Weird Pumpkin posted:I absolutely hate spiders. It's not usually too bad for me in games, but if the spider has an attack where it like, grabs you or jumps on you or something? ughhh Yeah spidders are ok for me but I forgot about the man-sized ones coming down from cave ceilings in Skyrim and when you have a VR hat on and everything is 3D life-scale...

Sometimes I forget scorpions are arachnids because they never seem to come-up in arachnophobia discussions despite looking like some sort of mythological abomination come to life.

I'm not afraid of spiders but there is something about the grabbing and biting that is scarier than a scorpion having pincers and a venomous tail. Even though holy poo poo have you seen a scorpions mouth??

Maybe because they seem smooth and shiny instead of hairy and rough like spiders? I think of them more like crabs because of the pincers.

Probably also that Scorpions are pretty limited to a few climates while spiders are pretty much everywhere so 90% of the population has regular exposure to them

Biting is what animals do, it just seems like a natural thing that would happen to you if you started poking at a critter. But the tail strike reminds me too much of like hitting someone with a weapon. Like it's deliberately malicious.

There's a whole spectrum of instinctual reactions I have to each of these many-legged creatures:
I have no idea why there's such a distinct difference in my reaction to each of them when they have a lot of basic similarity, someone should really look into that.

Combination of the noise, the speed, and the whole creepy black skin and poison stuff. I had a very interesting time trying to make it through HL: Alyx because they are a way more staple enemy there  And it's VR, so actually having something flying at your face is. Just a bit creepy...Facehuggers are creepy too but I've not really played any of the Alien games, so the most familiarity I have with them is movies which they aren't tooooo bad? I can imagine a first person view of the 'latching onto your face' bit would be absolutely horrifying, but I've not seen that. Captain Hygiene posted:There's a whole spectrum of instinctual reactions I have to each of these many-legged creatures: How do you feel about spider crabs or coconut crabs? Those ones tread super close to spiders (long spindly legs/looks like an oversized tarantula) that they get me unnerved. Not quite scared, but just very uncomfortable looking at them for any extended period of times.

Not quite scared, but just very uncomfortable looking at them for any extended period of times. Coconut crabs are the ones that come closest to bothering me, they're so weird and blobby looking that I'd be creeped out a bit, especially since they climb. And they're pretty darn big, too. But it's more of a "this thing looks potentially threatening" reaction like for scorpions than the freakout response for spiders. Spider crabs don't bother me at all, I like them. I think it's because they still have a recognizable crab body and the legs are so exaggerated, they veer into entertaining. Tenebrais posted:Where does that whip spider posted a couple of pages back fit in? The one that was wearing the fez. I sorta felt the same way at first glance - it's so exaggerated that I thought it was a made-up design, it didn't trigger anything. But I'm also not inclined to go back research more examples of them, just in case it was just that particular view.

Combination of the noise, the speed, and the whole creepy black skin and poison stuff. That's the other funny thing, normal headcrabs are great, I've had this one as my work friend for probably 15 years now   But the poison ones trigger that spider reaction real bad, I hate those things. I found them weirdly entertaining in HL: Alyx though, it felt unexpectedly therapeutic to give in to my rage and just unload entire clips on them in VR.

The poison ones are spindly, are dark, always placed as an ambush and make a horrifying sound. HOWEVER, they can't kill you. They can only drop you to 1HP. That takes away a lot of terror if they are the only enemy around.

MGSV has one that you'll rarely see because it's hospital-themed and only shows up when you've started the intro tutorial but switches to the regular helicopter base theme as soon as you start the actual game. That was a fun surprise when I'd forgotten about it much later and started up a new game.

One of the Just Cause games, the main menu background is the protagonist leaning against a car somewhere on the island. You hit 'continue' and he stands up and you're seamlessly in control.
