    The annoying part about this for Pannen is that every time he exits a course, his RUclips name gets changed to "pannenkoek220".

    • @empyreum6869
      @empyreum6869 2 года назад +216

      Well, assuming the pannenkoek trinary name limit only saves 4 trits, He has a maximum saved trinary name value of 80 (Shout out to PC Simo). Assuming he wants to come back and do his next video with his original name we can calculate how many times he would need to exit a course for pannenkoek2012 to bring us another video. If only we had the number for the amount he already has exited a course ,we could approximate the next time he would become pannenkoek2012 again. naturally this wouldn't take very long but i guess the reason for his delay is that his whole name:pannenkoek2012 is a part of an even bigger 29 cypher name value system. TLDR: He might be trapped in Pannenkoek Limbo!

      For me, I never even got taught modulo, in school; and, as for binary, I really doubt my middle school teacher understood it, herself. Her explanation was literally: ”In the binary system, 0 represents 0, and 1 represents all the other numbers.” 🤯.

Colors used to only be stored in 8 bits, and the value for your HP in Dark Souls is stored in 16 bits. Huh.

    I love these videos. They are brutally dissecting SM64, and spills polygon blood all over the floor, because this is no autopsy, the game is still very much alive. The shallow arteries and veins in the throat area are still carrying blood, pumped by a heart that transforms the oxygen that the lungs are refining from yellow, red and blue coins. Thus, when the scalpel carves into the soft, slightly pixelated skin, the red liquids come gushing out in a pulsating manner, because there is no death. There is only the green mushrooms.
    The videos are also very well explained, which is always a welcome thing.

    You may already know this, but if you get 1000 coins in the Japanese version of the game, it sets your _lives_ to 999. Because the lives counter is signed, you end up with _negative_ 25 lives, displayed as "M25".

      +Macintosh Quadra 900 Yes, it does, just as much as decimal does as a matter of fact; you're just more used to the former. If you really still can't understand it even after hearing Pannen's explanation, then I don't know what to tell you, dude.
      Here's another example that'll hopefully make things a bit clearer:
      In decimal, 1234 = (1*(10^3)) + (2*(10^2)) + (3*(10^1)) + (4*(10^0)); or, 1000 + 200 + 30 + 4 = 1234.
      In binary, 1111 = (1*2^3) + (1*2^2) + (1*2^1) + (1*2^0); or, 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 15.

    Variables in memory on N64 games have a theoretical maximum of FFFF which would be 65535 (your course score), but for the coin records in the game, with only a 2 digit variable for that address in memory would be FF which we have established as 255.
