>>750740592got his ass
>>750740532>game has Lovecraft tag>it just has tentacles with eyes
>>750740532Sounds like you haven’t been tentacle raped
>>750740532If you find the horrors so comprehensible then try explaining them to the rest of us.What? You can't? You're a fraud.
>>750741430They are monsters with a lot of tentacles and mouths
>>750740701NTR with white males
>>750742597Doesn't sound so horrible desu
>>750740532That's because, by definition, we cannot create anything that is truly incomprehensible. That is why every "incomprehensible" monster in our works of fiction are actually very comprehensible. If they weren't, we wouldn't have been able to even create it.
>>75074053240% of Nobel winners in thermodynamics killed themselves or went insane. I always think of that as the real life necronomican.
>>750740532See how it works is you don't get how it's supposed to be incomprehensible so you're not comprehending it.
One time I dreamt I was in the Lovecraftian museum and I immediately went to check out the exhibit for the "inhuman tiara" but when I got there it was clearly a mislabelled exhibit cause there was jjust this wagon wheel thing there. What bothers me the most is that I didn't stop to look at all the other cool exhibits I passed on the way there because I was deadset on this tiara thing.alas.
>>750743139To be fair to Dream (You), an Inhuman Tiara sounds rad. Can't blame him for focusing it down.
>>750743614oh you're one of those people who think the dream version isn't really me.
>>750740532Would masses of rapidly-shifting geometric shapes be more incomprehensible to you?
>>750744460He stops existing when you wake up, anon.
right? anarcho cap bros rise up
>>750744729no sometimes it flows directly into reality from dreamland. One time I closed my eyes in the dream and opened them into the real world. One time I dreamt a woman was sleeping with her hand resting on my chest and I woke up and the hand was still there. It was just my own hand but my hand was still asleep so I wasn't receiving any sensation from it so it felt like someone else's hand.One time I fought off the dream monster on my chest and I pushed it off my chest with all my strength and the effort had me break the dream barrier and I woke up pushing thin air. It only felt so heavy because what I was fighting against was like my own bones or something you get paralyzed at night.
>>750744863That is textbook sleep paralysis. Your mind woke before your body.
>>750744930Yeah. My mind. One mind. Me and Him are the same guy.
>>750742884This is precisely why this is the only actual creative utility of AI
>>750744957I know.We are as one.
>>750744971well and breast inflation pornography
>reader, so this monster was so incomprehensible in it's horror that describing it to you would be an utterly pointless endeavor which would drive me mad, MAD I tell you, so I leave it up for your imagination to imagine it, which is impossible btw because it is so incomprehensible in it's nature, but try, reader, TRY and imagine the HORROR, oh if only you couldok lovecraft
I remember talking to myself
>>750745065You're saying that doesn't make you mad?
>>750745065>...and beyond the table stood a figure he had never seen before>a tall, lean man of dead black colouration but without the slightest sign of negroid features; >wholly devoid of either hair or beard, and wearing as his only garment a shapeless robe of some heavy black fabric.ok lovecraft
>>750745540It's a pretty creepy mental image desuUncanny humanoids are generally much scarier than the outright monstrous. Like how the ghosts in Silent Hill 4 so much more unsettling than every other monster in the series.
Lovecraft monsters are just “what if the concept of xenophobia was a creature.”
>>750746983It's a great concept rooted in truth, which is why his works are immortal.
>>750740532The only horror is that toxo in the image, spreading a parasite and murdering innocent creatures.
>>750746983You're thinking of the Alien movies.
>>750747147no that's xenophiliaoften the two sides of the same coin though so maybe you're not far off
>>750745065Yeah but it works and it is scary and cool, and almost always better than trying to explain a creature you want to be scary for every reader. No amount of irony poisoning will change that.
>>750740532That's not what they are thoughThey're more like something like this
>>750743614>>750743139I mean...
>>750744460>>750744863Are you, by chance, sleeping in a witch's house?
>>750747757the name of the monster is xenomorph dummy. you're bad at horror
>>750740701>>750742597>thing works in book>try to change the medium>"why doesn't this work?"It's a wonder
>>750740592T W O
Where's my money?
>>750740532Isn't the scary part supposed to be everybody going insane from looking at it and knowing that no matter what you will also go insane? Just because the viewer doesn't go insane upon seeingbtge creature, its still the danger in the fiction. Helplessness.
>>750740532>>750740701A ton of Lovecraft media bullshit forgets that you're supposed to be hallucinating WHILE you see the squid things. Only Eternal Darkness ever got this right. So yes, some giant octopus monster is, while horrifying, not beyond compression. However, if it's also making your eyes bleed while giving you blood vessel popping migraines as it rapes your thoughts with its psychic presence, that's different.
>>750748065In a way Bloodborne did too with its mechanics
>>750740532It's just bad imagination.How I'd do it is making it non euclidean in an euclidean world, make the character physically blink when looking at it, create a blurring effect, pulse it's transparency and maybe make the mesh wavy.It's still comprehensible but it's in a way that the game makes it a challenge for you as the player to comprehend which also tells you that the character is struggling even more too.
>>750747849This movie fucked me up.
How about the monster is just an old telephone >that's not a monsterexactly. it's beyond your comprehension. what might happen if you pick it up?? who was phone?
>>750744971Reminds me of the early AI pics that really looked like they were about something but you could not actually identify or distinguish-apart any object in them. It mastered a sense of recognition somehow but it led in circles in your mind.
>>750748625reminds me of the early thoughts from humans 200,000 years ago which were kind of like thoughts but not really.
>>750745065Lovecraft's main weakness (and skill) as a writer was he fucking SUCKED at description, so he'd usually half-ass it with something like this which actually worked out quite well because as everyone knows less is more in horror.I'm just curious as to how we went from that to DUDE TENTACLES LMAONiggerman
