Wait, the game is 128 bit. Eh probaly puts the extra value in the positive not negative, wait is that possible?

Probably some shenanigans with signed and unsigned integers being used together.

To clarify your comment, it's 1 more than the _signed_ 64-bit integer limit. I spent a bit of time trying to find a vaguely plausible path from (small positive number) to 0x8000'0000'0000'0000, but failed. TCXD11 is likely correct about signed/unsigned conversions being involved, but I cannot figure out how they could lead to this.

i like your words, funny man

@@delta3244 I did some thinking about this, and I do have a a theory on how it might have come about: First, the damage on the barrier was subtracted to zero, using signed integers. Assuming sign-magnitude is being used here (a.k.a. the leftmost bit being the sign, with 0 for positive and 1 for negative), subtracting something to zero can sometimes result in a negative zero, which would be represented in binary here with a 1 (for the negative sign) and 63 zeroes behind it. Second, when the barrier was revived, the damage was both 1) not changed, and 2) assumed to be an unsigned integer (because why would damage ever be negative?), causing the negative zero to be reinterpreted as a positive number. As stated before, the number was 1 with 63 zeroes behind it in binary, which is basically 2^63 as an unsigned integer, so... exactly the number we observe here. As you can probably tell, regardless of whether this theory is correct, a number of mistakes had to be made to get this kind of result.

That's really true and worth pointing out! I've never used Holly Barrier myself (premium go brr), but even before i heard the in-depth explanation of how Holly works in this video, i could already intuit most of Holly's mechanics just from footage of Holly being used. _The exception being the bugs and _*_that thing_*_ that you can do with blover_

Plus Reinforce-mint cleans up the board when there’s enough Holly Barriers

Reinforce mint is IMO the most overpowered plant in the whole game.

pair it with blover and you basically have doom shroom in a box

And the walnut aid trophy thingy

Btw I Have Holly Barrier And Reinforce-mint And If You Also Do,Place THREE Lanes Of Holly Barrier,Then Place Reinforce-mint You Will DESTROY The Zombies.

what's that? a strong leaf plant pushed you back with strong winds? that means bye bye for you!

Mid air? NUH UH

Zombie: Gets knocked back Blover: *YOU ARE GOING TO BRAZIL*

​@@spamton_g_spamtom474mid water? NOAH UGH

Less so forgot, more so isn't relevant. Heck, even in those cases, you can shovel then place it down to get a free 75-ish sun. its really not too important unless your doing a don't lose X plants level, at which point why the heck are you using holly.

@@Creeps20 maybe because big dum dum damage barrier (Really if you can afford those 5 losses and play a bit with the game shenanigans you can win the game easily

@@Creeps20 Why would sacrifice him after all its done for you :(

holly barrier is s tier

additionally if a healing aloe heals holly barrier they also get berries back but aloe only heals holly when its damaged so thats a thing

Well, he also praised Infi-nuts plant food.

Another one can be arguably sap-fling

@@Prototype09 Sap-fling is a gemium, though

No, Sapfling is bought with 100 gems during Christmas event.

@@thatonecabridog id consider it as premium still just a counterpart of it

@@peckypork Nope, 100 gems

I actually haven't played the game since last Beesmas, I unlocked that exclusive Blue Club thing and sort of fell off the game. I might go back and visit my bees later today.

yeaahh i have test realm theres alot of cool stuff the spotlight being robo bear and his challenges

digital bee is also coming in part 1 but you need a diamond cog amulet which is stupidly hard

Bee game moment

I LOVE ROBLOS RAFGH

Yeah, with jalapeño you can basically have 3 of such plants with the imitated plant + carrot

@@Redokev i don't think that would work because the plant needs to be *eaten* for you to revive it, good luck with getting a zombie to eat jalapeño.

Yeah Sweet Potato suffers from a rather lengthy recharge time so Intensive Carrot will basically act as an Imitater without paying 5 bucks.

I don't think it synnergises well with sun bean in vanilla due to it costing ONE HUNDRED SUN, twice the amount of a sun bean. It synnergises extremely well in mods where intensive carrot actually has a logical sun cost

@@KPoWasTaken Sun Bean at level 1 returns 300 sun, so it is still worth it Though yeah there definitely is some issue with getting 150 sun to be able to get out 2 Sun Beans (+ an attacking plant) in the early game

I assume there's some shenanigans with signed and unsigned integers at play here. Signed integers generally have one less bit than the full 2-power scale that number limits usually have (note that 64 is also a power of 2, and 63 is one less than that), and the left-most bit is instead used to denote the sign, with positive (0) or negative (1). I *suspect* that somehow, the integer was subtracted as a signed integer, which rolled it back to negative 0 (a weird concept, I know, but it technically exists in some versions of signed integers), which would be represented with 1 with 63 zeroes at the back, and then somehow got used as if it was an unsigned integer instead. I'm not *certain* this is what happened, but it would be one potential explanation? Either way, you'd have to mess up a lot of things to get this kind of result, but the result is funny.

@@tcxd1164 Huh yeah I just looked into signed integer representation and that seems to be it, since -0 would be a leading 1 with all zeroes afterwards which in unsigned integer notation would be 2^63. Thanks for the insight, that's pretty funny!

W-what are you talking about...

I think they might have patched and or fixed whatever was wrong, possibly inadvertently. I tried it with my own Holly barriers and they do zero damage, don't even make zombies flash white with damage like normal

@@tcxd1164 the other version of signed intergers is where the left most bit is equal to -2^(num_of_bits-1) for the example of a 64 bit integer, that would mean the left most bit would be worth -2^63 and how you would get the value -1 in this system, is by having all the bits set to on (with all positive bits set you have the the range of values 0 to 2^63-1 (which is equal to 2^63 positive values) and -2^63 to -1 which adds up to 2^64 unique values) this comment doesn't make to much sense but I'll post it anyways

this comment is so ahead of its time

Literally me

I use all 3 as well. I heavy stall the early game so that I can spam coconut cannons in the late game. I also have a high score of 53(so far) in pyramid of doom thanks to those 3.

if they can't get to you, you win

reflourished is just vanilla but better anyway so yeah, that's holly barrier on it's strongest form.

@@RenShinomiya121 350 sun for an endurian health Holly that throws endurian health walls with increased impact damage at the cost of less knockback (and I mean FAR less than vanilla) but thats okay because you more than make up for it in stalling potential I mean you cannot get better than that tbh

It could just as easily be a reference to O Holy Night lol

@@byeguyssry yeah that too

Lol

Except the updates actually add content instead of only cosmetics and bug fixes

theres nothing to talk about it, its so bad

goo pea is a very bad plant, its only good against heavily armored zombies, also the plant food is horse shit, you're usually way better off going with shadow pea if you have it

Me three

woah that's really interesting, I wonder what it was...

Was it reinforcemint, either that or aloe. If it shot on its own after use, it was reinforcemint.

So excited for beesmas
