    Hey everyone, thanks for stopping by today!
    I just wanted to give y'all a quick note. I wanna apologize for how late this video is, life (and finals) just got in the way. But I owe you another apology for these iceberg videos- even though I said more deep dives are on the way in this vid, I think that won't be the case for a little while. First off, while making this video I lost a couple of entries, so I gotta apologize for that. But second, I've come to feel that my iceberg content isn't cutting it anymore. I feel that I'm basically presenting a glorified ChatGPT response to iceberg entries- I think I owe you guys better content. That said, unless they're heavily advocated for in the discord server, from now on I want to focus on more creative video essay type content. I hope you all can understand, and even if the transition is a bit rough, I promise I will still be putting effort in to give you guys a fun time! Thanks for understanding.
    Keep on seedin,

The poems are an example, they contain all three systems. Other than that (and some minor pronunciation issues, but honestly it's hard to find a youtuber who pronounces everything correctly anyway), great video!

      Yeah I first heard of it in 2010 and at that time it was already a known thing among people who were really into weird Japanese indie games. Having a presence on youtube spread it to a larger audience, but there was a let's play I saw that, even back then, the guy was linking to scanned copies of the journal and maps and all sorts of other stuff.
      I just think it's really bizarre that this dude is reading off a wiki cobbled together with the combined knowledge of years of committed fan investigations and then turns around and says that an album cover featuring a literal screenshot of the game is somehow shocking that it references LSD because it's from "a few years ago." I mean even Vinny streamed this 7 years ago, and that's about as mainstream as you can get for weird games in what passes as some form of "monoculture" post-internet.

      @@_HimToo I think by that they mean that alot of American theorists are not highly familiar with Japanese culture outside of what has been brought over through foreign media like shows and movies, leaving them "out of their depth" when it comes to making assertions about symbolism and meanings. The red and green thing is a great example honestly, in our cultural context red is bad and green is good whereas in Japanese culture it has an inverse meaning, which many Americans aren't closely aware of. Due to this gap in culture and meaning, we oftentimes can't make completely accurate theories and presumptions without a proper understanding of the cultural context present, leaving us "out of our depth."

      @WK-47 5 місяців тому +8

      @@slushiebonez well put, and just one reason why the idea that the title is specifically referring to the drug and nothing else is silly. Japan has a very different drug culture to that of the US/West, where we strongly associate trippy visuals and psychedelia in general with LSD, the '60s, and the hippie movement.
      Colour psychology is interesting, though, because there seems to be some consistency across cultural boundaries. Red = blood/violence/passion and green = nature pretty universally. On top of that, in the West red is also associated with communism for instance, while in China it's been the colour of royalty much longer, but then in Europe purple has historically had that role.
      It's basic critical analysis to factor in cultural context along with anything else, just as you suggest. There's no reason to think popular Japanese perspectives on Western media would be any less uninformed if they also didn't analyze it in context.

    LSD Dream Emulator is my favorite surreal game I've ever played.

To this day I still have memorized different locations and where you'd be teleported to. Honestly, I bet I could speedrun the game if I would try, but of course I would have to take a couple hours free to do so.

    Great video! Although a little game development insight about the entry around 1:12:00, this is how RNG works most of the time in video games. That's why RNG manipulation in speedrunning works. In Pokemon, for example, some of the RNG is governed by the amount of steps you take. In Kingdom Hearts 2, the pattern of your attacks dictates some RNG. It's not that there's literally a random number generator running in the background, games use variables attached to your actions to generate an output to create functional randomness.

    Yeah the devs definitely weren’t taking drugs, as Japan is miles more strict about drug use than the West. People caught taking drugs often commit suicide. Video game voice actors who have been caught smoking weed are punished by having their roles re-recorded by other actors and all credits are stripped from them. Any famous person using drugs is shamed and essentially forced out of a job and home, they will never work again anywhere except convenience stores. The studio would not have allowed any drug use in the making of this game, and drugs are insanely hard to come by in Japan, especially something like LSD as opposed to weed and stimulants. I don’t doubt maybe ONE person took LSD and then used the experience to inform the game, but they certainly weren’t taking drugs while making the game or anywhere near it. In Japan they even use hair testing because your hair will contain chemical traces of drugs for months and months after. It’s honestly super unfair how people are treated and even people who take ADHD meds are treated poorly because it’s a controlled substance. They do have incredibly low drug addiction and drug abuse rates though so maybe it’s not the worst thing

    I'm glad you mentioned the obvious similarity between the hatman and the spy, but it sorta seemed mischaracterized. The hatman isn't a cryptid, and there's no reason to think any inspiration is drawn from LSD:DE. The hatman is just a shadow person, which is a known deliriant hallucination, and it's only noteworthy because multiple people have seen a shadow person with a similar appearance. It's more likely that both the spy and hatman draw from the same thing, rather than one inspiring or influencing the other.

  • @brazilian_oak
    @brazilian_oak 5 місяців тому +56

    47:33 Ooh, I do understand how these things work! It's not about putting data on the inside or outside of a disc, it's about layout optimization.
    Disc drives (used to, at least) buffer data instead of reading directly to memory. The "why" isn't relevant here, just keep in mind that it happens. This means that the drive can't just read stuff at blazing speeds and give it to whoever asked for it: it has to read a sequence, buffer that to its' own memory, wait for whoever asked for the data to consume it, empty the buffer, and then repeat. This takes time, and by the time the drive is ready to do this entire thing again, the position of the data it needs to read might have shifted far from where the laser actually is. So the drive needs to wait (and maybe move the laser as well) for the disc to spin to the position where it can read stuff again, and only then it can do it.
    So, instead of plastering a loading screen every time the game has to load stuff, some data can be laid out optimally to minimize (or even eliminate) loading times!
    Where do the dummy files come in? Well, you can't just leave blank spots on the disc; whatever drive or software that can read the disc could get confused, or some maliciously inclined people could use the empty space to do bad stuff... developers just generated random sequences of data, concatenated them onto a file, and disc writers took those "dummy" files into consideration and interleaved them with the real files of the game.
    Some devs didn't want (or didn't care) to generate data for those dummy files, which is how we get the South Park pilot episode on a Tiger Woods game disc, and this image on LSD.

    I'm glad this now receives more of the attention it deserves. 15 years ago, let's just say it was unusual to come across mention of it online, even in gaming circles, and you could pick up a copy for the low, low price of $300 from a guy who had his copy listed for years with no buyers. Anyway, Sato is easily one of the most unique and underappreciated contemporary artists, and a personal fave. One of the best eras for the industry, when other pioneers were just trying to make good games, then this madlad saw the PS1 and thought yeah, this'll do nicely for an interactive art project.
    Just to be that guy, some minor corrections/contributions...
    - Sato is pronounced roughly like "SAH-toh" (on the side, "leitmotif" is pronounced with the primary stress on the final syllable, as in "motif")
    - "Lucy in the Sky with Dynamites" is a reference to the Beatles song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", which interestingly also caused people to suspect the title made direct reference to the drug, though unlike with Sato/DE it's been explicitly confirmed by the artist to be purely coincidental, which is fair when you consider the phrase supposedly came from the description one of the Beatles' children gave for a drawing they made (might have some of these details mistaken, but I'm 90% sure)
    - I don't know if Sato worked directly with alt-J, but I know they've at least met cos there's a photo of the band posing with him, presumably from when they toured Japan. TBF, the art used is something anyone with a pirated emulator copy or just running Revamped could source pretty easily, the web game would've been made by a contract company that pulled assets from the same game files, and Sato is a busy man.
    About the title, I think the fact that (a) LSD:DE, as with (b) the Beatles song, shares an ambiguous acronym with the drug is something the artist was well aware of in each case. As seems to be the case with (a) Sato coming up with the name, perhaps realizing D can stand for "dream" and L/S for many different things, while (b) the Beatles encountered it by chance, again originating from one band member's child. I believe both artists knew many people would dismiss it as a crude reference to the drug, (a) cos "muh trippy visuals" as the cliche goes with LSD:DE, (b) cos we all know the Beatles dropped acid even if Sato didn't.
    Point being, in either case it's plausible that the resulting acronym is just a convenient coincidence, except Sato chose to run with it, presumably cos it's indeed more remarkable and memorable than simply "Dream Emulator". Think about it - just like LSD:DE itself, as with the phases seen in some of the so-called cutscenes, the title can be interpreted in multiple ways, whether simultaneously or varying and iterating on itself depending on a specific aspect of the work.
    So, yeah, thanks for putting this together. If I didn't already give it away, I'm kinda into this thing.

    I'm all for alternative pronunciation of words, but in case you want to pronounce things the way most people do:
    kanji = kahn-jee
    geisha = gay-shah
    *bonus just in case*
    manga = mahn-gah
    pretty much the only word I can think of that's pronounced entirely differently from its Japanese origin is 'anime'.

    I have absolutely no clue what you're talking about when you say things like "peak of popularity." LSD is a niche thing but it has been a very well regarded and known thing within that niche for a long time, and has had a strong cult following in the west since, at the very least, 2010 or so. It is NOT an unknown quantity, it's a very specific quantity, but the sheer volume of investigation into this game that you're, y'know, writing this script using, is the product of many many years of people staring into LSD's abyss, it did not magically pop up over night less than "a few years ago." This is a game from the late 90's we're talking about here, not some brand new fad indie darling. It's an old game with history and an established following. Your personal experience with it does not account for the entire rest of the English speaking world's experience with it.

    Ya know, there'sone distinct thing I consistently see people overlook or even not know.|
    There are tunnels that directly link between locations that you can walk through, like physical connections between areas. Not through the linking mechanic. One such tunnel is outside the brightmoon cottage, which directly links to the natural world. You can even go through the tunnel to return back to brightmoon.
    There's a tunnel to kyoto, a tunnel to the violence district, and a few other tunnels as well. Theorizing that the Violence District is that sunken town sorta falls apart when you discover that tunnel.

Just goes to like remind us that creators are human and have lives and energy limits and needs and all that. good stuff

    I disagree that the notion that objects move through dreams indicates that the dreams are real. I think that perspective contradicts everything that's implied about the game, and isn't necessarily what's being said. Maybe objects simply appear in multiple dreams or locations, without having to be actual existing entities outside of dreams
