MEME MAGIC DOES IT AGAIN
AUTISM
>>341657986
>>341657810
Okay, TJ "Henry" Yoshi. I want to see you beat BBH Big Boo's in zero (4) A presses.
I fucking love this guy
>>341656860
HE'S BACK
Can't wait for the commentary version.
>>341657986
He wrote a script for the input, and definitely didn't do that manually, right?
>>341659131
Mods better not crackdown on the threads this time. I mean, God forbid we talk about video games here.
I don't get it? What was the point?
I don't see what he accomplished
>>341656860
>13 hours of seemingly arbitrary movements before doing something that looks like it didn't even require all that prep work
I-i don't understand
>>341659232
everything he does is TAS
it looks like it isn't because it's not a speedrun, so he doesn't care about efficiency, just timing
>>341659626
did you not see him literally levitate to the third floor?
>>341659541
It means we, as a species, are one step closer to completing Mario 64 without pressing the A button. Part of the entry exam to join the Galactic Federation along with Time Travel and Faster than Light travel.
>>341659626
This video will explain it and fill you in on our dank memes.

>>341659541
>>341659626
Once all the A presses have been removed, the universe will be reborn.
>>341659793
Ohhhhhhhhhh, now I understand. I didn't get it at first because the scuttlebugs were invisible at that point.
>>341659843
>>341659898
But he jumped a bunch of times
>>341659541
He's doing a challenge run where he's trying to get all 120 stars without pressing the A button.
He figured out a strategy to do it for this star by moving scuttlebugs around and raising their height by getting them to lunge and despawning them halfway through, then respawning in a slightly different spot so they start the lunge over in the opposite direction. He explained this in more detail in his Rolling Rocks video, the one that made him a meme. Here he did it to a group of scuttlebugs instead of just one though, and it was a much more complex pattern requiring him to run around the house, which is why it took thirteen hours.
Why does he have 2 separate channels?
dump QPU memes
>>341660064
Those were dives, not jumps. Not the A button.
>>341660064
No he didn't, he slid and got airtime from the slide and from prematurely ending the slide, and sometimes bounced off enemies to gain extra height.
>>341659854
My real question is what anon discovered this video and watched at 25 minutes of it the first time?
>>341660064
But he didn't press the A button
>>341660082
One is for normies.
>>341660082
One is his major channel where he only posts commented videos of major breakthroughs, and the other is for little things, explanations about the physics of the game, etc.
He only posted this here on his second channel because he hasn't polished it up with his commentary yet.
>Note that although I’m posting this ABC strat here, this in no way affects the eventual release of the same strat on my main channel. The fact of the matter is that I had TASed this strat back in December 2015, and since then it’s been held up in the koek system for 6 months without any clear sign of when it will be made into a video on that channel. In other words, koek’s need for visuals, auxiliary screens, thorough glitch explanations, and commentary has caused the release of this video to be repeatedly delayed. Consequently, I decided that in the meantime, I could just post an unpolished version of the strat on this channel. If you desire visuals, auxiliary screens, thorough glitch explanations, and commentary for this strat, then simply wait until its eventual release on my main channel. But for everyone who’s willing to forsake those things in order to see the strat, now they can.
>>341660082
The main channel is for finished commenated stuff now, second channel is for testing and things like his older vids on the main channel

>>341660694
t. TJ "Henry" Yoshi
>>341660674
People wouldn't stop being "Henry"s about it even though he had an explanation in the description, so he brought it up in a video directly.
It didn't help though since people like >>341660694 continue to be "Henry"s about it.
>>341660064
If I'm not mistaken, he might have been HOLDING the A button, which allows you to kind of jump out of your dives with the b button. You can do lots of mini jumps, but nothing higher than the jump out of a dive. This is what the whole half an a press/henry meme is all about
>>341660674
It seems like the dude is just reaching because he's buttblasted you can't beat the game with 0
Wait when did the scuttlebugs come into play?
>>341660694
but he didn't press the a button while in the level. He pressed the A button outside of the level,and he completed the star while only holding the a button
>>341660879
Who?
>>341659363
Sup. I see you didn't commit suicide yet despite many people here suggested it.
At least think about it, champ.
>>341661130
He bounced off of them in the bookcase room. I don't know why they are invisible.
I can't hear the SM64 file select music without thinking of this channel now.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HhdZMpSvXg
>>341661130
That's what boosted him when he jumped to the top floor, they were invisible
>>341661130
he used them in the room with the books, to get up to the balcony which normally requires wall kicking. Which is why there were like 4 little squeals in a row.
>13 hours
>>341661193
>He pressed the A button outside of the level
How do we really know he didn't press it inside the level?
>>341661046
>he might have been HOLDING the A button
No that's a half A press. Those dives were just hitting the B button

All these saved A presses
All these scuttlebugs
>>341661286
>they were invisible
THEN HOW DOES HE KNOW WHERE THEY ARE?
At some point he's going to have to press A.
His dreams will die soon enough.
>>341661265
>>341661286
>>341661370
I thought they couldn't leave their native room.
>>341660674
It's pretty pointless but so is everything if you consider entropy. Then it becomes apparent that anything done that was, at least at some point, deemed impressive or useful then that is at best better than doing nothing; which is highly likely what those who make fun of him figuring these things out do.
Just admire his autism and move on, I guess.
>>341661448
Oh, ok. I thought you had to at least be holding the A button to jump out of the dive
>>341661401
I guess we don't know for sure, but the important part is that he didn't do any maneuvers that require the A button, so that in practice, you could replicate this, while at most holding the A button from a previous star
>>341661523
The man has a very intimate knowledge of the game mechanics, all the way to the code level. He knows exactly how to manipulate their AI.
>>341661570
The stage with the most A presses left is tick tock clock. There's like 6 left in that stage alone.
>>341661490

By constantly looking out for stuff to fuck with, and studying the game in great detail, plus having a good understanding of computers as a basis
What always gets me is that, as old is M64 is, and as long as we've been able to emulate it, there's still all this undiscovered shit. Makes you wonder what sort of stuff we could dig out of games that haven't had significantly improved speedrun routes in years.

>>341661767
The most vile A press is the one in Bowser in the fire sea. It's the only one preventing a 0x 70 star run.
>>341661401
Because he would've performed the jump animation. An A press has a visible tell as it actively affects the character.
This guy must have gotten mario 64 for xmas one year and never quit playing
>>341662472
>tfw that pole was Bowser's greatest creation
>>341661265
They where invisible because they were in a vertical PU
he raised those bugs high enough that it's collision detection(which gets converted to a short, just like mario) is treated as if it was on the real map. The visuals for the bugs are exactly 65536 units above the bookcases
>>341662332
>Chapter 22 never
I want to know what the fuck is going on with the black-haired Hindo in the cover.
Do you guys think this is bowers evil test? To make mario beat the game without any A presses?
So do we know the minimum A presses required for a full 120 star run?
I like this because if I ever feel like a loser, I just need to remember that there is some autistic dude out there spending countless hours dissecting an N64 game.
>>341663194
He has a video showing "the remaining A presses", i.e. the ones he has yet to figure out how to save, but it's outdated and he's saved a bunch since then.
It's around 20 I think.
>>341663201
Then you also remember that this person is much more famous, popular, liked, and has created more original content and discussion than you ever have. You have less to show for your time than someone who spends all their free time grinding down A presses for fun
>>341663201
How many people have you made happy today?
>>341663194
Only one is required for an any% run.
>>341663314
That's what I was guessing. So he found a way to get 100 of the 120 stars without pressing the a button once.
>>341663482
It's more than 100. There are a few stars that require several presses.
>>341663410
>much more famous, popular, liked, and has created more original content and discussion
Oh, please. Like all that isn't just people being ironic/pity. And if it isn't, then they're as much fools as he is.
I stand by what I said.
>>341663201
When I need to feel happy I just remember I'm not Anthony Burch.

Read your own sentence again, if it happened in a difference stage, then it doesn't count.
>>341664816
please go and open a fucking dictionary and see what "press" means
a fucking dualshock 2 canbe half pressed because the controller supports that
you can't half press a fucking ninty 64 controller
>all these neurotypicals in the thread
lmao stay jealous peasants
>>341664997
>keeps it going
Impressive resolve
>>341664997
A half press is a half press.
You are the one who should go to read a dictionary, take all the non-half-A-press believers with ye.
>>341664963
my sentence is perfectly fine, that doesn't change the fact that the autist reinvented the definition of word press
he literally claims to press a button you have to release it afterwards or it doesn't count as a press
he's a master bullshitter and an autist if he thinks his logic is actually sound
>>341664997
Dem scuttles, dem fucking scuttles...
>>341665061
Oh, I'll stay jealous. I'll stay so jealous that I won't end up spending hundreds, if not thousands of hours trying to get through Mario 64 only doing quarter A-presses with my nutsack or whatever the fuck he's up to.
>>341665234
If you press it before the stage then it means it's before the stage, ergo meaning it didn't happen during the stage, ergo meaning it's half a press because it happened before stage.
>>341664997
I'll explain it in short
You press the button, mario jump
You hold the button, mario goes further than normal when falling
you release the button, nothing special happens
Thus, the only useful parts are pressing, and holding
he doesn't press the button in the level, he just holds it
he's using half the function of the a button
This process is colloquially shortened to "half a press"
>>341665341
>mad that he couldn't beat Tick Tock Clock
>>341665408
you literally don't understand what press means do you? literally
it just means you PRESS the button you press it down, you're holding the button, the state of pressing has happened, a FULL COMPLETE PRESS
what occurs next is button RELEASE, not the second half of pressing, don't be fucking retarded
>>341656860
>13 hours of
He did that for 13 hours??
>>341664787
I'm going to start this by saying I am not a depressed person, just realistic...
Nothing matters, everything dies, it all ends. So if something is impressive in a sad way it's still mother fucking cunt nabbit impressive.
The only time I can think where I'd agree that someone can say this dude is not impressive is if they've done something more impressive. Which 99.4% of 4chan can't fucking say and 99.99991% of /v/ can't say.
>Hey, whatever works.
I kind of liked you a bit more after that.
I think we should encourage this guy to keep this shit going because one day his passion may turn towards science and that mother fuckers sheer determination could quite literally cure some shit.

>>341665425
>You press the button, mario jump
>You hold the button, mario goes further than normal when falling
here I'll stop you rigth now
what you call a button press is actually a press and button release
the problem is that the guy reinvented the dictionary definition of the word and tries to force it down poeples' throats
>>341665569
You're retarded. If it happens BEFORE the stage then it happens BEFORE the situation, meaning it must be HALF because the stage he is holding the button down and release during the stage, meaning when he's holding the button it's during the loading/actual stage. The press happens before.
>>341665638
Probably tool assisted, is that really so hard to work out?
The reason it's called a half A-press is because in a full run of the game it's not actually an extra A-press in that stage, it's one held over from a previous level. Hence why, in the context of looking at the level individually, it's a "half" A-press. Obviously an actual half press on a non-pressure sensitive button isn't possible, you fucking retards.
>>341656860
>13 HOURS OF SCUTTLEBUG RAISING LATER

I don't doubt that autists would actually do such a thing for 13 hours.

>>341665638
He says in the comments that he recorded the inputs and let the computer play for him for 13 hours.
>>341665758
I'm sure the TAS community all collectively agreed to use that terminology. And even if they didn't, you're arguing semantics.
>>341665341
>quarter A-presses
A half A-press is a half A-press, you can't say it's a quarter
>>341666120
he never acknowledged this as terminology he claims it;s correct wording, which is a flat out lie
>>341661089
You could still call them no jump runs at least.
But no a presses is a stretch
>>341663194
Undertale faggotry is Undertale faggotry. You can't say it's only half-faggy.
>guy spends thousands of hours exploiting super mario 64 bugs
>some people actually get angry and offended at this
He has an ABC route spreadsheet up on Google Docs. Blue numbers mean A must NOT be held, so any subsequent half A presses require A to be pressed again.
>>341666017
Well, being a mild autist myself.. We are known for doing repetitive shit. But still, 13 hours of _precisely_ the same movements. 1 single fuckup and it's all fucked. Restart. GG, no RE.
Only the most disturbingly devoted Autist would do such a thing without a tool assist. Furthermore, I'd like to know what controller he's using, as whatever I plug into my PC breaks far too quickly. I have an Afterglow with a partially fucked thumbstick.
>>341663194
34 so far.
>>341665758
>>341666328
You might as well complain about the definition of PU's then. The same word meaning different things in different contexts is not unheard of in the English language.
>>341665917
And that would have been no problem if he acknowledged that his "half A press" is a made up term for a situation where the game does not recognize the button being pressed down and held, but only held because it happens after memory is flushed and the new stage begins. He made fun of the guy for trying to force his dumb logic onto people for fuck's sake.
>>341666328
Terminology = wording. If it's the correct terminology, then it's the correct wording.
>>341656860
>20 hours of preparation to do an, admittedly, cool looking jump up to an area that you can already reach easily enough by walljumping
This is some fucking autism. Even if you could streamline this shit so that the scuttlebugs are in position automatically, it's still slower than simply wall-jumping up there.
>>341666746
Look the autism here is that he defends his term of being able to half press a button as logically sound language wise. He even made a stupid visualization of his fallacious logic. He only had to say "it's just a way to call this thing that happens in the game", but instead he started making flawed logic for it claiming it's right.
>>341666769
>Dumb logic
There is no logic involved here. For the purposes of SM64 TAS runs, a button press is considered pushing and releasing the button, and a half-button press is pushing and not releasing the button.
>>341667069
But walljumping takes A presses
the whole point is to NOT press A.
It's a challenge run. it's silly to say "wow he could have just done the whole thing easier by not doing the challenge"
>>341667069
This isn't a speedrun, dipshit.
>>341661523
He TASes, not to save time, but because he needs precision, access, information, special camera handling, etc. (Why do you think the S stands for superplay now?) The resulting file is basically a piano roll for a player-piano N64 emulator/controller.
>>341667069
>jumping in a Mario game
Fuck off casual.
>>341667181
That's fine. However, when somebody says "you can't half press a button in this game", you should respond "that's right, but we use this term to describe what actually happens". Instead he made it into an argument.
>>341667069
You should see his video where he tries to explain how pressing a button halfway doesn't count as a button press
Because fuck logic, right? Pressing down a button isn't pressing down a button until you also release the button.
I can get all 120 stars without pressing the "A" button once. Ever. Not even a half "A" press. I don't actually even need the button at all.
>Pic related, it's my controller.
>>341666431
Sure thing TJ """"toby"""" Fox.
>>341667525
An A button's an A button. You can't say it's only a button.
>>341667459
>You should see his video where he tries to explain how pressing a button halfway doesn't count as a button press
Which video would that be?
>>341667107
I think he's working under the assumption that people are smart enough to understand that the words have different meanings when used in this particular context.
>>341667459
Exactly what I'm trying to say. He's so autistic he confuses the actual things done in real life with TAS terminology.
>>341667459
>Pressing down a button isn't pressing down a button until you also release the button
But that's true.
>>341661490 All these saved A presses
Yeah. All of them. A year ago Big Boo's Haunt required like 2 A presses per star (source: Google spreadsheet as of a couple weeks ago). This is amazing.
>>341667181
Pressing a button is pressing a button
Releasing it changes nothing about the action: pressing
If you press a button halfway, you pressed a button.
>>341667459
This was already fucking explained "Henry".
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTa4POsAmJc
>>341667639
If he were smart enough, he would have known how to explain it. What the player does is different to what made up term you apply to what the game registers. He should be able to tell the difference between the two.
>>341667684
Did you press a button? Yes? Then you pressed a button. Releasing it has nothing to do with the action of pressing it.
>>341667859
He literally did explain it in a perfectly clear way that was understood by multiple posters ITT who have tried several times to explain it to you
At this point it isn't his fault, it's yours
>>341667883
You fucking autismo retard.
If you press, you gotta hold, then you gotta release.
If you do one, you get three actions.
Jesus it's like explaining the trinity.
>>341667596
There is no "A" button you dumb cunt.
I use that fucking blue button a lot though.
>>341667810
Wrong. He's operating under the context that he can change the definition of the word "press". He's not trying to explain a game term, he's trying to justify it by incorrectly defining an existing term.
>>341666432
People actually send Ashens death threats and all that guy does it review shitty knock-offs and snacks.
>>341668014
Pressing a button and releasing a button are two different actions. It's not hard to understand, even for autists with anger problems.
>>341667972
No. He explained what his made up terminology encompasses, but that doesn't change the fact that you cannot half press a button on an N64 controller. A fact that he should have acknowledged when responding to the person who questioned his claim in the first place.
>>341659854
>>341660265
I don't know, but that very first thread, from a time before pannenkeokposting became 2016's dankest meme and just generally became super overdone on /v/, was like a revelation of Eldritch Truth-tier autism.
>>341667883
If you press the button without releasing it, you can get two button presses out of one button press if you plan properly. First, you use the button to jump. Then, you can use the hold for something else.
If your run requires half A presses, you will never be able to finish it in less than 1 A press.
>>341668021

IS AN A BUTTON
YOU CAN'T SAY IT'S ONLY A BLUE BUTTON

No it isn't. It's both the same action. You press a key, then you let go, that's one press. It's both in tangent. If you don't you geeeeeeet you hoooooooooooold the key
>>341668014
Wrong. In reality, you must press hold release. But in TAS, you can press but not hold or release. Its the advanyGe of being tech ans not human.
>>341667789
wtf is this cancer
>>341668225
Now I like you.
>>341668197
Did you press down a button? Yes? Then you pressed a button. Whether or not you release it doesn't affect that you pressed it to get to that point.

A press only involves pressing down the button, holding it or releasing it is separate from that completed action.
>>341668380
>But in TAS, you can press but not hold or release.
Then it happened before the stage ergo it would be half.
>>341667789
I can't decide if this is cringey or adorable.
>>341668294
>>341668352
Right, but he's arguing that it's "half a button press"
>>341661401
Because we can look at the input file and play it back on our own computers.
>>341668635
No he isn't
>>341668479
Okay, you 'press' A.
Now press A again.
Oh you can't, because you haven't finished the first press yet.
>>341667459
Actually no, he does count it as a button press, you're misunderstanding it. It's just that for the purpose of one level, it doesn't count as pressing the A button again, but in the full run it does count as an A press.
>>341668479
>>341668335
An A press involves three actions. Simply pressing the button down directly is 1/3rd of it.
>>341668479
Oh, if that's your metric
Then he did the stage in 0 a presses.
he never pressed the button during the stage, so it's 0.
>>341668652
looks like pennywise the clown
>>341668352
Press and release thoses are two different words for 2 different thingas that nore ofteb than not done inw after another.
>>341666686
>>341663314
It's 31 atm.
>>341668754
See the part where it says "press"? That's one action.
>>341668546
>A press only involves pressing down the button
Which happens before the stage. Holding it or releasing it are both involved in the pressing action. It's a complete action.
>>341668839
You mean a beginning, middle and end?
>People still don't understand the concept of the half press even when he explains it at grade-school level in the video
Pro tip: It doesn't actually have anything to do with how the button is pressed or what he's using it for.
All it is meant to do is signify that the actual amount of A presses required to get that star varies depending on whether it's a full game run or just a run of that star. If he says something requires a "half A press" it means that it consumes 1 A press if just doing a run of that star, and 0 additional A presses if doing a run of the full game (because it can leech of an earlier A press).
They call pannekoek autistic but you guys are the ones that can't understand something that's spelled out for you.
>>341668854
And in an any percent run he can beat the game with just one A press
>>341666478
There's no way that it could even be done non-TAS, it's pixel and frame precise. He definitely just wrote a script to generate the proper inputs for 13 hours, it isn't too uncommon for TASing.
>>341669012
FUCK OFF
AN A PRESS IS AN A PRESS
>>341668635
"Half an A press" isn't literal.
You have to press A once to do it in a single-star, isolated playthrough of the level, but can piggyback off a previous A press in a full run of the game, meaning it doesn't add any presses in that state. It's 1x A presses in one context and 0x A presses in another, so he calls it 0.5x A presses as a shorthand for that. It also happens to work because you're only using half of the two states of A pressing that are useful for Mario's actions (since releasing has no use), giving it a double meaning.
>>341668930
Yes, but it's not an "A press" which involves three actions. Activation, continuation, and release. As long as he continues pressing the button and not releasing it, he's still in the process of the A button. Theoretically, if he could beat the whole game without ever lifting his finger off of it, it would be a half A press run.
>>341669012
>you're autistic because you can't understand incorrect autistic logic
>>341668939
>Holding it or releasing it are both involved in the pressing action. It's a complete action.
Imagine a cardboard box. You put your palm on it and press down. Before you've released the pressure, the box has already crumbled underneath your palm. The pressing is completed before you release. You cannot undo this action before the event of releasing the pressure.
>>341669254
There's no half. He pressed the button in one action. Releasing the button has nothing to do with the action of pressing.
>>341669390
You idiot, that isn't applicable to a button on the control/keyboard.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKOYBm5e-so
HE KEEPS DOING IT
>>341669231
He argues that it's literal in the video.
>>341669254
If he can eliminate all the "press" A presses, only having half A presses left, the run would still take 1 full A press, because to enter the state of half an A press you need to press A.
>>341669438
They dont count the full press since he presses down A before entering the game, and never jumps
>>341669604
nope
>>341669609
>>341669438
>Releasing the button has nothing to do with the action of pressing.
Oh really? Then try jumping again while you still have your finger on the A button.
>>341669514
That doesn't change the fact that pressing a separate action from releasing.
it's funny how people get riled up over 12 hours of speed building
That's actually a MASSIVE improvement
he used to have to do it for 25 hours, but I don't recall the video. Same level, but outdated strat.
>>341669514
Imagine taking your finger, and pressing down a key so that "aaaaa" appears.
I only hit A once, yet 5 a's appeared because i held it down
>>341669514
The definition of the word "press" is applicable everywhere, fuck off.
Actions are actions, regardless of the autistic mental gymnastics you try to pull off.
>>341668754
Then why call the first action a press?
The fist action is called "pressed"
"Pressed" implies that it already occurred
It occurred on the button A
Therefore it is an "A press"
EVERYONE JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP
DOES HE "PRESS A"? I DONT CARE ABOUT HALF-PRESSES OR WHATEVER, DOES HE PHYSICALLY PRESS THE A BUTTON?
>>341669685
He goes on a lengthy argument and uses logic that doesn't apply in real life for the sake of his made up terminology when the claim that you can't half press a button is inherently ambiguous and shouldn't be explained as such.
>>341669892
The idea is to hold it down for the entire game.
>>341669672
>he presses down A
There you go. He pressed down A. End of story.
>>341669743
Doesn't change the fact that pressing and releasing are two different actions.
>>341669884
It's a misnomer.
>>341669892
He does not press the A button. This star does not requiring pressing it, or holding it. The star can be done without ever touching the A button.
>>341656860
>13 hours of scattlebug raising
>>341670052
But he pressed it down before starting the game
If he presses the A button at all throughout his life does that also ruin all chances of a 0 a press run
>>341669892
He presses A, albeit in a different occasion. When he did that, he held it down for several stars. Doing this lets you fall slower and do kicks from a standing position, as well as swim faster by kicking instead of that shitty grab Mario tries underwater
>>341670117
>can't combat logic
>only response is no
You must not lose arguments very often
>>341670186
He pressed A? Cool story bro. He pressed A.
>>341669849
Yes. It's all about time, you hold down in the brief moment it only means you get the one character.
To do, to have it happen, and to release are all equal and consider a big action that is separate but equal and considered to be three whole things that combine to become one big thing.Holy shit this is best metaphor for the trinity sans using the press shit because that's modalism.
>>341670117
let me explore my autism for fuck's sake

>>341670186
>If he presses the A button at all throughout his life does that also ruin all chances of a 0 a press run
Oh fuck I am laffin
>>341670250
So he pressed A then? We are in agreement.
>>341670250
>mission
>>341670186
If he presses it before starting the game it's still an a press. The game can't be completed in only half an a press, it's either one or zero.
>>341664420
Congratulations Scott Buchanan aka pannenkoek2012, a WinRAR is you.
>>341670336
>So he pressed A then?
Before the level. Ergo meaning that it carries over and he technically doesn't have to "press" the button.
all yall niggas dont seem to remember the concept of half a presses. yall are either saying it's an a press or it's not ... 0.5x a presses exist!!! sm.h
>People STILL think it's called a half A press because he's only using the hold function of a "complete" A press.
How has this meme persisted for so long. It's just straight up misinformation and anyone trying to argue it is dangerously retarded.
Regardless of which part of an A press's functionality you are using, or whether you start pressing it outside the level or whatever, it's still 1 press. The only thing the "half press" is meant to signify is that it counts as 1 press in some contexts and 0 in others, like this guy says: >>341669231
How the fuck people still get this confused when it is explained so thoroughly in the video just speaks to the alarmingly low IQs of the people on this board.
>>341670354
They should really just re-label it a "no jump run"
It sounds better that way too
>>341670225
No, he does not. If he held down the A button, the video would be labeled "half an A press". He does not touch A to get this star, there are no half a presses involved.
If you jump but never land, you don't call it a jump do you.
The land is part of the jump.
>Logical understanding of the word "press"
Pressing a button
>Autistic understanding of the word "press"

>>341670483
>He pressed a button
>Therefore he pressed a button
There's no half-presses here. Either he pressed it or he didn't. And we agree he did.
>>341670492
The problem lies with pannenkoek because he decided to answer the claim that you can't half press a button wrong.
>People still don't understand that he doesn't literally sit there doing the actions for 10+ hours straight
>People still are siding with Henry on A presses

>>341670683
Okay autismo, if you press the button before the level, before the level has been loading, does it count?
Also explain the trinity for me.
>>341670652
When I am at the height of the jump I don't cal lit "half a jump"
>>341670763
>People still are siding with Henry on A presses
You can't half press a button in SM64. The controller does not have the technology. That is fact.
>>341670839
Yeah, not a jump.
Just like it's not an A press
>>341670909
>If he presses a button, did he press a button?
Yes.
>>341669972
>Wing Mario over the rainbow only adds on an additional two A presses to the run, since the first A press just leeches of a previous A press. So to capture this phenomenon we call it 2.5 A presses. On a single star basis you'd round that up to three, but in a full game run you'd round it down to two. So in conclusion since that first A press counts in some contexts, but adds no additional A presses in other contexts we refer to it as a half A press.
What part of this logic is flawed?
>>341670839
It's still a jump in the momen you leave the ground. A jump describes the action of kicking off, not the landing. As long as you are in the air caused by your action, it's a jump. Imagine if you jump off the earth, then you'll never land, but it was still a jump, you jumped off the earth.
>>341670954
yes you can """""""""""""""""Henry"""""""""""""""""
>It's not a half press because he presses it BEFORE the level lol
the worst bait
>>341671012
Do you have down syndrome?
Why are you cutting out the details?
>>341670954
He's using one A press to complete two actions. Thus the one he gets "for free" from holding the previous A-press is referred to as a half A press. This is a sensible nomenclature based on needing to figure out where A-presses are allocated.
>>341660265
I wasn't the first, but I watched the entire thing.
Somehow listening to this guy explain this shit was really relaxing. I like how genuinely excited and interested he sounds, unlike most youtube personalities who cannot communicate without sarcasm or cynicism.
It was practically hypnotizing. Add to that the near-mystical nature of the crazy shit they are doing with this old ass game, and it makes for some quality viewing imo.
>>341656860
This guy could be an outstanding hacker or security researcher yet it appears he's completely devoted himself to Mario 64.
>>341671102
Because the details are autistic mis-understandings of basic logic.
He pressed a button. There's nothing half about it.
>>341671072
You flew off the earth
>>341670652
say you jump in the air and grab a tree branch. say you held on to the branch for eternity. you still jumped up to the branch, just because you didn't land doesn't mean it wasn't a jump. an a press is an a press, you can't say it's a half
>>341670652
Jumping involves your muscles generating the energy required to go against the gravity.
Dictionary definition
>To propel oneself upward or over a distance in single quick motion or series of such motions.
Landing is a separate occurrence from jumping

epic memery.
>>341670909
I think the whole problem arises from the terminology he used.
What he did was half a (press-release) routine
He can't half-press because "pressing" is a logical state (either pressed or not pressed) and it is non-sensical to have hal-true/false
So in the end, he pressed the button 1 time (before starting the stage)
and cleared the stage with 1 A-release
And finally, he cleared the stage with half a (press-release) routine
>>341671253
And how did you get to that point? Did you fly from the ground or did you jump?
>>341671140
Someone in a previous thread said he was a teacher or something? Wonder what he teaches.
>Hold A button when I start the game
>Collect all 120 stars and beat the game without ever letting go of the A button
>Retards in /v/ think I pressed the A button at least 120 times.
>>341671254
That's just landing with your hands
>>341671116
That is what made up terminology encompasses as opposed to the actual, literal meaning of "press".
It's called half an A press because the press doesn't occur in the level, but it's effect is still needed.
he PRESSES A before the level.
He then carries the pressed state into the level.
it's semantic stuff but it's basically saying "the button was pressed but the press itself isn't used in the level"
He could just as easily say "there was no A button pressed in the level" since that is true, but it wouldn't be capturing the actual phenomena of what's happening.
TL:DR: there is an A button pressed, but it's not in the level. The level needs it to be pressed before entering, so it's "half a press" colloquially
It's JUST A NAME for a carry-over effect.
>>341671339
>hal-true/false
half*
>>341671329
Before the jump occurred. We know this because he jumped. And that happens when you press the A button.
What happen when pannenkeok completes mario64 with zero A presses total?
>>341671253
No, you got the force from using your leg muscles to lose contact with the ground, which is the definition of a jump. You could leave the earth by flying instead, but this is not what we are talking about.
>>341671237
The computer receives 2 inputs.
1 for press. 1 for release.
1/2 = half

>>341671563
Mario Sunshine
>>341671339

Pannenkoek had some other popular sm64 vidoes before that one, the half A press one just took off I guess since it was voice commentated and went over so many strange interactions.

>>341667459
But he's right, its possible to do half an A press.
>>341671701

>>341667459
t. J "Henry" Yoshi
Why don't you fucking fags ask pannekoek to come here so you can finally have your answer abou the half an A press?
>>341671571
Everything. The press is an action. The release is a secondary action.
The press happened, there's nothing half about it.
>>341671631
Doesn't matter. He pressed it, and that's a single action. He didn't half-way press it.
>>341671571
because releasing is separate from pressing the binary translation for whether a press occurred is always 1 or 0
>>341671618
he'll probably release it later down the road, thats how these things always go
>>341671378
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it is maths related.
>>341671847
>Doesn't matter

I think people might understand what he's trying to say but disagree with the naming of the trick.
>>341671140
I was thinking the exact same thing.
>>341671618
He doesn't do commentary on his second channel, as it takes up a lot of time or something. He likes to quickly put together videos for his second channel, and have voiceovers on his main channel. Rest assured, these a press saves will probably have commentary later.
>>341671949
Prove that he didn't press the button
>wow he wastes his time fucking autist
these are like dumbfucking youtube comments crying about "hungry kids in africa" or "muh tax money wasted".
>>341671986
They clearly don't, since they still seem to think he's literally trying to press it half-way down or some shit.
Remember, half a is just it's name when done in a void.
If doing a full run, he'd just piggyback this level off a level that does require an A press.
>>341668140
>his made up terminology
You do realize he's not the only one who does this, right?
>you cannot half press a button on an N64 controller. A fact that he should have acknowledged
he did
99% sure you're either blind, deaf, or dumb
>>341672047
In the level?
Easy, he releases the button and he uses the momentum to reach the platform.
HALF A PRESS IS JUST A TERMINOLGY USED TO DISTINGUISH STARS THAT TAKE 1 A PRESS ON THEIR OWN AND 0 DURING A 120 STAR RUN
HOW FUCKING HARD IS THAT TO UNDERSTAND
>>341672146
How did he get to the point of being able to release the button? Did he press it or not?
>>341671949
It doesn't matter because it does not pertain to the actual event of the button being pressed which does indeed occur.
>>341671382
You pressed it once
>retards on /v/ think you got each star with 1/120 A-presses
Do people actually think that pressing the button isn't a separate action from releasing your finger from the bottom?
I'm honestly speechless. You press a button, then release your hand or finger on the button.
How is this difficult to understand?
>>341672146
No. He did not press the A button at all, not before entering the level and not after. He used 0 A presses in this level.
And releasing the button does nothing.
FUCK HALF PRESS OR NOT HALF PRESS
POST SCUTTLEBUGS
>>341672218
>How did he get to the point of being able to release the button?
It happened before the level. see >>341672118
>>341672358
Actually, it does end the holding of the button, I suppose that could be used for something.
>>341672357
Either /v/ is retarded, or fans of the guy are trying to defend the runner.
I'm going with both.
Meme's aside I would actually like to see this guy get every star in 0 a presses. Don't think its honestly possible considering levels like Wing Mario over the Rainbow.
>>341672140
>You do realize he's not the only one who does this, right?
Not relevant to the argument.
>he did
He attempted to introduce fallacious logic based on made up terminology to refute a fact that you cannot half press a button. He argued against a simple fact.
>>341672218
In the recorded footage, he does not press the button. He enters with it being held.
In context of the level, he presses the button 0 times.
In the context of the run, he presses the button 1 time.
He calls it "0.5x A presses" not because he "doesn't press A", but to show that he was holding the button before he started. This way, he can bum off of a previous A press.
>>341672440
I wanna fuck those scuttlebugs
>>341672483
So he pressed the A button? Looks like we agree. There was no half press, there was a press.
>>341672175
Yes, however the root of the problem is the approach he took when refuting a claim that a button can't be half pressed which is a an irrefutable fact. He was in the wrong to do that.
>>341672618
but it's a .5 press because it didn't happen in the level
>>341672218
I'm just going to hijack this argument and ask you to look at these posts:
>>341672175
>>341672118
The reason it's called half a press is because, when done on it's own, A is pressed specifically to have an effect in the level.
In a full run, the A press would be one taking place in another level done before this level, thus not actually adding any more presses to the full run.
In short: AN A PRESS IS NEEDED, BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE DONE IN THE STAGE.
>>341672440
Those aren't scuttlebugs, those are shitty monstergirls.
>>341672618
You got down syndrome or some shit senpai.
Go see >>341672568
>>341672568
So then he pressed the button. He didn't halfway press it, he fully pressed it. Pressing and releasing are two different actions.
>>341672525
He explained, very clearly, that "half press" is just a convenient term to show that, yes, he pressed the button, but in a previous stage, and he held it during this one.
Half press is a metaphor, an analogy, which he fully explained. Yet you somehow, continuously, fail to understand.
>>341671852
This.
He cleared the stage with 0 presses but with 1 release.
This is just so simple. There's 0 A presses in the stage

>>341672710
>>341672714

holy shit you really are retarded
>>341671701
Pannen is communicating directly with the lords of the universe, through the only medium with which an unascended species can manipulate.
Math.
Part of the bargain is that Pannen must inform the other unascended sentients in his locality of what he is doing. Normally, in a more advanced and balanced society, other sentients would be able to understand what he was doing and potentially stop it. That is part of the 'game'.
In this case, Pannen is on such a different level than most other humans, and because he has chosen an old and seemingly harmless video game as his ritual space, he will 'fly under the radar'. This way, he stands a very high chance of being able to complete The Great Work. He's a clever guy.
>>341656860
>13 hours of scuttlebug raising later

>>341672864
Sure """""""""""""""""""Henry"""""""""""""""""""
>>341672740
>>341672864
"Half press" is an analogy to show that, in the context of a single stage, he only held the button.
Do you not understand metaphors? Is that part of your brain broken?
>>341672892
No, I'm pointing out it's a retarded term that doesn't apply logically. You thought I thought he was actually claiming to press it halfway? Holy shit you really are retarded.
>>341660506
Underrated post.
>>341672568
He does not enter the level with the A button held. He does not touch it at any point. Watch the video where he explains half an A press. He says that the star takes 3 A presses in isolation. Meaning, if he held the button in this stage, he would have counted it as 1 A press, assuming counted in isolation. This is how the terminology works. Held A buttons, when looked at in isolation, is considered a full A press. They are only not full when counted in the context of the game.
HE DOES NOT HOLD THE A BUTTON IN THE VIDEO, AT ALL.
>>341673004
Perhaps if there was a location where he explains things--perhaps a description of some kind, appended to the video, that "henry" could have read.
>>341669892
No he didn't.
He presses the A button when selecting a mission for a map and holds it down for the entire level. so he never pressed the A button to use it for a jump.
>>341673004
the cat's not dead unless you open the box, pal
>>341673027
Analogies and metaphors are two different things you literal retard.
>>341672864
Again, you got down syndrome. In the context of a situation, being that of a level, he is holding down the button.
If I pressed a button before I walked into a room, and entered the room holding it, in the context of the new room that I just entered I would be holding it to the perspective of the person/object/"ghost"/whateverthefuck is inside said room.
>>341673157
No. He uses start to select mission, and A was never pressed at all.
>>341673027
Do you not understand metaphors because this, in no way, fits the definition of a metaphor? Autismo Machismo jumped through a bunch of logical hoops to say he beat a level without pressing A. That's literally what his entire channel is.
>>341672864
Anon, it's just the name of a trick.
You are right, he doesn't push the button half a time. he pushes it once, but outside of the level.
The A press could be done in a level that needs it and the effect carried over. that's why it's just called "half an a press"
Think of it like this:
You want to show off a trick in world 2.
In world 1, you press A.
You don't need to press A in world 2, you can just hold A from a time you pressed it in world 1.
The fucking mental gymnastics people are going through to try and claim that him pressing the button wasn't actually him pressing the button.
Best thread on /v/, bar none.
>>341673284
Cool story. Doesn't change the fact that he pressed down the button.
>>341672357
>You press a button, then release your hand or finger on the button.
And that set of actions is collectively called a press. When you only use half of that, it's called a ____ _____.
>>341668463
That is true, and in the absence of a previous A press (e.g. IL basis, first a press of run or after blue number* in route) we round 0.5 up to 1, because in those circumstances holding A at the beginning adds an A press. But when A is still held from a previous star and there are no blue numbers* in between, the 0.5 A press star adds no additional A presses to the run.
*On pannenkoek2012's Google spreadsheet he colors the number of A presses in blue if the level cannot be completed with A held from the start.
>>341673405
When did he press the button?
>>341673152
It's still his fault that he chose not to underline it well enough that the things he's referring are not to be taken literally. When creating a video for hundreds of thousand of people to watch. Henry was still in the right if we were to separate terminology from literal meaning.
>>341665651

wew lad
>>341673659
That's not an answer.
When did he press it, before or doing the level?
>>341673659
he never pressed it in the level
>>341668739
It's the other way around: on an individual level basis, it counts, but in a full game run, it doesn't (since you're holding an A press from a previous star that required one).
>>341671847
You can't press with out eventually releasing.
They are one.
At this point I'm sure the "henries" are just shitposting to get a rise out of people
No one can be this willfully ignorant right?
>>341673510
Dives are B.
A press is a separate state then a release
A press and a release are either true or false
You can't have half-true / half-false and they are separate states
There's no half a-press and I'm starting to believe people defending his faulty terminology are either memesters or can't grasp simple logic (half true)
>>341673152
I'm gonna make a video about how I walk without moving my left foot off the ground. See what I'll do is I will define an arbitrary amount of time, film myself moving my right foot and stepping down but keeping my left foot stationary. Even though as soon as the camera stops everyone knows I move my left foot, if I don't show it during that time then it didn't happen.
>>341673754
He did press it.
Before the level. He never pressed it inside the level.
>>341673659
He didn't press the button. He rounds half A presses up in isolated contexts, meaning all the anti-henryfags in this thread are just as wrong as the henryfags. A half A press is never counted as 0 A presses when a stage is looked at in isolation.
>>341659854
I remember fondly the first time I watched this video, it was like meeting a bouddah
>>341670236
wrong
>>341673762
>>341673770
Doesn't change the fact that he pressed the button.
>>341673832
It's an analogy, he explains it in the video
>>341673662
Doesn't matter. He assumed there was no chance of somebody taking his made up terminology literally in a public youtube video. He can't expect people to pay full attention detail in random youtube videos about random video game shit nobody cares about. If somebody sees something clearly fallacious to the literal meaning you shouldn't make fun of such a person and instead make it a point that what you're referring to isn't meant to be taken literally. Thus he was 100% in the wrong.
>>341673995
Outside the context of the level.
So if he pressed A once and carried it over 5 different stages, he would have cleared each stage with 1/5 A-pressses?
See how dumb this terminology sounds?
He never actually pressed A in this level
check the title
it says 0x
if he pressed it before the level and held it would have been 0.5x
>>341673517
The dude quite literally says he rounds down A presses in one the first videos that was unleashed on this board. He, himself, is claiming he doesn't press the button.
>>341663925

outside the level dumbass
>>341674062
>he couldn't expect people to pay attention
is this really the point society has reached
>>341673915
He did not press it before entering the level. Everything he does can be done without holding the A button. There are literally 0 A presses, no matter how you choose to look at it. This star does not require the A button to be touched in any way. If it did, he'd write 1/2 A press, or if he was talking about speedrunning the stage, he would write 1 A press. He writes 0, because the A button is never touched. He could still finish the stage even if he removed the A button from his controller.
>>341674026
And he's incorrect. Pressing a button is not the same as holding a button, nor is it the same as releasing. 3 seperate actions.
>>341674085
Doesn't matter.
>>341673783
They aren't. What you're implying is that force during pressing isn't applied until you release, which is blatantly untrue.
>>341674209
But it does you chucklefuck.
>>341674209
>Doesn't matter.
Oh cool, finally a definitive authority to tell everyone it doesn't matter
Who the fuck are you again?
>>341674209
holy shit you fucking retard, then what would call holding the A button BEFORE entering the level but not actually pressing A again IN the level
>so man, how many times did you push A when doing that star
>none really, but i had started the star already holding A
>shiiit what do we call that
It's painfully obvious why the term half press is used, how are you guys managing to be more autistic than him?
>>341674182
>>341674320
>>341674346
Doesn't matter. He pressed the button, therefore it's 1 button press.
>>341674182
Such wonderful bait.
>>341674087
0.5 A press is only counted depending on the context
if it's based on a single level then it's .5 A press
if it's based on the whole 120 or 70 stars run then it doesn't matter how many levels he held it because it's still 1 A press
I haven't seen a diary this divided since skub
>tfw you will never be able to enjoy a single video game as much as this guy probably does
>>341671385

>>341674410
He pressed the button before. Not during. Not after, but before.
Do you have down syndrome?
>>341674410
What?
Presses outside the stage count as presses in the sage?
What backwards logic is this?
>>341674424
you never watched the video, baby?
>>341674410
he didn't, prove him wrong
>>341673448
Before entering the stage
He cleared the stage with 0 A presses.
Just stop, the guy with le metaphor backpeddaling at least did a better job
>>341674397
Holding. Which is different from pressing and releasing. But he got to that point by pressing the button once. Therefore it's one button press.
>>341657315
>people
It's all one guy.
>>341674410
He did not press the button. You are all wrong. Look at the video title. He says "0 A presses".
>>341674123
>Being famous for holding down A for 13 hours.
The internet glamorizes a lot of useless shit. This mongoloid is proof perfecr of that.
>>341674553
>Before entering the stage
Then we're done here. Wrap it up and we can stop.
>>341674561
so you agree that its holding before entering the level ergo 0.5 A press

>>341674705
He pressed the button? Then we agree. Pressing the button once = one button press. Doesn't matter where or when. The action of pressing a button is the action of pressing a button. Which is a separate action from holding, and releasing.
>>341674729
>wasted tax money
The guy is a professor.
>>341674535
Because the game registers 2 states of button pressing and a button release.
1 - the initial press, the game has to first register the button not being pressed for this to apply
2 - the button being held down
3 - the button going from held down to being released
>>341659854
I've never seen such congealed autism
>>341674841
No. He did not press the button. He used no techiniques that require holding the button. The button was never pressed.
>>341674898
0- no A presses
1- pressed A
0.5- held A button between levels
shut the fuck up
>>341674898
I know you think you're real slick with your logic, but you're literally breaking down to the point of not making any goddamned sense
>>341674729
most of the time americans are the one crying about it and I'm not american so I don't give a shit. Hell most of the time the tax aren't actually wasted and they just want something to complain about.

>antiskub fag

>>341674898
>He did not press the button before.
Before yes, during no.
>>341674968
So how is he holding the button during the level?
>>341674203
This is a lie. If the A button were removed from this controller and he couldn't use it he couldn't do half of what he does. Again he is pressing the button and redefining what press means so he can disingenuously round down. He can't beat the game without an action triggered by an A input, no matter how the retard wants to define a press.
>>341674705
This is some future generations discover and try to decipher the meaning of tier shit.
>>341674841
>>341674968
I think the problem is that half of the people in this thread are talking about the 0x A press video in the OP and half of the people are talking about his watch for rolling rocks 0.5x A press video.
>>341675036
>>341675032
If the definition of "press" doesn't make sense to you, I worry about your mental health.
Remember those stages he cleared with 10 A-presses? 4 A-presses? 2 A-presses?
Why didn't he press the first A before entering the stage to reduce them to 9.5 A-presses, 3.5 A-presses and 1.5 A-presses, respectively?

>>341674968
>>341674841
You guys are arguing about something that isn't even the case. He didn't touch the A button, how you define half button presses are irrelevant for this level. Because no one sane would claim that the A button was ever pressed.
>>341675067
He is not holding the A button.
>>341675073
He rounds up, not down. This terminology is not to cheat the A button press count, it's for its own usefulness' sake. If he only used "1/2 A presses", if he were rounding it, he'd say he used 1. That's how the system works.
>>341675364
speak for yourself
he explained it perfectly
I'm going to shoot a damn load after this thread
>>341674770
That suddenly makes it less of an sperg session? His point is the game can be beaten this way like this is something in any semblance of fun. Stop defending this retard.
>>341675270
Because he obviously needed a fresh a press in those levels and not simply hold it down. They provide different functions.
>>341670236
>He pressed A? Cool story bro. He pressed A.
During a previous star that required it.
>>341675468
He explained his incorrect, autistic logic perfectly. But that doesn't make it true or based in reality.
OKAY ALL HENRY'S IN THIS THREAD, I'LL MAKE THIS AS SIMPLE FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND RIGHT NOW THAT A HALF A PRESS IS POSSIBLE!
>Press down on your mouse 1 button on a link to another webpage and hold it down on the link to another webpage
>Do you travel to that webpage when you click down or when you release the Mouse 1 button over the link?
Checkmate Henry.
Half an A press demonstrated by your own mouse.
There is such a thing as a half A press.
>>341675270
there's no reason to go into a level holding an a press when you're going to release it anyway at the very start because you need the press part and not the hold part
>>341675475
Are you implying beaking the game and pushing it to its limits to beat it in a way the developers never intended isn't fun? It clearly must be for him and it's entertaining to watch. What's the problem here?

>>341675270
It's not literally half a press.
It's named this for the effect on the overall run. Doing this trick doesn't add a press to the overall run (you'd just use a press from a previous level), but does if you see the level individually as a run (aka when there is no previous level).
The average of 1 and 0 is 0.5. It's called half an A press because of this.
>>341675756
I think I'm a little behind then. When was this update?
>>341675602
im on mobile sperg. an a press is an a press end of discussion. #TeamHenry
>>341675169
That may be the case. I am talking about the video in the OP, in which he used 0 A presses.
This argument would make more sense if other people were talking about his Rolling Rocks video.
In that video, he does use the A button, but only holds it.
In the context of playing the level by itself: 1 A press
In the context of planning A presses, statistics and such: 1/2 A press
In the context of doing the level in a full game run: 0 A presses
>>341675970

>>341675602
No, because mathematically, programatically (each mouse state is a boolean) and literally everything else represents a mouse press, a mouse release, two different states.

That isn't a state, (maybe a derived state, but not a logical one)
Let's change from mouse to keyboard key
Open a game and hold the forward key (to move your character forward)
Now alt-tab (don't release the key)
Now that you're out of the game release the key
Alt-tab back into the game, your character most likely will be still moving forward even thought your hands are off the keyboard
That happens because the "press" state was entered but the "release" state was never entered in the game, so the character keeps moving forward
Some games do workarounds for this but this simple experiment proves that you are misguided
>>341676029
cont.
what you might change in your post to make it more accurate is say that there was half a mouse click (considering a "click" is the completion of both a "press" and a "release")
>>341676256
same. At first I fell in love with TGT ironically, but then when shit started getting really real, I can't help but like it unironically. There's no way he isn't doing this unintentionally.
So assuming that this TAS is ever perfected and contains zero A presses the entire run will be at least a couple months in length right?

Lazorbot constantly toes the line between being self-aware as fuck and being actually autistic. He creates sincerely fantastic writing sometimes and has proven to have actual art skills, but then you have shit like his autistic breakdown when someone hacked his account.
Overall I'd say it's a perfect storm that can't be recreated by anyone else, he's a self-aware autist who still sometimes gives into his autism. That's the reason a lot of people can't tell whether it's satire or not; it is in a way but isn't in other ways.

Anon it's an entire chapter/arc where shit hits the fan harder that it did in the porkening. Don't wanna spoil you. Just read it.
>>341677730
The fun part is pushing the game to a point where it ceases to be a game?
>>341678029
So it's after the porkening? Okay.
>>341677615
It happens in either 18 or 19, I can't remember, it's during the weed party. So much fucking shit happens during the weed party, I was getting bored of it almost when it was going on but after it ended it became one of my favorite arcs.
>>341678140
Isn't that what MMOs and MOBAs are?
>>341678205
I'll just say one thing:Weed party
Not a single one of you who used the word "autism" or the pop-culture misnomer "autist" have correctly identified the creator of these videos, pannenkoek as having the disorder.
Quite the opposite. He understands not just his own concepts, but can actively imagine himself in his viewer's place as to WHY they can't seem to understand his terms. And he doesn't just eloquently articulate his ideas in a professional and erudite manner, oh no; he thoroughly explains the concepts through visual media as well. Be it charts, graphs, replays, multiple camera angles, slideshows, action, gameplay and even uses mathematical facts, algorithms and theory to try to explain what he does.
And he does it all VERY, VERY well. He isn't autistic. Quite the opposite, he's charismatic on communication skills alone. He just also happens to be dedicated.
>>341678329
So is weed party the better version of the Porkening?
I always end up leaving after the porkening because it gets too late and I wanna sleep.
>>341678563
>better version
It just trascend the porkening. I don't wanna hype you lest you get disappointed, but the porkening was a series of misfortunes hitting a character until he cracked. The stuff that happens at the weed part hits mire on the human side. Like seriously, I would not be surprised if laser bot has not had a first hand experience of someone who went through the shit you see at the weed party.
>>341678563
>So is weed party the better version of the Porkening?
Not at all, they're way different. The Porkening is a nonstop climb of insanity, the weed party is a series of awkward hostility and revelations that change your entire perception of the series prior to this point. It does have a pretty shocking climax but the best parts are just the slow realizations both the reader and the characters come to over the course of the arc.
