Watching "They Live!" has opened my eyes to how often the movie is referenced, as if I put on the same sunglasses

  This is a effect called “Frequency illusion”

  The frequency illusion (also known as the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon) is a cognitive bias in which a person notices a specific concept, word, or product more frequently after recently becoming aware of it

    No, it’s because it stay in cache, and when the simulation is overloaded, it directly takes an asset already resident in cache instead of loading a new one. Like the car in GTA3: x.com/ObbeVermeij/status/1790730197286752530?ref=…

    Like when you buy a car you think you’ve not seen many of and suddenly you see them everywhere

    I’m aware of the illusion, but very few topics feel as meta as this one

  I felt that way about watching the human centipede which I did by total accident. It is constantly being referenced and I would never have understood any of it. I literally heard a refence to it in the past couple of days.

  Listened to Kraftwerk’s “Autobahn” today for the first time to a very similar effect.
