I didn't know they made liminal spas

Hey this is a Portal level!

Why does this make me incredibly uncomfortable

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago

Iono, it's kinda neat, but it makes me kinda nervous and claustrophobic too. It's a borderline liminal space, it feels hollow and empty and samey even though there's a person in there.

Stop peeing in the pool then. It only happens as a chemical reaction from the urea interaction with the chlorine.

we're definitely not thinking about the same thing then. Maybe that's not chlorine? A freshly filled pool has the smell

Because if you have a problem while swimming you cannot easily get to the nearest edge and get out - the sheer wall prevents this. You are committed once you leave the end of the pool.

But what if I want context?

I think around here they're called communities, rather than sublemmies.

In the comparable subreddit, context was allowed in the comments, just not the title. Personally, I appreciated it many times. However, I understand forbidding it could enhance fascination.

Sublemmies is a fun name tho

Praise Kier for this blessed pool

Limited areas to hold on to if something goes wrong.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

Reminds me of certain pools in the sims...

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I swear there was a game with areas exactly this.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

Has a Portal vibe to it. There are electrified pools of water there sometimes, and the minimalistic walls fit too.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

I don't know if it existed in the game but this reminded me of og Tomb Raider for some reason.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Yeah this a Tomb Raider vibe.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

What was that game recently where you just walked around and it had water and slides?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Can't decide if cool or claustrophobic.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Coldly claustrophobic

Tomb Raider remaster looking cool with ray tracing

Picture IC? Picture Icture Cture?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No, "pic" would be short for "picture." What does the acronym PIC stand for?

So, there's this neat thing called caps lock that's on older keyboards. I have my keyboard configured so it works like a second shift key, but on non-configurable ones, it just keeps it all caps until you hit it again. Super annoying, really.

I believe I literally had a nightmare like this once.

Minecraft vibes too

This is what the bathroom from the house on Blue Lick Road looks like after renovation.
