Haven't finished the video yet as of commenting, but I really like the vibe of A Mall Near You! The retro vibe mixed with the well-drawn sprite characters is really cool! it was just oozing with charm for lack of a better term lol, i always love the dead mall vibe, and the dialogue was fun too
@mom03675 ай бұрын
The blinking gorilla statue in the first one made me randomly remember this dumb reddit post asking if people would rather be trapped in a mall with a gorilla or 3 deadly snakes. Also any mall with an Auntie Anne's is an alive mall in my book. Addendum 1: Funko pop backrooms is true terror

As a child I coped with being scared of monsters and the dark by somewhat breaking the seal between real and fake. let me explain, I tried to make small talk with the darkness under my bed to try and get on it's good side, and I also just thought to myself that if I'm asleep its "illegal" in the monster world to hurt me. I knew monsters aren't real but i did all those things as a "just in case" kind of thing. It's nice to talk about my childhood it's so nostalgic no matter what it's about

Thoughtform, eh? Seems like people are making games based on the Greylock analog horror. Maybe the Librarian should cover some analog horror if he hadn't already in the future. There's some pretty creative stuff out there.
@EffeminateCowardlyVillain5 ай бұрын
Not necessarily. Thoughtforms are an occult concept based on the power of belief and some other topics I dont feel like anybody asked me to discuss. I dont know what Greylock is, but Im an occultist so I immediately understood the meaning of the title, and the game setting/plot and mechanics further emphasize that meaning. Either theyre entities the child *created* due to their intense fear, or theyre entities that were drawn to that intense fear to feed off the emotional energy, but either way it's an invasion of the house by negative thoughtforms.

The last game was so unique! What a cool concept! The second one tho is too relatable lol, I remember years ago when I would sit up in my bed for hours on end, struggling to turn off the light because I couldn't stop imagining what was beyond the edge of my bed. When every sound and the shifting of the sheets would have me bolting upright to turn on my bedside lamp. The first game came really close to that paranoia I used to experience-- and still do occasionally.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but Thoughtform Invasion seems to be at least lightly inspired by an analog horror series called Greylock! One of the entities in that series known as Thoughtforms (or Tulpas) are created out of highly concentrated feelings from the human mind For example, if you fear that there’s someone in your closet long enough, then you may just create a REAL person in your closet I’d highly recommend Greylock, it’s one of my favorite horror series on KZfaq right now and there’s a lot more to it than what I’ve explained here

I've seen another game similar to "Thoughtform Invasion", but I can't remember what it's called. In the game, you similarly hold your eyes closed with the paranoia of something potentially approaching. But the whole point of that other game is the commentary on paranoia-- because opening your eyes is actually the only way you can lose/die. By holding your eyes shut the entire time, ignoring your fear and paranoia, nothing happens. I thought that was the same approach the game in this video was taking, but I'm not so sure after seeing the ending and other people's reviews.

Bro that takes me back - the pokeballs with the button on the side that open, and inside you can fit a Pokemon figure. I don't know what happened to the original ones from (insert year here). I never heard about a recall though. I suppose anything a kid can swallow will have parents up in arms. They've re-released them though and they're much bigger. No interest, but definitely nostalgic.
@austinhinton39445 ай бұрын
The old BK Pokeballs caused a little girl to suffocate when she put it on her face and it created a vacuum around her mouth and nose. So they were re-designed to have a hinge. Same reason why pens and LEGO minifig heads have holes in them. To prevent total blockage of child airways.
