Looked like a painting at first.

They still don’t look real to me after knowing they are.

Looks like right outta Fallout New Vegas

Honestly, it might have been used as one of their locations. I recognize this house.

[–] mrfriki@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

More like Specs Ops: The Line, if you ask me.

Immediately reminded me of playing Rime.

I'm sure some archeologists in the year 4057 are gonna love it.

There's a classic horror novel called The Elementals by Michael McDowell which features a house which is being slowly consumed by sand dunes. This makes me want to reread it.

Pulls out guitar and starts strumming "See ya later, raider. Back down there in Speranza. Gonna share your mom's lasagna."

The rent is very reasonable but the cleaning fee is outrageous.

I have watched so many YouTube videos on the skeleton coast. Fascinating area of the world.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Is this your original content?

[–] Mustachius_Grumpius@thelemmy.club 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

None of my content is original, is just for entertainment

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

No worries, I was just asking for Best of Lemmy content.

Was seeking the Nier Automata reference

Was not disappointed. Was thinking this was more Housing Complex - Desert Zone

Looks like it would be a photo in a Backrooms Wiki level

[–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Reminds me of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind in the house by the beach in his dreams.
