What's the Mario meme?

Okay, I was waiting for someone to come to me for this, but there is absolutely no way to succinctly summarize the whole thing so I really recommend watching the video I put below. Nonetheless, I will do my best.

This Speedrunner has made a half hour video explaining how he exploits a game bug in Mario 64 to complete this course with only “Half an A Press” (jump). This distinction is very important to him and he takes a lot of care to explain it, thus “Half A Press” became part one of the meme. 

The second part of the meme is the scuttlebug critter that he painstakingly spends a very long time glitching into raising off the ground so he can bounce off it later. Hence, all the “Rise” and “You raise me up” gags.

The final part of the meme is the multiverse theory that he has applied to the game. Essentially, he spends 12 hours building up Mario’s “de facto” speed with the first glitch I mentioned, allowing him to run so fast he travels across these other dimensions. On top of that, there’s reams of math involved so he ends up in the right dimension at the right time. These dimensions are arranged on a “QPU grid”, so if you see the words “QPU alignment”, it’s referring to interdimensional travel. It’s the most complicated game exploitation I’ve ever seen.

All so he can complete the course with only half an A press.

from reddit:

I’m gonna leave this as broad as possible, hope that works for you! Also, I don’t have this exact image in my head, so go wild if you choose this one, even rough sketches are awesome!

Mival Dumein, a hunter from the north. He’s a wanderer, an outsider, so I’d imagine him with a cloak above his chain mail shirt, making it not or barely visible.

He has a wooden staff for traveling, a longbow on the back, two shortswords on the side (feel free to leave out any of this equipment).

„Normal“ sized for a human, maybe on the bigger side. Very fair skin and dark brown/black hair, perhaps under a hood? Age: 25-30.

Is that too broad? Oh well, I could potentially expand on it. Thank you for reading in any case and it’s awesome that you do this!

I love this because it’s so completely at odds with stereotypes of “medieval” technology. It’s actually kind of over-complicated compared to many later instruments, in terms of the mechanisms.

[dr-archeville]

Hunh.  I’ve read about hurdy-gurdys, but never actually seen one, much less heard on in play.  Neat!

[eli-wray-deactivated20210322]

Very cool.

[nebet-ren]

I have heard these play in recordings (mostly in the backgrounds of history documentaries) but never knew what the instrument was. Nifty!

The sound actually reminds me a lot of a bagpipe, but strings rather than wind, of course.

[felixani]

This is fucking cool.

[rnoonpie]

This was my first exposure to a hurdy-gurdy (and this one is quite a lot simpler), and this guy is playing a Russian folk tune. Definitely give it a listen – I bought the song on iTunes years ago and still listen to it once in a while!

If you want Bernie Sanders to get elected in 2016...

Make these 2 things clear to everyone you know: 1) We MUST vote in primaries. If we do not vote in primaries corporatists, oil, and lobbyists win. You will be told by the under-educated that “A vote for bernie is a vote for the Republicans” - this is because they don’t understand the difference between the primary elections, and the actual elections.

The primary decides whether our *THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE* Bernie GETS to replace one of the 2 “parties”, with a man who is against the 2 party system. - That’s the most important part.

Second – Make sure that everyone you know understand this: The youth decide this election. – For the first time in history, there are MORE PEOPLE interested in a 3rd party person breaking the system, than are interested in supporting either of the two parties. 45% of american voters want a win from a third party. Which means that 1) They are within a 3% margin of a totally smashing defeat of the 2-party system, and the establishment’s ACTUAL plan to defeat it is: Hope that nobody notices. All the adults are trained into their stupidity.

When Barak Obama ran he almost doubled young voter turnout. We need just HALF of that to happen again, and for the 3rd-party believers to be united. United. From Anarchists to Libertarians, we need them all to agree to start out, by breaking the system.

THAT’S the primary. - If he gets the votes on the floor, and they REFUSE to give him the nomination? Then we’re at war. Period. We are no longer ruled by consent.

THEN, after he has the nomination, he will have a campaign team. A good one. We want to know who they are and then call them and ask them what they want and then do what they say. To the finish line. That’s about it.

Spread the info, guys. Bernie Sanders COULD actually change America. We need him. Please don’t take a lackadaisical approach to info spreading for the next year - get as many people on board as you have the time to convince!
