The transition from the thumbnail into the first video frame was crazy.
Thanks 😂
Wow too bad I got an add
@@Loaf-toast you may be able to see it if you’re using the app and hover over the video.
Overpowered in video games and seriously needs a fucking upgrade irl
I cant sleep, i go to bed at 3am 🥲
@@hardmodebonnie820 cuz sleep needs an upgrade
@@hardmodebonnie820 here’s the solution.
Upgrade the sleep mechanic.
@@hardmodebonnie820 your welcome! We all forget what we’re talking about sometimes :)
@@hardmodebonnie820 ayyyooo. Thank you sensei for the test
I shall now use this power… FOR EVIL!!! MUAHAHAHAHA
I was talking to my brother and he told me that he was practically addicted to hotels and went all the time, perhaps 30-50 times in the past year. I was so confused why he did that and how he afforded it, it's not like he's making six figures. Eventually I figured out that he was talking about Paper Mario and he meant he was going to Toad Houses.
The most overpowered aspect of sleep in video games is that characters can just go to sleep almost instantly without even trying. One of the biggest flaws with the human body is that falling asleep can't be done voluntarily, you have to lie down and hope your body decides to go to sleep.
Very relatable, I hate how I'd always just to be told "Just make yourslef sleep! Count sheep!" and etc as a kid by people who didn't understand this.
The most we can do is make ourselves comfortable and relaxed, and practice sleep hygine and etc alongside that have our bodies be comfortable that way and more easily let us sleep by themselves.
As someone following an actual sleep expert's instruction currently, it's so much more nuanced than anyone ever tried to teach me as a kid.
Don't forget the Sims, where it doesn't do anything except restore your energy bar. And if the energy bar runs out before you get to a bed, you just pass out on the floor until the bar refills a tiny amount.
It is a tiny bit useful in the sense that it can make the game fast-forward at a speed only possible when the sims are sleeping or at work. But that only works if every sim in the household is sleeping or working at the same time.
And that sleep can be interrupted if other needs run too low - for example, if the bladder meter gets too low, the Sim will wake up and run to the toilet.
sleeping is overpowered in fitness too
tell that to the education system
@@yololthepikminenjoyer BRUH MAN 💀💣💣💣💣💣💣💀💣💀💣💀
Oh yeah, for sure
I love kiro, i can never predict the topic of each video
you should also talk about the game of life.
the sleeping mechanics are really crazy. for example. it can improve your memory, driving skills, mental health, cure soreness and if you train yourself for the lucid dream method, you can basically go into creative mode, play around and practice for abilities for one whole hour. it's a shame the developers haven't implemented a multiplayer mode... at least... if it's not in the game....
How do you pump out so much good content so quickly 😂 love your format my guy
ME WHO SHOULD SLEEP
AND YET WATCHING THAT
Here’s a game I’m surprised wasn’t mentioned, Mario and Luigi dream team. While it’s mostly like the other titles, sometimes in the game you go to the dream world through Luigi. In this dream world in battles, you get only 1 turn instead of 2 but you’re also stronger due to how dreamy Luigi works. There’s also luigiary attacks where you attack with multiple Luigi’s. There’s also giant battles where Mario becomes the assistant and he needs to rest a few turns after u use him, and some areas where you mess with real Luigi and the dream world changes whenever you mess with him. Also the final Antasma fight and the final Bowser fights are cool.
I’m planning on making an rpg at some point and I think it would be a funny gag where the benches heal you all the way but the inns heal you by 1 point and the inn keeper say something like “what were you expecting a full heal? Go find a bench or something.”
2:30
i would argue that its because "design isn't canon", like you said, beds healing you is a gameplay benefit but that doesn't HAVE to mean that beds actually heal you in those canons
I'd say a neat case of sleep mechanics is in Don't Starve. As a survival game focused on difficulty it's not too forgiving with resources.
Your three main resources to manage is:
Health
If you get bonked, bit, burnt, etcetera, it decreases, hit zero and ya die.
Hunger
Goes down over time, eat food to restore it, food does spoil though, so plan ahead.
Sanity
Lowers in stressful or frightening situations, lower it gets and your life gets harder, like being hunted by shadow beasts.
Managing all three, among the other stuff like temperature and the night is tough.
Your character doesn't need to sleep, you can theoretically survive hundreds of days without sleeping. But, you can craft bed rolls and tents to sleep, skipping the night, recovering Health and Sanity, all for the price of some hunger. Although unlike your helpful crock-pots or chests they break after enough uses.
*Sleeping is a sacrifice you must consider well, is it a worthy investment?*
The most interesting part to me about this sleep is how it's taken away!
Wickerbottom is a character you unlock a bit late, she has a headstart with crafting recipes, higher max sanity and plenty of helpful tomes. If you can spare the materials her books are quite useful, such as speeding the growth of crops or putting creatures to sleep.
However, read the tomes or eat spoiled food and you lose sanity. All while dealing with the sanity damage everyone else needs to manage.
You might think to sleep but she has insomnia!
She can still be forced asleep by traps and attacks but she cannot sleep via bed rolls and tents. So you'll have to find other solutions to that problem.
Don't Starve uses realism quite well, it feels less like a chore and more like a challenge to solve. Sleep is simply another decently executed idea in a list of many and I think that's pretty cool!
Great Video! I was expecting this to transition smoothly into an ad-read about one of those online mattresses lol
Great video which really shows how much we take sleeping in video games for granted, and how making it make sense is basically an unexplored concept. The first game that adds depth to sleeping (in regards to healing) is going to feel very unique and get huge immersion points.
Mario & Luigi Dream Team is an entire game about sleep where you explore Luigi’s dreams.
Finally, a fan of dream team!
I love these sleeping moments in video games!
I really do love your channel so much. You inspired me to make videos of my own. And I do hope that I can be successful like you dude. I love your videos man. Hope more and more people find your channel. You deserve the recognition.
In Bully, sleeping is actually a need, you don't heal from sleeping as far as i remember, but you MUST sleep in time, otherwise you'll get tired over time. And you can only do it once in a day, but it's mandatory, and you'll pass out by 4AM
Groovy video.
You might like *Catalcysm: Dark Days Ahead* , which is a game which inspired project zomboid. Getting to sleep in that game can be a real struggle at times, and insomnia, drug withdrawals and pain from various sources can make it even more difficult. You can use sleep meds (or flu medicine) to get to sleep, but they have a slight addictive quality to them and getting addicted means you'll need to start relying on them to get to bed at a decent time. Sleep helps you heal and mend broken limbs, but at a level much closer to real life than most games. You won't walk off a broken bone in less than a week of proper sleep and nourishment (and you'll have to craft a splint, too!)
In the late-game your character can mutate into various human-animal hybrids due to radioactive exposure or by more hands-on means after delving through abandoned laboratories, and if you evolve fur or gills you'll have an easier time sleeping in the cold or even in the water respectively.
In Sea Of Stars, you'll only heal half your HP when you rest. So you heal the other half by eating the meals you cook, making you not hoard all your healing items as much.
love u kiro
I'm so glad you mentioned Project Zomboid, as it is just the antithesis of this video. Not only might you struggle to sleep, but sleeping is not a cure-all. It's a great game.
Watching this at night
Im so jealous that gaming characters dont sleep as long, yet have better sleep than i could ever want
Just want to throw it in the comments.
In Ice-pick lodge ‚game' „Knock-knock" there's plenty elements that builds around tennat's sleep issues. From beginning each stage with wakining up to only visible in the nights moving beds that oppose as an obstacle.
I like how sleeping does work in Stardew Valley and Monster Hunter. Though Monster Hunter is ridiculous for recovering health quick, saving make sense. Don't mind sleeping for leveling up too like in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Fallout 3/New Vegas after gaining enough EXP. One of the things I can think is interesting and different is a Minecraft mod that let you explore in a dream, and where MGS 3 has Snake dreaming about this Devil May Cry like segment. Definitely a lot could be explored. Ideal animation for sleeping can be charming like with Super Mario.
If you'll excuse me, I'mma go take a nap with Kirby, Bandana Dee and Elfilin
Great video Kiro! I was curious, do you record footage of all your games in the video yourself? If not, where are you sourcing them from? Seems like a ton of work to record all those clips of multiple games relative to what you’re talking yourself. If so, that’s awesome!
Implementing obstacles to going to sleep in a game like insomnia would make for a fun mechanic if implemented well. Maybe having to do a mini game while you sleep and messing up means you get a bad night's rest which mean not restoring to full health. Good night.
Kirk talks Kiro speaks now we need Kiro jabbers
All this talking about sleeping in dreams and he never mentioned how Kirby the most overpowered character in video game history has a sleepability that is completely useless. Not to mention Mario and Luigi dream Team.
Still this was actually a great idea for a video. Sleep is pretty overpowered in a lot of video games for sure
The kirby sleep does heal you in forgotten land if it’s the upgraded one. It also powers you up. :D
Oh yeah, how did I miss Dream Team?
@@kirotalksytit was pretty forgettable, who could blame you?
The part where you talk about insomnia was pretty interesting cause I'm making a RPG and the main character has insomnia and so far it's more a story related even and you had to do stuffs in the night Town before sleeping but i don't know how to do it in gameplay cause the game is inspired by Earthbound and Megaman Battle Network/Starforce
Some times when I sleep i wake up worse than before
i remember sleeping and when i woke up every video game boss (and enemy) came and attacked me and i beated them in 1 hit lol
Check out the sleep mechanic in kingdom come deliverance
Sleeping is indeed the best recovery in our lives. When it comes to video games, they’re consider the best in recover all of our injuries.
The minecraft trial chambers have beds in some rooms 😧
tried sleeping off a concussion now brain not work so good
I just woke up tired
1:46 I've never spent more than $100 on a hotel 😂
I think the easiest way to justify it is in game lore/in game canon sleeping doesn’t heal you like that. It’s not that deep imo
Monster Hunter had a buff that made it impossible to fall asleep. This was nice for enemies with sleep status effects, but the bed is the only unlimited healing resource you have in some games.
Gonna be real, i have NEVER used the bed in monster hunter (i have played 3u 4u world rise and generations ultimate)
Hi Kiro, here is a video idea: playing video games while inside a video game (GTA ARCADE games for example)
Before hunger was a thing. Minecraft Pocket Edition actually heals you fully when you sleep, it makes food optional.
That would be nice to do in real life
I'm surprised I haven't seen any comments about mario and luigi DREAM team (bros)
Only one of three on the thumbnail actually does what you’re describing
when do you get monetization?
Surprised you didnt mention fallout 3 and NV, you instantly heal all your limbs and body for free.
U forgot the ability insomnia in Pokémon
Could you please keep the warning screen on for a bit longer? It's not long enough to read to know if it will impact me/others. Thank you!
kiro…you’re…talking…is so…talk…
Public healthcare is op
Not in The Long Dark lol. You can die in your sleep
looks like he has never played Fallout: New Vegas
