What is the most downright scary thing you have ever seen in Vidya Games ?
growing up in tornado alley was fucking miserable with these, the sky would go green and my mother would be glued to the news and clucking all night as we laid in the bathtub covered in blankets
Yo mama gave me the heebie jeebies
too far. not even close to a proportionate response
Pre-Alpha zerg for starcraft 1
one time my monitor disconnected and i had to see my reflection for 5 seconds
yfw you hear the sirens
going too fast with the time dilation in microsoft space simulator, getting flung out into the empty black at light speed, watching the galaxy and andromeda slowly disappear into a point behind you
pure horror
the sky would go green
greenage
living in a tent homeless
take a walk
thunder and rain but whatever, I like walking in the rain
sirens go off
thunder intensifies out of nowhere
out in the open with nowhere to go
I ended up sitting in a closed library with the staff and some random people for a while. We saw a dumpster slide across the parking lot through a window. It's a real cold wash of terror when you realize danger is coming and you're helpless, I ran to the library through fields like that dude at the start of 28 days later
West coast has earthquakes
Middle has tornadoes
East coast has hurricanes
Is anywhere in America safe?
Go to the desert the worst thing thatll get you there arguably is the heat.
west coast has earthquakes
california does. oregon coast is due for a giant tsunami any day now. washington... i dont know.
First time I've seen an ending like that; it never occurred to me it was a possibility in a video-game.
Even if John (me) could've killed them all there and then they could just keep coming - even meta speaking.
And how that kind of shit is so real: you can't do shit if the government wants you dead or that you past will eventually catch up to you.
is this ai bot shit
Tornado warnings scared the shit out of me as a kid because my parents made a big deal out of it and made us hide in the basement all night with the weather channel on.
As an adult, I basically stopped paying attention to them. I just assume that I won't get hit.
West coast has earthquakes
I don't know why people freak out about this so much. It's not like California is the only place in the world with fault lines, plus you forget they exist because major quakes are exceedingly rare. Most of the time they're little 2.0-4.0 shitters that barely knock your fence boards loose and our buildings are engineered to withstand intense shaking.
The wildfires, on the other hand, are more analogous to seasonal disasters like tornados and hurricanes. Most earthquakes last a few seconds. These fuckers can go on for days or weeks depending on the size.
live and work at Yellowstone for a number of years
become completely comfortable with the idea that any number of natural phenomena could occur and delete me without a care such as
Yellowstone erupting
Bison/elk/bear attack while on a hike or while walking to/from work (or in an extreme .001% chance, a moose, but you have to be in butt fuck ass egypt to have even a shred of the RNG required to encounter one)
Hantavirus due to the mass amount of deer mouse shit in the buildings, the HVAC, etc
Power goes out for an extended period in winter and everyone turns into a popsicle
And these are just the "most likely" to happen that would be factors beyond any control.
What was really unsettling was personally knowing people who perished by falling into the canyon, bear attacks, etc, by virtue of their own foolishness/shit that was 100% preventable by them.
Yellowstone's pretty damn safe as far as parks go but somehow people always manage to find new, dumb things to do there that put themselves and others in danger.

i genuinely can't understand how can u watch tv in the us while knowing that at any time u can get an eas
I remember saw that shit on youtube and I got so scared I couldn't sleep normally for like a week holy fuck

Tornado alley is pretty narrow. My city had a big tornado that they still talk about... in 1975, fifty fucking years ago. We don't get earthquakes, but we do get some wind storms that can cause damage to homes, that's about it. Ice storms also sometimes, not often though. Temperate forests are the place to be.
All roads lead to Gran Soren, Arisen.
Apparently I've slept through countless earthquakes over the last two years of me living in Northern California. I don't know whether to be relieved or horrified that I would most likely die to a super earthquake without ever being aware of it.
For me it would be the hot springs deaths
on multiple levels
nothing compares to this
Black squares randomly popping up on my screen. I thought my fucking GPU was dying.
Turns out it was just the game.
put alarm on the outside of the house
triggers the second the thug steps foot on my property
Problem, criminal?
Why are they so scary anyway? Knowledge that the veneer of safety is pulled away and you are in danger?
that's only south east
north east has some winter storms but usually nothing too hairy
EAS tones were specifically engineered to sound as unpleasant and attention-catching as possible. IIRC, they counted on it triggering some sort of "fight or flight" reflex to ensure the EAS system could get the attention of as much people as possible when it triggers.

Shit's nuts. Don't go walking off the damn boardwalks.
I remember being both saddened and pissed off by the bear attack the previous year, because my friends and I were making plans to hike Elephant Back in the surrounding days, only for it to be closed off and locked down. Wound up doing Beaver Ponds up at Mammoth instead and had multiple uncomfortably close elk encounters, but that's just the nature of Mammoth. Can't even exit a building safely without risking an elk being right outside the damn door.
I live by the Ohio River and we only get floods, the danger of which depends on where you live. I lived in a shitty trailer park when I was very young and it basically went underwater, then my family moved into a house on a hill and never got bothered by it again. Hill ranges make tornadoes rare, hurricanes don't come close, I don't think I've ever felt a noticeable tremor.
space scares the hell out of me more than anything

jumping in on of these for the first time fullscreen on a 42" screen filled me with such a cosmic fear I've never known before
Every single chinese cartoon has these and people swim in them just fine
Somehow american ones are dangerous
Why?
You forgot monsoon season flash flooding places.
Blizzards aren't so bad plus you just need to be prepared. Other places its just RNG if the weather kills you.
Back to the topic at hand, scary vidya stuff. I think giant underwater creatures are pretty scary - shadows of the empire had one, the big fish sharks in half life 1, the leviathan reaper in subnautica.
Most of the horror stuff tries to be scary with gore or jumpscares or frustration mechanics that for me dont manifest as fear but I guess a mild dread and more frustration than anything. Not scary but the things in darkwood trying to get in to your shelter at night and you gotta block the door was neat but I kinda hated the game because of the other gameplay mechanics.
I think SCPs are in general fun and interesting
They're hotter.
anything deep a few meters in subnautica
some hot springs are swimmable
some aren't
usually jumping into one isn't a good way to find out which
He's talking about the ending of rdr1 and how it's scary but the way he's talking about it is retarded
Oh, I see now. Might be ESL
meanwhile everyone says aus is the most dangerous place to live, we get nothing here
be within 1 km of ocean
something stings you and you die
put on shoe
red back spider bites you and you die
