    I only ever watched one video of his, over a decade ago, and it thoroughly convinced me he was a annoying arrogant dumbass. Stretched “the fingers on the oversized asbestos suit the tf2 pyro wears are even lengths, so therefore they’re a woman” into a 10 minute video.

    The one I hate the most is him putting a measurable size to a voxel in minecraft. Dumbest thing because it ment people can make dumb claims about the player being super strong based on pixels being based on a “specified measurement”. Nobody gives a rats ass about that and I swear the only reason people care/cared was because he did it.

    Putting weight and measurable size using real world units to a voxel in a sandbox game is just so dumb. There’s no actual way to confirm it because it’s literally just a bunch of pixels on a screen that form a square shape and can be stretched/narrowed depending on your monitor size when doing what 99.999% of people playing the game do: playing the game instead of rigorously analyzing the pixels on a texture sheet.

      im sorry, i have plenty of problems with matpatt, but i genuinly do not see a single harm being caused by what theory(s) u are describing here. matpat was at his best when he was being ridiculous, because the fun of him was stretching a minute question to its limits.

      if ur point is that people overuse these points in clickbait articles and videos? how is that matt’s fault exactly?

      how is saying minecraft character is strong bc they can lift or carry xyz weights based on xyz measurements harmful or bad? if u dont like it, curate what u see. i dont see a reason to hate this

      Nah bruv. Calculating out the volume of a dirt block and realizing a pleb would have little hope in the real world should’ve started LONG before that first block broke.

      Why are you still so stuck on realism?
