One drawback to the Honeyback cheat - it makes the snowball transformation in Hailfire a real nuisance. You need to burn yourself on the fire outside Humba to get small enough to enter her tent. With honeyback, it can be a real nuisance trying to lose health quickly enough to get inside to change back.

Of all of the wild things Silver has said during this LP, not knowing about Hot Coffee is up there. That one feels firmly in the gaming canon if you were born in, like, a year starting with the number "1". Apologies if you're a young'in!

But I was also firmly in the Nintendo camp in my youth, and have never been terribly interested in the GTA games! They're just not my thing.

I suppose it also depends on how online you were around the time. It was big news because of favourite gamer punching bag Jack Thompson's interest in it, iirc.

Oh right yeah, since this came up in the video, this is the review board I mentioned that does the deep dive into industrial accidents . I feel like they'd have a field day with Grunty Industries.

I feel like they'd have a field day with Grunty Industries. My first day at a particle accelerator my team had an after-incident debfiefing where they'd been working with a massive power supply, some capacitor that was supposed to discharge safely when the thing was turned off didn't, and it discharged when they were handling the cables. Nobody injured (long-term, apparently the sight and sound was pretty impressive), they'd done all the safety stuff in the correct order so it discharged to the ground line, but a takeaway of "if we hadn't done things by the book somebody would probably be dead now". Made an impact, I wonder if someone said "the interns are starting soon, let's hold off two days on this meeting." Bruceski fucked around with this message at 16:33 on Aug 12, 2023 |

It took me an embarrassingly long amount of time as a kid to understand the panels with the four screws because, as shown in the video, I was just slightly off when I tried drilling the first time and why would I try again?! It didn't work the first time??! Also the jiggy across the poison pool mystified me for the longest time, because a) you can walk underwater and it looks like it should be the solution but it's not and b) the actual solution makes no sense, why would it work like that, argh (I know we haven't been shown it yet I'm still mad at it tho)

But also at the same time: it was incredibly frustrating watching him see a banjo only switch and then spent more time faffing about with Kazooie solo trying to figure it out instead of just trying things with solo banjo until he found the incredibly weird solution. (That if I recall is the only place in the game you have to use that particular technique?)

You can really see the multi-step design ethos of Tooie here in particular. Like, to get to the Waste Disposal Plant to get that Jiggy, you need to: Blow open the door so Mumbo can get to the 2nd Floor Mumbo Pad. Get Mumbo to EMP the 2nd Floor Electromagnet. Get back to Mumbo's, warp to Wumba's, transform, get the washing machine to the Electromagnet Room, stand on the switch. Transform back, go to the basement, fight Weldar Then you can finally go through the door in the big fan room. I think that's about as intricate as it gets, but that's pretty intricate.

If you don't cheat, Weldar is probably the hardest not final boss in the game, furthering the idea that this should just have been the final level

Wait a minute. Roll back the tape. Yes! Right there at 25:21! I know that expression. There's only one other person in all the isle of hags known to give a good, "wahey!" Boggey has been working for the man this whole time.

If you had a third hand, would you use it to finally, properly grip the N64 controller?

I don't know how Smash controls on the N64, but the AKI wrestling games (WCW/nWo Revenge, WWF No Mercy and others using that engine) do in fact use the d-pad for movement, the buttons for various wrestleman things, and the stick for taunting and activating your special (and Z for switching your wrestler to AI control if you want to do that for some reason, which I assume was down there so you wouldn't switch by accident), so yes, technically you need all three prongs and I'm contradicting what I said earlier. Of course, you never actually need to move the stick with any kind of precision in these games, so you can easily hit it with your thumb without changing your grip. Now, activating the debug mode in Shadows of the Empire, that genuinely appears to require three or four hands or possibly some sort of Force ability, but it's very much an exception.

DMorbid posted:I don't know how Smash controls on the N64 Essentially the same as newer games: Control stick moves, A is for basic attacks, B is for specials, C-buttons are shortcuts for smashes, R shields, Z grabs, and the D-pad taunts. L presumably also shields, but uh why are you able to reach L?

Slight corrections, the C-buttons are your jump buttons, Z is shield, R is Grab and L is your singular taunt. D-pad does nothing in regular gameplay, but can be used to navigate the menus.
