Can You Rotate a Bullet in Your Mind | Risk of Rain 2

No one gets me to visualize apples more than race

[@double_ff9931]

i put this on in the background while studying. I have never been stuck thinking about thinking before. Facinating

[@Iranofideaswhilewritingthis334]

Average day for a philosopher major

[@theonesleepyboi]

regarding haptic memory, i have a very vivid memory of running into a someone in elementary school, and i remember how my head and face felt getting slammed by some kid and there was a weird taste in my mouth that i don’t know how to describe. i also vividly remember all three concussions i’ve had and have a really good visualization with the apple

[@RacesVideos]

Maybe those feelings are associated more closely with some other sense, like you mentioned the taste, a stronger link. Regardless, thanks for the insight!

[@Totally_eViL]

I was confused about this topic cause I can imagine and remember any kind of pain I've felt perfectly, is it not normal??

[@astrangemed8244]

I love how each of these episodes are just a conversational topic lol

[@GreenT_LoR]

There was a history final where the teacher allowed a cheat sheet in the form of a standard 4x6 index card. Front and back were allowed, but it did not have to have margins. I fit around 150 historical events/definitions and showed up with it to the final. Everyone was talking about it, not because of my 6 point font handwriting, but because I did not even look at it once. Kinesthetic memory is crazy.

[@mikaelgalang9423]

As someone with Aphantasia, the visualization talk interests me a lot, since I can't pull from my brain's mental library of stuff, I just go by words, so instead of imagining an apple, all I can pull is the description of an apple, it's a pretty vivid description but no images whatsoever.

[@togo72]

It's such a wild concept to go your whole life just running with the "now picture this in your head" saying and thinking other people just also have really good imagination. I went the first 20 years of my life unaware of aphantasia even being a thing until I was talking about DND with a friend, saying I stuck tightly to the portrait art I used for my characters because that's the only way I can see them, and my friend being like "oh yeah there's a name for that, hold on let me find it"

[@Snek-v2]

9:50 my apple got on a skateboard and did a kick flip what number is that

[@Spoiled_Tuna]

whenever i try to visualize an apple i get distracted by thinking what an apple looks like

[@MtF_doom]

4:01 this is so true man, i used to share rooms with my older brother and i associate the games i played with the perfume he used at that time, so I'd have times when im walking down the street and smell someone's perfume and im like "wow this reminds me of when i used to play deltarune" and its a different smell for each game.

[@balovr6821]

Goated thumbnail as always

[@notalwaysorsometimes]

risk of ringlish

[@augsburgermatt]

I'm a flat 0 on both the sound and visual aspects, but when I was a kid I was easily a 3 and the memories of those things I imagined when I was a kid I can still kind of see now but can't come up with anything new anymore. I also currently can fairly easily conjure physical feelings and smells. Cool to hear you talk about this, always interesting to hear others experience on these types of things

[@RacesVideos]

I wonder if the use of technology is limiting some practice of visualization, I know it definitely does for memory. Interesting!

[@thewatcher6478]

I dont need to try to rotate a bullet through my mind, that’s what the rifling is for.

[@lemmonboy6459]

1. In relation to the video, I think owing to my slight experience in music and singing (playing an instrument and theatre) my audio memory is EXCEPTIONALLY deep and precise. I can remember all the horror sounds from ROR2 and can whistle a numerous amount of songs instantly. Don’t know if I trained this or if I’m being a part of selection bias. It’s always fun to talk about and this video was fun to both watch and listen to lmao. 2. Have you thought of more structured videos like that “It’s still winnable” video? You have a fun way of writing imo and your insights are fun to see in video form Love the stream highlights

[@RacesVideos]

Yeah planning on some more written things, glad you like em :)

[@FreyCloud]

I prefer the *3D rendered pyramid with a silly cat face png stretched over each side rotating to The Price Is Right theme song* to the usual mental apple test.

[@NickiRusin]

that's an incredibly specific image that I was somehow able to conjure in 2 seconds, the mind truly is powerful

[@ciemnymudzyn5282]

Crazy run and a cool "discussion" if you can call it that. Just a perfect race video

[@keyarth5573]

just popping by that i love your long laid back videos, they feel so genuine, it's somewhat hard to find this sorta gameplay content on youtube! thanks for having those so people can listen to while studying or watch while eating, really adds something into our day to day lives

[@shock-1048]

Who else spent half their lives thinking that "picturing" something was literally just a figure of speech and not something you could actually do 💀

[@efp7247]

Oh no 😭, could you actually do it tho?

[@wesritro7959]

The conversation that takes place in this run is actually so interesting i started answering and playing into it lol. Especially talking about pain memorization because most people said they can’t reimagine it even though I’m the complete opposite. Super interesting

[@wesritro7959]

Also homie are you like a psych major or something? Because I have never heard anyone talk about recall so in depth casually before lol

[@dmitrysushko7276]

Your videos inspired me to come back to Eclipse climbing (Captain at 7, others are at 0-5, half of year passed i think) and damn you make this game look simple. Update 4 hours later: finally beat that Capt 8. What a run: Headstompers and Ex. Card at stage 1, 2 Dronemans and Recycler 2 stages later, more or less balanced damage and speed, even no looping or lunars. Such a feeling when... I don't even have words to describe it. Thank you.

[@Me_Sean]

6:30 you dug up a core memeory for me. This right here made me feel like I was autistic in school. Give me a multiple choice test of any amount of questions, and I was done as fast as I could read the questions(either knew it on the spot or didn't, no in-between). However, if they gave me an open prompt kinda test I struggled. hard. Like barely passing since I struggled to make that connection internally.

[@amarques4091]

What a fun discussion. I love this😊

[@edwardskelly6332]

The apple thing has always been interesting to me. I can't see the apple, and I can't spin it, let alone produce color, but I am very confident in my memory of the apple. I also am able to hold a lot in the forefront of my mind at any given moment (doing math in my head or imagining step by step processes) but don't visualize the characters or letters.

[@edwardskelly6332]

getting further into the video, the sound rating would definitely be a 3.

[@MrNoob_2003]

Interesting to read that. Thank you for your comment :) I am actually the complete opposite of you haha, visualising is 100% probably, since I can do whatever but sounds are like... What? How?... very weird hahaha. I only possess the memory of the sound what it sounded like but I can't recreate it in my head. Only the feeling I got hearing it. Like the alarm clock sound or similar things.

[@honichi1]

i have a few dream worlds that i vividly remember (train/forest world, underground subway tunnels, gothic window tunnel with train, elevators, palace garden, corrupted version of city i live in)

[@katfox_cal]

i have decent visualisation (apple test was like a 2012 game model with smooth rotation, horse rotates fine but is a static object and only a silhouette) very good music memory, quite good sound memory, and good haptic memory (can remember a bunch of feelings, especially on my hands but not only). only thing that's a problem is i never ever remember any words, only the general meaning of what is said. i can never quote anything or recall a thing someone said a few minutes ago no matter what, i just remember what they talked about.

[@danielhawley2504]

Commenting before I watch it so I don't forget. That thumbnail is so freaking sick.

[@danktank4208]

8:28 There are times when I’m about to fall asleep and I’m just playing ror2 in my head and it feels so real

[@efp7247]

Lol I've done that before, but I feel like the best games to do this with for me are mario kart and smash bros. I have too much hours in them and can play them so well in my mind, I don't even have the urge to play them sometimes 💀

[@crypticnut]

my visualization is definitely a 3, but my memory is also INSANE. i remember my preschool campus, i remember damn near everyone’s name that i’ve ever met, i could memorize everyone’s name in every period i had during high school within the first week of school, entire random days ETC. i am very proud of it but it is such an odd thing to be proud of

[@nuzzlevee]

Personally i have like 0 mental visualizing (complete aphantasia) but perfect musical memory, often listen through full albums in my brain when I'm bored, it applies to 99% of voices ive heard. Its also pitch perfect, even though i dont have perfect pitch, if i think of a song with a C I'll hit the C vocally without any reference etc (though I am a professional musician so.)Its very interesting, great podcast

[@nuzzlevee]

Whats even more interesting is that I'm a diagnosed schizophrenic so while I cannot actively envision anything in my mind due to aphantasia, I hallucinate 100% accurate people and phenomena in my daily life. So my brain clearly can conjure images and concepts, just not in my control

[@GA-ku5qw]

I love your thumbnails!

[@themeepanaught]

Alternate video title: remembering things with Race

[@seraph535]

Around 3:55 I dont have the capacity to write, and when i do i dont really remember it. One of the things that made it hard for me to study

[@mythuu]

I love you race. you got me into ror2 before I even knew what any of it was and now I'm at 250 hours already

[@loganhuhtala784]

loved the conversation in this video!! i just wanna give my input on my ability to recall visual-0 auditory-0 i think thats why i also love dreaming lol

[@dummpymuppet7428]

ok good sir, giga visualizer here. my memory is solid all the way through, but i feel like its more because i get too anxious to be able to forget those things. also the apple test as i understand isnt entirely accurate it depends more on the ability to add to the visualization rather then just visualize. so describing the apple then someone asks you to add a table then describe the table. and you can do this indefinitely. take this with a grain of salt cause i dont have any source for this i just remember reading it somewhere. still super interesting topic and kinda annoying cause i cant control my brain automatically picturing every scenario described

[@snekuru]

i watched this stream, and thought he was doing the mental apple test on siphoned forest, rewatching it showed my visual memory

[@natespring2183]

Based on the thumbnail I thought this was a shitpost and passed over it 3 times before i noticed it was a Race vid, THEN i instaclicked

[@d-tergent7899]

I actually had 100% logbooks before SotV, but now I'm only missing Voidling it eludes me

[@RapidProbably]

I have no visual but I can hear music that’s really high quality in my head. Unfortunately my memory is TERRIBLE.

[@ravenruns8501]

This is my favorite Race video now

[@caleborg5688]

kami's truly the goat

[@samuelcunningham4526]

Something I started doing when I realized I was making mistakes on stages, forgetting to scrap, that kind of thing was pinging the item I wanted to come back to. So the question in my head before I leave the stage goes from "Am I forgetting anything before I leave?" to "What did I ping this stage?" It's a good mental prompt to help up my game.

[@blitz7488]

An idea about the physical vs mental memories is based on instincts and necessity. It is far more important to grasp the idea that the stove was hot and you shouldnt touch it, rather than the actual heat. Knowing differences in severity between 2 times you tripped and fell is not very important, but either situation is more memorable by how you feel or what you sensed. Its probably made that way because its more useful to know what lead you to getting hurt rather than what hurt you. On the other hand, i can perfectly recall the feeling of another person's hand if i have a strong emotional connection to them, which makes me think our brains just disregard physical pain sense specifically.

[@ArdentiOccasum]

2:14 I always knew race was a cyborg

[@oliverwatson6634]

Race has got to be my favorite kind of computer.

[@enderwar6187]

I love how the first comment of the video set the conversation for the rest of the video

[@metalurgent]

I remember reading a thing about an elderly lady who had lost 90% of her memory and could only perform basic human functions. She didnt recognize any of her family or her caretakers. However, she was still able to play and sing along to songs from her childhood on the piano

[@blitz7488]

8:28 if i play a specific game or have a specifically emotionally charged memory, i sometimes recall it in perfect clarity for weeks on end before, during, or directly after sleep. It usually comes as almost a video of my perspective and how i felt from a distance.

[@gorillacannon7844]

i can remember physical touch way more then anything else also as long as I'm given a prompt I have amazing memory out side of physical sensation

[@RacesVideos]

Super interesting!

[@cerret9703]

My memory is insane when it comes to numbers, I can remember the score I got on any test in basically any class, but anything else like history / words / names I can't remember well.

[@zahitkarabulut6570]

you left the second equipment barrel in the groove

[@midday-moonlight6867]

I’d say I have like 2, 2.5 for visualization, but 3+ for audio visualization. I can recall the exact texture and feel of pretty much any sound I’ve heard before. I can remember the exact qualities of people’s voices and even perfectly replicate them to the point where it feels like I’m hearing them talk. I can even replace my inner monologue with other people’s voices if I want. One time when I binge watched Phineas and Ferb my inner monologue actually got stuck as Doofenshmirtz for like a month which was a passively unpleasant experience

[@Paddy656]

The reason smell and memory are connected is because your olfactory nerves are right next to the memory centre of the brain. They're basically touching.

[@d-tergent7899]

if I'm not listening to music my brain is haunted by song every waking moment

[@LogiBearz]

yes i love risk forain 2

[@mothballsva]

while watching this video i realized that people aren’t talking theoretically or conceptually about “seeing” things in their head. i’m genuinely kinda pissed off that i can’t rotate a horse in my brain.

[@dankluck8077]

idk how kami cooks a 5 star meal on every single thumbnail but this one is no different

[@duckykevkev4337]

When I was young I would roll imaginary objects around in my mouth. I would try and bite down on them and never manage to do it and it would drive me insane. Race talking about how we have more nerve endings on our tongues somehow caused me to remember that. On the topic of rotating brain objects, I'm like a 2.35 on Race's scale. I can do simple colour, but unless I've seen the object a lot there are usually some details that shift and change. I have to use a lot of brain power to rotate something smoothly.

[@blitz7488]

Thanks for the psychology course dusguised as a ror2 video

[@amarques4091]

Thanks Kami!

[@Putoaduh]

I can visualize entire scenarios, movement, color, etc in high detail, and I can intentionally hear noises/music in my head. I have accidentally startled myself before by thinking about a very loud sound such as a gunshot lol. My memory is around a 7, but it used to be a 9 before I got ahold of a phone and trained myself to not memorize nearly as well. I don't feel a lot of pain and have never been seriously injured, so I don't have much in the way of knowing about physical pain, but I can feel my blood pumping through my body at any point in time if that means anything.

[@tymphony7617]

my grandma's smell of tobacco is a very specific flavor of marbolos and as a kid i used to visit her and watch max and ruby at like 6 in the morning while she would go and smoke so now when i go outside and smell that i think about max and ruby

[@Iranofideaswhilewritingthis334]

Memory is a strange lady, how am i able to recall what happened one random day some years ago and at the same time i forget where i put my keys on and the name of someone i see relatively frequently? It's both hilarious and kinda sad for me

[@ComfortChef]

I remember learning about the tongue haptic link and being like woah that's crazy. Then one time when I decided to visit Alice in Wonderland for the first time I remember I actually ended up getting the senses crossed and it was very not fun LOL. If I touched hair with my fingers I would feel it on my tongue. Also my visualization skill shot up tremendously and I could visualize like graphic novel levels of quality. Time perception was also ridiculously fucked. I work as a researcher and was chatting about it after to my mentor who's a neurologist and we had a blast talking about how weird the brain is.

[@teriyako4398]

I don't know why but I can visualize the taste and feel of something very well, my visual memory is somewhat normal I think, but my memory for sound is really bad.

[@NicoTheCinderace]

Let's goooooo, new Race Video!!!!

[@bryankopkin6869]

I just took a sporcle quiz for naming every item and I got 58/171 which is pretty good for the 13 mins it gives u

[@NickiRusin]

Here's the thing: I _think_ I am about a 2.5 on the apple scale, but there's not enough info for me to say for sure. Like, I can imagine an apple, it's detailed, and I can spin it, but it has to "occupy" some physical location, usually between my eyes or right in front of my face. I always thought the real apple rotators imagine the apple to be sort of "nowhere"? I don't really know, but it's interesting to consider that there are more levels to the scale than just seeing and spinning the apple.

[@fv4202x]

I love tabs too :) more tabs = more fun to have

[@anger3386]

my visualization is definitely 3 and i'd rank my memory around 8.5/10 but i NEVER remember my dreams. last dream i can recall happened like 6 years ago 🥴

[@sleeve.3995]

i think an item that works like mocha but instead of attack speed its crit chance would be really awesome. a half crit half speed item.

[@Pufftarot]

I hate Hunter's Harpoon, but if it was like Infusion and built up to 1.5 speed items or something that would be cool

[@jayr00d11]

An interesting additional point to the whole memory and visualization conversation I am color blind, but have pretty good mental visualization. So I can see an apple, I can visualize water drops going down it, I can even see the three horses that the chatter said, I can even change ovject's colors in my mind. Now, the color I see and the color normal vision people see is probably different. But if you say "visualize a red apple" I can do that But the moment you say "what color was the car that drove by" I would have no idea. My mind has learned to just assume my color instincts are off compared to others, so it has become a piece of information that I literally do not retain in memory. I literally can't even tell you what color the walls of the building I work at are

[@Spectre2552]

Being able to visualize and having good memory are definitely connected, but I don't think that having good visualization means you automatically have good memory, I think it is just a positive factor, and vice versa

[@GothySo]

High Quality apple green apple can see the little water drops on it o.O but i dont think its my own apple just an apple ive seen before

[@Xykru_]

Well i for one enjoy the talks

[@Ninjakitten_314]

I'm so stupidly high on both visual and audio, while active and doing stuff (not dozing off) I can picture someone doing something and hear their exact voice and accent saying almost whatever I want if ive heard them tank enough.

[@efp7247]

When I read ur commet I visualized obama raking outside saying "hello my fellow Americans" 😂

[@expakun]

I don't know if this is the best place to ask, but what do you think is the most balanced version of Void Fields? I am currently using the VoidFieldsTimerFix Mod to undo the recent changes to the timer, but I am still thinking about using a mod that also changes Void Fields back to how it was before the Meteor update (Void Fields added +1 to the stage count before that update), but I don't know if that would make it too unbalanced. I also never loop, so it would be nice to see some of the things that can normally only spawn on a loop spawn on stage 5.

[@valence0290]

maybe i take the word visual to seriously because i cant "see" the apple but i know that its there and its in perfect detail

[@valence0290]

touching on sound id say that im a 3, but the problem is i keep trying to put my own voice along side the sound in my head.

[@valence0290]

on physical, i can't remember what things feel like, but i can easily remember how it feels to do things

[@jgood1789]

I'm a 3 but my memory is odd, i can remember like stuff in school well but I forget other things so often

[@Hazelblock]

Hey I was there for this one ! Something i've been thinking about with the memory discussion is how strong of an association does colour have with memory? Because I basically never associate colour with memory, but i've talked to people who use it as their primary way to remember a given thing. Is that common or just do other people use it to remember things too?

[@OhHeck_Logs]

I have aphantasia, so for me I literally can't imagine things. Which is really difficult as someone trying to learn creative writing and art, but oh well

[@anonymus3219]

Awesome thumbnail

[@0x4A8]

my sound memory is like a 9-10. but for visual i cant really make things like appear in my mind but i can pick out a memory of where ive seen it and can display that

[@renewalacumen1770]

When it comes to the visualization test, I'm at a 2.9. I can visualize anything, but it takes time to "render" it in. But to the question of memory because of being a visual/auditory thinker, I have terrible short term memory, I can remember something that was said to me four days ago without any reminders because my mind fully processed that conversation. It isn't debilitating, but if you flashed a picture of an animal with unique traits, then asked me to draw it, I'll struggle. If you gave me a paragraph describing a person, their ethicity, their eye color, and facial expressions, I'll be able to draw a detail image of them.

[@Jellycent13]

Giga vidualizer here, i am VERY bad at remembering daily things such as mails ive sent in the morning, phone calls ive made through the day or what forms I've filled yesterday. Despite being absolute ass at short term things, i can remember omega autistic things such as pokemon base stats, framedata of characters i don't play in fighting games and how things scale in games like ror2. I wonder if the short term thing has something to do with Dyslexia. Oh i can also recognize gen 1-3-4-5-6 pokemon just based on their cries

[@RacesVideos]

Interesting! Maybe try associating an action with another while you’re doing it, like when you send some mail associate that action in the moment with something you do remember, or actually jump up in real life, you’re more likely to remember something associated with the mailing more than the mailing

[@Sterkson92]
