I remember some other youtube commenter said he used an image file that was just a comically absurd resolution image of Mercy from Overwatch looking smug, and apparently it was so large it just crashed the game.
See, the thing about attempting this with an image is that selecting an image causes it to get displayed on Arch's face-screen, which means the game must actually load it into memory (unlike its generic behavior with most file types, which only involves reading the metadata that states the length of the file without actually reading the file itself). I guess the devs must have assumed that no image file would ever be too large to fit in RAM, because "come on, it's just a picture." Also, music files will be played.
It's pretty straightforward code to write a 1TB file. The hard part is making sure you flush to disk and don't try to load it to memory. It's just two nested for loops iterating across a million to print 10^12 chars in a txt file, but making sure the file is consistently flushed to disk takes a bit more finagling.
Or, on Linux, you can just: fallocate -l 1T bigfile (That’s a lowercase L) Just make a 1Tb file of nothing but zeros, and doesn’t even write it to disk, just reserves the space on the filesystem. (Inscryption works great on Linux thanks to Proton, even Kaycee’s Mod)
Dear God, the glitchless speedrunners are going to have to have drives with 1 TB sized files on them while they play offline. I wonder how old they can get a file, though, for the second phase of the battle?
@@daz211 Yeah, I saw that with Markiplier's run. Unfortunately, my gaming laptop is only 2-3 years old (yet still can't play some of the games he plays).
Not everyone has space for a 1TB file, and not everyone can buy a hard drive. Most speedrun communities don't like it when a game is dependent on having specific hardware to do some sort of skip or glitch. It's likely to get banned for fairness sake unless you can fake a file that takes up that much space.
I wonder what would happen in the opposite case? I know certain types of write errors can produce files that officially clock in at _0 bytes_ in length.
Unless Inscryption is seriously futureproofed I doubt they would even go to the effort because to my knowledge a consumer hard drive that can hold a petabyte doesn't exist yet
@@VanessaMagick no real way of knowing if Inscryption does this, but i have an idea: 1. take the filesize in bytes. 2. divide by 1,024 until you have a value under 1,024. 3. now divide the filesize by that value. you should get an exact multiple of 1,024. 4. divide by 1,024 until you get 1,024 (should always land exactly on it eventually). 5. count how many times you divide. 6. multiply by 2. special cases: 7. if the filesize in bytes is less than 1,048,576, 1 damage. 8. if the filesize in bytes is less than 1,024, 0 damage. for a MB file, we get 1 division. multiply by 2, we get 2. for a GB file we get 2 divisions. multiply by 2, we get 4. for a TB file we get 4 divisions. multiply by 2, we get 8! for a PB file we would get 8 divisions, so that would be 16. this was a quick idea and i didnt super double-check if it actually 100% works, but if it does it should work indefinitely no matter the filesize, if someone can double-check me i'd appreciate it :)
I dont know why but i just find this hilarious, perhaps it’s the cube flinging around with no sense of gravity, or the archivist befuddled at the size of the file, or perhaps a mixture of the two.
technically you can use software to generate a file with junk data. there's even a type of malware called a "zipbomb" that's a zip file that's been tampered with so that when you decpress it, it generates a ludacris amount of this junk data and overloads your computer.
I definitely felt like this fight had a bunch of slight innuendos within it, especially with both how the archivist uses words like "girth" to describe size, and also the fact they literally stutter like a sussy r34 character when you give them a big file- I'm starting to think the creator has a secret file of archivist r34 hidden somewhere on his computer.
The game drops a notepad file in whatever folder the file was in explaining that he doesn't actually have the privileges necessary to delete it, so he tells you to do it yourself out of sport.
Bruh I remember when I was playing this boss (on my switch) and I was literally more worried about the sussy words that the archivist was saying- I remember at one point they literally just said "now choose a file based on its girth" 😳😳😳😳😳😳

When Hausemaster plays Inscryption and uploads the 2b2t world file:
LMFAO
Minecraft world are actually folders, you need to put it in a zip (with no compression if possible) and then use the zip file with the world
I mean, it weights petabytes

I'm going to pretend i understood every aspect of your comment
I created a few GB files; with CLI it's quite easy to do that
It might also be possible to fake it. If it just reads the meta data, it might be possible to just "trick" the game into thinking a file is that big
Or, on Linux, you can just:
fallocate -l 1T bigfile
(That’s a lowercase L)
Just make a 1Tb file of nothing but zeros, and doesn’t even write it to disk, just reserves the space on the filesystem.

you dont need to do this tho, lol. you can make files that Windows will believe is 1TB without actually needing to make a 1TB file.
You know, I've always wondered why the Archivist cares so much about the "girth" and "vastness" of your files

change the data of a file to be from 1989 and display as several yottabytes, then copy it and use it for both phases
1970*
Now do a video on the dialogue for each file type.
pretty sure there's a video for that on yt already
