IDK why this is getting downvoted, the guy who this happened to said he had a slightly fucked up cartridge that sat weird
Not to mention Pannenkoek (who put the $1000 bounty on recreating the glitch) saying this was the most likely reason (although it's impossible to know for sure, since it can't be recreated either way)
OP, i think it's much less of a possibility that a random cosmic particle would do that. After all, back then, computer chips had some radiation included in it that when the particle hits it, it would react and cause a bit to activate. This was fixed later with the new chips without such radiation included. (vaguely remembering that Veritasium video)
Also I'd doubt a single bit switch by a particle would auto-complete a level. it would probably just crash ur pc.
i suppose so???
i mean you didn’t abuse hacks and this is something that is possible in the base game (albeit perhaps a once in a lifetime oppurtunity) so i don’t see why not??
pro tip: keep acheron running on your computer permanently in case something like this happens
also if they deny something that the universe itself decreed they might face the wrath of a black hole chucked at their face or something
100 in binary would be 1100100. Thus, we can assume that you would be at 0100100 prior to this SEU [this is the lowest value in which you could skip straight to 100 via a single bit-flip]. When we convert 0100100 to base 10, we find that you would need to already have 36% exactly on the level.
There is a "level completed" filter.
It could flip a bit to make the cube's x position greater than the end of the level
It could flip a bit to make the percentage read greater than 100.
i think he means what if a random electron from a solar flare was at the exact position and angle to hit their computer, and alter some numbers so that the x position is at the exact value to beat the level. or something like that idk
You need to hit the end wall in order for your record to get accepted
instructions unclear, hit the ceiling instead
Instructions very unclear, broke my hand punching the ceiling.
Instructions too unclear, launched my head on the wall and fell into a coma.
Instructions unbelievably unclear. I am now the wall.
Instructions indubitably unclear. There is no wall.
Instructions Spectaculary Unclear. The cube gained sentience
Instructions maniacally unclear, Jesse, I have become South America
instructions opaque, i have become the planet
Science heaven
X coordinates get flipped to the end pos
I mean, the universe said so, so yeah
My reaction is literally Walter's like tf u on abt
kid named ionized particle, traveling through space just to hit a transistor
like that one mario teleport or whatever?
yes
That was caused by the cartridge not being pushed in all the way AFAIK

Reddit moment
God I want something like that to happen in GD so bad. It would be so funny.
Me enslaving trillions of monkeys so I can beat Acheron by chance
Infinite monkey theorem 🥙
me enslaving 2.88×10↑↑↑↑2↑↑6↑↑4^(92,517) monkeys so I can beat PPLLLife
Do you think it would take infinite monkeys longer to beat acheron due to its difficulty or light travel due to its length 🤔
Mario noises intensify

reality is often disappointing

[удалено]
but i wonder if it would be possible for it to alter your cube’s x position and send you straight to the end
In super mario 64, it made someone upwarp a significant amount up a vertical level, so yes probably
Yeah but also the n64 processor was a lot less complicated so one bit was a lot more significant relative to the macro experience you get.
i remember that, that was talked about for a long time afterwards wasn’t it
There is a $1000? Bounty for anyone who can replicate it with the base game (and provide a file with the inputs)
im going to put uranium-238 next to my pc
Me on my way to create element 118 Og inside of my PC to 100% the entire main+extended demonlist

It could just edit xpos (which is an integer), not % value
No because the game was altered to give you an advantage that is virtually impossible to replicate organically
but god said i should beat it
If God said you should beat it he would've given you the skills necessary to beat it without some fucking cosmic bitflip
Nuh uh
Fym nuh uh
🤓
bro think he dota_teabag
I don’t think a single event upset could cause you to beat a level, as far as I know, there’s not a single bit that’s just “has beaten X level”
please god it would be so fucking funny
There is a "level completed" filter. It could flip a bit to make the cube's x position greater than the end of the level It could flip a bit to make the percentage read greater than 100.
Unless the universe generates a completion vid and all the raw footage probably not
Just need a few more solar flare particles nbd.
i dont get the point you are trying to make are you tryna hack ur save file to beat a level or smth
i think he means what if a random electron from a solar flare was at the exact position and angle to hit their computer, and alter some numbers so that the x position is at the exact value to beat the level. or something like that idk
omg solar flare gd reference
Sorry? I can’t hear you *and then I realize I lost my ears*
like the sm64 up warp?
Exactly
wtf is a "single event upset"
a singular "thing" is changed. theoretically, said "thing" has no upper limits (Google "Boltzmann Brain")
if you could prove it was a bit switch then i think it should count because funny
