A Couple of Completely Unrelated Questions

KyleCamelot

Hey there, couple of really unrelated questions.

1st. There used to be a game, I think it was called LSD, and it was a browser based text adventure game. If I remember correctly, I think it was about trying to get into a college, and was humorous. I think I found it on Happy Puppy when it was more about finding web games. This might've been 15 years ago now. Anyway, I can't find a single thing about it, but I'm sure it exists! Anyone remember this game, or can find any information about it?

2nd. I shiver and get extremely cold when I scratch my sheets. Or a coat made of nylon. Or even think about doing such things. I'm not sure if this is a common thing, but I, again, can't find any information about it online.

Any help on getting information on these two topics is appreciated.

2. Are you actually getting extremely cold or do you just feel like you're getting cold? I think a lot of people have similar reactions to bits rubbing against each other (fingers on chalkboard or synthetic fabrics or other stuff) mostly accompanied by the goosebumps more than anything else.

A friend of mine would do the shiver thing when scratching his finger along the rough surface of those image-shifting cards, the ones where you tilt them back and forth to simulate motion of whatever the image is. It's pretty common. He'd shiver if he even heard the sound of someone doing it nearby.

2. is a basic human reaction that appears to vary completely from person to person. I get it for fingernails over silk and (matt just reminded me of this) those image shifting cards, too.

Maybe I'm just showing my age, but almost everyone I've ever talked to has that shiver reaction to fingernails on a blackboard. But blackboards got replaced with whiteboards and marker pens in most schools so maybe kids these days don't run into blackboards anymore. (Get off my lawn!)

My school had touch screen whiteboards that displayed from a normal PC

I am 23.

Anyway the goosebumps thing is extremely common, I get it on nylons and similar textiles.
