It's fascinating how some liminal space is somehow nostalgic and comforting, and some is terrifying. And then some is nice at first, but then you realize that there is no escape from the 'comforting' space. It's a really weird kind of art.
I’ll never get over the fact that most definitions of liminal refer to physical places of transition, because I don’t think that’s it’s intended belief. The use of the word liminal I think means that it evokes a time when we were first beginning to understand the world through thought and sensory information. That’s why nostalgia plays so heavily into it. Liminal spaces trigger an uncanny emotion in us that we haven’t felt in a long time, and brings with it all the emotions surrounding it. It’s not about whether people are usually there and now they’re not.
am I allowed to save what you said? because I love how you made a more understandin definition of now times Liminal Space, im doing a passion project for my english class and its about Liminal Spaces and such!
I add another experience in terms of contemplating liminal spaces. I was in the last days of the school year in my high school in Buenos Aires, a couple of weeks before the start of summer vacations, I was fulfilling a formality repeating an English exam that, let's say, 90% of my classmates had already passed days ago. Therefore we were only 4 guys taking the exam. And when we had finished it, before leaving the classroom, I looked at all the empty tables and their chairs, which until a day ago were full of life and noise and activity at that same hour of the morning, and me being there practically alone, I couldn't help but feel a little of nostalgic sadness. Naturally I composed myself as soon as I left the classroom but from that moment (and this is a memory of December 2002) I tried to better understand that feeling. Now that the talk about "liminal spaces" Is a thing, I think I can add to this memory the fact that I understand that it wasn't just a strange nostalgia for what had been and what still wasn't what I felt not just looking a liminal space but being in one. It was the quick, fleeting glimpse of a primal fear: the fear of being left behind. The fear of being forgotten.
thank u for maintaining the same sort of vibe and attitude throughout ur videos mr gregbrodudeman. its very comforting and seeing a new video posted always makes my day better
4:22 I would say a bittersweet photo. Like it's something that seems nostalgic, a good memory perhaps and that's the happy part of it. But it's now a memory now, you can't live that moment anymore, just in your thoughts and here's where the sadness comes in. So looking at this image makes you feel both happyness and sadness. In a few words, bittersweet.
The photo at 15:30 is from the series "Severance", I think you'd really like it if you haven't seen it already, it has some interesting liminal space vibes. Great video as always!! (edit for timestamp)
The door with the beach in it is a mirror that’s angled so the photographer doesn’t get reflected . Notice how the gradient of the sky in the background and the gradient in the mirror at kinda a continuation of each other if you account for the transition that would continue in the sky above the photographer. Pretty neat.
the problem with the castle city is that they made them all identical like the worst housing developments do… once there were a certain number the novelty wouldn’t even be novel anymore, everyone else around has the same as you, it also just started to look awful. if only they’d spaced them out with beautiful landscaping and only added more as necessary, and maybe they could have just done different colours. but if they’d designed 10 or more to mix it up, it would’ve been awesome!
I have a vague memory of hearing they were made out of styrofoam-like substance too, but that may just be my brain tricking me. Like, they made so many and they made them so cheaply that nobody wanted them even at a really cheap price
I fricken love the carpeting+wood paneled basement. It ain’t flashy but it feels so comforting, reminds me of all the summers I spent living with my cousins, their basement was just like that
15:44 There are a lot of liminal space maps on Garry's Mod, and some people have already done VR ports of the said game (The Librarian). Also, the buildings from 14:18 is from Garry's Mod.
Yes, gm_flatgrass from Garry's Mod. But are you sure that game is "the librarian"? The only one I could find is in 2D pixelart, is that really the one?
I had happy/sad moments only when I stayed home for a long period of time, just the weirdest feeling but it was very relaxing and yet uneasy at the same time
4:48 I think it is real, they’re standing with their back to the ocean, and the mirror is just off of perpendicular to them enough that they don’t see themself in the reflection.
in summer time, early evenings when the sun is low but not yet setting, the golden lighting gives me that same kind of weird vibe/feeling as the pink sky in that image
The pink hue makes the picture seem like an old memory to me because it’s the same hue cameras would pick up back in the day sometimes. You’re the same age as me so it probably unlocks some of those old memories for you. I get the same bittersweet kinda feeling too when I see that kinda picture.
4:10 THATS MY FUCKING TOWNS HIGH SCHOOL ISTG That room where the path leads is the high school art room and that outside area is like an area with benches and a garden and stuff and it right by the library
16:38 seeing this image reminded me of a dream I had like a year ago, the setting was in a pool room exactly like this, the only difference is in my dream it went in a loop.
this comment gave me chills and I was dying for some comment to call this pool out, this pool is a pool VERY nearby where I live, it is an exact replica of a pool where I have been to multiple times. it's in the Netherlands. Heemskerk is the place. it's called "de waterakkers".
I started watching your videos recently. The subject matter is always interesting .. however .. your delivery, cadence, and "borderline wry" sense of humor is top-shelf and memorable. I held back on Subscribing (truthfully, only because I have hundreds already .. lol) at first, but then you mentioned "The Truman Show" .. and I annihilated that button. One of the greatest and under-rated movies of it's time. Jim Carey proves he can act without being a total knucklehead. Did you mention the ambient yet progressive music that runs the film? It's awesome. Thanks for the content Greg.
the hue of the sky at 4:06 gives me big tropical storm vibes- and pictures with that color always bring to mind tropics and hurricanes and like.. surviving on a deserted island and all that jazz, while still evoking a similar sad-happy-anemoia sort of vibe. the fun part is that i am from west virginia and the most tropical experience i've ever had was florida, so i'm genuinely lost on this one
It's the hue of that summer sunset when you were a child, having the time of your life with your friends. No cares or worries, no concept of tomorrow. And then one day when youre grown you realize that it was so long ago that it feels like the ghost of a dream, and you aren't sure if they were even real.
I think one possible reason why you're feeling this particular emotional reaction to the color of the sky at 4:10 is because this tends to be the way the sky looks right before a major storm (you know the old saying, "Red sky at morning, sailors take warning")...this is due to a phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering whereby the moisture and particulate present in the atmosphere causes shorter wavelengths to refract away and allows longer red wavelengths to pass through, resulting in a pinkish/reddish hue. So it could be some sort of evolutionary instinct to fear an advancing storm that's causing this reaction.
Whenever I see a pink sky like that I take it as a sign to go inside. I live in Texas and that's often a sign of tornado weather. Freaks me the hell out.
3:50 - Yep. It's like the melancholic comfort of a late summer evening, just a few days before school starts again. 5:13 - Don't forget popcorn ceilings. They complete the excessive carpet/wood paneling trifecta. 12:55 - This is my first time seeing a real place that looked like someone went nuts with a clone stamp in Photoshop. Wow. 13:40 - Whoever designed this place must LOVE venetian blinds. I was so confused at first, but then I realized those were individual FLOORS.

3:50 kinda reminds me of school days and the building looks like the door to the school gym. Some part of me misses the days, where life was fun but there was also the side of grief and sadness. This picture is like how I feel, when I try to remember this days.
This happy/sad feeling of the pink sky In that one picture really gives off vibes of a rainy summer day. I personally love these warm randy days and they have the same exact vibe as that picture
8:03 a hundred years ago, that sort of non-Euclidean geometry was literary shorthand for "you have entered a place where humans are not welcome and a cosmic horror will be by shortly to drive you mad and feast on your entrails." So... pretty much the same as Liminal Space.
That image of the school with the pink hue? Wtf it gives me a nostalgic feeling but it's kinda dreamy? Like a weird reoccurring dream about being left in a world with no people.

10:12 Well you beat me to it ! LOL So happy to see the Mitch Hedberg reference here. It was building up to it and I went to comment, but then you brought it home 👍 lol
the cyberpunk music freaked me out because i was playing cyberpunk while watching this and i thought my game was somehow breaking lmfao. had to pause the video to make sure thats where it was coming from
This video was pretty epic, but nah we gotta revisit that one-does-all washer/dryer machine Greg was talking about, LET HIM COOK, HE MIGHT BE ONTO SOMETHING Also mad respect for knowing about Sonic Adventure 2's Chao Garden, such a fun time
greg I'm actually dying for you to see this comment, the pool at 16:38 is the EXACT pool where I live close to. it's called "de waterakkers" and it's in Heemskerk in the Netherlands
@GregBroDudeMan The pink hue at 4:12 might be stirring up memories of old family photos. Color slide films have 3 dye layers: Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow. Over a long period of time the Cyan and Yellow dyes often fade due to heat and poor air quality. Ultimately Yellow and Cyan vanish completely from the film. Magenta dye is more stable than the Yellow and Blue ones, so the end result is a picture that’s nothing but shades of Red, including the Pink that you were pondering during your video. Liminal indeed.
10:53 A few years ago a local ToysRUs mall was shutting down and doing the last clearence sale. I arrived a week before the end, so most of the shelves were already empty or gone altogether. This image (and some others) reminds me those moments.
your channel was much smaller when i found you for the subnautica content, and i LOVED your energy and how chill you were its relaxing and great for when im recharging my people battery. and your channel just kept growing im super happy to see it
the abandoned city of castles was used in quadeca's "fractions of infinity" music video, looks super creepy and i think i remember him saying he had to sneak past security guarding the premises
2:00 Gee, I wonder why that looks like something you'd find on earth, and looks like they just snapped it using the flash feature on their phone! Gee, I wonder why all the images seemingly from space are always a little suspect.
4:10 I love this. It reminds me of my old elementary school. I went there in the 90s but it was built in the 50s and the history of it always intrigued me.
The scary part of standing on a ledge of a tall building, it's not worrying that you'll fall off, it's actually the fear that you might want to liminal space it. What scared me is that I really wanted to do it. The greatest beauty i've had is dying. I don't care anymore whether I live or die. I accept my death. I will take the entire Universe with me. There won't be any suffering because I'm taking you all with me.
A game already exist where you can walk around popular liminal spaces in VR. It's call Garry's Mod in the section titled "Liminal." I highly highly recommend the map called "Places you've seen in your dreams."
That pink hue I think is actually quite literally used in psychological settings to provoke nostalgia. Cartoon TV shows (think Courage the Cowardly Dog) use it. Personally I relate it to taking children’s liquid Benadryl (in the 2000s it was a dark pink color) and I remember how sleepy it made me and I would watch Ghost Adventures
The clip at 9:19 reminds me a lot of the Summit of the Gods movie. Not exactly liminal space (at least I don't think it is) but the scenes in that movie really instill a feeling of primordial isolation
The two words that I would say comes to mind would be either nostalgia or Bittersweet when you see that pinkish Hue sky. Being a feeling of both sadness and happiness
I love liminal spaces. I think we relate to them because we ourselves have been in a situation like that before. Where your in a place that's empty and it gives you that weird sense of deja-vue as well as wanting to explore but your worried if your going to get caught by someone. Idk?
greg feels like one of those cousins you havent talked to in years but then you meet up and your like dude you are The Best Thing where have you been for these years? why havent we talked in forever??? and then you stay best friends for the rest of your lives.
Malls, schools, warehouses, and other non-residential buildings that have been converted into apartment complexes always give me weird vibes. They make me feel like they shouldn't exist.
I love the way these videos show how similar all of our brains are. One of my favorite songwriters Jeffrey Lewis said “Everyone you meet is you divided by what they’ve been through”
I'm playing No Man's Sky at the moment and it's the Switch version so it has less dense foliage and lower res. Some planet types give off liminal space vibes so hard. I've had it for like 3 weeks and barely gotten anywhere because I can't stop blindly wandering.
The “asteroid” pictures/clips remind me of Erasorhead. More a certain flavor of surrealism than liminal. Unsettling because you can’t figure out what you are actually looking at. Liminal is familiar but “off”, not unrecognizable.
I know this video is older, but I'm creating a Liminal Space map in the VR game: Vertigo 2's sandbox mode! I dunno if that's something you'd like to look into, but I think you'd like it once I finish making it! :D
I think Liminal-spaces will hold the key to a new sort of psychology. I can't comprehend why some liminal spaces make me feel weird. The ones that still get me are, stretched out buildings with low ceilings.
It's fascinating how some liminal space is somehow nostalgic and comforting, and some is terrifying. And then some is nice at first, but then you realize that there is no escape from the 'comforting' space. It's a really weird kind of art.
It really is the weirdest art ever, but everyone can do it which is the cool part
Haha, I’ve never seen a liminal space that is “comforting”…… you must be more well-adjusted than I am
@@DannyDeVitois80 lol I think I'm just more anti-social and likes alone time more than other people. :p
feels like a group of friends huddling round to watch spooky vids on their dad's old computer, i love it here

I started watching your videos recently.
The subject matter is always interesting .. however .. your delivery, cadence, and "borderline wry" sense of humor is top-shelf and memorable.
I held back on Subscribing (truthfully, only because I have hundreds already .. lol) at first, but then you mentioned "The Truman Show" .. and I annihilated that button. One of the greatest and under-rated movies of it's time. Jim Carey proves he can act without being a total knucklehead.

The two words that I would say comes to mind would be either nostalgia or Bittersweet when you see that pinkish Hue sky. Being a feeling of both sadness and happiness
I really like these liminal space videos, keep them coming :D
I love liminal spaces. I think we relate to them because we ourselves have been in a situation like that before. Where your in a place that's empty and it gives you that weird sense of deja-vue as well as wanting to explore but your worried if your going to get caught by someone. Idk?
greg feels like one of those cousins you havent talked to in years but then you meet up and your like dude you are The Best Thing where have you been for these years? why havent we talked in forever??? and then you stay best friends for the rest of your lives.
Just got wisdom teeth out and seeing one of your videos after surgery was definitely the highlight of my month lol
Malls, schools, warehouses, and other non-residential buildings that have been converted into apartment complexes always give me weird vibes. They make me feel like they shouldn't exist.
I love the way these videos show how similar all of our brains are. One of my favorite songwriters Jeffrey Lewis said “Everyone you meet is you divided by what they’ve been through”

That looks more list dust/snow falling down.
How do you motivate me with your intros alone
They are so simple yet so effective
It's mesmerizing to see this guy just talking over some images but somehow can keep some people to be engaged
You'll be happy to know washer dryer combos exist I saw one in a tiny house a few years ago
You are a great content creator man. I come here to get afraid. Thank you.
I love liminal spaces, they always have a nostalgic feeling, especially the images of the 90's looking living rooms.
Greg. Please. Stop reminding me to clean my room. I told you I'd do it eventually.
Are we not going to talk about how in a picture of infinite mirrors there's no photographer?
I'm playing No Man's Sky at the moment and it's the Switch version so it has less dense foliage and lower res. Some planet types give off liminal space vibes so hard. I've had it for like 3 weeks and barely gotten anywhere because I can't stop blindly wandering.
major kudos for the Mitch Hedberg escalator joke, one of my top 3 favorite comedians
The pink sky is like remembering a happy memory that you know you will never experience again
The “asteroid” pictures/clips remind me of Erasorhead. More a certain flavor of surrealism than liminal. Unsettling because you can’t figure out what you are actually looking at. Liminal is familiar but “off”, not unrecognizable.
I know this video is older, but I'm creating a Liminal Space map in the VR game: Vertigo 2's sandbox mode! I dunno if that's something you'd like to look into, but I think you'd like it once I finish making it! :D
A lot of liminal spaces seems to have a nostalgic longing for the 90s/00s aesthetics and how simple life was back then
literally kicking my feet and giggling behind my hands when greg asked me to have a two way dialogue with him
I think Liminal-spaces will hold the key to a new sort of psychology.
I can't comprehend why some liminal spaces make me feel weird.
The ones that still get me are, stretched out buildings with low ceilings.
3:51 it reminds me of going to lunch in the 5th grade of school. after that, social studies.

I don’t think you realize how funny you are 😂
liminal spaces, when you get to my age, are pure nostalgia, and I love them
