>>12631394Nobody knows, just post a random picture of some abandoned building and say "Wow so liminal fr fr no cap" to keep up the impression that it's an actual word, like everybody does.

Bubsy 3d.

>>12631449This is correct. The word has an actual definition but it's kind of a stupid concept and has nothing to do with how people use it. I'm pretty sure it has more or less started meaning what we used to call "atmospheric"

>>12632419It means broccoli hair and being offended on other people's behalf
>>12631394empty rooms/spaces, especially ones that would feel normal when populated, but off when empty
>>12632432ZDS.
>>12631392A lot of early 3D games, especially on the N64.
>>12632419>feathersAt least it's not a kilogram of steel, now that'd be something
>>12631394is't like something both supraliminal/subliminalsomething that triggers your subconscious and your conscious at the same time
>>12631394The only real constant is urban spaces without people. Generally anything that's a mundane deliberately designed place that has either been removed from its original context or has been designed in a way that seems to make no sense. Generally creepy/sentimental images sometimes just get lumped in anyway as long as they hit the first two criteria because no one really knows what the term means.Also early Shin Megami Tensei fits, as well as literally any survival horror. Games are actually full of this shit given that they often superficially try and look like real places but will have nonsensical or counterproductive architecture in the interest of challenge.That's my attempt at a serious answer on the shit-flinging board anyway.

>>12631394Take an office building. Now remove all the people from it. There you go liminal.
Streets of Rage 1 feels kinda liminal to me in that you go to a lot of places that would normally be populated but aren't, largely because it's at night but also because of all the recent crime/violence. Streets of Rage 2 as well but not as much because the enemies are sometimes hanging out before engaging with you so it feels like the area is populated. Maybe using a beat em up is cheating but consider the fact that the Final Fight games are anti-liminal.
>>12632435This lol
>>12631392Marathon Durandal and Infinity in the surreal water biome levels like picrel and Strange Aeons
>>12631394have you ever been to your school at night, when there's no students and barely any people? you remember how that feels weird? well, that
>>12633387I used to think "sweet I can skate this place now without being disturbed" if you were scared visiting your school at night then you are a fag
