an a press is an a press. You can't say it's only a half

there is only one way to press A, but many ways to measure it

The meme was dead before it was even created anon

>>387925538
Why didn't he just call it a "Held A Press" instead of a "Half A Press?" I understand that he had to make new nomenclature but this term always seemed misnamed

>>387925881
Because then it wouldn't sound as ego stroking as saying you did something in one whole a press.
He did it in only half because 2/3rds of an A press i.e. Pressing the button down and holding it just before you enter a level somehow equals .5 of an A press.

>>387926186
I seriously hope you major in something cuz you seem to have too much free time to ramble about a specific A pressing topic in such a eloquent way

a bench press is a bench press. You can't say it's only a half.

>>387926453
However, a squat can sometimes be a half.

>>387925881
That way if another level also requires a half press, he can add them together to make 1. Or something.

>>387926186
To complete an a press, you need to press and release. He only pressed, which is halfway towards a complete a press ergo a "half a-press".

The "hold" in this equation is irrelevant to the overall action as whether it's instant or eternal it only completes or withholds the a press by it's existence or non-existence. Think of it like a 1 dimensional creature, it only exists as a concept because there is no way for something to have only length and no width. It can be as long as it wants (like a hold), but without the binary of width (release) it's only a figment of the imagination. So to say that it's 2/3 of an a press is wrong because the "2nd step" is imaginary. There is only the press, and release. Ergo, a press and hold is like 1 + 0, only the 1 actually matters for your result so the 0 can be safely dropped from the equation. Or to simplify:

Press > Hold > Release = Press > Release

To say that hold is a step is like adding a step for the movement of the finger before the release. It's not an actual step because it doesn't have an actual effect, it's just a motion you make with the interface device to get the actual result you want, which is binary. I don't actually care that much about the semantics but I don't want people believing this kind of misinformation.

>>387925881
You either round it up or down depending on the context, so .5 is the average.

>>387926451
He's wrong though. The half a press nomenclature is how the sm64 no a presses speed run community grew to understand snippets of gameplay on YouTube and explain it to each other and the audience. There's really no reason to call it "a held + 4 a presses" when you could just say 4.5 a presses which conotates that you held the button before you started the objective that's being shown ie go in a level

What the fuck does half of this shit even mean?
I beat this game as a kid and I feel like a complete moron looking at this.

>I beat this game as a kid
Exactly, you were playing the kid version of Mario, with full a-presses and single universes. You were on the skill floor, while he was painting the skill ceiling.

Why has no one actually bothered to make A press memes with Godot?

YOU wuz sayin

Over two years later, the TTC upwarp bounty has yet to be claimed.

>>387930036
Because he doesn't care about a fat plumber, he's only interested in arguing with Trite.

>>387930165
It was likely due to radiation from the sun, the chances of it being reproducible are astronomically low. God didn't intend for us to warp up TTC.

A dead meme is a dead meme, you can't pretend it's still funny

this meme is so reddit
