So enjoy!

If you're not careful, and you noclip out of reality in the wrong areas, you'll end up in the back rooms, where it's nothing but the stink of old moist carpet, the madness of mono yellow, the endless background noise of fluorescent lights at maximum humbuzz, and approximately 600 million square miles of randomly segmented empty rooms to be trapped in.

Wow.

God save you if you hear something wandering around nearby, because it sure as hell has heard you.

Damn, that's pretty cool.

This comment changed the game.

No one was able to put their finger on why these images were so cursed.

Why whenever we walk into certain spaces does it feel so wrong?

How can an empty room feel disturbing?

Maybe you feel that way because you're really in a liminal space.

You've kind of briefly left your own world and ended up somewhere else.

Ever seen somewhere like that?

Yeah.

Yeah, I feel like Rory in his IGN days was no stranger to hotel rooms and conference centers.

It's probably worth saying, actually, because I mentioned this idea of a liminal space.

Now, these two ideas of the back rooms and liminal spaces, they get kind of thrown around and combined online because they're super similar.

Yeah.

I had to just clarify myself what a liminal space literally means, because, of course, liminal literally means like in between, I guess, two worlds.

Literally a transition space.

So I didn't realize that's literally what it means is like a hotel room is literally a liminal space is somewhere you go transitioning from one place, one destination to another.
