Unless you have aphantasia. People with aphantasia are unable to mentally visualize. I close my eyes and it’s just blackness all the time.

Aphantasia is very intriguing for me. Everytime I try to think about it, I just can’t picture it.

I can’t visualize a tetris block, much less a whole tetris game. I think I could draw all the tetris blocks if I tried so the information is there, just not stored as jpg. More like a zipped text file.

Yeah I have the same thing. I can sort of visualize the concept, like foggy still images of tetris games I’ve played but I cannot imagine a game setup where a piece would fall and complete a line. That is too specific. I can just do like general concepts, not specifics.

So how you for ex, do you orient yourself in space? I visualize a map, and then position myself accordingly
