Here you'll find gaming videos on interesting games that typically don't get tons of coverage. You'll find (ir)regularly uploaded game guides, commentary, news, rants as well as summaries of titles.
The genre of the game doesn't matter as long as there is something interesting about the game to share.
After reading these comments, I’m starting to think it’s more common than we think… I asked a few people and they said they can’t either but I guess I’ll do it for the rest of my life and see what gets the majority
I always played with Ice main and toxic secondary, and i had a friend who was a wind main and lightning secondary. We would be in the heat of battle mixing our attacks because of all of the crazy combos we could make. We were unstoppable.
This is exactly ME! I only recently learned my experience isn’t a shared experience. I learned it’s called Aphantasia It’s always complete blackness, and I have no inner monologue. And like you were saying about your coach that said imagine you’re shooting the ball My moment of awakening is when I learned that when the method of falling asleep “count sheep” wasn’t just a saying. People actually can see a herd of sheep and they literally actually count them. I always thought counting sheep meant just count out load to 100 and you’ll fall asleep before you finish counting.
I’ve seen visual images when I close my eyes…that were clear, focused and in color only a couple of times without trying and not under the influence of anything. For me, it was like one of those magic eye posters you stare at then…boom everything becomes so clear and detailed. When I try to visualize something…it never works and usually is just random things I try to see that just pop up for a millisecond. I don’t wish to master this ability for fear I would never be able to rest my mind when I close my eyes.
I was searching the "screen-archery" meaning on the internet and click into this video. I didn't aware this video was made 7 years ago (2023) but it still very relatable to Skyrim after years. Nowadays I play Skyrim more toward to take photography than gameplay and it never get bored.
SureAI isn’t a thing anymore, they all separated for the most part and only a founder or two make small indie projects that aren’t related to previous projects.
This is as best as i can describe what Aphantasia is like for me So your in your bed but can't sleep you try and imagine a dream but you can't... Your just stuck inside your eyelids, no matter what you do you just can't get to your mind (Im not sure if this has anything with Aphantasia but...) When I read a book I have to read it over and over and over but you can only remember like 3 sentences... Sometimes my school has plays and it takes me to the nearly to the deadline to remember (wich is usually 4-5 weeks which is a long time) BUT i thought this was normal only today i found out
Giving Nehrim a try has me considering buying oblivion again. Last I played ESIV was on console. But Enderal was so so so good... I just started my second deep playthrough of it, and I plan to really take my time this go round. Great video; I wish more people talked about Enderal.
YES, this is a game that I will MOST definitely add to my collection this evening, because this combination of polished and wellplanned game combined with a huge amount of game time, at a price of only 6 dollars (right now on sale in Europe) is too much to resist for me (I normally buy Switch games for just 1-3 dollars or so because I buy so many that paying more would quickly devastate my economy completely).
These are the quality of life details that I wish Eastward and moonlighter had. For eastward it would literally make it my favorite game, also the ability to go back to previous areas to complete tasks that weren't possible before obtaining a certain skill or ability. THis is so important in rpgs for me.
I like reading. I always have. But I never saw images while I read. I always thought that ‘imagining’ something meant to think about it. Not to… see it. When I close my eyes it’s a weird mix of red, purple, and black. There’s also green afterimages of light sometimes. Never any picture or image. I was surprised to learn that people can actually ‘see’ things. Reading books was like taking in some information and completely disregarding/forgetting all details about appearance, because that didn’t matter to me, as I couldn’t imagine what they’d look like anyway. Even when I write, I always forget to write about what the character looks like, because I never thought that much about it. When I think of someone, the last thing that’d come to mind is their eye color or hair color. Really, I don’t remember anyone’s eye color at all, except obvious features, like how my whole family has brown eyes.
They really ought to preface those damn guided visual meditations with a preface that if you don’t have the ability to visualize, then it’s best not to listen, because I always found those guided visual meditations, which I tried and Van to do during the pandemic to try to get to sleep to be the most frustrating things because I would just be scratching my fore head and trying to picture whatever Valley Stream or mountain and getting frustrated because I was just concentrating on listening and at the end not falling asleep!
This was great. I’ve only met 1 person w aphantasia and most vids have been deep dives into science but not much on how they processed their experience. I also had a meltdown and a great deal of sadness as it sounds like a magical power. We’ve had the same struggles (like can’t “leisure read”) and took awhile to accept that people can conjure up images, tastes, smells. It’s insane! The dream experience you have is fascinating! I’ve never heard that. I’m able to put myself into sleep paralysis though, once you get out of the fear it’s pretty cool. It’s funny when people mention their hallucinogen experiences until learning about aphantasia I thought they were lying about their trip to get attention but hey I guess that chick wasn’t lying when she saw herself as Cheshire Cat creeping around the room. Now that’s a trip!!
I turned 30 this year... And just learned this was a thing. All these years I assumed this was all a metaphor, you didn't actually see things... Little did I know I was just different. Honestly I'm having a hard time dealing with this realization, no matter how much I learn other people are the same way, I can't help but feel defective... And broken...
Be careful about thinking too far into it because it can be very easy to cast it as the villain of your different shortcomings. The truth is that up until a few years ago people didn't even know that this crucial difference between thought processes existed... meaning it most likely doesn't affect, hinder or cause meaningfully different outcomes... at least to a point where it would have been noticed, discussed and end up where we are now. (For reference when this video came out Aphantasia wasn't even a word yet). You can find people who work with 3D modeling, artists and other very creative endeavors with aphantasia. At this point having been involved in research and countless interviews around aphantasia and the presence and type of a "verbal" inner monologues... I feel that in the case of imagery, sub-vocalization and inner monologues... they are all just software your brain uses to translate concepts into something more easily understood and for some (us), we never needed it to understand or think in concepts and so we never developed that software. I love the example of speed readers needing to train themselves to NOT read internally as that slows them down.. and I think of that in terms of imagery as well. It helps that my wife is heavily visual and so I used to bug her all the time to see the perspective from her side.. and even to this day I think it's crazy that someone can essentially "hijack" her entire thought process by the mere suggestion or description of something that her brain forces her to visualize. "Don't talk like that at the table".. is just as relevant as "Picture the ball going into the basket". No matter what I say I know that the whole experience can be jarring and disorienting and I think that's just something you go through no matter what when learning about this stuff, especially so late.
Are there videos with real people who can visualize pictures and remember details? I really, really want to know what being able to visualize people and objects is like. I can't, and for my whole life, I thought it was normal until I found a true crime RU-vid channel with a woman who has aphantasia. Since she couldn't physically visualize what she was talking about, she showed actual pictures and video clips and went into so much detail about everything, that even though I couldn't picture what she was saying in my head, I still had a crystal clear image and had no unanswered questions, not because I pictured them in my head, but because I physically saw the images and videos, heard the vivid details being spoken and was able to put the pictures together as I saw them. I can't visualize people, animals, or objects, so if I hear a word or name, my brain just throws together one or two details I can remember about the subject. For example, I'll hear someone's name who's very familiar to me, and my brain will come up with a vague image of the only details I remember seeing in person, such as glasses and curly blonde hair. No face. Even if I've known someone for years and have spoken to them very recently, as soon as we part ways, my brain will forget details such as freckles, acne, nail length, nose, eye and mouth shape, clothing, etc.
@Fevir I've tried those. They aren't always accurate, and most of the time, they charge money for more uses. I can't create images from scratch, but my brain pulls images and scenes I've already seen in pictures and movies. If I read a new book, the only way I can kind of visualize what I'm reading is by watching the movie first (if it exists). Otherwise, I'm only focused on the words and their definitions, and the scenes appear dull, uninteresting, and bland.
