Hi! Didn’t expect this video to get this much attention, but I’m not complaining LMAO If anyone’s interested, I cohost streams regularly on Nudge And Prod! Most of the content on his channel consists of playing through games for the first time, such as the entire Sonic series, Kingdom Hearts, Mega Man, and more! youtube.com/@nudgeandprod And of course, as I said in the description, credit to Thor for the footage in this video. His Animal Well playthrough is top notch, I highly recommend it! www.youtube.com/@PirateSoftware
This would be perfect for horror game. imagine you playing horror game. in a quite sequence of the game your printer suddenly turns on printing the ghost face
This happend kinda to me too I was in the room clicked the computer like 10 times. Nothing happens The next day I plug in my printer too print something AND IT STARTS PRINTING RABBITS and I had no idea why
THIS HAPPENED TO US! My partner was playing it in our bedroom and the next morning I got up and found it in the printer in the lounge room. I thought he had printed it but he asked me if I did. We tried to work it out and explain it away. We own a small tech company that does odd tech jobs around our very small town. We thought maybe someone we'd fix we'd fixed an ipad for was still connected to our wifi and accidentally printed something to our printer, but that made no sense because the person lives on a farm like 15 minutes away. So glad we finally have an explanation. 😂😂
Animal Well is genuinely my pick for game of the year. Genuinely one of the most unique games I’ve ever played. It has better puzzles than I’ve seen in a games that ever, super interesting gameplay mechanics with the disc and bubble wand, and an amount of secrets that actually cannot possibly be overstated.
Reminds me of that one PlayStation game that read your save files and had a character talk to you as if they knew you by mentioning your other games. Super cool
I had the privilege of meeting the creator of Animal Well (Billy) in person. This seems like an out of the box idea for a puzzle that he'd come up with lol. Rare to find people who possess both creative ideas and the technical know-how to implement them
I remember this, it was funny af when we found out it was the printer. 🤣 He spent so long trying to do the origami too, but somehow ended up getting a fox instead of a rabbit. 😂😂😂
Great to see the origami bunny experience caught on stream, lmao. I definitely do not have a printer at home, so I ended up solving the barcode grass puzzle.
Literally every program on your computer is allowed access to your printer. It's not personal information. It's identical to accessing your speakers, mouse, keyboard and monitor.
This supports my belief that all ghost stories have rational explanations The explanation may be such an uncommon occurrence as to be completely unpredictable (like I never would have guessed the footsteps were actually printed paper falling) but the explanation exists nonetheless Attributing it to “ghosts” is just what you do when you don’t have access to the full information. Your brain evolved to find patterns, of course some paper falling sounds more like footsteps than random noise!
1. Billy basso made the game, donkey is just the publisher 2. There's actually another way to get this bunny, if you squint really hard at a particular patch of grass.
I haven’t seen anything from Animal Well, but DAMN that is awesome to have in a game! I've never even seen something like this before. That 33mb statement made the realization hit much harder. I really gotta hop on this game bruh
dude... no... the _vector graphics_ are not bigger than 33 MB. I would be very surprised if the data for that is larger than 100 *K*B (edit: emphasized the wrong letter, B instead of K)
Ok, this is weird. I learned how to fold an oragami crane last night while watching an anime. Did a few. Never had I folded one in my life prior to last night.
To the geniuses in the comments: Most .exe files can access your printer. If you have an issue with a harmless puzzle being sent to your printer, I would suggest uninstalling every .exe on your pc.
The program needs to have the libraries included before it's compiled and there needs to be a block of code to specifically reference it. None of my exe's can access your printer because I didn't design them too. So if you have an issue with exe's doing unintended behaviors that aren't otherwise disclosed to the user, consider it malware and delete it. This isn't the year 2000 anymore mate, funny little viruses and worms like ILOVEYOU were barely funny back then and it's hardly funny now.
@@RihcterwilkerThat’s not their take. They’re saying that if you’re paranoid about what an application can access, don’t use the application. As a game dev, yes we can absolutely access damn near anything on your PC or WiFi network, including your IP, WiFi connections (printer), camera, etc. Any app that runs on your PC can do this, usually by executing powershell/cmd scripts or using a library that specifically queries your PC for data. Only certain countries, like the UK, require developers to disclose the info they collect about you when you install an application. Otherwise, it’s free real estate for most countries. Basically, if you’re afraid a game is going to mess with you, that fear can apply to literally any program you download, so you may as well not use any applications if you’re that worried.
@@catcactus1234 i know how most of it works, i'm a web developer. You may also know that privacy, accuracy, and property are sacred terms in programming. It's common sense for every responsible dev that he has a moral responsibility to not deceive the end user, or invade his space.
the game just reads your default printing device. browsers read all of your printing devices, the difference is they just have a confirmation prompt. Unless your issue is that non consensual printing should be illegal then no it's not illegal lol
Every executable u run has complete access to everything ur user can access, which is why u don't run things as a priviledged user unless u have to Of course there are laws against changing shit on someone's pc but it doesn't mean u can't do it
@@Jordan-qi2dn It's a piece of paper. If you're going to court over a piece of paper, you shouldn't be allowed near courts. And if this really bothers people that much, they could just flash it to a thumb drive and play at a library. They'll get a prompt to pay 10c per page before it goes through lol.

Besides the obvious 3rd example I do none of those things. You should stop asserting that your perspective is normal while everyone else is over-reacting.
Genuine question: what kind of malicious content would be worth setting up a virus to print? Like oh no, I now have a piece of paper with a suspicious link written on it
@@mothichorror446 I was thinking more of some psycho stuff. Some ppl will put creepy dark things in their games. And I don't just mean "oh it's a spooky game". Ps I wouldn't look this stuff up.
It's this consider a virus act? Program that gathering you computer information without alert user, and send data to printer protocol without permission.
It's just sending off a print job. It's a little weird Windows doesn't require extra permissions to do this. But any program you run on your computer could potentially do this. It's nothing id call malicious though. Your browser, Ms word etc doesn't require any extra permissions to do this
brother you are woefully ignorant as to how much access to your stuff ALL exe files have. if you are worried run everything on a virtual computer, otherwise it’s your fault for just being an idiot and not knowing basic information
A game that accesses my external devices that do not directly pertain to playing the game, uses my paper/Ink without my explicit consent, and randomly chooses said device based on what is detected first is not a game worth supporting; especially considering the rest of game does not imply that the there are aspects of the game that will do this. People get angry over developers accessing your files in games, but somehow excuse this game when it accesses your external devices. Double standard gamers with not a single cell in their brains.
You big mad at a little easter egg bro and it looks bad on you. This is not the same as accessing files on your computer, it's making you a present so you can step away from the screen for a few minutes. Essentially: Touch Grass.
@@Shywizz They never said it was any horror aspect that turned them away. It could've been the meta stuff - messing with your PC/other devices. And even if it is, not finding scary things actively entertaining doesn't make someone a wuss, not that that's something to be ashamed of either.
@@unknownguymandude2444 I don't doubt that, it's just I really don't like games that are essentially massive cryptic puzzles that are hilariously hard to solve without proper knowledge. It's FEZ all other again

@@hem9483 It doesn't waste it on a joke, what it prints is required to solve the puzzle. And at that, the puzzle is part of the "third layer" of the game and is completely optional to complete the game.
This puzzle actually has an alternate solution in case it doesn’t detect a printer. I didn’t play the game on console, but I imagine that you’d just have to do the alternate solution instead. (And fun fact, it’s almost as insane and creative as the normal solution LMAO)
