Nelson if you read this i wanted to say thank you! I can't believe i only found you today. This is by far the most creative stuff i saw someone doing to train memory and making it both fun and beneficial for learning. Thank you so much for making content like this i'll apply all the tips that i heard from you so far. The answer in progress video and the short film you guys made is already a life saver for my daily life! I honestly had almost reached a moment where i accepted my flaw that destroys my daily life. I can't remember appointments, i can't memorize basic math, i constantly forget medication that is a risk to my mental health, i forget deadlines, and social events i can't recall. This changed my perspective on what i know about memory! Thanks for giving me hope again!
Daaaaaaaamn, just mentioning among us changed the game for me. I know the ship’s map sorta by heart right now, and have enough familiar paths in it. That would make it a suuuuuuuuper easy memory palace. Thanks for the suggestion!
Oh nice! I had no idea you were doing this. I’ve been making a memory palace out of this game as well for the last couple weeks, in preparation for a 200 cube multi-blind attempt :)
@@NelsonDellis I've been streaming on twitch almost daily doing various things to prepare for it (including going through sm64 and explaining my process with making a bunch of rooms, like you did here). My channel is twitch.tv/sigalig. Planning for the attempt to be on January 2nd. Probably gonna be something like 5 hours of memorizing, 2 hours of solving.
@@NelsonDellis It's interesting, it seems like we have pretty drastically different ways of organizing the info that we're trying to memorize here. I'm trying to get the absolute most material out of this game as I can, so I'm planning to eventually use like every nook and cranny of the entire game, whereas with you, it seems like you're basically only using the 16 star speedrun route. But I think the kind of base structure of how I store the memo makes it so I store much less info into a given location than you do. In a nutshell, I use 3 loci for each cube. First loci is the first 3 edge letter pairs, second loci is the remainder of edges, third loci is all of corners. On average thats 20 letters memorized in every 3 loci. So far I've made enough loci in sm64 to memorize 40 cubes (so 120 loci) and I've got all of the upstairs castle and 12 stages left. So it seems like I could eventually have enough to memorize 150 cubes in all of sm64, if I do it right.
this was sick for the first part just memorizing to the door i could easily recall all the people and things much easier than if they were numbers. That’s an awesome technique
One of the first training exercises I did while listening to your book was to imagine myself walking through the map of Mirage in CSGO. I imagined myself walking around the map. I would imagine an animal, with an interesting article of clothing, performing an action in a bunch of spots I would normally expect an enemy to be hiding. As I worked through the map I came up with 26 spots and had it memorized completely after a second walk through. Really made me a believer in your techniques, unfortunately haven't made a conscious effort to practice more. I'm also trying to integrate your memory techniques in my job in the healthcare field. Thanks Nelson!
I watch a lot of sm64 and the tricks he was doing were not easy at all, bomb clip, mips, backwardsLBJ are all top speed running techs he was doing while memorizing his stuff. Absolutely insane
Wow. Really liked it :) Did it with Guild Wars 2. Used a fort in the World vs. World to memorize the hebrew and later the greek alphabet. I'm using the techniques mainly for studying. Right now I'm extending already established memory rooms :) With this I did expand a room of 80 places into 400. Goodbye shortage of memory palaces! This memory palace in a game reminds me of Mayarra from the Artofmemory Forum. She did a lot of memory palaces with video games (Star Wars, Fallout 4, etc.) Edit: fixed typos
I'm so glad this video was made! I've had this idea to use video games as mind palaces for a while now, (Batman Arkham series, DOOM, Luigi's Mansion, etc) because all the creative work is already done for you! I'm glad to see Nelson put the idea into practice here. Great job!
This is impressive and all, but ask me what I ate for breakfast yesterday and I'll get it right at least 3 times out of 10! For real though thanks for the great content! Keep it up!
Love the content! I'm trying to get started using memory palaces for my studies, but one nagging apprehension I have is that things will start to collide and get mixed up if I make dozens or even hundreds of these. Should I be worried about this, or is it non-issue in practice? What sorts of limits do practitioners tend to hit along these lines? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
You nailed it, since watching first season of Sherlock I fell in love with the idea of a memorypalace for myself and felt, that my favorite game of all times would do it justice. Currently I only have maped out the first Bob omb level with 40 marks but in the not too soon future I will map out the other 14 levels and the castle itself!
Great video, I have a question, I just finished creating my own pao list for numbers and I would like to start memorizing cards with this method, can I just use first 52 positions from my number list or could it have some nagative effect on my performance in memorising numbers or cards (or both). If that's the case would I be better if I just created brand new pao list for cards to avoid confusion?
Thanks Nelson! Inspiring idea. Are you gonna keep those numbers in this Mario palace for long or are you just using nulbers as a way to practice and get this space very familiar and later you will reuse it for things like language or some more useful information?
How do you deal with objects that are modifiers to the person themselves? Like "blue hair" and "venom tongue". Do you imagine the person performing the action on that particular body part, or do you just imagine that the person who is doing the action simply has that attribute?
I'm no memory expert, but perhaps you could use a song you know really well as a memory palace? Think through the lyrics or how the song sounds and leave the ideas of the things you want to memorize at various points like the intro, verses, choruses, etc Just an idea
Super interesting map. The project since March of creating sm64 maps is good. Graham, the current MBLD WR holder, recently created 40+ rooms using the sm64 map. There are lot of rooms possible in this game map. Yo, M' U S' U' S M U M' U' M
What other video games would you like to see me make memory palaces out of??
Sherlock Holmes games?
GTA vice City
@@patrickjane7796 nice idea
Can you check the Art of Memory Forum I sent you a comment there,
And,
Have a Good Day.

Hey dude! I’ve been subscribed to your channel for a while. Love your stuff! Cool! Where can I watch the attempt?
It would be fun to compare our locations haha

I’m disabled and want to use memory palace for quotes, to help me cope that I can go to anytime. Thank you Nelson for your channel.

UPDATE: just started making memory palaces out of Skyrim! I've started with the village of Ivarstead!
Amazing as usual brother. So very proud of the person you are.
I've got your book "Remember it" making it's way to me soon. Can't wait to read it Nelson.
Nelson, you are a hero brotha. Thanks for the epic content, hope you eat so much your stomach hurts and you gotta have an after dinner nap.
Cheers Nelson. Love your work. Really helps me
This video was COOL AF!! You're an inspiration!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Nelson!!!! Thanks for the memory????

Graham Siggins is using a SM64 memory palace to solve 200 Rubik's cubes blindfolded next week.
Cool
Is he streaming it anywhere?
This is so weird, my memory palace has always been the mario 64 castle before I even knew this video existed.
Thanks Nelson! Inspiring idea. Are you gonna keep those numbers in this Mario palace for long or are you just using nulbers as a way to practice and get this space very familiar and later you will reuse it for things like language or some more useful information?
5000 hours on gmod maps time to get back that time making memory palace. I know near 70 maps i think
Wish I’d kept my N64 system 🤦🏻♂️
Another great video Nelson 👍🏻👍🏻
WOW sounds awesome,sir next time memorise history subject or any other subject .It would be much fun for the viewers.thanks sir
My brain hurts, I love it.
How do you deal with objects that are modifiers to the person themselves? Like "blue hair" and "venom tongue". Do you imagine the person performing the action on that particular body part, or do you just imagine that the person who is doing the action simply has that attribute?
How did you select the people corresponding with each 3-digit sequence?
sir, you are multitalented
now we need a machine learning model to train a bot to play this game
could make a memory palace with a map from xcom enemy within?
cool video! do you think you'd be able to do this with a pokèmon map?
2:58 wouldn't placing images and imagining the palace be mainly for visual thinkers? Are there equivalents for people that think in words or emotions?
I'm no memory expert, but perhaps you could use a song you know really well as a memory palace? Think through the lyrics or how the song sounds and leave the ideas of the things you want to memorize at various points like the intro, verses, choruses, etc
Just an idea
Any of the Final Fantasy games would offer a lot of space for multiple memory palaces...
I feel like it would be cool to learn all the pokemon by Pokedex number and use pokemon to build a memory palace
How? Please shear technology
Super interesting map. The project since March of creating sm64 maps is good. Graham, the current MBLD WR holder, recently created 40+ rooms using the sm64 map. There are lot of rooms possible in this game map.
Yo, M' U S' U' S M U M' U' M
Cool! Is there a video about it?
@@NelsonDellis It is in the VODs of Graham's Twitch.
Is that unnoficial pc port?
PlZ make video on random word memorize
Doom!!
Who agree that The Last of Us work very well with this?? 😅
