>>737099785the what
>>737099968Bowser's an allegory for the demiurge.
>>737099572The game was so shitily put together that it does weird shit that people interpret as creepy.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdXLpoNLywg
>>737099572Itsa me a mario!Itsa you a deekhead!
>>737099968going through paintings into the real (or false?) reality, the masonic floor, there's a schizo infographic on the stuff
>>737099572They were right. I'm 33 and I first played this game when I was six years old. It was my first game. I loved it, I finished it but some parts really creeped me out as a kid. To be fair, I was a little pussy kid and I never played my copy of Banjo Kazooie because it creeped the hell out of me.
>>737100772I can understand that for Big Boo's, but the rest of games is all good vibes. Cozy graphics and sounds. Charming, dream-like worlds. It's all rather soothing to me.GMod i do think they have a point about though. Being alone on an empty map while having complete control but at the same time having this paranoia about something happening without your input is very unsettling.
>>737100772I couldn't play pokemon when I was 5 because going into a cave and fighting a bat scared me. Perhaps we shouldn't take the opinions of children too seriously
>>737100772>>737101005Well since we are sharing I never got spooked by anything in video games and I started playing at 5 years old.I did, however, get scared in movies: when the gazelles stomp Mufasa to death and the scene where a rocket is strapped to the RC car in Toy Story.
>>737099572the negative emotional aura of wet dry world is disturbing. It gets horrifying when you realize how many people died there.
I blame stupid ass .exe "creepypasta" and shitty ass conversions like e33something
>>737100072He says in the video that modern games likely have the same timer issues doe
>>737100072modern games fall apart after 5 hours instead of a week
>>737101135Well, when I was a kid I assumed videogames and cartoons operated on logic, so I was scared of the chain chomp since it assumed it would tear mario apart, similarly, in the pokemon league episode of scyther vs bulbasaur I was scared to watch since I assumed scyther would slice bulbasaur in half. Wondering how kid me would have reacted to the mario 64 gore romhacks if he was presented with it in a believable way, lmao
>>737099572did you not play the game? try playing the game
>>737100772>spoileri'm not sure if it's just some retarded phobia i have but large bodies of water that are an unusual colour like algae blooms and sulfur lakes make me feel really uncomfortable and i think playing through rusty bucket bay as a kid started it
>>737100072>leave your console on and untouched for a week>CREEEPY SOME GRAPHICS STOPPED>WOOOOOOOOOOW SCURRYYY
>>737100772I didn't think SM64 was creepy but I did think it was a little lonely. It feels more sparse than later 3D Mario games
>>737102574>When a floating point error leads to a glitch on screen and causes zoomers to freak out and write entire 20-page dissertations on how the game scarred their childhood.
>>737104124i poured soi on my nintendo 64 and mario glared at me with a realistic animal-like intent and it was then i realized that despite mario 64 being a kid's game it has very deep and mature themes
>>737102736Mario 64 has that kino era aesthetic of large lonely 3D worlds instead of shoving NPCs and shit constantly down your throat in fear of you getting bored.
