Why is hypnosis/mind control always so bad in games?

Anything that doesn't just do a bunch of damage is always bad. Debuffs are a meme because bosses are almost always immune to them defeating the point entirely.

Good games let you win via status against bosses.

Actually talking about video games

What the fuck? Post porn you autists

Hypnosis/mind control is bad in anything.

Nah. Hypno seems good at first but 90% of the porn is sissy shit or else just generally degrades the viewer instead of showing a hot chick get mindbroken.

Pokemon's episode where Misty got hypnotised and Haunters were licking her was pretty hot, though.

no source

It's AI bruh

hypnosis/mind control

It's a meme, in real life it's the weakest thing that exists.

It depends on the person. Tilt your head all the way back and close your eyes. If your eyelids flicker, that's a sign that you're vulnerable to hypnosis.

This isn't how hypnosis works, it's just an induced state of hyperfocus, not the funny meme turn-brain-off switch, you can't make anyone do anything they're not truly okay with doing to begin with. A person is only "vulnerable" if they want to be, it won't work on schizoids for example because the subconscious paranoia of being manipulated is too strong to go into a trance state.

kys racefag.

If your eyelids flicker when your head is pointed up, it means your conscious brain can be overruled by unconscious signals, such as those that come from the spine.

Just filter the acronym, you idiot.

You got a source on that? Because it sounds like one of those stupid urban myths.

I heard it from some hypnotist guy that went on the JRE show.

First, that's dumb. Everyone's conscious brain can be overruled by reflex. It's like saying if you kick when hit on the knee you're susceptible to hypnosis.
Second, "Getting overruled by unconscious signals" is not at all what hypnosis is. Hypnosis is hyperfocus; the flow state when applied to following instructions. Weird things are happening in the conscious brain during hypnosis, but it only works because the conscious brain is in control.

This, you enter a similar state when driving, which practically everyone does.

oh, this sounds interesting lets check this o-

vtuber

cmon now. does she actually give a good synopsis? really? I avoid vtubers because their shit clogs up all traffic if you watch just 1 of their videos. if you say its good I'll give it a shot, but fuck I really don't want recommended to become vtuber aids.

Because just Noncon or the girl being a slut are hotter that the boring inbetween

nta, but she used to do actually pretty good hypnosis stuff before she decided to become a vtuber like seemingly every female youtuber on the god damn planet

the human brain limits itself to only 30% of its true power to prevent injury... with the power of hypnosis we can unlock 100% of our potential

mind control isn't real, bro

by the way, you aren't immune to propaganda, you autist

Just watch it in incognito, or scrub it from your history once you're done. She's not that tuned into the vtuber algorithm either, youtube has decided she's an asmr channel instead.

This is the video that covers the most of it, and gives a comprehensive view of what hypnosis actually is, what kinds of things can hypnotize someone, and how hypnosis can or can't effect people.

This is good if you want to try getting hypnotized. The induction works better on people who are more detached/skeptical than the typical pocket watch, candle flame, ect inductions, and has nothing kinky in it, just dropping you down into trance then snapping you awake.
Yeah, it is a shame. I haven't been able to replace her. I had hopes for Stronny, but it seems like hypnosis is too hard for her.

ASMR

Good, thank you. I'm fine with the rando ASMR girls popping up on my stuff. I'll check her out. does she have any good hypnosis practice stuff? its a kink of mine, but I can never really go under. I've got the focus and breathing and concentrating down, but something just won't click.

that's because hypnosis isn't REAL you moran

any good hypno that has the girl drift in and out of hypnosis state while she's getting raped

don't do this it makes mustard gas

Yuri's faction is blatantly busted, likely because of poor playtesting on behalf of this expansion being rushed.

Same reason why you can never see body swap or possesion abilities in-game besides maybe a mini-game at a certain section (unless the game is a porn game), not only is it too broken, it defeats the point of doing or acquiring damage sources when you can just goo all mind-cracker and make the boss effectively lose the fight at turn 1. It also breaks narratives because any of the characters having any such abilities, even hypnosis, or massive hypnosis, means that they, most of the time, should be able to just rush the big bad boss place and win instead of going through a journey with many detours to find a way to win. But they already have it, why are we trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory?
TLDR; The abilities make you question why do you even bother to play any longer, that's a no-no. Therefore, the game doesn't let you have it if it can by just not adding it or making it almost a meme in terms of how bad it is.

I feel like you can immediately tell what someone if asked if he could have any super power and answers hypnosis would look like

Kinda? I haven't gone through her whole catalogue, most of it is too dominant, posessive, or degrading for me. Being told I'm owned or have lost control by a stranger on the internet snaps me out of any trance I have, and I don't really want that out of hypnosis, I really just want to relax and enjoy it than do BDSM. I like soft and sweet stuff, and secret's typical style is more dark and bossy.

But there are some gems. I already mentioned the mystifying induction. These ones are nice.

But you did say you have trouble going under, so that may not work until you have more practice. You really have to go into it with the right mindset, follow every suggestion without questioning it, and put your full effort into imagining all the things she describes. She does really good explanations of what's in the videos and what she'll hypnotize you to do before the video starts, but obviously turning off the critical part of your brain is still very hard when you're doing something so vulnerable, so it helped me to watch through the videos first without trying to get hypnotized, then letting myself go under when listening to them later.

Allegedly fractionation is the best kind of hypnosis for practice and learning the skills you need to be hypnotized, but the videos she did on that and other beginner stuff are older and have lower quality audio. I haven't used them myself so I can't vouch for them like the mystifying induction.

probably like a shotachad

i can't get hypnotized, I think I'm just too aware and because I believe it's bullshit

not real

uh, it is though?
thanks friendo, this looks like some good stuff. have a good night

sissy shit

english

really nigga

hypnosis won't work if you're constantly thinking about how it's not going to work
but it works when you think it's going to work

You could make it a stunning status. Not only do you have to have a character hypnotize the enemy, it has to succeed against their ability to resist, and once they go under, they can snap out of it if they take damage or the hypnotist stops or is interrupted. This would be useful in cases where there are multiple enemies, and you can dedicate one character to stalling the most powerful one until the small ones are down. You can also use it to stall for healing.

Another option is hypnotizing your allies rather than your opponent. At the cost of their flexibility, you could make them resistant/immune to other mind effecting statuses, and give a boost to their stats from their heightened focus.

Super mario odyssey was pretty good though.

Not even that, all hypnosis is at some level self hypnosis. It depends on your focus and submission to instructions. You can only be hypnotized when you are putting an active effort in, and know what you're doing. (Normally because your hypnotist is telling you what you should be doing.)

desu, it's near impossible to get hypnotized if you don't know how hypnosis works. You can't hypnotize someone with just fiat and repeating suggestions to them.

Just gonna ignore one of the best games made in the last decade

that's not even hypnosis anymore, that's literally just doing what someone tells you

desu, it's near impossible to get hypnotized if you don't know how hypnosis works

I'm not sure that's really true, someone could follow a hypnotist's instructions and end up in trance even if they had never heard of hypnosis before

Yeah, that the secret stage magicians and Hollywood doesn't want you to know. There is no mysticism to hypnosis, no magic or secret power. It's literally just hyperfocus + following orders. It's no more special than the tetris effect or highway hypnosis. It still can feel really nice and create some surprising sensations. It takes a lot of work, but some stuff like hypnosis causing memory loss or post hypnotic suggestions really work too. They're just a lot weaker than movies make them out to be, and again, you have to work with your hypnotist to make them happen.
True. That's why I said near impossible. You're only going to be able to do that with a very talented hypnotist. It still gets a lot easier if you have an accurate theory of how it works, and/or have been hypnotized before.

funny thing is mechanically most hypnosis art is just girls making inappropriately silly faces with spiral eyes

hypnosis art sucks in general because hypnosis is just a subjective experience with no real external indication, so they just have to do swirly eyes or something and then have the girl suck a dick
it works much better in writing

you will enjoy your kaaslop

The only time I remember a mind control effect not being shit was the [Universal Remote] in WoW that 'did' let you control classic bosses and elites, including Fel Reavers.
Then Blizzard nerfed it, probably because it was getting in the way of their gay item level system.

Where do I learn to become an effective hypnotist to the point where memory loss and suggestions work?

Name one of your favorite characters who you think would be easy to hypnotize and explain why.

Medli

Low hanging fruit, but it's because you can mind control her with the command melody, and she doesn't mind it. Being so comfortable with giving up control to someone she trusts means she would make a great subject.

Dark Souls' Rapport spell is pretty cool, works on every basic hollow enemy but no one uses it because you just 1-shot everything anyways. I used it to farm souls at the top of Lothric Castle by killing the 3 fat angel dudes by making them 2v1 each other and then just killing the last hypnotised dude myself

You should try to meet people who are already hypnotists and ask them. Learn as much as you can about it and experience getting deeply hypnotized yourself. Then practice like your life depends on it.

Remember thought that success in hypnosis depends on your subject. You cannot hypnotize someone who's resisting or conflicted, and the more difficult what you're trying to hypnotize them to do, the more true that is. Also, your results will be temporary unless you continue to rehypnotize and reinforce the suggestions, again with your subject's compliance and effort.

In porn, Hypnosis/Mind Control sucks because taking agency away from the cute girl makes it less hot.
In games, Hypnosis/Mind Control suck because of the reasons already stated. People will always just spam the strongest attack spell instead and anything worth using non-damage abilities against will usually be immune to them.

In porn, Hypnosis/Mind Control sucks because taking agency away from the cute girl makes it less hot.

Good hypno porn is able to avoid this, and use mind control to bring out a girl's personality and desires rather than just turning her into a different girl.

In the grand scheme of things, Hypno/Mind Control is still a 3/10 tag at the very best. Making others fold without the wooooosh magic trick is so much hotter.

that's not even hypnosis anymore

That's literally all it is, there's no magic or brain hacking going on. The reality is very boring.

I fucking hate disney's jungle book for giving me this retarded fetish
Fuck Rudyard Kipling
Fuck Wolfgang Reitherman
Fuck Sterling Holloway

Hypnosis is a scam

Yes, hypnosis is just LARP with extra steps

I only like that tag because some pieces put out good absentminded and emotionless expressions that you don't really get with any other tag.

emotionless_sex is one of my favorite tags too, so I understand where you're coming from. But hypno still doesn't do it for me.

Emotionless goes underappreciated and it sucks

Stealth gaycation thread

OP's pic proves you wrong

Yui is insanely beautiful

time stop works for me too here

Hypnosis fags give me your favourite scenarios/fantasies.
I think it is boring as fuck so change my mind.

Hypno one guy

He does damage to the enemy instead of you

Hypnosis requires that general mooks are strong enough to be worth hypnotising also being able to hypnotize more than one person is good

Please do not hypnotize/mind control Yui Ohtsuki!

ive been thinking of having a guy turn a girl into an emotionless puppet and he's trying to puppet her around into riding him and doing other sex stuff while being extremely clumsy with it.
i have no $$$ for it though

Basically, the encounter with pic related
But I won't change your mind because you're right

Have you played the game?
She can only get off if her partner is enthralled

common sense change, have her retain her personality

The world needs more consensual mind control

My ideal fantasy is dating a girl that likes being entranced. Sometimes she'd ask to be hypnotized, sometimes I'd lead her under. Once she's entranced, I'd play with her. Make her act like a maid or an animal. Make her think she can't wear clothes, all kinds of fun stuff. Then once it's done, I'd leave her with the suggestions until they wear off, and then she'd get flustered when she realizes what I did with her. I'd train and reinforce some triggers into her too. Stuff like making her freeze in place, or lift her skirt. The ideal is to have sessions where we try something new, and then return to a relatively normal relationship afterwards. Not to have a slave or control her every time we're in the bedroom. Also I'd like to spend plenty of time just admiring her blank expression.

I saw one video where a guy hypnotized a girl with a trigger so whenever he called her she'd run up and rest her chin in his hand. Super cute. No way to tell if it was real, but I like stuff like that.

Based

I think the world needs more non-consensual respect for consent.

Just text gen it. state of the art models are smart enough now to get weird concepts like that without too much handholding needed.

Sounds good. Any specifics?

But isn't that just a more classic dom/sub relationship with extra steps and less fun? I am all about expressions, so just a blank would be a turn off. But the getting flustered afterwards sounds cute.
Is it about control freely given? Ownership of a quasi object?

The other way around. Consent for a lack of consent. There are few things more erotic than a woman wanting to give up control over her very mind.

For me, it's body control.

I think it's funnier if the woman is willing to give up and you just refuse to take control

brain drain

You mean like this?

When you think about it, necromancy is just mind control with extra steps

would be fun as a concept, necromancer class but they just control living people, turn any npc village into your army

Posting in the weirdo thread
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Is it about control freely given? Ownership of a quasi object?

Definitely about control freely given. Hits some of the same notes as casual/romantic bondange.

But also, it is about the sensations of hypnosis. That bliss of mindlessness, that delicate balance to stay within a deluded trance leading you to believe and feel things further and further away from reality. Hypnosis can make you vividly feel things not really physically possible. And that's on top of the feeling of your body moving against you will.

I guess it's hard to sell if you don't get it. It's like wax play. If you've never tried it, it seems like it's just a sadism/masochism thing, but the feeling of hardening wax is something special and very different that you can't get anywhere else.

Ye. I loved code lyoko for it.

common sense manipulation

controlling the body but leaving the mind intact

Necromancy and mind control should stay separated
That leads to kino like pic related freeing himself and beating the crap out of his necromancer until he stops the spell, allowing him to finally die for good

In my late 20s I've realized I'm autistic and have OCD so I'm really controlling and intolerant of anything messing with my perfect vibe and that's why mind control is based

Eve_(1).png - 1240x1754, 1.32M

use mind control to bring out a girl's personality and desires rather than just turning her into a different girl.

...unless it's a character I don't like, in which case it's enjoyable to turn her into someone else while she can only look helplessly out of her eyes, trapped inside her own flesh. The ultimate betrayal of the self.

no game where you defeat attractive evil women and then mind control them into moral upstanding concubines

Seems like a mistake
