Gaston is clearly a Chad, not an incel. It is the Beast, a shut-in convinced of his own ugliness despite being perfectly attractive to a decent subset of women if he would only go outside and stop screaming at them for touching his stuff, who is the incel.

I had this when I got dark forces for christmas and played it for hours. I closed my eyes that night and just saw hallways moving past me like my eyes were still open. You there. Stop where you are. You're not authorized in this area. Blast'em.

I remember getting Gran Turismo 3 and firing it up on my parents floor model and watching the intro going "thats it, graphics will never get better than this"

I also have this definitely normal phenomenon where I just randomly envision locations in my head for no reason, often video game maps. Just completely uncontrollable, nothing happens that would evoke that memory, it just pops in my head.

Today, someone at work revealed their partner doesn't have an internal monologue, and he's not the kind of person I'd have expected that of. Another said a relative cant picture anything in their head, only words and numbers. For a moment, I considered that a worse burden than my own various neuroses

Yep, this is me as well. This is being called aphantasia, and ever since I realized that when some people say they can “picture something” in their head and it’s not just a metaphor, I’ve asked basically everyone I know or meet about what their visualizations are like. Turns out there’s a huge spectrum of it, and sometimes it makes perfect sense. All the people I know who draw, including non-artistic drawing like a draftsman relative, are able to conjure up full, realistically detailed objects in their head and rotate them around, seeing color and texture and a solid consistent image from any angle. I can do, uh, absolutely none of those things, and the idea that people can feels like a superpower.

I can’t even imagine filtering what I’m thinking through an internal voice and i also can’t really see things in my head other than maybe kind of a general idea of some shape of things. That might be why I’m pretty much always aware that I’m dreaming when I’m dreaming.

i know someone who won't eat leftovers, she gets takeout or delivery every day at work. I won't judge on the takeout every day part, my office has a cafeteria and i just buy something there for lunch daily.

Not really sure of her reason for refusing to eat leftovers, but i know it's not because of worries about appearances. i think it's more like that it's "old" and unsafe? idk, people can have weird hangups.

Counterpoint: Pot roast. Many delicious leftovers. FOR PEOPLE.

I think I was in my twenties when I discovered this. I had always thought it was just a colourful way of saying "think about". It always seemed like such babyish histrionics when people said an actor in a book adaptation didn't match their mental image of them, like they were just saying "that's not who I would have cast if they'd asked me". Never occurred to me that you could have any idea what a character in a novel looked like beyond remembering specific facts described in the text.

Dameius posted:

I still can't get my head around the idea of not having an internal monologue. I first encountered the concept when I was talking to someone online who'd been deaf their entire life and I suddenly had the thought "Wait, how do you think if you don't know what words sound like?"

I do sometimes have long sequences of thoughts that aren't really verbal, and for instance the recognition when you see a face you know but have no actual name connected to it is something similar.

Prosopagnosia is the word for (clinical as opposed to general goon} face-blindness, lethonomia is the word for name-...deafness? Specifically "name forgetfulness" since it's a River Lethe reference.

I've never had a problem remembering faces and vibes but names need some sort of connection to stick with me. "Oh, your name is James (and you look like [Finnish James]), no problem!"

I've always been curious about this. Do your memories not play in your head like a movie or is that something different? I feel like I am on that spectrum somewhere, in that I can visualize things in my mind but really only through memory. I can't or have extreme difficult creating images in my mind or draw an original image (or draw in general); I just see or hear the words I would use.

Nope. I remember things like they're written stories narrated by me. I don't know how I experience dreams while I'm dreaming, since I'm only conscious of them when I wake up, at which point I remember them the same way as everything else - words.

Fascinating. So it's your own voice in the void dictating back to you? I can relate to that somewhat. Is it a fairly constant stream of narration then?

My wife hates this. We'll be in the car and I'll start a conversation halfway in because I thought I was already talking to her but I was just "rehearsing my thoughts" or more likely pick up a forgotten conversation out of nowhere and she has no idea what I am talking about because I sometimes irrationally expect her to remember everything we've ever said.

No, only when I'm thinking something. Most of the time I'm not (consciously).

In my mind, words mean exactly what I intend them to mean. Somewhere beyond my awareness, concepts get assigned to words so I always know what I'm talking about.

I read way faster than people can read aloud, so my best analogy there is it's like remembering what was just said but on a smooth rolling basis.

This is the concept most foreign to me. There is never a moment when I am not thinking. Some sort of narration or visualization or something is constantly firing.

I in no way intended that as a brag of any sort, quite the contrary. I also can't fathom the other poster that said they had no internal monologue. Like I get how you may not have a constant voice in your head, but to have none at all? How does that even work?!
