uh what

so it turns out the celestial seasonings founders were in fact cult members idk what to do with this information but this is like wild:

The Sleepytime Tea Founders Were Into a Really Skeezy New-Age Bible

In no time the friends were sauntering into the local bank to get a loan for their new business, “wearing jeans, smelling of herbs, and armed with Tupperware containers of Mo’s 36 and Sleepytime blends.” They called their company Celestial Seasonings, after co-founder Lucinda Ziesing’s flowername.

But there might be another reason they named it “celestial.” Mo Siegel and John Hay, two of the founders, were avid believers in a new-age bible called The Urantia Book, which followers call “an epochal revelation authored solely by celestial beings.” The book touches upon everything from mind control to a eugenics plot to eliminate the “inferior races” of our great nation.

not even the tea is safe

You listen to me, and you listen good. I’m sick and fucking tired of you trying to get in between me and what’s rightfully mine. If you so much as fucking look in my direction again, I’ll gouge your eyes out and force feed them to you. Do you understand me?

Hey guys while I’m reminiscing on old memes, the “Half A Press” video is legitimately one of the most fascinating videos I’ve ever seen and people looking at it like it’s “just a meme” are cowards

What makes it even better is before he says that he says “now what do we need all this speed for? After all, we build up speed for 12 hours”

It’s just absolutely beautiful because he deconstruct the game down to its core, making use of mechanics used to create a functional game and instead using them in new and frankly incredibly creative ways. It’s amazing, and if you missed out on the “Half A Press” meme, please watch the original video.

Controversial opinion: the “parallel universe” thing is less impressive when you find out that it can’t be done on the original hardware, and is only possible on an emulator. Of course the programmers didn’t consider what would happen when you build up speed for twelve hours; if you try it on the original N64 game, it crashes.

I would argue that it makes it more impressive. In the video he cites that he has to lock the camera as to not take it out of the original “universe” since it would crash the game, and it’s pretty clear that no one would be able to pick up a controller and pull something like this off, especially building speed for 12 hours, and turning oneself to pinpoint accurate angles. With all of the math and strategies introduced and involved, it becomes much less of a testament of skill, which is the centerpiece of Super Mario 64, and turns it into more of a problem-solving game, which I feel is where the impressive aspect comes from.

Yes, this route turned out to only work when emulated. But do you know what he did when he found that out? He designed a new route with the purpose of doing the exact same thing and had it verified on original hardware.

And guess what, he still builds up speed for over 12 hours, because high numbers in themselves don’t crash the console, what crashes the console is the potential errors that said high numbers can cause if you don’t use them carefully.

Never disrespect Pannenkoek on my dash ever again.
