    I watch like 80% of that video when it showed up on my feed the other day before I realized I never even played SM64 (I had a SNES and then Playstation, never N64), and I really don’t care about it that much. It was interesting enough to keep me that long though, so it’s a good video.

      Pannenkoek is a god when it comes to SM64 and its quirks. He teamed up with a streamer to make SM64 crash due to a float to signed integer conversion. They theorized the idea and used a real console on normal speed and timed it, so the crash would happen precisely at New Year’s 2023. Performing this particular crash takes 39 days, 14 hours and about 52 minutes.

      He explained everything in this vid:
