8:28 This isn't from a video game, this is an actual hotel. It's the Crowne Plaza London Heathrow T4
😮
Woah. Never would have known about that. Thanks. 😁👍
I actually can find liminal spaces unsettling or comforting. It really depenends on my mood, lights, whether the space feels familliar to me. For example, I find empty parking lots at night unsettling, as I would probably feel very vulnerable as rather weak, alone woman. While some of those are comforting and relaxing. It's also interesting how many people from Europe and other parts of the world do not feel this connection to certain architecture typical only in the US. We can only have some familiarity from American movies, but don't share as much of this nostalgia, as we never experienced it personally.
Yume Niki was mentioned a few times in other Super Eyepatch Wolf videos, like I'm pretty sure he mentioned it in the Undertale and Fake Video Games videos as inspirations for the works he showed.
And the RUclipsr Gobou keeps the Yume Niki Fandom alive with his awesome animations.
One of the things that gets me about liminal imagery I see a lot like Dreampools or hallways is that the most uncanny ones never have anything to sustain life. No water coolers or fountains, no potted plants, no places to sit, no handrails, no vending machines, no sign of any temperature controls or light switches, no magazine racks, no clocks, no calendars. No actual control or way to interact with the environment in any meaningful way. Nothing to pass the time while there or tell what time it actually is.
I can't see the source of light out the window. Is it sunlight? or is it artificial light? I can't reach the window for a better look. How long have I been here? How much farther was it? I'm getting tired and my throat is getting dry. I could sit on the tile but its always slightly damp and not cold enough to cool myself down.
I shudder just imagining it.
Its like hostile architecture but instead of making only targeted people uncomfortable it makes...anything human uncomfortable.
8:29 Fun Fact!
This is not from a video game, but is a location in real life! It’s some part of an airport, if I remember correctly
33:05 😐this is going to sound sad but all of these Liminal Spaces and The Backrooms were my childhood when i was younger like single digit to mid teens i was helping my family work painting/remodeling in these places, home schooled in empty houses, malls after closing time, dorms, hotels, doing teardowns. even now i feel safer in these places and when i was in the Army these Liminal Spaces and Backrooms, abandoned urban areas were where we trained a lot and feels more like home than home. just me 🤔
That's probably more on the comforting side he mentioned. This is more familiar territory, so it makes sense if it's more comforting. 🤔😁👍
@@Airier i would love to exist in eternal present. Nothing but all to live in nothing but every hall and room that conects to an empty wall, just me and those who hide betwen the doors
21:10 Hilbert's hotel
14:48
there are several companies named skynet as well as 3 military satellites
20:05
That infinite hotel hallway image reminded me of that one doctor who episode with the fake hotel and the minatour-like beast.
That was such a cool episode.
I love that Arier is reacting to this Supereyepatchwolf video its obe of my favorites and is pretty underrated in terms of reactions just like my favorite game of all time in Stars and Time especially the Jello video
44:10 i remember reading about this "game" the game maker was high on LSD or some other thing and wrote it all down and made this 🤣
plus iirc that game got a big remake/revamp in the last 2-3 year - think did see some other youtubers play that game
though this is the first time for me seeing anything from the original version of the game

7:58 , Yeah. Let's all just kick back, relax, and crack open a Corona Light beer.
Don't you mean a Cervesas Crystal?
What do you mean I missed the joke. I don't covid what you meme?
22:55 the ending of Donald Duck in Mathmagic Land vibes
... This is the first time I've ever heard of that. 😮
@@Airier a look at old Disney ruclips.net/video/hl6JDv4ZG7U/видео.html enjoy lol
I never heard of Liminal or Margin before of being a middle ground, but I feel like it is similar to the 'uncanny Valley' that can be in some videos. Where something has a almost real and yet not real resemblance to the human body. We see these things in CG where someone created a character with realistic proportions and textures but its slightly off to make it feel a bit eerie. I know one such picture going around to explain it would be a stuffed bear with human teeth.
The way he talks about Liminal, it sounds like what sets off my anxiety, a unknowing of the future and the 'uncertainty' of what my choices will make. If you take it in that way, then if you look at a possibility map (within a game or any branching future/Universe theory), then all the lines that you put into there for the different choices are also considered Liminal from one defining point A could go to multiple Bs and its your choice that will choose what B you go to.
This explains why I was so drawn to a picture of a side walk going through a large grove of trees going out into the distance.
The enjoying something another doesn't just reminds me of ASMR videos and how I don't like them but others do.
The horror of liminal spaces is dissociation. It is a defense mechanism i have dealt with to the negative side.
to paraphrase the fear of liminal spaces "You are not afraid of being alone in these spaces. You are afraid of not being alone in these spaces."
I guess the reason why I don't feel as terrified as you are with these images is because of how mundane they are to me in a strange way. The lighting can make some of them creepy and there are some that could creep me out if I think about it more, but all these images to me have their own beauty. They are mundanely beautiful in a surreal way. I like that.
Edit: Add the fact that the images are lonely & seem quiet. That's something that can be peaceful or serene.
8:20 this place is real. Its an airport hotel in london
And the original backrooms location was actually found. It was a long demolished building in oshkosh wisconsin that was turned into a Revolution Raceway
Woah. I'm actually curious how that managed to track that down after it was demolished. 😮
@@Airier Farrel McGuire made a pretty good video about it.
Fun fact a Minecraft’s did make a pool bathroom dimension he removed the end replaced it with his trapped his friends in it then made a even deeper lvl that’s dark af and has giant angler fish that eat you if you fall into the wrong chunk
Waiting for Godot may be a bleak play, but it's also very funny. I saw the movie version and I still rewatch Lucky's speech all the time
Being in a hallway or luminal space is like being in limbo.
Normally, your pausing doesn't bother me, and I understand it's necessary for this kind of content. However, there were moments where the pauses felt almost stuttered, and I think you missed some key bits in S.E.W.'s narration. "Liminal Spaces" are all about the lack of context.
Those dark and shadowed corners? You were so close when you said they were hiding something. That "something" is the underlying story, and I believe those liminal photos are meant to convey a feeling of ambiguity. "What is the wider world where this image fits in?" "Why am I here?" These questions are answered by the broader narrative, but the photos alone don't provide that.
It also seemed like you latched onto the word "Horror" really early on. These images aren't necessarily "Horror," much like the uncanny valley effect isn't "Horror" by itself but in our understanding of what comes next. These images are similar to that. That "Dreamlike" quality he talked about? It covers both good dreams and nightmares. Have you ever tried to map out what happened in a dream, what you did, and where you went? I often find myself thinking, "This makes no sense. This space would never fit inside that building," or something similar. That's the missing link in these images. How does this fit into my reality, and why does it feel like I've been here even though this place doesn't follow the rules of reality?
That's why everyone gets different mileage out of these liminal spaces; they hit that feeling of nostalgia. Like that image at the end with the diner booth-it feels like a liminal image that evokes a feeling, superimposing all memories of anything remotely similar and averaging them together. It's like taking a photo of a person you went to high school with every day of their life from birth to age 20, then putting that in a video so it looks like the face smoothly morphs. Now invert that, show the reverse, and loop it, and you'll see a video that feels like you've lost the thread. Everything looks right for a bit in the middle of the teen years, but it also feels "Other," like this isn't how you remember this person.
I have serious depression, and I experience nostalgia not as a fond memory but as something I lost and can never get back. So, I get the feeling of both nostalgia and existential horror so much that some pictures, if I think about them too much, can bring on panic attacks. I understand "Liminal Horror" quite well, but I also understand that my experiences aren't universal. I can appreciate what an image can make others feel.
Sorry for rambling, but I felt you might have missed a bit of the beauty in what Super Eyepatch Wolf was talking about. This world needs less horror and more beautiful concepts. Anyway, I love your coverage of Eyepatch's videos and look forward to part 2.
A lot of my thoughts on liminal space art is DEFINITELY influenced by my own cowardice. I scare easily, so the vague unknown in the dark spaces creeps me out even more than anything horrific actually could.
It would make sense if you've heard of Yume Nikki before. The impact it has had on non-surface level popular culture is... difficult to overstate.
finally, this is my favourite Super Eyepatch Wolf Video
42:16 The Complex is not VR. There's a curve in the visuals because your player character is holding a camera.
Looking forward to your thoughts on the next part of the video:)
haha you spelt remember as remeber wahahahahaha.
also, FINALLY. ya should also see Everywhere At The End Of Time. the deep dive video, not all of the album since its 6 hrs long. its about dementia
Gotta fix that title. 🤔
@@Airier finally, got the grammar down. considering the everywhere at the end of time deep dive idea?
If you're interested in some video recommendations for later, Nick Robinson has a some:
This Is What a "Second-Person" Video Game Would Look Like (since you have done English stuff, it's something you might find interesting)
I visited the infamous "Church of Maizono" (just go into it blind, trust me)
It's pronounced something like 'sow-in,' because Gaelic is spelled specifically to piss off the English LOL
Airier watch my house.wad inside dooms most terrifying mod by power pak
