I'm hoping this guy turns out like I imagine he might - is pretty difficult for me because I have aphantasia.
@kcanis me too! Was just chatting about this with other folks recently and it’s impact (or lack of impact) on artistic ability. Putting my artistic/design process into words was a really interesting exercise.
In any case, RAT! squeee!
@twigmouse I do have this theory that while a aphantasia makes me a much worse artist, I think it makes me a better engineer because it's caused me to have to grow my spatial reasoning a lot more. I'm able to conceptualize complex systems software systems and their interactions pretty well.
@kcanis I agree and I wrote about that very topic (with examples) in a local chat! Also, this video talks about how those of us with Aphantasia probably actually DO create mental images but don’t have conscious experience of them like most people do. The “rotated object” test is a cool way to demonstrate that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avI0KtmNpo8
