[@2WaterGuns]

The "I LOVE YOU" text is similar to text in Majora's Mask where the last page of the crash debugger says "All pages are displayed. Thank you! You are great debugger. [sic]". I always assumed this was a message aimed at testers during development, thanking them for scrolling through all the pages when a crash happened - maybe because they were taking down the data as notes? Or on a videotape?

[@TheGameCreator13]

Maybe "I LOVE YOU" and "You are great debugger" are there as a confirmation that the debugger is printing out ALL of the code instead of stopping mid-way like it might've when they were developing said debugger

I can't believe that a random badger had his story developed throughout the spam of 24 years, I mean that's more than most videogame characters

[@crithon]

I don't know, Mike Haggar is a hot blooded mayor who was a former pro wrestler. A simple story for over 32 years can be more effect than just tackling on new junk to lose what makes love a character.

'Mischief Makers' is such an underrated and good game imho.
As a kid I was too stupid to play through it, but many years later I finished it after I totally forgot about this game. Today it's one of my favourite N64 games tbh.

[@MarbleThumbs]

@@kingcollie I don't think that has anything to do with the N64 itself though, the PS1 version of the game feels just as eerily empty.
Probably more to do with developers trying to juggle resources and ultimately failing to create a believable world, a feeling that would be exacerbated in pre-release demos.

[@bluegum6438]

@@MarbleThumbs Silent Hill works really well because it leveraged the limitations to create spookiness. The fog, the indistinct and jerky enemies, the low resolution and the desolation are all generally present in early 3D games, there's a little bit of Silent Hill in all of them.

Spent hundreds/thousands of hours playing N64 4 way on a 80" TV with friends and family that had to be hit on the side periodically in order for the video signal to work in the 90s. Mario Kart (all time favorite version), GoldenEye, and wrestling games like WCWvsNWO to name a few are still fun to play all these years later.

[@lakerslodom7]

An 80" tv? In the late 90s? It would have weighed 400 lbs or cost $40,000

[@AlGoYoSu]

@Berzerk Bankie it was at my grandparents house. It was one of those old style 500lb+ sets where it had it's own TV stand built in. Thinking about it, the actual screen area is probably slightly smaller than 80", but it was still huge none the less. They even had this giant satellite dish that had to be several feet across. Nothing like those dinky ones you see on roofs.

[@thesexybatman263]

A semi-related fact: During a playtrough of Body Harvest, Vinesauce streamer Joel ended unintentionally gaslighting the lost media comunity, sending them on a years long search for an "Evil Farming Game" that never existed. Justin Whang has several more detailed videos explaining the whole ordeal.

Y’know I’m sorta liking the additional satire of recent dykg vids as well as the facts. Gives it a new spin on their established programming

[@anthony92399]

Here's the thing most people don't think about; yes, the PS1 sold like wildfire, but how many games are truly remembered and talked about regularly still to this day? Yes, there are a few titles that were hits and spawned franchises that still exist like Crash, Spyro, and Tomb Raider, but the N64 had so many more unbelievably great games. Plus with native 4 player support multiplayer games just tore the scene up better for N64 like with Goldeneye and Super Smash Bros.

[@scottcolpitts8521]

I feel the same. I only had a ps1 for one reason and one reason only. Grand Turismo.

Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo Tooie, Donkey Kong 64, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Paper Mario reminds me of Super Smash Bros Ultimate characters like Banjo & Kazooie, Bowser, Diddy Kong, Donkey Kong, Ganondorf, King K. Rool, Link, Luigi, Mario, Peach, Sheik, Yoshi, Young Link and Zelda.

[@Optidorf]

Sure, the N64 underperformed hugely compared to the Playstation, but sales are not the only measurement for the success of a console. The N64 was in fact quite innovative with its controller, expansian pack and rumble pack. The same applies to the Dreamcast. It's a financial bomb but no-one will deny that the Dreamcast is far more innovative than the PS2.

[@philliptinner6576]

I love the fun you guys obviously had with this script! Whether or not it's a response to the views drop DYKG experienced a little while back, I'm really enjoying the jokes and seeing more of Dazz's humorous side.

5:46 I just discovered that Rockstar, like EA has a habit of buying up third party developers but unlike EA, they don't merge them and kill off and/or mutilate long-running beloved franchises (aside from DMA, most of them had a handful of random games,, including licensed games and Spidersoft, now Rockstar Lincoln mostly just did pinball video games), instead turning them into local branches of Rockstar and making them work on Rockstar's games. Funny to think the studio that made a pair of Barbie Horse Adventures games for Vivendi worked on GTA, Manhunt 2, RDR and RDR2 (Möbius Entertainment, now Rockstar Leeds, I am _not_ making this up)
