    Abandoned websites have always had such a somber energy to them. The idea that someone devoted time to coding and sharing their website only for it to be left a ghost town always leaves you wondering what happened to the creator

      I feel that with a lot of things wether it's old websites games cars toys even irl abandoned buildings/houses there's a certain curiosity about the history behind the object but for my main example we'll use buildings and as such there are questions like who lived/worked here? Where are they now? Are they dead? What was their life like? Among other questions I think that's why I like post apocalyptic media wether it's movies books games heck even some good old table top/ dungeons and dragons campaigns I've been in have evoked such feelings and I think the feeling stems from the fact of our humanity like whoever was here whatever they did helped push us in whatever way to where we are now for better or worse and to do that they had highs lows successes and failures and it's bittersweet to think that once we're gone the next generation will have similar thoughts then there next generation will and the next and the cycle will repeat until either the end of us as a species or the end of time itself there's an old saying I don't remember it fully but I remember this much and that's
      "Don't go quietly into the night"
      And I live by that statement and I implore others to do the same if they read this far don't live a life of mediocrity(I believe that's the word?) Life your life to the fullest because one day no one will remember anything you did except for the universe and it will keep that history in its very being I'll leave you know with another quote one I'm much more familiar with from a very special piece of fiction that I love and here it is
      "Be safe friend and don't you dare go hollow."

      I'd love to imagine sume crusty dusty old server center maintained by some old man like a living museum. In reality as long as the bills get paid, or the site is on a free host, or simply forgotten about, it all gets moved over when the servers upgrade. So most likely all these sites are now running on 21st century hardware.

      I can relate to that. It's how I feel every time someone brings up how a Nintendo 64 or PlayStation game feels "weird" or "off" to them. Like, for example, I can never stop feeling lost or confused every time I see someone bring up how Super Mario 64 creeps them out.

    • @user-zc4br7yt4i
      @user-zc4br7yt4i Před 6 měsíci +25

      It's the never ending cycle of "Something comfy is made", decades later "We can make something horroresque by taking something people normally like and making it creepy.", eventually leading to people that never experienced the original saying, "Man, that stuff is so creepy, why did people ever think it was normal?".

    I love this series. It reminds me of how weird the internet used to be. In many ways how naive and free it was. I really miss the old internet, a lot. So much more personality in everything. So much more connection.
    Sure, there were problems but nothing that doesn’t still exist today. Arguably it’s worse today and harder to police without ruining things for everyone.
    Corporations really destroyed the freedom and creativity of the world. So much potential wiped away for profit. It’s makes me really sad to think about.
    I’m also happy that someone is delving into the weird and strange things from back then. I’m happy to see someone chronicling it. In an ever shrinking internet it’s actually refreshing to see.

    The vampire website intrigued me, I found a local club that seems to still be active. The meeting time and all. The location isn’t dedicated to the club, but seems to be an actual bar. I’m surprised it was on the official website. I checked the address and the bars name was rapture. I left an inquiry about everything, and whether they were even aware of being on the website or if they noticed a different clientele on the meeting day. Here’s hoping!

    Back in the early 2000s a book was published. Vampire Encyclopedia. Huge book full of history, media, resources to more in-depth writing. I used to have one as I was just like these guys. Funny thing about isolating yourself because you think you’re a monster, isolation leads to you not speaking your ideas out loud and your biases grow. I had to give all that stuff up one day, stopped wearing so much black and trying to hide from people. Turns out we all share these “vampire” traits because they’re more or less human traits being scoped out through the “I’m special” filter we all seem to have when we’re younger.
    I used to believe. And while the idea is fun to think about, it leads nowhere but all that in-fighting between friend groups.

    Video Request:
    If possible could you do a video on the obscure game known as "Gingiva" there aren't many videos on it but from what I understand based on the walkthroughs the game holds a very interesting story if you look past the art style. You play as a woman who has a wind up key for a head and she works in a factory until the owner sends her to jail. You befriend chattering teeth who helps you break out and fight different enemies throughout the game. The owner ends up sending a bunch of different enemies to bring you back and take you to a different facility where you get made into something that looks like Pills.
    The game's fighting style is similar to what is found in final fantasy, omori and undertale. You also end up befriending other creatures but they don't stay long.
    At some point when her original head is found you befriend a gun and the ending depends on who you pick which is the teeth or the gun. The game has two different endings but to me they don't really look that different.

    great video! it's nice to see more content of people actually exploring worlds as opposed to going on about how "creepy/weird/haunted" it is; it's a game that deserves a more nuanced discussion. i hope you'll do another video on some more of the custom worlds as well - you get a mix of both new and old user-generated content and it's absolutely fascinating. kinda like mini time capsules of the internet. but i'm rambling now lol - keep up the great work!

      @@ExpertContrarian tbh i'd chalk some of that up to it being a fear of the unknown, but beyond that i agree. i think it's just easier for a lot of people to point out how "weird/creepy/scary" something like worlds is because it gets views and traction. but in the process you lose the historical significance and creativity that lies within it. worlds has a pretty niche, yet active community for example; there's also a wide array of people who play it [& have been playing for decades]. it's just a shame to see people reduce it to nothing more than some weird/creepy section of the internet - not to say it /CANT/ be weird, but you get the idea.

    I remember I made friends with a person who had figured out how to get out of bounds, I vaguely remember that you could save specific locations as teleport points, and you could travel to other people’s positions.
    This happened to me when exploring outside the animal house.

    Constant issues with technology and a bad habit of being awake at night? Guess I'm a vampire then. But also not a vampire at the same exact time, since it looks like Steven enjoyed using "yes, and also no" as a response. Can't help but agree with Sacrow that this dude sounded like your usual gothic LARPer. Had his own biases about what vampires are, and then saw them in himself later, while also trying to pass it off as a natural discovery and not just living a fantasy.

    Just found your channel thanks to the other abandoned internet video and I'm hooked. When I was a kid I played a game called Furcadia (never was a furry, but I didn't have many games and my buddy's older sis had it on their family computer and the name stuck with me long enough I ended up playing when I was 11 or 12) and for some reason I got curious and hopped back on just a few months back. Seeing places that used to be full of people, some of whom stayed friends outside of the game for lufe (One of whom I'm currently engaged to in my 30s), so empty was definitely a liminal experience. Almost made me sad tbh, even though I definitely encountered things child me never should have on there 😂

    I played worlds for a few months with my ex in the late 00's and while mostly abandoned there was always a small club of regulars with one dude always using some creepy animal skin, I forgot what it was a deer or something. he'd also often teleport behind you while you were alone exploring worlds and barely ever spoke, usually only in riddles if he did. once a week or so you could enter a quiz with the mods and other newbies and if you won the quiz you would get gold membership for a week or two. exploring worlds was pretty awesome.

      She is even called the Slayer, sure some vampires survive the encounter with her and I like Spike, but being a vampire in the Buffyverse isn't as awesomely Twilight esque as one would believe. I'd rather be a sparkly super vampire than a Buffy vampire, because being a Buffy vampire sounds plainly painful and you're not even you, unless the demon possessing you decided it wants to get the soul back, which is excruciating and unlikely for a demon to do

    When I was in middle school I found a book on vampires in the school library. It was a documentary type of book, with the author exploring the history of the vampire myth, the popularity of vampire fiction, and even mentioned the vampire subculture of the 80-90-00's. On this particular subject he wrote of how he took an interview from two individuals - a man and a woman - who claimed to be vampires. He described them as 20-30-something, wearing all black, and one of them (I think the woman) having floor-length hair. When he asked them if they wanted some blood to drink, they said that they'd prefer a mixture of tomato and orange juice, claiming that it was the same thing. :D

    Just came across this video; knew a bit about the Worlds stuff but was pleasantly surprised by the coverage of vampirism.
    The vampire subculture craze actually predates the Twilight films, and had it's first peak in, I'd say, the late 90's and early 2000's, with Buffy the Vampire Slayer taking off, the popularity in goth culture, and the big resurgence in new religious movements. If I recall, the "vampire lifestyle" even received some media attention at the time, commenting on such things as the sharpening of teeth. I mostly experienced this community in a tertiary way online at the time, through my interactions with the otherkin community and research into non-human identification as well as the occult. The main conceptions I saw were the idea of vampires being human-divergent and having an energy deficiency, that required some sort of feeding process to correct, whether via blood or a psychic energy.
    While I am loathe to criticize or diminish others identifying in this way, given my own very idiosyncratic identity, I can see a rational, anthropological approach to the concept that would argue it is a result of cultural trends, alienation and emotional need. There is also an argument to be made for mental health as a contribution, as I know of at least one case of a self-Identifying vampire making statements that closely match those of the Cotard delusion. And of course there's the well-known Renfield syndrome.
    As far as is known to me, the subculture has a far diminished presence, and I can't recall the last time I met someone who identified as a vampire, despite my frequent interactions with those whom identify as otherkin and therian. The web presence seems much reduced as well, and I can't even find the major vampiric House whose website was so informative. I do believe the vampire clubs are all gone now, just as goth culture seems to have lost the prominence it once had.
    If you do decide to cover the topic in depth, I can recommend a few sources I have and found useful. Belanger's "Vampires: In their Own Words" is an excellent collection of both firsthand statements from members of the community and differing perspectives with critiques of it. Konstantinos' "Vampires: the Occult Truth" is more dramatic and a bit sensationalist, but also includes firsthand accounts from self-identified vampires and more coverage of the folkloric basis for vampires, as well as modern cultural and speculative instances (current as of its printing in 2010).
    I still find this subject fascinating, and we even have the concept of "voidpunk" now, a concept of identifying as non-human that is stated to be directly due to alienation experienced by certain minorities.
    All that said, I enjoyed the video and hope this finds you well. :3

    Okay so as weird as it is the sneezing thing probably has a fairly logical explanation, there's a number of people who, for some reason, sneeze when they get turned on because like bodies get wired funny, so it's probably one of those things where it's pretty likely that the wires get crossed really easily even if your body doesn't inherently have the reaction to sneeze when things get sexy

    There was this old website my friend and I found (around 2007 or so) where people logged their super powers and their super power names. We would put up dumb joke ones but people on it seemed like they were serious about their powers. I cant find it and cant remember what the name of the website was. You should try and find it and document it!

    The best guess I have about the dead body in the Country music room is. When I was in HS my friend told me that Country music is linked to suicide as it’s the most depressing genre of music as they are always talking about a relationship ending or something similar in the lyrics.

    Liminal spaces will always have a draw to them, though I never related them to nostalgia or that aspect I never connected until it became a thing on the internet I read about. Empty game worlds and old websites have a feel of their own. Never cringed so hard at the vampire part. You can see how the supernatural/mythos aspect was dropped in recent decades for the "the science" explaining everything in fiction; likely these same people headcanoning their supposed vampirism into the medium.

    The Twilight era of my teenage years was such cringe. I had to threaten my peers with physical violence sometimes to get them to stop LARPing as werewolves and vampires on a daily basis. It's one thing to pretend for fun, it's another to resort to growling and hissing because you really believe you are some night creature.

    That music in the basement of the Animal House map sounds a lot like Tubular Bells, although it might be a bit off? It was made famous by its inclusion in The Exorcist. Also, I'm pretty sure human heart rates naturally adjust to match the person sleeping next to them.

    I remember coming across a similar site like that Vampire one a long time ago. I took a passing interest as I always wondered the mentality behind people believing that they are a vampire. Personally I find it’s more of a fixation on a fantasy based off a feeling one might have. You don’t feel like a ‘normal’ human. There for you must be something different. You reach out to find other like minded individuals who you might feel normal around. This often will strengthen your resolve and sink into the persona. This can happen with all kinds of things but something like vampires is an easy one to point out. I think this is why the internet is such an interesting place as you can reach out beyond the physical world and talk to like minded people. Unfortunately it can also strengthen delusional behaviour
    Is believing you’re a vampire wrong? Well if your belief leads to actions that harms others or takes a toll on your life then yes. From my own experience though I think it’s more about finding an identity. That’s something we all can get behind! No matter what identity you find yourself in

  • @eonuzex
    @eonuzex Před 6 měsíci +1

    Great.. I always say ow when I run into something regardless if it hurt or not. Not sure why I do this, but I do talk to myself a lot (though most of the time it is only mentally.) I also have light sensitivity aka I freaking hate bright sunny days. Grey Overcast days with a slight wind and fog and maybe some sprinkles of rain, makes me super comfortable. Then again.. I fall asleep listening to horror stories. I guess if you look at it logically I have some of the traits inherent to popular vampire lore, but that's pretty much every Introvert basically, I am just a big more introverted than normal I think.😉😒
    Now I need to go re watch the Angel series again. 🙃

    Love worlds. I’ve done plenty of trivias with AEEKath. Won some premium then MSDosFox gave me an avatar model of a mother and baby Orca. You gotta get a proper tour of all the custom worlds people made. AEEKaths GZ is the best in my opinion because on the walls it has the links to most of the custom worlds. My favorite is Atlantis. 🐬
