How To Survive Gmod's Liminal Spaces
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 сен 2024
- In this episode of "Where Are We Now?" we explore three liminal spaces and ponder what survival might look like if one were to be trapped in such a place - drinking pool water and eating nothing but corn. Sounds like heaven to me.

Just moved into the second map with my wife and children. We're really enjoying the space. Thanks for the advice Logan.
don't let the little tykes play in that ballpit. Or the slides. Or the pool. You know what just hitch them to a post like a horse.
@@loganfromearth don't worry, we're experts in keeping them tied down. Though whenever we go to Walmart we let them run rampant in the electronics section.
Enjoying the space? Enjoying the... LIMINAL SPACE?!
the irony of a skeleton informing the viewer of the survivability of empty locations
Hes a veteran at it
I mean who else than someone who knows exactly how not to survive.
The wisest person in a field of inquiry has often made the most mistakes.
tbf I'd trust an amputee to tell me how to not lose a limb
Skeletons tend to be trustworthy though.

@@gearandalthefirst7027 It's my house now 💪
This series has quickly become one of my favorite things on the Internet ever
Fr I love this typa shit so much. The source engine is like a 2nd home to me.
Hey it's me again! I see you found another one of my maps, "Places from your Dreams" I really enjoyed your video and thought it was really interesting how you gave your thoughts on all of the liminal space maps. It was also really interesting how you would rate the comfort of some of the rooms, as I had that idea in mind when creating the map, having cozy rooms where people who got lost would live, especially that room up the stairs with that bed couch. Fantastic video!
Thanks for watching, bro. As always, your work was an absolute treat.
I, for one, welcome our new avian overlords.
My skills include:
- giving scratches
- thick limbs suitable for perching
- enabling capitalism for the ruling class.
I have also project managed the construction of at least one pool
Ok interesting bit about the backrooms. The concept of the large subspace of infinite levels is actually the original backrooms, or what the original backrooms turned into. Way back when the backrooms was just that one picture people started to theorize and craft what other levels would be like. Pulling from phobias to surrealism to liminality, and so on. All of it combined into what is functionally an SCP style collective writing community. This lasted for years, and basically became the thing people only ever saw the backrooms as. The singular level of unfinished office space kind of took a back seat to everything else as the wiki grew and grew into a glutted realm of surrealism. However, once Kane Pixel made his backrooms video the mentality of the backrooms basically crashed back into said singular level. Now we’re slowly getting back to that wiki as people try to innovate, recreate, introspect, etc. on the Kane Pixel style of backrooms. It’s really interesting seeing the gears turn with the community as new things take center stage.
Also crazy thing in the everdawn map. There is a room that I 100% remember being in. It was that lodge with the outlook onto the mountains. Now obviously this is a memory warped by time and replaying it over in my head, but that lodge with that layout of shelves, benches, and tables are exactly how that memory feels, and that look out is just as if you pulled the murky image of what was once there right from my mind. It’s honestly insane that this was able to perfectly encapsulate what my memory of that moment felt like.
those damn bird people
Villains.
for real
2:51 - 3:26 This sounds *exactly* like a rant straight out of Freemans mind. He would absolutely be paranoid of bird people...
Edit: I take it back, this entire video is filled with Freeman's mind energy
"The owls aren't watching you you're jsut being paranoid."
The thing with the sauna is you sit there, sweat and sweat and sweat until you can't take it anymore, then you go to the next room and pour a bucket of ice water over yourself. Or if it's winter and you're on your own property, you can go outside and jump into snow. And then you go back to the sauna just to warm up or to sweat some more.
Trust me, it's an amazing experience, not even kidding here. My better half, who happens to be African, said it was one of the nicest hidden achievements of her life. :D
I need 7 pillows. 3 for my head, 1 for my legs, 2 to hug, and one for the elder gods 😊
DAMMIT I forgot about the elder gods. Put me down for three then.
This makes Sense as elder gods don’t have gainful employment and as such might need a place to stay (and your a hospitable guy) but also have very small heads only necessitating a singular pillow for all of them to share (they sleep in a large circular bed with the pillow being at the center most point)
i love how calm his voice is
Can’t believe you’re almost to 10k! Congrats
Thank you! Might do a q&a or something. That's what people do when they get followers, right?
You know, I wonder why my brain is so drawn to this kinda video, the ones where others explore dream/liminal maps. I think it may be, at least in part due to my own inability to dream, so I can't just... Play them on my own, but need someone else to act as a vehicle to express their thoughts/feelings about the maps themselves? It's weird
I kinda know what you mean.
I appreciate that he randomly gives reminders to do stuff in the video, like checking your posture or updating your drivers :D
you know something you haven't thought about yet for survivability (at least I think imp only halfway through the video) is that eventually all the lightbulbs are gonna go out leaving you in pitch black for most of the map. you could remove the bulbs from those lamps in the outside portion of the restaurant and save them for later but that's only like 5 lamps which isn't a lot. being in pitch black for most of your life could lead to you going insane but at least you have that source engine infinite battery flashlight. also the corn farming room and weird wizard tower could be used as a good light source.
Yeah I consider the power sometimes, like in Liminal Gallery 2 in the second episode, but it usually slips my mind.
I forgot about the fact that the flashlight is somehow infinite, what kind of lore is there for that lol
if we're talking about lights i don't think the gmod flashlight factors in
@@mr.teobruh977 maybe its crank powered?
These are the kind of Golden videos you find once every year
This is the kind of guy that I would love to just sit down and chat with. Definitely love this guy.
the desire to live in one of these places just to see what you could do
21:31
That Stardew Valley music was a nice touch!👌
Hearing the save room theme from RE: Dead Aim works so well to set a mood for these kinds of maps. I'm surprised anyone else even KNOWS about the game!
Thank you for your continued videos about these maps! They're super intriguing and have inspired me to dust off GMod after over 5 years.
Yeah I have a personal quest to play every RE game. There are dozens of them. They all have great soundtracks.
The feeling you described in the beginning of the video, a mix of sadness, nostalgia and satisfaction, we have a word for that in Russian. Тоска (toska). You can pronounce it as toss+cup, without the p, ofc. I think this word perfectly encapsulates that peculiar mix of emotions.
That's extremely cool. Linguistics is so interesting.
I don't know if Minecraft is something you're interested in but I think if you tour surreal maps might be interesting. Modern maps can be really cool and do interesting things with commands. I especially think old beta Minecraft's lighting engine has a very strange liminal feel so looking at old maps might be neat too. Even if this isn't something that interests you I just want you to know I love this series and can't wait for more! Keep up the amazing work
I'm so happy I found your account, I love your vibes and your fun anecdotes. I spent a large portion of my childhood fucking around in single player gmod so it's great to see other people exploring maps too!
3:51 : Sans waiting to issue your judgement
I love this videoooos, you are my comfort yt channel. PLEASE NEVER STOP
I love your vidoes, I usually play them in the background while playing something as the way you describe things makes me feel as I don't even need to see what you're talking about to visualize it! Always a fun watch
34:30 It feels so dang good to do a little stretch after staring at a screen for a long period of time. It's that one feeling that I want to catch and keep in a jar. Anyways, thanks for the reminder! I am so eager to watch this series whenever I see it on my feed.
these videos are probably the most relaxing ones ive found on youtube, i like to watch them before going to bed :)
Love how both of these videos have had a lovely cabin at the start of one of the maps now. It's becoming something of a vibe, and I like it.
these videos are so relaxing on a nice night, you sound like a friend talking about what you love :)
i just love ur videos dude. the amount of time and energy and editing that goes into these, not to mention how often you put out is awesome, please continue this series!
Thanks for watching. The pace at which I make these will definitely die down a bit when the fall semester starts in late august, so enjoy this while you can!
@@loganfromearth hey i know that feeling lol. good luck with the studies homie
i love this series, just take something you like, in my case coffee and chocolate, and enjoy this
Love the vibe of these videos and the fact that you edit and cut things to maintain the calm
When i saw that title i was like "yeeeeeeah", was really looking forward to more of this!
I cannot believe how instantly I fell in love with this series and channel. After this video, I watched all the others in this series. Keep doing more like this.
This skeleton sounds like the forgotten third brother of Sans and Papyrus, and I mean that in the best possible way.
I may be a day late, but thanks Logan for videos that accompany me while coding at 3 am.
Quickly becoming one of my favourite youtubers
Lovely as always. The thought put into each map while exploring it and the sincerity of considering them in-depth like any other piece of artwork is refreshing in an age of so much irony and cynicism towards the arts, and the commentary just gets better with every episode. Your commentary got several hearty laughs out of me, and "This can't be hell, I don't see Ronald Reagan anywhere" was absolutely fantastic.
The main problem with relying on corn is that, by itself, its actually mineral deficient. You have to 'nixtamalize' corn to make it healthily edible, which requires cooking it in an alkaline substance. Traditionally this has been either wood ash, lime water or even crushed seashells. If you're really careful you might be able to use the corn stalks as a wood ash subtitute, but I wouldn't bet my life on it.
I am blown away by how good this is! It's simple, introspective, and a little silly. This could easily have been some half an our overly artistic shit fest that ended up saying nothing in the end. But here, none of that. Just some chill exploration that encourages me too check out some good maps.
Thank you 🙏
Hey, love this series of videos you've been doing! Architecture and spatial design often go unrecognized and I really appreciate the liminal space people for helping us consider mundane areas as important to our collective experiences.
18:20 I wouldn't say the source image is exactly like anywhere I've been, but it has "hey go downstairs (undecorated basement) and hang out with your cousins/parent's friend's children" vibes which I've definitely experienced.
Yeah it's strangely familiar, somehow.
"Are we in hell? Nah, can't be hell, I don't see Ronald Reagan *anywhere*."
i gotta say your style of videos and the content you produce just keeps getting better and better. keep it up man, you're doing great :)
Your channel always reminds me of the librarian’s videos. I love your content :)
god honestly your voice is so relaxing i love this series so fucking much
@@TheGwenStacyShow Thank you ❤️
Yes the places from your dreams map! It’s fantastic
The game abiotic factor is just like someone saw you explain how to survive on maps and made an game over surviving in like one of those building maps
You keep doing you. Your videos really capture your targeted audience and you deliver your work with such quality and humanistic dialogue. And your voice is relaxing 👍
Thank you, I will
Another video from my comfort RUclipsr, Nice
Love this series, and also, you deserve WAY more subs, like at least 50k
Aw, thank you! We might get there someday.
The way you talk about reality-breaking dreamy places as if they were just a normal Tuesday really reminds me of SCP-6320. It's actually explored pretty well in the Find Us Alive podcast, but you really nail the details of survivng them. Always happy to see more from you dude!
Sounds like I have a new podcast to listen to
Honestly fun and relaxing watching your content. Keep up the good work. :D
Commenting for algorithm cuz I love these videos and want them to do well
I'm not the only one who thinks he speaks like Freeman's mind right?
The second map reminded me of something, then i remember that it was the inspiration for one of the levels of capture the intelligence
Honestly you are one of the most entertaining youtubers I've seen lately. And love the concepts of your vids. Keep up the good work!!
Yet again just what I needed. I will literally watch all of these. Thank you again Logan from Earth!
No thank YOU
If the chance ever arises you should explore the "Organism" and "epilog" part 1 and 2 worlds in vrchat. They are beautifully built and intriguing
@@ToxieDrop I think I will :)
@@loganfromearth awwww yeaa!
I absolutely ADORE this series!! I know I keep repeating myself but I love hearing your thoughts about this places, how unique these thoughts are and I love the sound of your voice. Overall, this channel was such a great find!!
It's good to have you around. Thanks for watching and commenting :)
It's always exciting to come home from work and see a new WEWN episode. (Other vids are awesome though too, I love the Futurama vid.) I save these for late nights so it took me two days to finish this one ha. Hope you keep making vids man!
@@Mycotecture Oh, I will, don't you worry about that. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for the posture check, I always forget while I'm watching stuff, it was really helpful
15:53 Minutes in, and this place is extra spooky for me as I had a moment in a real dream of mine walking through a blood red forest kind of like this, but more along a path than an open space, and things were a little more fleshy looking than just red-shifted.
Creepy...
Love the atmosphere of this video
I love old liminal city maps, like a city pulled from the early 2000s,
That feeling you might have felt around 4:20 might have been. Pride. The fact that as you put it, another civilization remembers us so far in the future gives you pride that our race still matters in some way.
this makes me incredibly happy thank you
I not only want to make one of these Maps but also a gamemode that focuses on survival, adding food and water to it. Will definitely be a coding nightmare
finally! logan video!
havent found myself genuinely waiting for an upload before
this series is immensely comfortable to me, thank you :)
36:20 VOIDPLACES EASTER EGG???? that's SO COOL, this map really was reminding me of voidplaces
your voice is rather soothing, it fits the whole vibe of the video topic lol. i really enjoy these videos of yours!
5:45 This bit reminds me of Ross from Freeman's Mind
i dont have a dream journal, so im gonna put one from a few nights ago right here. me and my sisters seemed to be a bit younger than we are now, and our mother had just dropped us off at some guys mansion, and we were sitting in a small room by the entrance. at some point, the guy who presumably owns the property tries to steal my moms car (which she left the for some reason?) and i threaten to call the police. i go inside to do just that, but instead try to escape out the back with my sisters. outside is a massive patio with deckchairs galore, a whole cookout setup and a pool, and behind that is the F***ING EVERGLADES. we try to cross it but soon enough some goons come after us. i try to sneak us through but they spot us and send us back to the lobby with their high-velocity projectile weapons. i rewind to just before the escape attempt and instead just leave by myself and this time i make it through the swamp-jungle to a small nonsensical house on a small paved road through the trees where two other kids are hiding, *just up the hill* from the car thief mansion guy's *exotic* backyard, and one of the kids has his own high-velocity projectile weapon, and i eventually find one too, in the 'several smaller pellets in a larger plastic shell' variety. the next day, im walking my uncles dogs(???) through a suburban neighborhood, which our weird little shack is backed onto. come night again, an agent of the mansion/compound finds us, we throw him to the floor and i begin to use "enhanced interrogation techniques" on the hooded figure, until he stands up and tries to fight, and i use my "recreational tool", which has by now turned into some sort of zipper-book? zipper-bag? something of the sort, which you load your *recreational* twelve-gauge pellets with and fire with buttons, and stops being a living organism. me and the armed youths exit our domicile to find many residents of the afforementioned compund approaching our location with tools of violence. my imaginary self inflicts wounds which cease the life functions of several imaginary enemies, and after exhausting my self-defense weapon, i run off to the side of the battle, towards the right side of the mansion. there i peer through a window to a room i recognized from another dream or another perspective of the dream. i continue to a previously unseen spiral pool to the side of the compound, where i am spotted and i hop across it, the pools occupants trying to grab me from within, i climb a hill to the front yard, dawn breaks, i blend into the mob. they follow me around, looking for myself (?!) i lead them into town, i spot a police car, i stalk it a ways. when i lose the mob i chase it down and get in. i tell the cop what happened and he just starts yapping at me. suddenly im in the backseat, hes still yapping. then hes in the backseat with me, he pulls out a MAP OF THE BALKANS, CENTERED ON BULGARIA (?!?!?!?!?!?!?!) and then the story ends, with presumably the compund raided and my sisters saved. the boys from the cabin long forgotten.
sooo uhhh, astro-spiritual girls of tiktok please tell me what this means
That was a wild read.
@@loganfromearth i know. it was a wild experience.
Logan always posting these bangers
You know I just had a thought, you might appreciate the game Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead’s built-in backrooms mod. With some modification to make it have no zombies, it very much is just the original backrooms and having to survive in it. Whilst iirc there’s the slight benefit of randomly generated caches of food and stuff to be found, one could always turn item spawn rates down to make things more a concern.
Weird, never knew CDDA had anything like that. I've always been more of a Zomboid guy myself, but maybe I'll check it out.
@@loganfromearth It’s a newish(eead; been in for like a year) thing. As a neat change of pace from the base game it’s interesting, but definitely not something to play outside of a few gimmick playthroughs.
I love the first map using Yume Nikki music, always love when people use it it has such haunting feeling
It really does.
always in need of more liminal space content, huge W
Always love a RUclipsr who isn’t afraid to swear these days under Susan’s reign.
Love these vids, your commentary and editing is superb
I'm glad :)
man, i love theses videos. i remember watching your first video in this series when it first came out and it was genuinely one of my favourite videos on this platform. i wanna say thanks for making these videos, they really help me calm down when im getting anxiety.
I love your videos logan, your vibe is so chill, i could probably listen to your voice for hours
These videos are great, always a treat to see one uploaded after a stressful day, which with how fast life comes at you is surprisingly often. Keep up the great work brother❤
Your anecdote at the start of the video has inspired me. Not sure what I'm going to do with that inspiration, but I love liminal spaces and I love libraries and I never really realized you could have both in one like that. Maybe if I ever make a videogame about surviving and making a cozy little home for yourself in an endless liminal space, I'll add a library level.
Today is the final day before i head home from vacation so i can't sleep, this really helps :)
I enjoyed this video a lot! Well done.
I don't know if this was an intentional (Or even subconscious) inspiration, but some of the random hypothetical rants in this REALLY remind me of Freeman's Mind (and I guess just Ross Scott's writing style in general), especially the one early on about the hyperintelligent bird people
My mind just goes a lot of places. I did watch a lot of Freemans Mind growing up, though, so it definitely influenced the way I read scripts.
Also you can substitute the toilet for a composter any container will do which will help fertilise the soil used to grow the corn
Please keep doing these type of videos. I absolutely love the way you explore them and feel at ease listening and watching as you go through these unknown passages. Subscribed!
I was literally sitting in my chair like Mr. lazybones. No regrets.
how does this video only has 580 views ??? This video is brilliant
Probably bc I uploaded it an hour ago. Let me cook.
@@loganfromearth my bad , i didnt see it was uploaded an hour ago😅
10:00 hearing yume nikki snow world was lovely
poolrooms give me holy reverence feelings
i was gonna listen to you talk but now all i want to do is watch funy mushroom dude
You gotta be the most underrated youtuber fr
"Nah, Can't be hell, I can't see Ronald Reagan anywhere" 🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥
that one scene with yume nikki's OST gave me the chills
9:47 YUME NIKKI MUSIC :D Snow World and it's slowed to perfection! ^u^
Another great video as always, Logan c:
Also, thank you for having the song titles in the description. Even though I knew this one, if I didn't have you wouldn't have typed them there, I would have been distraught 'cause it's a beautiful song
😄 More RUclipsrs should have every title down there x-x Have a good day! :3
Yeah the song matched really well. Haven't played yume nikki before but now maybe I will.
this kinda how i wanna start doing youtube i love this type of stuff and others love gmod :)
