012imagine being in an abandoned place like that, not even alone, could be with a friend. it would still be kind of unsettling. now imagine actually being alone there, like you teleported there and you have no idea how to get out or how big the place is. that's not even a bit scary
>>740834540>buy game>it's closed
>>740834540zoomers probably eating pussy rn while you make a thread targeting them on vee lol
>>740836013lel
>>740835350Wait... so there's no threat in the entire game?
>>740834832this
>>740834540I watched an egirl play this after she chugged a bunch of bottles of water so she could piss herself when a scare happened.
>>740836787>I'm a degenerate!! WE KNOW.
>>740834540Im 49 and this is scary because when I was a kid some nigget faggot shit in the pool
>>740835906I’ve sneaked into the local water park at night numerous times as a teenager. It’s so serene and comfy I love it
>>740834931that was called vaporwave
I think the extended backrooms "lore" is a bit cringe, but I think you are just being reactionary in the sense that you can't understand why liminal spaces are a bit unsettling. Honestly, it's basically the same exact thing as thalassophobia, and deep sea threads have been a part of this board forever.
>>740834540The footstep sounds in these games make me feel good.
>>740837003>its like being scared of the oceanAre you telling me zoomers are scared of the ocean now? This isnt helping their case, I just hate them even more.>>740835906>now imagine actually being alone there, like you teleported there and you have no idea how to get out or how big the place is.Only as "scary" as if you got teleported to the middle of the woods. Yeah, it sounds like it would suck, but it doesnt sound as scary as it sounds annoying.
>>740834540>>740835012Out of all the liminal space horror shit I think I'm actually gonna play this, because I always thought these pictures of impossible pools are cool and I even dreamed of such places, pleasantly, since I was in indoor aqua parks or "experience baths" alot as a kid
>>740834540Zoomers are all half mulattoes so they can't swim
>>740838503>experience bathsIs this what inner city faggots call Turkish bath houses?
The real problem with this is something I picked up when seeing a zoomer on youtube say the scary part was asking "who is maintaining this?"As a millennial, the fear is "your mind", or "no one".But in the comments sections the zoomers keep saying the fear is "some spooky monster made of rusty parts">>740838503I like the stairs, but the geometry for the pools is not very aesthetic.
>>740838761No it's the translation of how Germans call their indoor aqua parks
>>740837605post the real version
Ben, I know you're browsing this thread. It's not your fault I drowned in that pool. It shouldn't have been your responsibility to watch me.Mom and dad don't hate you, they're just sad, you have to move on.
I get the feeling theyre trying to convey it just doesn't really make for a good game usually
>baths/pools with no windowsThere I solved the spooky question. It's claustrophobia.
do they have chlorine?
>>740839180I'm not claustrophobic THOUGHIE
>>740836068Zoomers don't have sex
I swear to fuck you fags can't think ahead more than the immediate next 5 seconds. Actual brown behavior.>You have wound up somewhere unknown through no fault or intent of your own>You don't know the terrain or layout>You don't know if the water is safe to wade in or traverse>You don't know if there's any potable water to be had>You don't know if there are any edible food sources>You don't know if there's a way out of this place>You don't know if you're alone in hereAll of these things should be unsettling to anyone with a brain and functional survival instinct, something certain demographics notably lack.
>>740839340Nah, it's still not scary.
>>740834540Initially all the different types of liminal spaces were notable because they invoked memories we all had as children but could barely remember, at a weird crossroads of nostalgia and deja vu. The poolrooms were always reminiscent of pools and water parks so many people went to as children, the backrooms were maybe an old store or grandparents house built in the 70s, there were versions for malls, party rooms, hotels, and a bunch of other places. All intimately familiar but strangely empty and unplaceable at the same time. The problem is none of this shit translates well to a video game and every attempt thus far is either a walking simulator or a game of hide and seek with a monster. It's hard to gamify vague feelings of nostalgia and unease and I don't really think any of these devs know what made the liminal spaces so interesting in the first place. You really need an aspect of psychological horror to make it work and IIRC subliminal is the only one to make an attempt at it, never played it tho.
>>740835012if there's sunlight it's not scaryif there's no sunlight it's scarysimple as
>>740835012It is, until you realize there is no exit.
>>740839487What the fuck, sunlight is the scariest thing there is
>>740835012Slipping and there being no railing
Getting trolled on Habbo Hotel left them traumatized to the point where they are afraid of pools.
>>740839718Those kids you closed the pool on are over thirty now
>>740839554sunlight = no monsterscome on this is basics
>>740835012Because you're in a virtually infinite, basically empty space with no way out and no means of long term survival. Even if the water was drinkable, you're still starving to death. You're still trying to sleep on damp, hard tiles. You're still wandering the exact same scenes, with the exact same lights, with the exact same sounds, entirely alone until your eventual demise.The scary part is there being no exit. It's being locked in the Minotaur's Labyrinth. It's being trapped until you're just another corpse. If you think about it, the Greek fables of the Minotaur is basically the proto-backrooms.>Seemingly infinite, looping dungeon of discomfort>A looming and dreadful monster slowly but surely tracking you down>Maddening loss of direction leading to eventual starvation or killed by a beast (Entity)The Backrooms is literally just The Cretans for zoomers.
>>740834540I'm convinced this is a navigationlet genre. "What if I got lost and never got out" is for people who have gotten badly lost in an unfamiliar environment. I bet GPS has made it worse too.
>>740834540Hi I once swam in an indoor pool like this when I was really little. It looked really strange, like it was decades out of code.And despite the vast volume of the room, something just felt off, and it was to do with the color of the floors and walls, which were indeed kinda yellow like this.The lighting wasn't as good as it could've been. Again, like this picture here.It feels like an abattoir. Like you're not supposed to be there.
>>740834540I think liminal stuff is kinda cool but at the same time both sides kinda miss the point. You can make it scary but you don't have to either, whatever you do decide to do with it just make it cool.
>>740834540Comfy. reminds me of how I wandered around the empty high school at nighttime back then.
>>740834540So is there a shitty monster hiding in the water because that just makes it boring, would be much more harrowing having to dive through narrow tiled corridors to get any further
>>740839953I just head cannon this shit as an ethereal afterlife kind of place you can just chill out and swim around in without a care in the world. It being spooky because it's an inescapable labyrinth you'll starve in is barely any different from getting lost in a desert or any sort of wilderness. Only difference is that it looks like a manmade structure.
>>740836068they eat ass
/v/ is basically the backrooms of 4chan. An endless series of threads to explore, all filled with the same boring shitposting you've seen a thousand times before. A constant droning sound of incoherent ESL posts in the background. A janny always lurking somewhere on the board, waiting to ding dong bannu.
>All this random guessingIt's just oversocialized cityfags unable to cope with the idea of places without people. Literally a setting for that one screencap of a guy crying whenever he's in nature because he's afraid he'll never see people again.
>>740836068>The least sex-havingest generation in human history is probably having sex right now!!!LOL, LMAO!
Remember when everyone did urban exploration and these were just normal pictures
>>740840480I miss STALKER threads
>>740840208>path ends in a sheer dropoff into deep water>maybe it's not THAT deep>quickly take a peek beneath surface>it goes down at least 100 meters and the bottom falls off into total blackness>multiple doorways into other paths/rooms dot the walls, some lit, some not>any one of these could be the way forward>any one of these could be a dead end or a loop back to where you were hours ago>no assurance any of them have air pockets or outlets of any kind>you can't check them all, you don't have the lung capacity for that, especially the ones near the 'bottom'>you have to pick one and commit even if it ends up being a dead end branch with no air pockets that you will die in
>>740835095no zoomer is capable of swimming, because 100% of zoomers are niggers, and niggers are stonefish, they sink and they STINK
>>740835262zoomers top out at 4'9" tall
I mean the problem with the backrooms is, you can do a scary place with any thing? like, I will be scared as hell if I'm my house, I open the frontdoor and it's my house again, it doesn't have to be a liminal space.
>>740836960we snuck into our local waterpark at night during the winter to try and snowskate down the snow-covered waterslidesstill can't believe we didn't get busted
>>740840809AIEEEEE
>>740838712they're full nigger, every. single. last. fucking, one of them.
>>740834540Yes, broccoli heads are scared of fucking indoor pools lmao.
>>740839340>>You have wound up somewhereonly nonwhites do this, white men always know where they are and how they got there, they don't just "wind up somewhere" that's what joggers and skittles buyers do
>>740840809>IT'S ME MORTY, I MORPHED INTO A PICKLE SNAKE! I'M PICKLE ABOMINATION RIIIIIIIIICK!!!!
>>740839783and now they're playing gay liminal "horror"slop en masse, great job proving his point, retard
>>740841007They aren't zoomers but millenials then thoughbeit
>>740839073brother of ben drowned
>>740834540liminal spaces are so nortubel tier
>>740840738Basically. I've had dreams exactly like that where I'm so late for work or school that everyone else has left and the house is empty, so I shit, shower, and rush out the front door and it opens up into a completely different room of my house, try and go out the front door again, different room, etc etc and I keep doing it over and over, and eventually things start changing, like the walls being wallpaper instead of painted drywall, different decor and furnishings etc. and eventually even the rooms start becoming more disfigured and backrooms-like. Eventually everything breaks down after so many iterations that I can't even find the front door anymore and when I eventually do it leads out onto total void and in my haste to get the fuck out I run straight into it and fall forever
>>740841118wrong, retard
>>740834540This just makes me want to play a waterpark-based map in TF2.>Loads up Lethargy Pools for the fifth time in a month.
