"If I ever get a time machine, I'm sending you back to the Edo period." has got to be the downright funniest thing ive ever heard.
Bro made a "You're going to Brazil" before it was cool
@@Aeon_Is_Near what if he wanted to send the guy to Brazil in the Edo period??? Would’ve been so SO fucked up
i read this when he said this by accident
The weird thing is that the Edo period wasn't a tough time to be alive at all, in fact it was a period known for being peaceful and for its economic growth. Maybe he got it confused with the Sengoku period, back then everyone was absolutely miserable due to the constant civil wars...
@@AC3electrosphere I think it's because this person was about some riddles this person made.
Virgin angry Hidemushi (too coward to use a real name) vs. Literal Chad Kaoru Ogura who comes to work unwashed so everyone gets to taste his 6-time post-coital musk
cannot stress how big of a w that is
*everyone kneeled out of respect*
Uhh, I think Kaoru's a woman.
@@markkoetsier6475 Yeah I was suspecting the same considering Hidemushi complains that they "ran off with some man" and looking up for the name Kaoru mostly would be used for females (even though it's gender-neutral)
But either way, *6 times in one night, damn*
I feel like Hidemushi was intentionally exaggerating or lying about that part. Considering how equally mean-spirited his comments were to his male friends for also being "sex pests" or "nuisances" to him while working on this game.
Also I bet the atmosphere smelled like ass-sweat in general, and he decides to blame it on Kaoru just'cause. Like for all we know, Kaoru probably took a 2 hour shower and Hide would still blame her anyways.
6 times in one night, what a queen
For what it's worth, the game this secret message comes (Erika to Satoru no Yume Bouken) from was recently fan translated into English, including the message itself. So give it a try and see it for yourself if you feel inclined.
I might SMT protag, I might.
What if SMT is the byproduct of theangry atlus devs who want to torture their players?
holy shit the SHEER VOLUME OF SALT FROM THE ANGRIEST ATLUS STAFF MEMBER XD
It's worth while making videos like this, even if they aren't solved because you can always make a definitive video later with missing info filled in. Based off the message, it seems more like a joke.
I'm pretty sure Pop-Team Epic just referenced this incident in their latest episode (Season 2, Episode 6), it was pretty funny and took me off gaurd. Never knew this video would come in handy like that.
Larrue! Yes, you! You bastard!!!
Thanks for the video ❤
Gotta say how someone discovered this is hella impressive.
Interesting to hear someone digging into who these rants were about (even if most of it just kinda went over my head)
Also, his kinda reminds me of "the Tetris rant" found in The New Tetris for the N64. Some programmer wrote entire paragraphs about his frustrations (and his good times) working on the game and with company. He also had a massive list of stuff he hated, and multiple big pieces of ASCII art
One of my favorite tidbits was that he didn't expect it to be found for a long time...
Data-miners discovered it like two or three days after it released
Cool to think about this being discovered online 13 yrs after release. I wonder how many knew about it
I'm not sure I found myself here, but when I hear an Atlus tale in the form of Are You Afraid of the Dark...I'm in.
Crazy stuff, great video as always
i wished a dev would do this in all Atlus games
Yep. Especially SMT 1 & 2, and P1 (not 2). Maybe even SMT IF. It'd be hilarious to see their frustrations really. In later games it seems more figured out. Leave more replies with other Atlus games that it would be great to see folks.
karate kid...jaws?, AVGN intensifies
Jaws on NES was unironicly one of the better LJN games. It plays well, has a cool premise, and reminds me a lot of old flash games I played as a kid. It just has a lot of that NES Shovelware jank due to all LJN games being so rushed.
Not the Are You Afraid of the Dark opening…
I had to
hmm why is Kazuma Kaneko famous???
I don't know if that was a joke or not, but iirc Kaneko was the original demon designer for the Megaten franchise. He also had some real contribution to both Persona 1 and the Persona 2 duology-he was the story designer, iirc.
who knows, it's not like he done much for the last 10 years anyways...
1 he’s drippy 2 he’s a underrated fashion reference icon 3 the art genuinely has a lot of symbolism and cool lil details if you are the type to look into all of it. There’s legit HOURS stuff to look into on random demons he’s done. He’s had a giant impact on smt and the series as a whole going forward.
I misread this as a fusion of this and the video title being "Why is Kazuma Kaneko so Furious?"
He's a famous florist
Let’s go you’re almost at 10k!
Banger video Larrue
This guy is a freaking legend, I wonder where he is nowadays
Reminded me of a Guru Larry video mentioned this years ago and wasn't expected the deep digging.
I literally went to go see what he said just now cuz of this comment, didn't know there was other vids about this outside of Tara A Devlin's
@4:44 - Are you sure the text didn't say that he swore not to go to soaplands until the project was over? That's a far different context than saying not using soap.
I rewatched that section because I didn't think about it, but you may be right. Especially since some of the other messages were sexual in content, talking about sleeping with someone 6 times in a night, someone giving him porn, another person having "abnormal fetishes," this seems like the likely context. I think soaplands are also sometimes shortened to soaps, so saying he didn't use soaps could have gotten misunderstood as using actual soap.
Good job spotting that one.
Well it says soap but sometimes soaplands are abbreviated as just soap. I'm not exactly fluent in Japanese yet but it really does just say soap.
@@Larrue So it sounds like it could really go either way, but without any context, we're just left to guess?
Could be either, when translating this I consulted my Japanese friends and they suggested it was probably the bathing thing, so that's why I went with that
brave choice starting the video with blink 182 lyrics
I dunno Takeba. I have difficulty trusting you take on that bravery after your vicious insulting Iori. Are you sure you don't determine bravery by perceived usefulness and intelligence, rather than actual merit?
shit, i actually remember this rant, well kinda, i never actually got the full rant, but i remember being fascinated by secret messages left in-between lines of code, sometimes accessable via easter egg, and the pissed off rant was a common one back then.
i don't know why though i don't remember any after the 5th generation of consoles, maybe they only slipped past because teams were so small and games got pumped out so quickly that a 7-12 man team making 11 games in 2 years honestly checks out, so there was more of an opportunity to slip it in, or perhaps the new tetris controversy just soured the whole practice.
granted i also might just not know that many purely by happenstance, or because we can't decompile most modern games, so maybe each fifa game has a violent rant that they only leave for hackers to one day find.
Subbed!!! Can u do a video on Groove on Fight?
This absolute legend of a programmer was referenced in Pop Team Epic!.
Oh where?
@@Larrue Pop Team Epic - Second season, episode 6. There is a segment in which they parodied Tokimeki Memorial, and near the end they referenced the hidden message of Hidemushi. It was epic!.
You can look it up on RUclips as: "DATING SIM!! - pop team epic season 2"
"You left me roses by the stairs"
おもしろい...
Also Growlanser, awesome.
I am hired to work in game dev - industry beginning next year, and I sure hope I will have lots of fun experiences like this to share in the far future, too.... =w=
That sure was something
6:10 Lemmings? Like he he converted the music to a certain version of the game? Cuz I know he didn’t compose the music. That was the people at dma design for the og amiga version.
7:11 Guess that guy ended up lending his name to an SMT antagonist if I'm not mistaken.
I really don't understand the negative assumptions about the guy who wrote this, to me it sounds exactly like an open letter a Western senior programmer or whoever on a team would write after the release of a game and they've left the company or something.... yeah a few of them seem petty but he just sounds like a professional who saw himself as always acting professionally, and naturally had gripes with peers or employees who were less than professional in his eyes... he says "I love you" to his wife at the end, and thanks lots of other people sincerely.... there's no stupid jealousy or anything else going on; honestly this is all very boring, standard stuff he's complaining about. The funniest one to me is where he is seemingly thanking someone but then says "I know all about your abnormal fetishes" like a threat or something lol... it was probably meant in a friendly way that doesn't translate culturally.
8:53 Good, I was hoping New York Nyankies (also known as Rockin' Kats overseas) would come up at some point.
Dang he put everyone on blast
Box smell so strong that you think you're having sex in a seafood marketplace.
I already knew about this rant due to Larry Bundy Jr’s Japanese Ticked-Off Programmer Rants video. Still hilarious to hear folks narrate it given how ticked off the programmer in question seemed to have been when writing all this down originally. 😂
12:38 is it supposed to be the "4st" account?
It's a user name. Their username is 4st
What's a Megaten? I discovered Atlus through Etrian Odyssey.
Hamster Paradise has me intrigued
woulda been cool to see the footage for itself
Holy shit 😂😂😂
Rich kids having fun with each other
John atlus was mad
Blink182 reference made this better.
It's probably just so painfully obvious to atlus who made this message.
With how none of the staff from this era are working there anymore I suspect everyone at this time knew, but the current staff probably don't know
lol?
Lol!
Hi rocky
Atlus made several games published by the rainbow of doom? What?!?
based dev
Show the shames history to world from japan games one.
Can someone explain to me how two siblings can be called Erika and Satoru?
Erika is actually a regular Japanese name in fact, so much that any and all international variants work the same
here from pop team epic
?
😈😈
Iga=Koji Igarashi?
That was my thought too
They haven't worked on anything atlus related at the time as far as I can tell
doesnt "kusoge" translate to "shitty game"
Yeah it's the antithesis to kamige or god game
Damn hideo kojima worked on this game?
A Hideo Kojima game
Appreciate the either gender equality or LGBT allyship this guy showed to Kaoru. He cares not for the gender of this person nor the gender of who they’re having sex with. The only thing that matters is they stink, and are a bastard. It’s beautiful really
Is that a takashi murakami pfp? That's so cool
why is that japanese man in front of a confederate flag?
They didn't know the context behind it, therefore they didn't care. It's like being a Tienanmen survivor and asking why some 12 year old has a CCP or Communist flag in their room, just pure ignorance on their part.
@@jojobizadTRASH I mean, sure. But in the case of the 12 year old, they are aware of Communism and while they may not be hip to the nuances of why the CCP or whatnot isn't the salvation of wherever they're from, they're aware of the concept and probably identify with it to some degree.
My question is not one of outrage but out of confusion. Why would a group of Japanese people be congregating in a place with a big confederate flag? Is there some subculture out there that uses that flag in a different way than the couple of ways it's used in the US? Did they just meet up in a particularly "prideful" part of the deep south and just think the flag would look cool in the background of their picture? I'm not supposing they know what it's about (hence why I specified Japanese man) but it's just confusing to me why they'd ever even come in contact with the flag in the first place.
@@Lee-fw5bd there's another thread here that talks about this same image, so imma summarize the context of the photo before I give my reason why they have the flag at this bar in the first place.
The photo is basically an interview that just so happen to take place at a bar, so I don't think they knew anything about the flag itself. As for the bar having the flag itself, my guess is that it looks more western/American than the US flag (visually speaking), therefore they used it.
That's my theory. The same is said for Showbiz Pizza and Chuck-E-Cheese, since they used the Confedrate, California Republic and US flag in their buildings in the 70s-80s.
If I could sum up this video with an emoji: 🤓
Yeah
more like 😡
I don't understand. What's wrong with it?
@@Mina27325 yknow, angriest atlus employee, angry emoji. Hence the 😡
That confederate flag in the background of Cozy's shot is so scary when you think about recent Japanese history.
Yeah, the political implications are immense. It's strange considering he's the one who directed SMTII when the games themes would run counter those beliefs he might hold if we're to take that flag at face value. But who knows, he probably had the flag because he was edgy. Seeing how Atlus employees historically act I think the edginess theory is the more likely than the political one.
@@phillemon7664 Not really, that image was just taken at a random bar they were having an interview, there’s no deep implications there
Its a super rad pic to be fair
@@dailydoseofvitaminc6565 there are a few flags that if i spotted them in a bar i would not go to that bar. that flag's one of them.
@@LieseFury You’re expecting a Japanese game dev in the mid 90s to instantly walk out of a bar that they supposed to have an interview in just because of the flag on the wall? Who knows if he even recognized it at the moment, you’re speculating on stuff where neither sides can have any actual proof, it’s a 25 year old photo and no one except Okada himself could say whether or not he understood what the flag meant
hey... larry bundy (guru larry) made this video 5 years ago...thats how i knew what it was about the minute you mentioned the game... its called Top 5 Hidden Pissed Off Programmer rants (japan edition)... maybe everyone watching this can go watch it (its got 4 more stories) and give him a like... thanks for at least adding to it by telling what happened to the people in it... i do appreciate that a ton...
Grilling your coworkers for having sex? Serious incel energy from this guy.
Hey, he's gladly invited to the virgin party. We have coke zero cherry vanilla this year, who's to dislike it?
this sounds more like a playful joke between close friends than a actual rant to me, dont think too hard about it, its not that deep
I mean, he hated the smell, it's like saying you hate excersice because people sweat and it's disgusting.
7:52 The fucking pronounciation is in the cover and somehow you mispronounce it...
I went with the French pronunciation because atlus has used both pronunciations and I like the French better.
