5:41 The background music is a slowed down version of F2 - Drifting time misplaced from Everywhere at the End of Time! I could recognize that melody anywhere!
About dreams and music... One of my favorite things to experiment with in lucid dreams was to find a tv and switch it on to MTV or just pull out a mp3 player from my pocket. Some of the music it came up with was really great.
37:28 Your description of how this map feels sounded exactly like the experience someone with dementia may have. I had been thinking the music and overall feel reminded me of Everywhere at the End of Time! I have a feeling this map was at least partly inspired by that.
17:46 Man this whole sequence is like a dream: You walk into a big room and interpret it as the house's front door room (hall, living room, whatever). Dream logic says that you must reinforce this idea, so you "open" the front doors, obviously, while also completely ignoring the fact that's a wall, not even bothering to change the moving parts to a proper door image. That is not necessary, however, as to keep reinforcing this idea of this being the front door of your home, you get a visual of the outside - and what's more outside than rolling hills and a road? To make sure it's a road, your dream plants a road sign - a random STOP sign that makes no sense in the world, but it makes sense in your dream. Road signs belong in roads! I just love how dreams like to focus on adding more things to reinforce the current idea in your head, rather than refine the already existing ones. Then again, they seem to prioritize what you feel is more important, so giving the hall room a set of big double doors that lead to an obvious outside is way more important than properly decorating the hall itself. It's like a little kid telling you a story and skipping all the details, and I find it fun how much it diverts from what you're taught about storytelling.
best idea. i own 2 vr headsets.. but to do what Chris does, you need a good pc and a pcvr headset and some patience and sanity for setting up gmod vr. Gmod vr was a pain in the ass for me to setup sometimes but its pretty simple. (though, my vr setup cost me $4000)
The thing I always think about are the places I would rest, the places I would sleep or the places I would find warmth or comfort of the outside world, if one even existed anymore.
The part where you entered that weird room in thr backrooms and you said like you feelt like you were there in your childhood I felt the same way and I remember why, I had a friend when I was a kid like 6-7 years old and the colors and atmosphere of his house was the freaking same as in that room, I remember he was quite rich and he had one of those racing car shaped beds on a huge room for him, his house had a red carpet and even a fireplace (very very weird in my country), at this point I can't tell if this memory is a dream or a real life memory, his home reminds me to something straight from the Betelgeuse movie.
I wonder if musicians are inspired from music in their dreams. An interesting concept, if someone reproduces music from a dream. It is composed by them while also not. Kind of a limbo state. Copying something that is self made without a conscious decision. i'm an engineer and if i see something in my dreams and rebuild it, whose idea was it?
@@hyperturbotechnomike Ooh, this is totally a thing. I love REO Speedwagon and try to catch them when they're in Indiana on tour. Kevin Cronin, REO's main songwriter, always tells this story. The chords for Keep on Loving You came to him in a dream, he wrote it down as soon as he woke up. It's now probably the most recognizable soft rock ballad.
@@hyperturbotechnomike i've written down a couple of songs from my dreams but i don't think i have yet actually directly composed a song based on one of those songs lol
Gotta say that this is one of the best liminal space maps I've ever seen, although honestly it would have lost a little without your narration. Had to pause to write notes for a short story halfway through. Thanks for posting and hope you're doing well!
You know, imagine a liminal space, *in space*. like...taking the inside of, say, the International Space Station, and making that a liminal space. Or some sort of rocket ship. All liminal spaces I've seen only utilize spaces on earth, when there's, a couple of good opportunities to create a liminal space, as stated before, in space.
21:35 You're just not going to acknowledge that you left a flooded office space with an intentional barrier for water? 30:00 This feels like a backwards version of the upstairs hallway of my parents house when I was very young. I think the walls may've been a light gray or blue maybe but it was so long ago I don't remember. 35:40 That paisley floor looks like pizza. Kinda seems like a cozy place to have a bunch of friends on voice chat with. 38:38 Opportunity for a speedrun of this like Doom 2's The Chasm. 45:54 There's no sink that's not an ideal bathroom at all. You should do daily skims over the gmod workshop most recent maps. There isn't that much daily output. Like 1-3 pages.
31:00 this is so intense to me. This is like getting lost in the late-hours in a convention center, only to find an unlisted display or panel waiting to be set up, where you feel like you're not supposed to be. Really brings all the memories up of childhood train and lego shows, and also of the cons/events when i was older
That reveal at 4:45 is just so cinematic and gorgeous! It felt like walking into a Holy space with the tall ceilings and the clean white aesthetic exposed to a brilliant splash of light.
I enjoyed watching you playing this GMOD Map. The Music was so relaxing. The Developer of this Map did a really good job. Hopefully they have more Maps.
One day someone will figure out how to make your reflection do something unnerving, like move independently of you - or better still, climb out of the mirror and chase you!
gmod is a source game and source games are terrifying when playing alone take portal for example delete glados and then you would be unnerved source games just make it feel like you’re being watched and you’re not alone it’s something that’s unnerving and comforting at the same time
46:09 - I use to live in a place that had a narrow tiny room, like slighly wider than the toilet its self, a tiny window and a sink opposing the toilet, tbf there was something oddly nice about a seperate toilet room other than the fact it turned into a furnace in the summer.
I noticed some of the music is from the caretaker, the album is about dementia and the loss of memories, so alot of what the librarian was saying kinda was right on the nose lmao
10:37 those look really similar to the buildings on gm_construct chris you might want to go back and shine your flashlight on some of them, they might have the same textures
this map has the best songs 3:48 cool calm music 5:45 creepy muffled and distant music 10:35 creepy cool music 14:14 old sad music 26:54 sad music 29:14 also sad old music 31:44 cool classical music 34:04 also cool classical music 36:10 another sad old song 41:57 BEST PART: heavenly/gospel-ish music? 48:04 creepy ambient music
I totally understand why these are made for PC, but why are they available for playstation but not Xbox? These are made from Microsoft and then given to the playstation! But not Xbox. Does anyone else notice this?
for me, it varies. The yellow halls of the backrooms have gotten boring, same as the pool rooms, but the liminal spaces in those weirdcore pictures, like the suburbs, those hit me in a way the others plain don't.
it's one of many novel spaces I enjoy a bit of, but too much of any one and too little of anything new just becomes too familiar to no longer evoke the same feelings. The familiar but unfamiliar becomes just familiar and loses all of its feeling.
I still find it funny that people in GMod are finding themselves terrified of pretty much empty spaces when they have the power to summon any weapon, character, object or something else literally out of thin air. We're basically gods in Garry's Mod and yet we still find ourself getting scared of these spaces.
It’s because gmod is a source game and source games are terrifying when playing alone take portal for example delete glados and then you would be unnerved source games just make it feel like you’re being watched and you’re not alone it’s something that’s unnerving and comforting at the same time hope you understood that
And liminal spaces are something whole different they are meant to be scary but comforting at the same time as well as give you memories that you never had and are meant to look nostalgic
i recognize the song from the first portion as KV31 from kane pixels' backrooms OST... it works so well with a poolrooms setting i began to listen to the music and recognize more of it, leading me to find out all music is listed on the map's workshop page

"But... no door at the end. I don't know why, but somehow this is even worse than a lake of fire. To be given all that and find nothing. No passage, no entry at the end of it all."

I like that as soon as you express your sense of security, the map just drops you into the backrooms.
With the amount of times thats happened he needs to make a compilation

30:43 I also think you can hear this part of this particular song in K1's second moment of clarity.
About dreams and music... One of my favorite things to experiment with in lucid dreams was to find a tv and switch it on to MTV or just pull out a mp3 player from my pocket. Some of the music it came up with was really great.
Oooh, I should try to do that!

It doesn't only remind it, the music that plays at 29:20 is one of the musics from the album.
Instantly recognised the music from the poolrooms as KV31 by kane pixels, or so i think. Awesome reference.

if you do I would highly recommend pico neo 3 over meta quest headsets (ive owned both)
The thing I always think about are the places I would rest, the places I would sleep or the places I would find warmth or comfort of the outside world, if one even existed anymore.
the way they did the lighting i like a lot, im glad librarian brought it up cuz i immediately noticed that.
The map feels like a movie, transitioning between music and energy in each room
9:18 comedic timing as always
19:45 sweet, yume nikki ost

Whenever I hear music in my dreams, I always make sure to make a recording of myself imitating the music when I wake up.

that music in the beginning was made by Kane Parsons as part of his Backrooms series ost!
"the music fills you with determination"
{4:15}
"save "quit"
If only I could be as descriptive as you are. You really paint the picture with how you describe the environment in all your videos.
This map stands out just with the background music. It's awesome how much can be done with so little :)
I love these dreamcore liminal spaces
46:09 - I use to live in a place that had a narrow tiny room, like slighly wider than the toilet its self, a tiny window and a sink opposing the toilet, tbf there was something oddly nice about a seperate toilet room other than the fact it turned into a furnace in the summer.
Every time I see a window in this video, my flight or fight kicks in, because I remembered that in the backrooms, some of them may be entities.
This was an awesome 55 mins! Thanks Librarian. 👍
A key factor of dreaminess is there’s water teeming on the ground or pool
Water indeed adds much fun,entertainment and security of cleaning all the stuff

How can you be so certain that what you feel is due to the space rather than anything else. It could be something sinister or the power of suggestion.

There are also other kane pixels songs in there

There are some but not nearly as many and not nearly as in depth as something like this.
