which scp is this

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

So you're saying they're even worse than Cybertrucks?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

I could actually go for some countless centuries locked in an alternate realm. I might finally get some sleep.

If you like this kind of stuff, play Pacific Drive! Especially if you have a Dualsense controller—it works on PC!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I would but I am so sick and tired of the gather/craft/survive genre. This game feels like work, and I already have a job.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I wouldn’t recommend you get this game then, it sounds like it’s not for you!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

But I like this kind of stuff... 😭

(edit: just not that kind of game!)

What makes the dual sense special in Pacific Drive?

I got the game and played through steam deck with a pc render farm.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The adaptive triggers and fantastic special haptics reeeaally rock in some games—Pacific Drive and Returnal are the two that I’ve played that had my experience enhanced the most by them. The triggers rumble and resist your press lightly. Driving, you feel the bumps of the road in different places of your controller, and the brake feels like a real car brake feels.

I think I need to hook my pc up to a monitor to experience that. But I will definitely try!

Thanks for the explanation.

And now, the weather.

God, this is brilliant. I wish I could upvote twice.

Although, the whole thing about not crediting the artist kinda sucks.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

It does, but it's also typical.

Here's the original image in not burnt out low res meme quality:

And the post with a comic somebody made of it

L0stvegas is a disabled artist who paints some really cool surreal art and often has their work reposted without credit, so check 'em out!

They also have a fascinating story of the local door to door meat salesman who regularly goes around their neighborhood.

Ugh. It feels like something is groping around my skull.

someone hasn't played silent hill 2

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Bruh I lived and breathed silent hill

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

oh I only played 2 (and 2 remake)

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I mean, what are the SCP recommendations??

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Well, if I had to guess, that third one is safe for us to look at through a screenshot.

If we ever come across that specific captcha we need to [redacted]

Is this a literature genre, like “routine cosmic horror”? Like it’s basically the real world with Lovecraftian horrors being real, but instead of driving humanity mad, it’s just one more annoyance on top of everything else going on.

I remember Canary Island Lanzarote - the Timanfaya National Park has this black lava scenery, that goes for MILES. Just random black rocks, fortunately there is a sea.

Once, we wanted to stargaze with SO, and I remembered that there is no possible better place to do that than a large plane without a single light source.

Unfortunatelly, it was cloudy that night, so we had to drive for half an hour back.

It was the most surreal part of the vacation. Dim lights from the car, scattered around vague black rock formations for miles on end. Everything was silent, I would not be suprised if we got teleported to another dimension. Just black rocks on each side, menacingly moving behind us, never ending, just silently cruising by us.

I read Lovecraft, but never really understood his early stories, like Dagon, until I drive thought there. My mind was running wild making up stories in that scenario.

very non-specific answer but SCP is a fictional institution tasked with [REDACTED] circumstances like the OP.

https://lemmy.world/c/scp is the local thing, there's a wiki there and here if you want to dive into endless content, nobody owns it

I came into the comments with the term "casual cosmic horror" on my lips, and the same question. It's such an enjoyable juxtaposition of themes.

Here's another favourite:

Got sort of a Night Vale vibe to it I think. I'd love more of this kind of stuff!

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Don't you hate it when that happens?
