The latest thing on the Internet is people pretending to be uncannily-looping video game character animations [1]

['Rob Beschizza']

Date: 2023-07-14

This thread on Twitter collects the unnerving performances of streamers who have mastered an art you now know exists: pretending to be the looping animations of performance-captured characters in games. "I'm not even being ironic," writes Dave Szymanski. "As someone who loves horror, the visceral discomfort stuff like this creates should be admired."

Embeds below; forgive any repetitions caused by Twitter's completely messed-up stacks.
