#fuck fluorescent lighting

This is probably not how their conversation went, but it’s how I remember it

#the magnus protocol #tmagp fanart #haz art #gwendolyn bouchard #tmagp ep 11 #tmagp ep 11 spoilers #Is this like the equivalent of growing up and Mickey Mouse is real but super fucked up #Actually more aligned with monster Garfield #I do believe Lena’s office has fluorescent lighting but Mr bonzo mentions always trigger a red background #lena kelley

boyf left the house to go to the pub and ended up accidentally leading the search for a missing child?? predicaments follow this man everywhere

#long story short the kids carers dont know the area well #were standing out on the trail panicking in the dark with just their phone lights on #boyf walks past and they ask him if hes seen a kid or if he knows where she could have gone #this area is all little trails through trees and marsh and streams #and he grew up here so he was like ah fuck theres so many places #he says give me a minute #runs back to grab his fluorescents and big torch #then went back and was giving ppl directions on where to check #cops turn up and they dont fuckin know the area either #so they’re asking him about all the different trails and shit #quite the situation

Unpacking is very cute and I admire the type of narrative it's able to pull off just through the gameplay of moving into spaces. the intimacy of everyday objects, still life, environmental storytelling, etc etc etc

But i have Got to talk about 2010. Unpacking is a game where all you do is take stuff out of boxes and find spaces for it, and for the most part it gives you quite a lot of freedom about where you can put stuff. There are some rules - most things cant go on the floor, stuff generally has to be in the right room, the soap has to be near the sink, etc etc, but apart from that there's no wrong place to put things.

Moving into this fucking guy's house in 2010 felt like putting everything in the wrong place. It felt like I wasn't supposed to be there, a square peg into a round hole. His entire house is pristine when I get there, everything organised perfectly, evenly spaced, colour-matched, sterile. Throughout the level I'm shoving everything around on his bookcase to fit my hoard of knickknacks, putting my red plastic colander in the cupboard above his cool green matching set of plates and bowls, my bright purple toothbrush cup, hairbrush, and straightening iron clutter his pristine bathroom counter. My family of stuffed chickens is made to look silly next to his fancy mixology set and miniature sand garden.

I end up putting my laptop and drawing tablet out on the kitchen island because there isn't a desk anywhere I can use. My markers and hoard of sketchbooks are crammed into my bedside table. I'm not allowed to move his posters in the living room, so my university certificate goes under the bed.

I won't pretend that I, playing Unpacking in 2023, didn't know how the game ended. I knew already that the protagonist would move on from this guy, but even if I didn't, I would have been able to tell. It was not fun moving into his house, it was not easy or charming to meld our lives together, I did not feel welcome there. Moving in with him felt like a transgression, an imposition. Moving in with him felt like a wrong decision in a game where I couldn't really make wrong decisions.

An incredible magic trick of game design, in my opinion.

#also something about how pristine this guys house was #but like. the CDs in his CD rack were all in there at random #and his fucking underwear was scattered randomly throughout 2 drawers #just gave me rancid vibes. this man cares so much about the Facade. the Presentation. #and as a result his house has the character and charm of a fluorescent tube light #anyway. good game #unpacking #unpacking game

#what the heeeeellllll fucking baikal seal lookin guys #taking in so much fluorescent light

[silveredcircuitry]

#my art #digital art #candy #poolcore #no particular lore behind this one I was fucking around and realized this would be a cool visual #i gotta play with artificial light more. magic and sunlight and mystery metaphysical location lighting are cool and all #but pool lighting and streetlamps and fluorescents.... augh

[fooltofancy]

two hours of sleep two-hour laundromat experience...... bad.

#i was gonna get coffee before i came but i was like it'll be okay if i leave #but now i have small dog anxiety #will probably talk myself into it in like fifteen minutes but god #nine in the morning fluorescent light misery #should have just used the apartment machines but by god #i am petty. #gonna pay an extra dollar BUT IM STILL GONNA DO IT #should have brought sunglasses #also i picked the one machine in the building that had come fucking unplugged lmao #batting a thousand

public bathrooms are so so scary

#idk it's the unwelcoming fluorescent lighting the impersonable tiling on the walls and floor #the cold feeling of the porcelain sink on your hands the way reality feels warped when you look in the mirror #the eerie silence when no one else is in there #the way you have no idea if the quiet is from actually being alone or if someone is hidden silently in one of the stalls #for some reason scenes in movies and stuff where people smack their heads on bathroom sinks or even the toilets #always get me rlly good. it's just so. creepy. cause it's always quiet and just. not a welcoming place to begin with #and like. imagine dying in a fucking dirty ass bathroom. one of my sims did that once and she was PISSED #snow.txt

the colorist when the scene is in a lab/bathroom/hospital:

#i know this is to emulate the look of fluorescent lighting but i feel like the coloring is so fucking intense #like i watched the hospital scene and i was like 'why the fuck did they make it so GREEN?' #stylistic choice i suppose #shitposts #color stuff

I can’t tell if I’m just bad at finding Bedsheets That Don’t Pill, or if it’s just another case of Severe Decrease In Product Quality Due To Ongoing Plague And Labor Shortages, or if I’m just autistic and doomed to experience all bedsheet textures as Level 10 Pain

#sorenhoots #😞 the expensive bedsheets I bought a while back didn’t even make it to the first wash before pilling #due to circumstances I can say that the pain of the bad texture is literally worse than shingles! #it took me like 6 months to gather the energy to go bedsheet shopping last time so I’ll probably just keep suffering for months again 😓 #I’m laying on my weighted blanket because it’s soft and stays in place but that means I don’t have my weighted blanket #I am trying a new strategy of wearing a onesie so none of my skin touches the sheet but #the occasional instances of my hands/feet briefly touching the texture is intensely horrible #I know it sounds dramatic to phrase it this way but like: it’s kinda like 😥 traumatic? if I am allowed to use that word in this instance? #the spike of panic and adrenaline I feel when I so much as *almost* touch the sheet is familiar to the panic I used to feel when avoiding #PTSD triggers or when I’d get a very distressing intrusive thought #I literally have nightmares about accidentally touching the sheets #and my entire behavior has shifted significantly to avoid the texture at any cost even at my own detriment #like when my shingles was hurting terribly but I curled up in a way that hurt it worse just to avoid the bedsheet texture #I don’t even know where to get better sheets. I tried Walmart and target but they only seem to carry their own brands now and they’re all #the same material and style and there’s no options #I thought about trying a more specialized store like a Kohl’s or idk something #but by the time I’m trying to think of where to buy new sheets I’m beyond overwhelmed and can’t even leave the house. much less #drive to a store and look for good sheets underneath fluorescent lights and loud music and the fucking Bible Belt Middle Aged Women staring #at my androgynous appearance like I’m Satan incarnate #ugh….. I need to go like. touch grass lol. watch a rolly polly meander across an acorn shell.

Wearing sunglasses inside is SO funny and also SO embarrassing…I’m obsessed

#work chronicles #the fluorescent lights are so fucking terrible at my work #they’re so incredibly bright #I can barely see and they’ve been known to give me headaches in the past too #I have a pair of migraine glasses coming in Monday but until then I’m wearing my sunglasses LMAO #I look so goofy but I’m able to function much better #it’s funny but also makes me feel cringey whenever someone is giving me the obvious ‘wtf’ face when they realize I’m wearing them #if anyone asks I’ll just say that fluorescent lights are a headache trigger for me #which IS half true

[buck-yyyy]

anyways, time to overshare again because fuck- i’m currently hiding in the bathroom crying because i have a HORRIBLE headache and light and sounds hurt so so bad but when i went to the nurse i got looked at like i was inconveniencing them by even being there and when i asked if they had tylenol or anything that could help i got a bitchy “no, we don’t have that here” (what the fuck are you even there for??), and i have literally only ever gone to the nurse once for the same reason because i had a terrible migraine where i couldn’t look at lights at all and they tried to send me back to class

anyways fuck the school nurse for doing nothing but make people feel bad for asking for help

#you’re not even allowed to have advil in your backpack so i don’t know what the fuck they want us to do #fucking- i hate them i hate them so much #i’m in so much pain and it’s like getting slightly better but the fluorescent lights at my school feel like nails to the eye #kill me #tw vent

[malewifespike]

having a hard time lately accepting my bland reality. there will be no adventures or quests or magic or prophesies or destinies. it’s just going to be me going to work every day and paying my rent and bringing groceries inside, forever and ever until I die. awesome

#god I think the seasonal depression is hitting now that it’s truly winter in MN #like fuck this is really just life isn’t it. like this is it babes #I feel like I’m staring at the entirely of my life stretched out in front of me like an infinite hallway #and the walls are bare and beige and the lights are fluorescent and there’s nothing to do but walk down it endlessly #there is nothing remarkable about me and my life #I know that and I accepted that a long time ago - all I’ve wanted since then is to be warm and happy and content #I don’t care if the walls are beige I just want to be happy so bad but it’s impossible I fear #I think maybe I’m destined to be sad and unfulfilled and restless forever #and I think I may die alone :-) #I guess some people are meant to be happy people and others just aren’t
