are you a sissy dicksucker who wets their pants after having a nightmare at the age of 30? Then sadly horror games are not for you.

What Lamy does is overacting and textbook japanese shoujo manga behavior of the 90's with her "kyaa" & "mo yada" - go watch / read any of CLAMP's anime or manga. That's the kind of character Lamy's VA decided Lamy should be coz she was into this and had experience in acting / role-playing.

Whereas Botan's VA is in her 40's she was never in the acting business; she was a pro e-sports player and later a e-sports team manager so niggerfaggot OP she was never into the Keyfabe coz never did it in the first place.

It's like telling Obama to enter the MMA ring and knock out Jon Jones.

Botan is an e-sports gamer so to her a game is a challenge to her to finish first, to get the most kills, no damage run, to get the most headshots, etc,. Getting jumpscared in a game is wastage of time to competitive players so they don't focus on that.

Also, Sissybitch OP after playing numerous horror games people gets tuned from the jumscares.

From what I recall, she has said that she doesn't get scared from horror games because she knows they're made to scare people, so she kind of already knows what to expect. She has said that she does get scared when the scares come from unexpected sources, such as any non-horror game.

Dunno, That's part of it I guess. I'm 40+ As you get older you do and see things that help you put shit like horrorgames in perpective. Jumpscares can still get me, but I'm more likely to have the same response as Botan. I've been held under gunpoint a few times and had a live grenade thrown under my car. Stuff like that makes you reevaluate on what is scary, what deserves your anger etc. Part of growing up I guess.

Women scream at everything. Men almost never scream unless they're being mutilated or some such. Every time you hear a scream, be it in real life, in a movie or a video, it is always a woman or a group of women who is screaming. They have absolutely no backbone or survival instinct whenever something unexpected happens, no matter how small.

As you get older you do tend to be more jaded. Mainly cos you've seen similar shit before.
Fun fact: National armies don't like taking on anyone over thirty if they can avoid not just because they're going to be a bit lacking in the physical department but also because the psychological conditioning methods used by most modern armies don't reliably work on them. They see it all for the act that it is and will generally be either disinterested or find it funny.

Is being scared the same as being surprised?
Like when you open a screamer your body reacts instinctively but that's not being scared isn't it, that's just having a functional defense mechanism.
Scared is like turning on the light or pausing the game because you can't go on.

Once people start playing they get distracted and are no longer prepared for (jump)scares. Botan talked about that before, anon linked the video earlier already, she's prepared in horror games for those scares, and plays with high brightness settings so things the developer to not be easily visible yet is for her. Most people don't play like that. Add unsettling sounds to that, and the brain starts fucking up and getting surprised.

>but not in the way you're thinking.
The brain fucks up because it's expecting your inner ear to give information regarding the movement it is visually processing, but there is no such signal, so it thinks you're sick/poisoned and tries to solve that problem. Or the other way around and you're in motion (non-constant motion) while you're looking at something that does not match that movement.
Or at least something close to that, it's been a decade and some.

let me tell you a tale about years long since gone. Back when I was a wee lad in elementary school we would occasionally have games-days for gym class. As you can imagine these days we played schoolyard games in the gym. Games like duck-duck-go, dodge ball, red rover, that sort. One day we were playing red-light-green-light. Since we were in the gym we had the advantage of using the gym lights as our red and green lights. When the light went off that was our green light and we'd all run as fast and as far as possible to the other end of the gym. When the lights came on we were supposed to stop, anyone who got 'caught' still running would be penalized. Let me tell you what happened. The moment the lights turned off the girls in class would start screaming their fucking heads off like they were god damn murder victims. Those fucking bitches would scream and scream and scream over the very simple, reasonable, completely expected fact that the lights were turned off. I never heard any of the boys scream, it was only the girls. Girls scream at the drop of a fucking hat, they scream over their own fucking shadow, they will scream at something you tell them is about to happen. Women scream, anon. They scream over fucking everything and anything.
