    My way of explaining Thalassaphobia: Imagine yourself swimming on the surface of the ocean directly above the mariana trench, and then, all the water surrounding you disappears in an instant. Added bonus, it's night time. How much will you scream before you hit the bottom?

    Some of the weirdest, most bizarre dreams I've ever had involved the melding of two very different, but realistic environments. One example I always give is one I had that was set in an American high school that was combined with an 80s neon light aesthetic Tokyo shopping district. Like the cafeteria was a food court, class rooms were different shops, the hallways were like a shopping mall. Completely unrelated but I think an abandoned airport would be the PERFECT place to do a liminal photoshoot. Downtowns areas are also great early in the morning on a Sunday.

    An interesting thought on the idea of a blind person being unable to understand a liminal space. What about a liminal sound? What if there is a scenario where a blind person experiences a noise as a child and attaches it to certain feelings and sensations, only to hear it much later on in life and experience liminality?

    For me it was the show Life After People and as a result I did think about how to survive in a world abandoned by humans. And I know this isn't your first comment like this but...liminal suburbia off a bike trail, naming a Minecraft thing "Pittsburgh", betting that was the Ryan Homes off the Montour Trail, between the McConnel Tunbel (also known as the National Tunnel) and state route 50. I've literally ridden there! And I used more context than people do for the playground picture.

    A great feeling of megalophobia I've felt is when seeing people go nuts with expanded render distance mods and cubic chunks (effectively removing the height limit for upwards & downwards) for Minecraft. Specifically to get things like the bizarre and *GIGANTIC* landscape in this video (kzread.info/dash/bejne/iYKrt8yRoJrQaco.html) It's so big, and the fact that the player is tens of 1000s of blocks up when he looks over the map, just instills a primal fear of it all. There's SO MUCH EMPTY SPACE, and you're just so small amongst it all.

    I understand how you felt on 2bt2. I've never played it myself. I have a minecraft world. I've been playing it for a while. but as long as it's just me on it, it will always feel empty, no matter how much I put in it. It's because I know that only I will get to experience it. No one else will ever see the work I've put in, this just kills the world.

    I've... Been stuck in a liminal space before, a melancholic tomb But it wasn't a "place", it wasn't a physical location, rather, a text chat. it was my ex's text chat, we dated for a year and near the end of it everything just... eroded, she got swept up in her life, had less time for me, less time for us, and I was powerless to do much of anything, all I could do was be there, in stasis. Obviously there's more to it that I wouldn't babble about here, but what I'm getting at is, the end of it Once it was over she got a new phone, new number, even.. someone else. So there I was, having lost the person I built my life around for a year, she was gone. But... Our old text chat remained all two gigs of it (I've got a phone with limited storage), every text, audio, image, good and bad moment, jokes sat there preserved without context, you could track how our relationship plummeted and lost it's spark, it was a lot.. and I carried that chat with me for another year, I couldn't, didn't want to move on, that chat held a record of what i thought was the best year of my life, but eventually, i had to move on. It's hard to fully describe the melancholic emptiness and simultaneous comfort I felt looking back at that chat, but eventually the emptiness was too much, and had to delete it, all those memories... Gone, with only what I remember remaining I still miss her... I want to go back, I want what we had back, but it's not healthy.. and I know that, so I'll walk, alone, grasping at ghosts of the past yet still hopeful for the future, who knows? Maybe... I'll find another spark Hello stranger, if you read this... Thank you. Let there be joy in your travels, cheers

    Hey. Thanks for the trigger warning at the start. I was expecting a different analisys of dead minecraft worlds and the topics that you talk about produce anxiety on my head... Just for the trigger warning, because its a thing that I don't see very often, I decided to play the entire video and learned and made me think a lot. It wasn't that bad. Thanks

    The place itself does not need to be a non destination to be liminal. you can have a place that is a destination but still falls under a transitional feel. For example the kids pool, its representing a transition from your early youth to your current adulthood, and it is taken out of context by your current age being removed from that past time.

    Despite being quite the opposite of a horror game, Abzu can be an extremely liminal and eerie at times because of the vastness of the world you're in. In my opinion, Abzu conveys this better than either Subnautica game.
