This video wasn't that complicated, especially compared to his other ones. It's also almost entirely useless, except for the amusing demo desync.
>>340727164
It could potentially save some A presses on some levels by not needing you to jump to get back into the level but yeah it's more just a curiosity piece just like his coin limit vid.
Why did he stop narrating again?
>>340727164
It wasn't complicated in the slightest but, but boy this guy should never be a teacher.
What an utter autist
>some guy triggered /v/ so hard they made a meme out of him
hardly surprising, but still
Rainbow Ride is probably easy as fuck to do jumpsless since half of it is waiting on carpets.
>>340727615
or maybe all autists should be teachers
>>340727615
He's actually a teacher tough
>>340726520
Do these videos demonstrate that Mario 64 is the pinnacle of video game development, or that it was very poorly made?
I never understood that bit.
>>340727615
I understand why would you call him an autist for breaking the game with retarded a presses gimmick, but most of his video are mostly explanations for game mechanics. How is that more autistic than programming the game itself? I don't view these videos as glitches explanations, but rather specific overviews of game design choices
>>340727615
Well, he's actually a teacher.
>>340728050
In a thread the other day someone said he was a Computer Science student not a teacher. Which one is it?
>>340727615
He's a dude who loves what he studies and likes to explains shit to others, literally the best kind of teacher.
>>340728209
Neither. They simply demonstrate the logic behind mechanics in the game.
Why are you guys on his dick so much dont you have anything better to do?
Is it seriously that easy to do? just exit the level while on a moving platform? How come I've never seen that happen?
>>340728209
It's nothing special.
Videos like these could be made for 99% of video games out there.
>>340728412
why are you on an online image board about fucking video games? don't you have anything better to do?
-quote from your dad
was it autism?

it only works on the japanese version, ie it does not work on the english version
>>340728412

Wtf is this boring shit
>>340728592
If it was just this one video, I'd say it could go either way. Seeing the catalogue of his other videos makes it absolutely guaranteed autism

With all this reverse engineering of SM64 behaviour this guy has been doing, why hasn't anyone made a GNU/SuperTux64 clone?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpk2tdsPh0A
So this is my first time seeing this video
My brain is mush
help
i never asked for this
>>340729250
can't be bothered. What would the value be anyway? The game exists and emulates well enough. You can run it on a gnu system at any time
An A press is an a press you can't say it's only half
>>340726520
This video is actually really fascinating, and more interesting than usual.
If you go to the 8 minute mark, he manages to make the demo fucked up because he exicted the level in a certain way.
>>340728231
I don't know if you've ever met any programmers, but all the best ones are definitely on the spectrum
>>340728527
>your favorite game will never be painstakingly analyzed and visually documented by a computer science teacher
Why live
you guys need to give the key of this meme more attention

>>340728324
autists make terrible teachers though, they just babble on and don't give a shit if they're being understood or not.
>>340729326
But anon, I don't want to play as a fat plumber. I want to play as one of my GNU approves heroes!

Hello my sweet summer child
>>340730393
this thread is not so much about video games as it is about bugs and coding, which is pretty damn uninteresting for consumers
>>340730701
>this thread isn't about videogames as it is about videogames
>>340730701
Bugs and coding IN VIDEOGAMES.
>>340730754
>>340730797
that's completely secondary to the vast majority of people. They're into games to play, not to code.
>>340730886
You're a special breed of retard. Please go back to the eceleb threads
>>340730917
yeah, I'm a coder.
>>340730886
>code
You can find this interesting without knowing the first thing about code. If you play videogames an hour a day at least you will run into bugs all the time. I haven't met anyone who's played games a lot and didn't find bugs at least somewhat interesting.
>>340730886
>vast majority of people
i thought /v/ was cooler than them ;_;
>>340728751
Summertime.
Should I grab Mario 64 using my My Nintendo gold coins?
Or should I just hold onto them in the vague hope something better will go up?
>>340731003
>You can find this interesting without knowing the first thing about code
right. You need an interest in engines and the math behind them. I used coding as shorthand for taking apart the engine
>I haven't met anyone who's played games a lot and didn't find bugs at least somewhat interesting.
always in the "huh, odd" kind of way, and then they move on. If you actually take apart a bug with them, they'll become bored, confused or both, and move on.
>>340731047
/v/ is quite representative for normal people. Just with a shitload of trolling and memes on top of it, which is them trying to fit in
>>340729729
Maybe if you like sloppy, unreadable programs this is true
>>340727393
a lot of work for him
also hes said in some of the comments, he wont narrate the videos on his alt channel
>>340726520
Cunt
>>340728231
>but most of his video are mostly explanations for game mechanics. How is that more autistic than programming the game itself?
you get paid to program
>>340731198
Memes and trolling are part of normality on the internet now too. Just check 9gag comments section or any other popular website for normies
>>340731526
yeah, although not as densely as on here. Also, I heard rumors that some people have lifes outside of the internet. Just rumors though
Someone explain the Henry thing please. I've seen most of the videos but must have missed this.
Scuttlebug jamboree?

(Skip to 1:07 if it doesn't already.)
You'll probably want to watch the entire thing, though, it's basically what started the entire meme.
>>340731946
He was trying to protect us.
>>340728231
This respawn bug is not a game design choice, it's a just an interesting thing.
He shows one potentially useful clip through the floor that lands him straight into lower castle.
At the end, he shows that there is a ton of potential for this glitch if you know which objects overwrite which.
It's probably only useful in TAS gameplay, but learning and sharing more opens up more potential glitches and discoveries.

This is still great the second time around. Holy shit I love it.

He's a teaching assistant in CS/Maths.

When does he say BUT FIRST?

These videos are brilliant.
If only they were about something useful
>>340731001
Is this loss?
>>340726520
5 /-\ presses, we cn do better.
>all these autism comments
Do you guys not know what autism is.
>>340727164
It saves A presses for TTC. Landing on the clock edge saves a jump needed to reenter the level.
>>340735031

that depends
my highschool history teacher was like that but he was actually interesting, but then again I'm into 4x and GS games so I was already interested in history.

What the fuck is TJ "Henry" Yoshi even wearing on his face?
So this shit doesn't apply to most other games? Only Mario 64 gets this crazy or is it because this particuly person focuses only on Mario 64

it happens in other games as well, but it's usually harder to isolate the causes. Mario 64 is a useful example because it's one of the more complex simple 3D games. We're in early console 3D, where very little happens in terms of game logic and physics engines, so it's very possible to establish cause and effect relationships. Other 3D games of the time are more simple in their engine though, so these things happen less often. Modern 3D games are more complex, with a lot of engine aspects depending on so many little details, they're difficult to analyse and replicate
>>340727615
why? he's good at explaining
>>340738026
Nobody cared who he was until he put on the mask
So this is the power of 「Rotation」
>>340726520
all this stupid study filler, just to watch a cool demo desync
>>340739504
the "filler" is necessary to understand why and how the demo desyncs. Because of it, it stops being a glitch, something seemingly random firing wrong in your N64, and turns into a bug, a predictable deterministic behavior that can be replicated at will. That is quite a feat.
>>340733991
comp sci?
>>340733041
>assistant
lol come back when he's a real teacher
>>340739758
yeah props to that, i agree
but many will lose interest because the video is too detailed
>>340739085
It has been a truly, truly roundabout path
If this guy is so smart and has debunked the game so hard why doesn't he have the speed running world record?
it's because heart>>>science, that's why.
>>340740991
He is doing something greater than shaving frames off the TAS speedrunning record. He is going to beat the entire game without pressing the A button. That's right. he will beat a whole Mario game without pressing the jump button.
>>340733041
>>340739875
I study CS and I've had TAs that were better than a lot of """"""""real"""""""" teachers I've had
>>340740991
because speed running and what he's doing are two entirely different things you oinker
>>340733991
How about you start by looking at the material handed out for lectures, buy the lecture notes or look through the related books available in the library?
I have never had any major problem with that.
>>340741308
There's literally one A press required to beat the game and no known solution.
>>340742034
Well if people already knew the solution, then figuring it out wouldn't be an achievement, now would it?
>>340728008
I hardly mind; the videos are wonderful and relaxing. It really bites that it takes people meming it up to get it popular outside of the speedrunning community, but I'm glad I found his videos.
>>340742135
The only thing they haven't managed to cheese yet is vertical movement. It's why the elaborate scuttlebug setup is necessary.
You would need to get an enemy into the pole room, a bob-omb to the ground floor, find a way to "store" a lava boost, or something else
>>340728025
Depends on the star. For a couple of them, you need to manipulate Latiku and/or Shy Guy (not pic related) to get to it. If you go back and play the levels, you find yourself jumping a surprising amount, even during the parts pianokek doesn't need to fuss with the AI.

>>340728445
Japanese version only, and it only lasts for a single frame. Remember, only with the fast spinning ones and the complex axis did you see anything more than "oh, Mario spawns a few unnoticeable inches to the left or right."
>>340731868
