When not thinking about it, do you notice your blinking?
I feel like it's one of those autonomic behaviors like breathing where it only really becomes noticeable when you think about it, but I'm not sure.
I believe your brain will just kind of edit them out, similar to how it edits out your nose or glasses.

This thread is cursed. Everything is manual now.

Alone in the Dark has a blinking mechanic that made me really think about it.
The worst one for me is thinking about salivating and swallowing

Nah most people don't even notice we have a blind spot in each eye, our brains just ignore most of our sensory data.

5 0 ReplyIf I'm tired or had bad sleep the night before, blinking can make my whole view kinda wobble. So I notice it then without previously thinking about it. But otherwise no not really. I have to at least be thinking of it somewhat to notice it.
