  • well yeah, there is a certain feeling you get when you dwell too long in a place not meant for it, like if you’re waiting for a train for hours or your night walk takes you through an industrial park. so there’s definitely a psychological aspect.

    hallways definitely should qualify but i feel like the backrooms did them to death. it worked in the stanley parable because it was novel.





  • i don’t understand what happened to the term “liminal space”. it started out as photos of transitory spaces (“liminal” as in the “limit” between two things) like empty parking lots, or highways at night, or closed bus terminals. places that give you the feeling that you need to move on. then it expanded into “places that should be busy but aren’t”, which i can sort of understand, but now it’s literally any picture with no people in it.













  • yes. it’s not more resource intensive, it’s just doing more iterations.

    and from my measurements, spending 15-30 seconds on max power draw is not a lot compared to gaming for an hour. datacenters use less power per iteration than my gpu, but they run all the time.
