Can I beat Breath of the Wild BLINDFOLDED? (Great Plateau) 

Quick question, do u have clothing merch planned?

Hello crow

Hi pointcrow :D

I need a doodle hoodie

Blind folded no damage coming soon?

11:10 “victory would be within sight” no it’s not lol

I meant 31:10

😂

Lol

@@sethgratz5400 Just edit it

ur pfp is a blessing

@@LenoxVeleno Jimmy

AH. A fellow enlightened person.

look at his profile he is eating the games looks no huge tho

@@ericvandenavond8748 ye i know

Yes 😂

Yeah lol

Lol I’m imagining it rn

@@chillkillisded same

he had no idea King Rhoam Bospharamus Hyrule was right in front of him

I’ll make a point to post it on the PointCrow VOD channel this week! phenomenal stuff youre doing blindfolded, can’t wait to see what you’re working on next

huh

Just went to your channel and saw all your blindfold stuff, that’s amazing!

@@wolfwings1693 Thank you! I will be doing more games in the future!

Imagine zelda kissing the link, but link turns into a frog instead

It was the frog she made him eat in that one memory, the data got stored in his brain

@@caspersmith3922 was just thinking that

nah it just made him blind lol-

This is what happens when you give a frog the triforce of courage

Everyone has their own ways of processing and visualizing information. Point just used what was best for him

His technique is pretty common. But association is great for memorization. Colors and shapes I believe is a common method of association but it can be Pokémon for heaven sake! Like Archean period of earth history is named after the Pokémon Arceus and is when life first emerge. But it can be totally random with no real association. The letter “A” is red to me and also well behave, while “B” is blue and is a sassy bitch.

It also sounds like my man has synthesia. It's when your brain associates different sensory inputs with things that aren't usually put together. Colors and numbers is actually a fairly common one, especially those in STEM fields. Him mentioning "conceptually this color cause I couldn't find the right shade if I tried" matches what I've heard other people with Synthesia describe. It's really cool to see it utilized this way!

@@jtbrown7716 I think if you don’t naturally have it it is possible to train your brain to do it, same for photographic memory. I could be wrong though...

@@jtbrown7716 if he can't separate the two concepts, then yes, he probably has synesthesia

I was thinking that too (I have it) esp when he said he couldn’t describe the colors but they just have them

He also has grapheme color synesthesia! I have it too

Is that why I see math as red?

Sameee I have synesthesia also and I was thinking this while he was talking about it, I can especially relate to his concept of time.

Whats Spatial Sequence Synesthsis?

what have you done when you posted the comment

Same pat

The list he showed on stream made my brain hurt

Your name is literally almost patterns

Hi

Spongebob driving vibes

He's actually trying in this, in most of his videos he just looks at spaghettis link and "goes haha funny"

@@kathvg hah yes that one episode where he drove with a blindfold XD

😭

@@zawardo2229 yeah, Pointcrow is usually more content/fun , than skill focused, so this (what feels like) new tryhard mode from him is interesting to see. :)

I'm so confused with how he visualizes days, weeks, etc.

is it just simple association then? As in have as many cues on recall that can relate to the thing you're trying to remember so that at the time of recall you have a higher chance of remembering things?

​@@kariemelhanan8878 Kind of, yeah In the specific case of the deck of cards, one way to do this (or at least the way that I once learned to do this) is to break the cards up into blocks of 3 cards each, and tie each card in that block to a person, an event/action, and a place ("Elvis ordered drinks at the Bar" might translate to, say, king of spades/6 of clubs/4 of hearts), which would give you 17 scenarios to remember and leave you with one single card left over to keep track of on its own. It takes a fair bit of practice to get good with it, and Crow's color/shape strategy honestly sounds better if you can get the hang of it, but it's surprisingly easy once you get it down.

There's a book on this that I read a while ago on the concept of the "Memory Palace" (which is one of the techniques used like you're describing), called "Moonwalking with Einstein". It's a pretty neat read!

@@onlysmiles4949 dang when you break it down like these it sounds fairly simple but I know from experience that’s easier said than done. It sounds like grouping to minimize memory chucks + a mix of retrieval cues to corroborate info incase you don’t remember something. Crows way of doing it is sorta wild though

I have synesthesia and I thought everyone did this anyways. Granted, I'm not gonna be playing BotW blindfolded anytime soon

Omg i was thinking the same when this sentence came up lmao

Well when the cycle of peace and demise goes on and on for eternity, gotta try a different approach!

Irrecoverable irresponsible inconceivable irritated irrevocably

@@tarrare337 indubitably

That's called synesthesia, and I thought of that immediately too. It's a neurological thing so it can't be learned. That's what it sounds like he's using

@@noabinnendijk361 yes I thought of that. Though everyone does that at a certain level, right ? Not ar the same lvl but we all associates concepts i think. I was surprised by the days of the week described by Pointcrow though !

@@theblob7470 I mean everyone can associate concepts with colors, but with synesthesia it goes automatically without any effort or thought, or so I've read

@@noabinnendijk361 I mean I naturally associate numbers and letters w/ colours but nothing comparable to Pcrow. Synesthesia is pretty insane honestly. And yeah you’re right I’ve read that too

@@noabinnendijk361 I feel like I kinda have that but with music notes on a staff since I can't play by ear or have perfect pitch. Because I think of D as green, E as blue F# and F as yellow and so on. But I don't know if I've seen them colored as that in a piece of media or just made it up myself. But seeing G as purple definitely came from music class and playing with boomwhackers. But the A and C notes are definitely red in my mind.

When you have it, you don't realize that it's weird until you say something real casual and no one knows what you mean.

anyone has the timestamp?

@@c4tt0_ 10:37 its when he talks about how he memorized everything

@@jacobjenkins7362 looks like SOMEONE has synesthesia..

@@jacobjenkins7362 not relatable at all. You may have it too! Cool!

Really makes you apprectiate the sound design more

A way to get around that is prerecording the game play or reaction. Not saying he cheated just that thats a way around that that people have used.

@@selloutguylol I'm curious does that actually exist?

@@ytrewqfdsacxz3181 It does not, that's ridiculous

@@NA-wf2bq There are tons of times where it's clear he didn't do that

The way I would’ve cheated is had a text to speech bot read me the movements so I wouldn’t have to memorize it.

Stopppppp 😂

I was thinking the same thing. That has to be a type of synesthesia

Stop being bad then

@@gmdrandom6287 🗿

*unbads myself* oh I fixed it easy

@@gmdrandom6287 bruh imagine being so bad you tell others not to be like you

@@gmdrandom6287 dude wth is wrong with you

There are so many neat memorization tricks like the one Crow uses. Check out the one called Memory Palace or look up magicians explaining the methods they use to memorize card decks for certain tricks.

name checks out :p

😂

bruh what?

Haha same actually! Left is just blue, and it will be till I die 😂

@@Jo-dk9my no left is red

Nahh right is grey and left is orange. Does that make me have synesthesia?

That’s pretty cool imo !

Look into synesthesia! You probably have it :)

@@irisp5927 just looked into it and, while I can see how you could think that with my description, I do not perceive numbers and letters as inherently colored, but rather whenever I think of any concept, I subconsciously associate it with sensory stimulus, which is apparently a symptom of autism or something, which would make sense seeing as I've been diagnosed as autistic.

@@trueblueflare That still sounds like a form of synesthesia to me(auditory tactile and/or lexical gustatory is what I’m thinking but I could be wrong). Synesthesia just means that multiple senses or concepts are involuntarily linked in your head/body, and the most commonly known form is probably the one you found, which is ghrapheme color, but it’s definitely not the only one. You can be both autistic and have synesthesia(like me :D), and actually I think it’s fairly common if I remember right, which is why synesthesia or descriptions of synesthesia can be seen as a trait of autism. It’s pretty interesting to look into imo

@@KofiBeanie ah, okay, I only found the one result so I didn't know there were even multiple variations.

that's exactly what I though aswell. I doubt his explanation made any sense to anyone except him lol.

it sounds to me that he doesn't have it, but he like, induces it i guess? and he sort of has it.

Thanks God

God is blind confirmed

Wow very funny and original. Definitely not a copy-paste of a comment higher up. (I am actually serious this person is the first one

Yeah kind of. But people actually have beat the whole game like this. Now thats impressive.

Ba dum-tsssshhh

not entirely sure how well it would work for the boss fights as those are different everytime and you would have a hard time know where it is and getting there in time

That is by far the most frustrating part of a blindfolded run.

Not really, it seems that for Pointcrow it's easier to visualise numbers, for others it's easier just to remember numbers. Everyone has a different learning stategy, for me it's the easiest to remember things that create a logical sequence and (in best context) encloses for example it's very easy for me to remember the cycle of a red blood cell since it repeats and operates in an enclosed environment (single organism) and it influences other processes and it all works together (the reason why I study biology and maths lol) My mind works on sequences, Pointcrow's may work more on established ideas, someone else may memorise based on sentences and so on It's also fascinating how my main hobby is creative work (mostly digital art) even though it may seem as my brain is more analitical than creative, brains are crazy

It might be common among us with synesthesia, but trying to explain it to people who don't have it can be really frustrating. I have had people get mad when I bring it up, like I'm making it up. It makes me feel like I'm crazy sometimes. It really makes me feel less weird when I see someone else just casually say they have something like it

....I thought everyone had that train of thought? Interesting

Hahahaha the most abrupt ending ever love it

You are not the only one.

He has synesthesia. The sounds and numbers have "colors" associated with them. You can see them in your mind's eye. So for me, "i" is associated with white and "e" with green. The letter "t" is a yellow gold. The number 1 is white, while 0 is a sort of dark grey. 7 is a tan gold. Sounds also have colors. Brass instruments sound gold, but loud bangs are white, bubbly noises are sort of blue. Everyone is different and there are different types of synesthesia. Honestly, I didn't realize how weird it was until I was in college and I tried to explain that an orchestra piece sounded golden to some friends. They thought I was nuts lol

@@carlycrays2831 huh that’s really neat, thanks for taking the time to explain it. It’s wild how different our minds work

I understand what he's saying, as I think like that too. But I never thought of using at as what he is doing. It's actually really smart!
