Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

someone needs to write a paper on the fact that the faces look exactly like original oblivion characters, down to the lighting and colour palettes

I've been taking pretty decent care of my brain my whole life and now you just broke it you jackass.

What is supposed to be happening, exactly? The gif doesn't explain shit.

Ordinary women turn into Oblivion create-a-characters.

Darn, mine only looked like Morrowind. Guess I'll get my casket ready...

When you keep your eyes on the cross it makes the faces in the periphery seem distorted. Whenever you look at the faces they are normal though

Ahhh. I couldn't tell, because it flashed through them super fast.

Yup, looked weird to me, like some only had one central eye, or they looked mishapen. But since I was focused on the cross, they were out of focus, so it didn't seem very significant that I couldn't see them clearly and they looked weird?

Then for the last couple of seconds the faces started appearing in the centre of the screen, where I was looking. But they looked normal then, so don't know of they started showing the same faces on either side so my brain started compostiting each eyes vision into a single central face. And that made me wonder if that's what was suppose to happen with grotesque faces, they were suppose to composite and appear clearly but gross? Rather than just vague and peripheral.

They didn't look distorted to me. Even in my periphery, they didn't look distorted. I guess I'm not normal.

They looked totally normal to me. I thought the “instructions” meant the actual face wasn’t going to change, so I was very confused. They all change, but just look like normal faces to me.

So that's how we really look like.
