Choco1980 posted:We're talking about scary stories we read as kids now? Sounds good to me. When I was younger we'd do a little cross provincial drive to visit family members every so often. One year I grab a book in the first rest stop because my gameboy runs out of batteries and they didn't have any there. I thought it was a book about ghost stories. Nope! A book about lesser known real serial murderers. So along this trip I'm just reading about people who killed hitch hikers and other people on the road. One night we stop into a lovely motel just as I start a new story about this homeless guy who would stalk people to motels, wait until they went to sleep then break in and murder them. Then sleep in their room and bail the next morning. So I got to stay up all night listening to people walking up and down the hall of the motel hoping that this guy, who they never caught, wasn't still out there somewhere and in the middle of Canada for no reason. Good times.

Slandible posted:Tailypo gently caress that poo poo  I grew up in a heavily wooded area and that loving tailypo poo poo was a common camp-fire spook story and it's probably the first story to ever scare the poo poo out of me.

mostlygray posted:I've never heard of the Tailypo. My fear in the northwoods has always been the Wendigo. I first heard about wendigos from Pet Sematary  depending on where you were though, sometimes the tailypo thing got mixed in with the wendigo stuff. The tailypo poo poo I heard was a hunter in the woods got stuck there during a blizzard and starving, desperately searching for food his dogs managed to chase down a strange creature and tear its tail off. So the man shared what little meat it could provide with the dogs and went to sleep. During the night he heard scratching at the cabin door and a voice calling out to him, demanding he return its tail. Terrified he sent out his hounds to chase off whatever was out there and tried to sleep. In the morning he found one dog dead and gutted outside the cabin, no sign of the others and scratches in the wooden door. This would repeat for a few nights, demands to return the tail with scratching and dead dogs in the morning. On the final night the door finally gave in and the creature busts in shouting at the guy to return its tail before gutting him as well  . I've heard a ton of different variations of it since growing up but the whole dog murder one seems to be most popular in the area I grew up at least.

Somfin posted:Yeah, but it's stupidly-high-effort 3D work. It takes a loving intense character rig to properly animate a freakish 2D thing in 3D like that. And it's running a cloth and hair sim too, plus a really nice lighting setup with all sorts of ambient occlusion and poo poo. It is objectively high quality workmanship. Unless there's more to the animation than that gif lets on, it's probably not as much effort as you think. The only bits that actually move are the head, arm and a part of the sheet. I don't think the other arm or body move at all. The cloth and hair I'll give you, but at the same time programs like Maya and 3DstudioMax basically have hair and cloth physics built into them now so it's not as super complicated to get hair to not look like something out of a PS1 game as it used to be. 3D animation owns and while it can be a lot of work, there are a ton of shortcuts you can take and unless you're using some awful free software, the programs all are really effective at helping you make the most out of what they have to offer.

Big Centipede posted:Something else coming next week. Cyclocosmia torreya. A trapdoor spider with an rear end like an ancient rune. These things are pretty awesome, spiders are cool. We get little jumping spiders here and I love them because they always look happy and friendly then they jump away off to bring joy to someone else's life.

Lurking Haro posted:Maybe that person just got a leg cast removed and prioritized going to that shop over getting rid of weeks of old skin? Just looks like a gross rear end foot man. Based solely on personal experience, people who wear flip-flops constantly just tend to have gross feet and they don't give a poo poo. Living in tropical places is like a foot horror show and sometimes you get on a bus, or enter any other poorly ventilated public place and you can smell the feet. Just gross feet forever.

What's creepy about that? My fingers did that when I was younger. Now that I'm older they stop at a more mild incline rather than a direct 90 degree freakout. Still pretty fun to confuse people when they think you have backwards hands though.

The Relentless posted:No. They are aliens. Maybe with a touch of Hasselhoff DNA....but it wasn't consensual! I think it's more likely that they poured some hasselhoff into an alien creepy crawler oven and that's what they peeled out of the mold.

Groke posted:Legos are a much bigger statistical risk than thumbtacks, though. At least my kids spread a lot more of the former around than the latter. I once stepped on a thumb tack and didn't notice until I got home and wondered why my foot was clinking every time I walked through the kitchen. I always notice when I step on a lego. Now, if we're getting into stupid things to hurt your feet on; my bed has this huge metal over hang on each of the four corners and I've sliced my foot open on it multiple times. You'd think they'd have like, not included sharp metal bits down near something you're going to be sleepily walking near.

Rough Lobster posted:I don't know why people are scared of death, you get to become a skeleton. I hope I die in an interesting position so people can find my cool skeleton in a cool pose. In a million years aliens will be wondering why so many skeletons are found with their hands poised almost ritualistically above their pelvises.
