Subtle supernatural horror is my fucking favorite.
It doesn't spoon feed you the scare, it doesn't cheaply jump scare you like you're a fucking toddler incapable of understanding danger like most low quality films and lazy video games do.
It simply brings into your realization a certain primal fear that something isn't right, and you can't explain why.
It's unsettling because you don't know for sure if you're going to immediately die, which makes it even more frightening.
It's called uncanny.
Thanks, this was my exact intention! I'm glad you like my shitpost!
What are some good games like that? I'm not a big fan of the jump scare horror games, so I tend to ignore most horror games on principle, but the genre is still fun when I find a gem.
Not exactly what you're asking for, but Subnautica slowly builds on a primal fear without resorting to jump scares. It's increasingly unsettling and you start finding excuses to just stay in your habitat to decorate instead of going outside. Possibly the best horror game I've played.
Life is strange has elements of it (think Butterfly Effect: the game) during parts of the game, although it gets pretty explicit rather than subtle.
Oxenfree also has elements of it, with people behaving weirdly etc. But it also mostly gets fairly explicit. Still, no jumpscares.
The beginning of Subnautica is already too intense for me. And you think I'm going to swim over to the creepy shipwreck!? FUCK no. Game over.
Heh, I don't know that I would have put subnautica in that category, but I can see where you're coming from on that one.
I might check out life is strange, thanks!
FEAR, no I'm not kidding.
Try playing voices of the void. It's free and it has quite a bit of psychological/supernatural horror stuff
I completely agree, but I've never been able to articulate it this well. Do you have any scary movie recommendations? I've got a feeling we have similar taste.
Aaaaaaaaaaaand that's exactly why the opening scene of Juon: Black Ghost/White Ghost made me scream like a child. The dread that rises up when something doesn't feel right. There's no build up to a scare...it just slams into you full force. Only movie I ever screamed while watching. Only happened once....but good God. We had to pause the movie and laugh for about 10 minutes as both me and my sibling both screamed.
Has Mirror technology changed

Were you trying to kiss yourself in the mirror?
I like to think that he forgets, keeps trying and then makes a new post about it
Yeah, but not on the lips.
Oh, hey Niel!
Lmfao that post was right above this one
I know you're going for creepy buuuut I read it more like a dude who doesn't get what a painting is.
I thought this was talking about DuckDuckGo mirrors, as in a software mirror of the site.
This is actually really interesting and I think about it every time I look in a large mirror. IIRC it is because the mirror is always "halfway" between you and your mirror image. So as you step back your mirror image gets further away and looks smaller, but so does the mirror.
Right, but this only works if you have DuckDuckGo set as your search engine.
Now don't look at the lamp next to your sofa too closely.
Huh, never saw this one but in high school I had a dream just like this. I met a beautiful woman, perfect in every way, we got married had some kids, I even got some ways into middle age. Then, I was sitting in chair and noticed that my vision seemed... blurry at the edges, in a very "vignette filter" kind of way and I immediately knew I was dreaming. Woke up just as the existential collapse started. For several years after I'd try to remember her face, what our love had felt like, any of the details that had seemed so solid and tantalizing real for those few sleeping hours.
In retrospect, a lot like that Rick and Morty episode with the life simulator game. I wonder if one of the writers ever had that dream too? Brains are weird, and I haven't any dreams nearly that all encompassing since.
I had a dream like that about an ex. Everything perfect, house, kids, the whole thing. It felt like one of those super realistic dreams too. I woke up and got a panic attack that fucked me over for 3 or 4 days when I realized it was just a dream. Human psyche is scary as fuck sometimes.
But you can't kiss a duck on the lips from the word go. Just ask Neil Degrasse Tyson.
the universe has forsaken me at DuckDuckGo
It's because you are a vampire and mirrors are no longer made out of silver. Just good old aluminium.
S TIER CONTENT RIGHT HERE
Yeah, that's not a mirror. Say cheese!
Its a basic physics thing. You see not more of your body when you take a step back. That is normal and expected.
People just don't understand mirrors.
I did a horrifying experiment in uni with a mirror on the wall, and asked people to point at where they thought they could see their reflection . The obvious answer is of course "when you're next to it". A terrifyingly large number of people at a University assumed they could see themselves at a 45 to 60 degree angle, so several step before they actually reached the mirror.
Some of them were even shocked when they walked along it.
Mirror technology timeline!
Chirality 'n' shit.
A mirror's primary surface - a metal like silver that has just one electron sticking out alone in the top atomic orbital, plus other free electrons sliding around the surface, I believe - absorbs photons, then re-emits new photons almost exactly like the ones that came in.
That's not just you, my reprojection mirror also has a fixed field view since the latest firmware update and the fuckers locked firmware downgrades so if you didn't jailbreak yours beforehand, now you can't and you can't change the fov to more than 1:1
No doubt because they're about to release a pro version and that will be the only reason to pay extra for it.
Oh, you know it's October when we're bringing the spooky shitposts out. Like, I have spectrophobia, and I've had actual nightmares about this shit happening lol.
I don't get it. What is spooky or scary?
I thought it was just a funny joke.
