Some speed runner differentiates between a full button press (press and release) and a half press (just the release portion). Some other nerd gets really upset and calls it the same as a regular button press, so original nerd makes a 25 minute video explaining what it is (actually not a bad video, very interesting breaking downs on how to do some glitches in Mario 64)

This is important for people who do "speed" runs where the goal is to press the jump button as little as possible (in the example he uses the actual playtime is something like 12 hours so not exactly fast). This is what I've seen though, I don't know the whole backstory tbh.

THANK YOU! That's been bugging me for days. Also, holy poo poo that video is Maximum OverAutism.vid. And TJ "Henry" Yoshi is right- those are loving A presses. Dude's just splitting hairs to try to appease some kind of bizarre speedrunning ur-deity.

Also, here's a spicy sample of maymay to make up for this A press talk.

It's a "No-jump" solution to a level that unfortunately still requires him to press the A button in order to abuse glitches that require the A button held down. So it's a half-press not because he needed to jump at some point, but just because he needs the A button down to exploit a kick glitch that makes an otherwise impossible elevator ride possible. That's a pretty decent hair to split IMO.

It's an A press in a single segment run, but not an a-press in a full run. Average them out, that's half a press.

:agreed: I haven't felt like this since I first got into memeing back in '02 (though that's not what we called it back then). People talk about 'chasing the dragon' and never catching it, but goddamn if this isn't the dankest, freshest, hottest poo poo I've seen since then.

How do they figure this poo poo out? Did they decompile the game? How would they know the game checks at four points? How do they know the rate of "building speed", such that they can say that 11.97h is exactly right to hit that triangle one qpu over? How do they get the angle right? gently caress, someone should round these people up and have them land the next mars probe?

e: it's a technique called "chucklefuck herding".

They'd land the probe on the Mars 4 universes over and that Earth would think it was aliens and blow up the universe. Good one, idiot, you've killed Us4 All

Seriously, I challenge anyone to make it more than a couple minutes into this.

I got 6:50 in and I could not for the life of me understand what the intended outcome, purpose or value of any of what he was saying saying, although his depth knowledge of the mechanics of Mario 64 is pretty astounding.

The real insidious aspect of autism is that people like this latch on to video games instead of taking a healthy interest in, say, medicine.

The difference is that there's absolutely no danger to them if they fail, in face there's no actual "failure state" of button-press Mario arguments. I mean, there are losers, certainly. Deciding to spend your laser-focus abilities on studying medicine comes with "no actually you need to get up at a regular time and go places and interact with actual human persons", all of which are deal breakers.

Um, I mean, thank u mr. scuttltal.
