Me when someone makes a four hour video about Mario 64 invisible walls

Super Mario 64 you say? May I introduce you to our lord and savior summoning salt?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I watch like 80% of that video when it showed up on my feed the other day before I realized I never even played SM64 (I had a SNES and then Playstation, never N64), and I really don't care about it that much. It was interesting enough to keep me that long though, so it's a good video.

Pannenkoek is a god when it comes to SM64 and its quirks. He teamed up with a streamer to make SM64 crash due to a float to signed integer conversion. They theorized the idea and used a real console on normal speed and timed it, so the crash would happen precisely at New Year's 2023. Performing this particular crash takes 39 days, 14 hours and about 52 minutes.

He explained everything in this vid:

Yeah, that's the exact video that made me post the meme

How else am I going to find out about TempleOS and poisoned Austrian wine?

* The above videos are by Fredrik Knudsen

I'd like to watch that TempleOS one but they want me to log in for the age verification. I cannot get piped to bypass that.

You can use an Individious instance. It's an open source front end. Here is a link to one with the TempleOS video

No worries. There are a lot of instances out there if you have any playback issues, want to search for an instance from within a certain country, or want to create an account. You can export your subscriptions and use it on mobile apps like NewPipe.

I got like 3 hours into a 50 hour Chris Chan documentary before I realized I had no idea who this autistic kid was and I wasn't even invested in if he ever found a "boyfriend-free girl".

I just watched 3 hours of sewing machine comparisons. I don't sew or have any plans to.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I think you might be like me and be an unmedicated ADHD person.

I had a 3 day period where I watched DIY men's fashion videos. I have never sewed, have barely any interest but I have theoretical knowledge on how to make a pair of knickerbockers.

How DARE you sir? I mean, you are probably right.

The point at which you realize marijuana has affected your judgment.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago

Hey man, just because someone smokes weed and enjoys learning about the connected universe of a tv show they've never watched or a 4 and a half hour in-depth history of a character from an obscure fps franchise that leads you down a rabbit hole of even more weird and obscure videos untill you're sitting there at 3am watching the rise and fall or a 500bc civilisation getting furious at a king that's been dead for so long they've turned into coal like he's personally slighted your family, now you're sitting here trying to find more information so you can finish what your ancestors started so your family curse can end and your grandfather can finally rest....

Never smoked a day in my life but I'd drop plans for a new summoning salt

Escapism: "I put the fires out!"
Nobody: "You made them WORSE."
Escapism: "Wooorse? Or better?"

I watched the entire video in question totally sober

[–] Ballistic_86 9 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Quinton Reviews is the Darksouls boss of long commentary videos. His latest (that was taken down) was actually 38 hrs of his dad talking about Beverly Hillbillies and Petticoat Junction.

[–] BowtiesAreCool 3 points 7 months ago

I only got to hour 30 when it was taken down, so I had to download the 23gb video from archive

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

"Essay" makes it sound like someone rambling about drama in the High Pressure Sodium Lamps community had that shit scripted.

[–] Entropywins 6 points 7 months ago

Summoning salt...I don't play much games and sure as shit don't speed run but for some reason I CANNOT STOP!!!

I really hate these really long videos. They don't have to be all sub-10 minutes for me, but lately I have seen some previously pretty solid Youtubers post 1.5 hour long videos, consisting for at least one third of rehashed older videos. The rest isn't all that much content either, and could be half shorter with some good editing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

I love the long videos if they have the content to support it. But I have definitely bounced from some that are very clearly just trying to pad the length for more ad revenue. The people I tend to watch seem pretty well paced in every video, no complaints about them. I hope the solid YouTubers you like are just having a down month or something.
