considering it's embedded in the cultural consciousness still, I'd argue it's still the shit.

I really don't get what the point was, is it the challenge or just that it's kinda stupid?

it 1. involved hilariously in-depth convoluted exploits to be possible ("but before we get to that we have to talk about parallel universes") 2. is kinda fun to see these incredibly specific, incredibly passionate subcultures 3. the video itself is weirdly fun to watch, the guy does a great job making it weirdly interesting

Yeah I was interested in the 0.5 A press phenomenon in general rather than this one video but thank you, this was helpful.

the video is part of a long series of videos documenting how to beat mario 64 without pressing a, as part of the 'a button challenge'
