Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

I've entered enough rooms like that and flipped on the lights only to get yelled at, "hey what are you doing!?" to know to ask before acting. It is a little weird that after asking and finding out its darker for no apparent reason they just go with it though.

Oh totally. I get the asking. I do not get the going with it part.

For me, retaining information, especially game rules, is something that contains both visual and somatic components (pun intended)... My mind tends to index information in rule books not primarily by chapter number or page numbers but by retaining a "physical map" of the book itself - by the time I've read a particular game rule enough times to learn it well, I can pick up that book without looking at it and open it up to within one or two pages of the one it's on.

This is the only reason I ever buy physical rule books at all anymore, and only for corebooks. Because I can often find the approximate area for a general rules search in them faster than using a digital search.

(I'm not quite to your state on that, but I'll also do a visual recognition as I'm flipping through it that I'm getting close. In some ways it reminds me of navigating to a place I've been to many times; I can so so most of the time without looking at street names because that store is there, and the curve in the road looks like this.)
