!! HI PATASHU

@@balt. hi! play Skala

@@Patashu wait Are you the large number library person

Nice

Poggers

Thanks, this comment made me realize I forgot to set my alarm

@@Crimson-_-blaze Same

I was like #420. My life is complete.

Ahhh, remember twitch plays btd?

The bombs only blow your clothes off

@@FrancoisTremblay Now this is the game I need to play

Don’t forget puzzle game 80085

no that was definitely his history before he cleared it but Tyler told him to take a screenshot first

three?

@@thatguyyouknowtheone4073 tyler has two editors

"Sexy minesweeper"

I like how he googled "puzzle game bobos" after "puzzle game boobs". He was indeed looking for bobos

Iirc he used to be a programmer back in the day. He mentioned it in one of his video where he played a game about programming a platforming robot.

He earned computer science in university (iirc)

Well, computer science, logic, math, puzzles, problem solving, programming can all fall under the same umbrella. So no wonder he can do things like that

@@gametheory6948 He actually never finished his degree, dropped out for KZfaq

He's not a mathematician

And then it pulls shenanigans like C to F, binary, and base 8

If this was my homework I would've worked a lot harder

There's this mobile game with similar concepts called Calculator: The Game. Played it a couple months ago, pretty neat, though not the mathematics is not as heavy.

And then they actually set your computer on fire

@@Yichh those aren't shenanigans...

A big part of that is probably hs background in computer science. Base 8, or octal is sometimes used in that.

I mean he studied computer science, you use binary and base 8 sometimes there

I recommend y'all the song "New Math" by Tom Lehrer, it explains base 8 pretty well

you can write base 8 in base 2, no prob

@@ObviusRetard actually I just started studying computer science at uni (though I live in Italy and things may be different in other places) and one of the first exams includes converting from base x to y, passing through base 10 and they taught us how to convert from x to 10 and from 10 to y so it very much is something he should know how to do very well Edit: with x and y I mean two given whole numbers greater than one

Binary is simple and easy to learn, most people just don't bother to because they don't need it. However, while I can't remember how base 10 works, let alone base 8, I remember having significantly more trouble learning them than binary.

Game's central mechanic: ooohh nooo your calculator is possessed and unusable normally! Game: hey tap here for a regular calculator lol

the calculator class gets to dual wield after level 15, highly recommended

and you can bring up wolfram alpha whenever you want lol

I love those too.

Honestly kind of wish he'd give me a moment to figure it out too.

there is alot of cute throught thats why he figures it out "quickly"

sometime there are subtle jump cuts you might notice as his facecam skips a lil

@@Bed12344 i dont really think that's the case for most of the levels, maybe some of the more particular one such as the °F to °C or the base 8 one, but the rest seemed doable to do quick

There's definitely cuts, probably tips on screen and more examples that we're missing

Did you get the email? I checked both spam and inbox repeatedly but don't see anything :/

just pirate it

I dont get it?

There are some really good math resources out there if you'd ever like to learn. It's hard to figure out the next step sometimes but I'd recommend 3 blue 1 brown. He handles a lot of different math including calculus. If you find something you want to learn about but can't understand the explanations look for the terms you don't recognize and start googling/browsing KZfaq. I really enjoy math and there's some really interesting tricks math uses to get past problems. Self taught math is difficult but you can learn almost anything you could in any classroom if you take the time to look

@@piercexlr878 Oh, I love him! 3blue1brown, Numberphile, Mathologer, and StandupMaths are all great things I watch. I just find my brain refuses to retain anything; every time calculus gets brought up, for example, I have to relearn the entire concept all over.

@@MikuJess Ah yeah I have to do a lot of relearning. A lot of the time I watch the beginning of a video to get an idea what it's trying to explain and then I try and figure it out before watching the rest. Works best with 3b1b since he flows very nicely from what you should know to what you dont. May not work as well for you but it's always helped me. That and just practice. Give yourself some numbers and see if you can make things work. In some cases even I'll just look up a 5ish minute video to clear up things I remember knowing but can't remember the details. Not sure if any of that will help but math is really interesting so I try and help people out if they're interested but struggling. Oh yeah dont get too far over your head. Don't rush the process. If you need to spend a week to actually understand something just spend the week and move onto what you wanted to learn. Rushing just means you'll be spending that time relearning later. If you need any help on anything I'd also be happy to point you in the right direction or explain it if I'm able. I'm a Calc 2 student at the moment but have a lot of additional random math knowledge I've gathered. It's late for me so ignore my inability to Grammer right now.

There are a lot of jump cuts

hmmm…

Who's Ben?

Ooh that one's god

So… just incognito mode?

@@LindenF incognito mode doesn't save logins so it's annoying to use constantly

Why would it matter? No one uses my PC but me and the ISP/NSA already have the stuff saved.

@@WowCreativeUsername I don't need my friends or family seeing the weird shit I find let alone let them see the sites I go to for piracy

@@coffeedude Setup logins beforehand, then use incognito.

I downloaded it, and my god it gets even worse.

I used to love math when I was younger but this is just breaking my brain, and ironically it is mostly because of Tyler. I think a key aspect to realize is that Tyler is simply good with numbers, and that it takes a damn good mind to follow along with his thinking because we have very little contextual clues that nudge his thinking on a path that the rest of us can predict. His flow of thought is not accessible because it is rapid and just wildly grasping around for inspiration: even if you understand what his comments mean does not mean you can instantly apply it to the context you can see, so you are always lagging a few seconds behind... but those seconds will already have him rushing down a few other lines of thinking at the same time that you then miss. I think playing it yourself and derping around and exploring the game on your own pace will make for a far more satisfying experience, because watching Tyler play just makes you feel like you suck at math. A large part of math is about seeing and understanding patterns, and since Tyler is also comfortable with university level math means he recognises patterns that someone without that experience will have to figure out on the spot.

@@Aviertje This is a very accurate comment! But I would still like to encourage you regarding maths, because you can be brilliant at maths but absolutely suck at a game like this. When you work as a mathematician, computer scientist, physicist, engineer, or any other work requiring university maths, you very rarely work with actual numbers. Your job is to understand the relations between, and within, abstractions and empirical data. So a person may for example be able to figure out an expression describing an infinitely growing geometrical structure, solve seemingly impossible integrals and differential equations, or discover new truths in graph theory that could be applied to economics, but still use the calculator to do simple addition. I myself simply do this. While I work on some problem and I quickly need to check if some numerical values are correct, if the solution doesn't come to me instantly, I just press the numbers into my calculator and I'm good to go. There is absolutely no prestige in doing it in your head because that space is already busy with more complicated matters that's not solvable by any known machine. What I mean by all this is that there is in reality a very big problem. There exists so many people that would be exceptional at maths, and that would come up with the most amazing revelations that could affect so much of the world. But these people does not become mathematicians... Because in an early school age they start believing that they are bad at maths simply because the mathematical path through school does not involve creativity, but remembrance and persistence. So when @Awbluefy say that they have 'a decent brain for math', that could actually be so much more true than what they may realise!

He has a name but it's funnier just to call him ben

Following the timestamps, "boobs" is the actual typo

It reminds me of Countdown that has a section where a bunch of numbers need to be put together to accomplish a random target number. I kinda want to see Rachel Riley (the personification of sexy and smart at head math) who just solves those things on the spot when the contestants can't figure it out, and see her speedrun this game. That would blow my mind.
