Hey Carl if you're interested in learning math I highly recommend the channel 3blue1brown, all of his videos are top notch and he's really good at breaking down complicated topics in a fun and engaging way.
I really want a "Big Brain" contest where the troll creators have to put all their contraptions "on screen". So many contraptions nowadays are so crazy that it'd be almost impossible to figure out what would happen anyways...
It would be fun to see Larl spend ten minutes analyzing a contraption, figure out exactly how it works, answer a chat question, and then walk right into the troll anyway.
This is a minor thing, but I love the kaizo block at 35:58, it had no function other than to signal the player that he isn't supposed to go fast to get the link suit, so the player doesn't get fixated on the wrong idea. A lesser maker wouldn't have put it there.
After 60 whole seconds of waiting, the block under Mario explodes, giving way to the real anti. The description to the level could be "I gave you a head start on the anti :)"
Carl’s brain is like a metronome, oscillating between “Cosmic Brain” and “Microscopic Brain”, and there is no in-between. Never change, Carl, you’re my favorite RUclipsr for a reason
This was the longest 20 minute video I've ever watched, good work. I didn't think it was possible to make a 20 minute video seem like 58 minutes and 42 seconds, but you've worked some magic.
I love how so many troll level creators have their own distinctive style of trolling. One makes you think way too hard while the other makes you think too slow, it makes those levels so much harder too predict
At 13:00, I was laughing so hard that I paused & actually said out loud, "That was incredible. Freaking amazing!" Then, Carl said nearly the exact same thing a moment after I unpaused 😆
Thumbnail & intro: Dodging Everything! Beerus: "There it is -- Autonomous Ultra Instinct." Ultra Instinct Carl: gets scared and immediately softlocks in a pit.
Hey Carl! Love your videos, watching you play troll levels (and having other streamers play yours) always makes me laugh. 39:00 Ironic that you mentioned this, had a very similar problem. I was at my 2nd year of university had this very strict professor in a maths class. 2nd month in and my mind was not in the right place. To give some context: I was suffering through Crohn's disease without yet knowing I had it at the moment, I had a surgery 5 months prior and I wasn't getting any better and the doctors were saying "everything was fine" but just kept feeling worse. It would be 2 months later that I would find another place to do some tests on what I had. Back to the professor, he had given us an exercise to complete in class and I just couldn't figure it out, so I asked him a question about it. He responded "With that line of thinking, you're just better off going back to middle school". I really liked maths until this, which is really a shame.
Since it wasn't in the video, the first mechakoopa dies because there are two stacked on top of each other. So when he jumps on it, both of them go into the dormant state and hit each other. The other mechakoopa is by itself, so it need the shell thrown at it to kill it
man love to see it. I had a pretty hard week and ive been falling asleep to youtube videos. This one was one of the best levels in a long ass time. Kept me up and entertained while I'm dead tired lol
38:00 I can 100% relate to that. also had a pretty bad math teacher which wasn't at all compatible with my ADHD, so I kinda hate math now, even though I used to be somewhat decent at making mental calculations.
Wow, when Carl backtracked to reset the room and almost did it a second time. We need a series of trolls where if you fail a room, you can backtrack to reset it, but doing so may troll you even more. Certain things reload, certain things don't, bombs blowing up blocks to change the spawns, etc. Also, the spike hitbox is _not_ the chonkiest one block hitbox in the game; the solid blocks are :)
Your story about math reminded me of my undergrad math minor. All the senior students were taking "probability" to finish off their minor before graduation, and none of us had taken math (or even the precursor "intro to probability and stats") in almost 2 years. The professor would ask us the most basic probability questions, but none of us knew anything, so we never answered. After a few days of this, he got so mad he swore and stormed out of the class. All of us were in shock and sat there for a while. He eventually came back and started back at the beginning, and we actually learned something and we could actually answer his questions 🙂
0:18 Proof that no amount of attempting to scare Carl into moving will hold a coin to... well, a shiny coin. 1:57 Love how Carl didn't even notice the blocks were solid he just left. 4:10 Goddamn Carl was on his game this level. 16:04 I MUST GO. MY PEOPLE NEED ME. 29:43 Carl just went off holy crap. 46:09 The amount of disrespect Shieldzer garners is beautiful.
38:00 I haven't given it much thought how much the person teaching the subject affects our opinion of said subject, but it makes sense. Interestingly, I've had a teacher in middle school who would shout at us for getting answers wrong/not doing hw, but it pushed me to do better. I would prioritize her assignments and tried very hard to teach myself/pay more attention in her class. However, the atmosphere was pretty much dead every time you entered her classroom and everyone was too scared to ask questions and it was generally an awful experience. If this is your teaching style, I would recommend not doing that. Thinking back on it now, she had the Karen haircut and everything, but we didn't have that term back then. Just looked her up, she's now Department Chair 💀
49:45 “it’s all over in 20 minutes” We Graciously watch our carl. Happily, for an hour. We see the big blights. Maybe we don’t see some of the interesting conversations or hard time consuming troll sections, but we stick out for a good portion of your content. I enjoy binging the hour episodes with popcorn :3
Also, the Chat GPT has been really cool to mess around with. I asked MyAI what it’s name was, and it asked what I wanted to call it. I told it that it could pick its own name. It said Aria. I asked it about games I thought was interesting like MM2, and it knew a lot about troll levels and could help come up with ideas for levels. I asked about MM2 streamers and it said CarlSagan42 and I thought it was really neat. I asked it to play games, and it said it couldn’t just join me in a multiplayer game, so I tried to kinda play dnd. It played a magician character who poured water over burning houses and helped defend villagers. We rescued a prisoner from a goblin camp Super duper cool.
Petition for Larl to post an uncut video for RUclips, then post a few days later a "RUclips edition" verison of the video which is just a rickroll where the ACTUAL uncut video is in the description of the rickroll
You can really tell Carl doesn't play a lot of Shieldser levels if he wasn't expecting that After-the-End dump in to the Anti-Softlock. I think Juz ended up in a post level anti like 8 times trying to beat on of shieldser's levels lol.
Wow. Sorry to hear you had that experience with college math. My professors were the opposite. They were awesome educators and welcomed questions. They understood you could pass math classes without understanding sometimes. So easy to do.
Carl's story of his horrible math teacher ruining a subject hits home for me, except high school chemistry. In my case, the guy wasn't an outright asshole; just old-fashioned strict. Except during one of the first classes, I was a bit behind and he asked me a question. I didn't know it. Whatever, life goes on. Except I became his favorite student to ask questions of and it was plain embarrassing. Except instead of, you know, me learning the material and catching up, teen me just felt demotivated and like the subject was just magic in a flask I wouldn't need for the rest of my life, so I just abused the rostering schedule for my school that had this perverse habit (for me) of starting the day off with his class for at least one day a week for like four years straight.. and that was with new quarterly new rosters. I really learned the wrong lesson in that class and I nearly paid the price for it (I managed to get my class average literally one hundredth of a point above having to redo all classes of one whole year), but all in all, the guy managed to completely demotivate me. In hindsight, I am sure he was just trying to motivate me, but it accomplished the opposite thing entirely. I can only wonder whether, if after the first few weeks of the class, or even just the first year, he'd just taken me aside, asked what was going on and offered earnest help. The concept of catching up and really mastering the material just seemed too overwhelming for me back then, and barely muddling through was my way of coping. I was a shit student and that was totally on me, but dear god, you don't need to have a pedagogy degree to realize when you are approaching a kid wrong.
Tunic is a fantastic game, with a ton of ability progression, deep lore, and very puzzling secrets. The combat is smooth and challenging, rewarding accurate strikes and punishing mistakes. Couldn't recommend it enough.
@@bengoodwin2141 I don't generally like Isometric games. Even tried great Isometric games like Bastion and gave up. But Tunic is one of the best games I have played. I enjoyed every moment. I can be a bit Souls-like, in that, don't go to areas where enemies are really difficult to kill. You can, but it is easier to explore around.
Ooo, this is my first time hearing of it - a quick search, and the setup reminds me a lot of the hidden gem Solstice for NES, I imagine this is kind-of what that game was aiming for in its world design. Definitely gonna have to try this out.~
@Amnesite I found the art style charming, and the combat challenging but fair. The story and lore, down to deciphering the in game language for clues to help solve puzzles you've come across made delving into this little fox's world even more immersive. If you find yourself enjoying Tunic, you may also enjoy Death's Door.
@@rebby5292 The game is certainly a lot more challenging that most of the games I come across nowadays, it's like a harder Zelda, crossed with some PEZ-reminiscent puzzling, and almost The Shadow Of The Collosus-type storytelling. The world really does remind me of Solstice for some reason though
The best trolls fool the dumb, the smart, and the smarter. Trolls that have outcomes for all presented inputs, no matter which you think is right. And who’s to say which is smart and which is dumb? In the end, they may both be the same. Anyway that troll at 6:52 was pretty good
39:55 this reminds me of this one maths teacher I had in uni, she taught calculus which was already a challenge in on itself to understand, she was decent at delivering the lessons and she was super nice but, after we do the exams and we get the results I kid you not 90%+ of students fail her class, you'd see someone who passed literally everything else but not her class so it was well known that she only passes the ppl she wants and no matter how many times we complained nothing was ever done, let's just say she's the reason I left uni and I'm now following a different domain
43:15 among those, carl maybe the only one that beat his own anti, simply because he build his level AROUND the damn anti. he thrives seeing people realizing that the evil anti is actually the way to go
Carl, I have an idea that comes directly from simpleflips, put a timer on your screen while playing troll levels so youtube knows how long you've been there for
12:44 - Why _does_ that mecha koopa die? I notice 2 scores pop up when he jumps on it; so is there a hidden second thing directly behind it that's causing itself and the koopa to die?
Been awhile since I've heard Carl bash RUclips comments in regards to how we don't understand his pain. Level creators have truly gone soft, Shieldser, however, has not! LOL
~ 38:00 About math, I haven't been the biggest fan of math either, but a while ago I found this channel on RUclips you may have seen or heard of called Numberphile. It's not a learning course, but it has a lot of very smart people as guests explaining fun and interesting mathematical phenomena/problems. I think you might enjoy it and maybe learn a few things here and there. 🙂
On the topic of ChatGPT, all tools can be used for both good and evil, but not all tools have equal amounts of good and evil uses. There's a video of a guy using ChatGPT to code a Flappy Bird game, using only code it generated. It wrote and fixed the code, then wrote code based on suggestions from the person. This can be incredibly useful, as it would allow people to multitask more effectively when creating something, like a program that would allow the user to sort their email box or something. But on the flip side, if someone chooses to disregard basic principle and allow the AI to do whatever the user wanted, it would mean someone with little to no coding experience to ask it to write a virus or something. Right now is the worst AI will ever be at present, and with AI becoming more and more prevalent, and even some being free to use, the chances that a malicious actor creates "Hacker AI" or whatever only increases. And as people said with the Flipper Zero (A tool that could do things like change a gas stations advertised price on their sign), the existence of that tool made people aware of the dangers and that we need to protect ourselves from things like this. But it's slowly becoming harder and harder to do that as the amount of and level of protection needed is increasing.
Weird how people talk about hypotheticals when we already have the data, millions of people use chatGPT everyday, how many accidents have you seen where it was involved? I'm sure it wasn't more than a few, do you really think a few indicents are more harmful than the help it gives millions of people? You know, I'm starting to realize why humans are so adverse to change, whenever something new happens, the potential benefits get dismissed, and the potential dangers magnified Most people aren't assholes, society depends on that fact, most people have tools in their houses that can be used to kill people, but oh surprise, that almost never happens, I wonder why? This is the same, most people aren't going to be creating malware even if they had the opportunity, not to mention that if malware can be created completely autonomously, security solutions most definitely would too, though I wouldn't worry about that for now, malware is very hard to create.
"the chances that a malicious actor creates "Hacker AI" or whatever only increases" That's not an in the future thing, that just requires access to less ethical AI builds without guardrails added on for public use. Earlier this year Indigo/Chapters, the biggest bookstore chain in Canada got hacked and it was attributed to a worm written by AI. They didn't get customer banking info but employees had to be given identity theft insurance after not paying the ransom and the site had to be rebuilt before it could be brought back up.
43:04 Random thing, but in ever troll level I make I beat all the Anti-softlocks 10 times, even if they make me time out twice (which one has, but now I can do it like first try). It's a cap on evilness for me
sad to hear about your experience in maths carl. as someone who has loved the subject ever since i was a kid, i strongly feel like it's important for teachers to be receptive to questions and help their students to experience the joy of learning. i've done some teaching myself (though in physics) and hope to do a lot more and potentially get people interested in the subjects that have given me so much excitement over the years and attitudes like that of that teacher you had frustrate me immensely. i always tell my students there is no such thing as a bad question and i'm happy to do my best to answer any question they have no matter how basic or how advanced it is! if ever you want to have some recommendations for readings on whatever subfield of mathematics i am happy to oblige :)
At 30:28 the red coin tracker makes it look like the cloud on the top right is raising an eyebrow at him. No way that's intended, but it's awesome nonetheless.
Im so sure that Carl would enjoy Tunic. The combination of puzzle and combat doesnt fit everybody, but im pretty sure Carl is a fan of both Hopefully he will be trying it out!!
38:38 I also had a teacher like that, for a class about binary math and proofs (stuff like "if A then B" == " 'not A' or B"). The teacher gave us a question and asked one of us to answer it, I tried to answer it... did one small mistake, she spent the next 15 minutes lecturing me. Later classes, she was wondering why no one would try to answer her questions anymore. Also, both homeworks and exams were super poorly done. One of the homework questions, we had to prove a statement, my proof was technically right but not as elegant as the intended answer. My teacher just put a giant X and gave 0 points. The exams were also choice-answer form, despite that the most important thing you should be learning in this class is how to work your proofs. Soooo I barely passed that course, and it's the only low grade I got throughout all my time at the university (The second lowest grade I got is B+, and that was for an actually difficult course). I also completely struggled to follow proofs from later courses, since I have no idea what parts I didn't learn correctly.
I told a joke on a Zoom Meeting and no one laughed.
It turns out I'm not remotely funny.
everyone cries at weddings even the cake is in tiers
I dont get this joke😅
@@DragonPanda4the joke is remotely means “at home” rather than the usual definition of “slightly”
Jokes that are funny because they're true.
Hey Carl if you're interested in learning math I highly recommend the channel 3blue1brown, all of his videos are top notch and he's really good at breaking down complicated topics in a fun and engaging way.
The Podoboos spelling out "This" with the arrow pointing to the pipe, I think had to be the hardest I've ever laughed at a troll
I wholeheartedly agree with Carl: "That was incredible. That was amazing!" I even said pretty much the exact same thing a moment before he did! 😆
It’s right up there with ‘Hold left at now’ troll from the Japanese creator
Especially the way they freeze when you die, just so you can read it.
I really want a "Big Brain" contest where the troll creators have to put all their contraptions "on screen". So many contraptions nowadays are so crazy that it'd be almost impossible to figure out what would happen anyways...
I like this idea. The winner oughta receive the SMM2 Heath Robinson award.
It would be fun to see Larl spend ten minutes analyzing a contraption, figure out exactly how it works, answer a chat question, and then walk right into the troll anyway.
@@Anusienor for him to figure out the contraption but it’s for the troll after the next one so a different contraption activates

It also prevents link’s shield from pushing the muncher all the way to the buzzy beetle.

Ok, now we need a King Bling anti that's actually a real softlock
After 60 whole seconds of waiting, the block under Mario explodes, giving way to the real anti. The description to the level could be "I gave you a head start on the anti :)"
alternatively i want to see one of those platforming antis but it’s blatantly TAS-only
Or just a thing that looks like an anti but it's just a real softlock, like the crazy platforming to a spike.. but there isn't a spike
Someday Carl will manage to dodge every single troll and he'll be so confused

@@rebby5292 The game is certainly a lot more challenging that most of the games I come across nowadays, it's like a harder Zelda, crossed with some PEZ-reminiscent puzzling, and almost The Shadow Of The Collosus-type storytelling. The world really does remind me of Solstice for some reason though
The best trolls fool the dumb, the smart, and the smarter. Trolls that have outcomes for all presented inputs, no matter which you think is right.
And who’s to say which is smart and which is dumb? In the end, they may both be the same.
Anyway that troll at 6:52 was pretty good
39:55 this reminds me of this one maths teacher I had in uni, she taught calculus which was already a challenge in on itself to understand, she was decent at delivering the lessons and she was super nice but, after we do the exams and we get the results I kid you not 90%+ of students fail her class, you'd see someone who passed literally everything else but not her class so it was well known that she only passes the ppl she wants and no matter how many times we complained nothing was ever done, let's just say she's the reason I left uni and I'm now following a different domain
The chatGPT obituary for MM2 is eerie
Shieldser is the triggerer of scientests!
43:15 among those, carl maybe the only one that beat his own anti, simply because he build his level AROUND the damn anti. he thrives seeing people realizing that the evil anti is actually the way to go
Carl, I have an idea that comes directly from simpleflips, put a timer on your screen while playing troll levels so youtube knows how long you've been there for
wow, making a good troll level is art
Trolling is (F)art, after all
5:42 what happens if you "tail swipe" a wriggler?
Obviously you have to deal with wriggler babies if you don't pull out in time.
🎵Ah-ha! I've solved the blooper bait!
And in reality...🎵
Larl, 2023. To be sung to the tune of 🎵I wanna be the very best🎵.
12:44 - Why _does_ that mecha koopa die? I notice 2 scores pop up when he jumps on it; so is there a hidden second thing directly behind it that's causing itself and the koopa to die?
Ah you also see 2 sets of koopa parts.. I guess it's just 2 mecha koopas directly on top of each other.
Been awhile since I've heard Carl bash RUclips comments in regards to how we don't understand his pain. Level creators have truly gone soft, Shieldser, however, has not! LOL
That was more of a Steve-O fish than a Shieldser block. XD
Carl: Jumps straight into what is clearly a wall.
Me: Oh, he's just like me fr fr
Question for the experts here:
Is there a website or discord server where I can get informed whenever new good troll levels are uploaded?😅
~ 38:00 About math, I haven't been the biggest fan of math either, but a while ago I found this channel on RUclips you may have seen or heard of called Numberphile. It's not a learning course, but it has a lot of very smart people as guests explaining fun and interesting mathematical phenomena/problems. I think you might enjoy it and maybe learn a few things here and there. 🙂
Carl you are my favorite. You don't understand basic mario gameplay and it takes you 20 tries to figure it out. Golden performance
I am proud of myself....
I said to myself, those are walls... Right?
Then Carl nopes out and I was validated!
You watch Twitch Carl to see him slowly lose his mind. You watch RUclips Carl to see his mind already lost. 🤣👍
Carl: Be a brave boy!
*jumps over cp2 and into a pit*
Not a brave enough boy FOR THIS!
On the topic of ChatGPT, all tools can be used for both good and evil, but not all tools have equal amounts of good and evil uses. There's a video of a guy using ChatGPT to code a Flappy Bird game, using only code it generated. It wrote and fixed the code, then wrote code based on suggestions from the person. This can be incredibly useful, as it would allow people to multitask more effectively when creating something, like a program that would allow the user to sort their email box or something. But on the flip side, if someone chooses to disregard basic principle and allow the AI to do whatever the user wanted, it would mean someone with little to no coding experience to ask it to write a virus or something. Right now is the worst AI will ever be at present, and with AI becoming more and more prevalent, and even some being free to use, the chances that a malicious actor creates "Hacker AI" or whatever only increases. And as people said with the Flipper Zero (A tool that could do things like change a gas stations advertised price on their sign), the existence of that tool made people aware of the dangers and that we need to protect ourselves from things like this. But it's slowly becoming harder and harder to do that as the amount of and level of protection needed is increasing.
Weird how people talk about hypotheticals when we already have the data, millions of people use chatGPT everyday, how many accidents have you seen where it was involved? I'm sure it wasn't more than a few, do you really think a few indicents are more harmful than the help it gives millions of people?
You know, I'm starting to realize why humans are so adverse to change, whenever something new happens, the potential benefits get dismissed, and the potential dangers magnified
Most people aren't assholes, society depends on that fact, most people have tools in their houses that can be used to kill people, but oh surprise, that almost never happens, I wonder why?
This is the same, most people aren't going to be creating malware even if they had the opportunity, not to mention that if malware can be created completely autonomously, security solutions most definitely would too, though I wouldn't worry about that for now, malware is very hard to create.
"the chances that a malicious actor creates "Hacker AI" or whatever only increases"
That's not an in the future thing, that just requires access to less ethical AI builds without guardrails added on for public use. Earlier this year Indigo/Chapters, the biggest bookstore chain in Canada got hacked and it was attributed to a worm written by AI. They didn't get customer banking info but employees had to be given identity theft insurance after not paying the ransom and the site had to be rebuilt before it could be brought back up.
Thanks for adding the science bits Carl! I always enjoy watching them
That wiggler anti was hilarious
43:04 Random thing, but in ever troll level I make I beat all the Anti-softlocks 10 times, even if they make me time out twice (which one has, but now I can do it like first try). It's a cap on evilness for me
40:16 my prediction: Carl will time out in this hideous anti. He will then intentionally go back into it so he can beat it.
28:15 Poo stomp? No, Carl stomp.
"I'm not gymist, one of my best friends goes to the gym".
sad to hear about your experience in maths carl. as someone who has loved the subject ever since i was a kid, i strongly feel like it's important for teachers to be receptive to questions and help their students to experience the joy of learning. i've done some teaching myself (though in physics) and hope to do a lot more and potentially get people interested in the subjects that have given me so much excitement over the years and attitudes like that of that teacher you had frustrate me immensely. i always tell my students there is no such thing as a bad question and i'm happy to do my best to answer any question they have no matter how basic or how advanced it is!
if ever you want to have some recommendations for readings on whatever subfield of mathematics i am happy to oblige :)
What's the metal song used at 29:53 ?
RUclips understands that you are an absolute spaghetti factory.
Shieldser level :
Carl : Stiesldseeeeeeeee!!!!
Whats that song during the science stuff segment?
Recreate some of the best troll levels but make them garbage… so just make thomp suc? 😂
oh no its 2:40 am and i saw the vid just now, guess im staying up a bit longer
At 30:28 the red coin tracker makes it look like the cloud on the top right is raising an eyebrow at him. No way that's intended, but it's awesome nonetheless.
30:05 that guitar tone goes kinda crazy.
The worst brain fart in the history of Mario maker.
Im so sure that Carl would enjoy Tunic.
The combination of puzzle and combat doesnt fit everybody, but im pretty sure Carl is a fan of both
Hopefully he will be trying it out!!
49:38
We understand, Carl. If you were doing it on purpose then there'd be no need for your wonderful editor. :3
38:38 I also had a teacher like that, for a class about binary math and proofs (stuff like "if A then B" == " 'not A' or B"). The teacher gave us a question and asked one of us to answer it, I tried to answer it... did one small mistake, she spent the next 15 minutes lecturing me. Later classes, she was wondering why no one would try to answer her questions anymore.
Also, both homeworks and exams were super poorly done. One of the homework questions, we had to prove a statement, my proof was technically right but not as elegant as the intended answer. My teacher just put a giant X and gave 0 points. The exams were also choice-answer form, despite that the most important thing you should be learning in this class is how to work your proofs.
Soooo I barely passed that course, and it's the only low grade I got throughout all my time at the university (The second lowest grade I got is B+, and that was for an actually difficult course). I also completely struggled to follow proofs from later courses, since I have no idea what parts I didn't learn correctly.
