==History==
=== Early Beginnings on YouTube ===
64ify signed up for YouTube on a channel he doesn't have access to anymore. Most of the content on the channel was mostly on Five Nights At Freddy'shttps://youtu.be/t6jYTn0tf90 and Thomas & Friends. Until March of 2017, he had stopped uploading on the channel, due to his phone charger not properly working, which caused him to lose access to the channel. In 2017, he made a new channel called SuperMarioLogansTwin. He didn't post much on the channel except comment on Roblox related videos until it was later deleted sometime in mid-2018. Then on that year, he created a new second channel called Bootleg Plush.https://www.youtube.com/c/BootlegPlushVideos On the channel, he made plush videos heavily inspired by SuperMarioLogan, The Cute Mario Bros, and EpicMarioBros with his brother. In 2019, he rebranded his channel to just "Bootleg". 
==== Starting Super Mario 64 Machinima ====
Later in the same year, he made his first Super Mario 64 Machinima in October,https://web.archive.org/web/20191019144959/https://twitter.com/teamtoad64/status/1185327692222271488 permanently quitting plush videos after making it. He later changed the channel name to "Bootleg Kid 64"https://www.youtube.com/@bootlegkid2500https://youtu.be/cTtch9qPH9o?si=YsEfxtduV5ESzoF6 right after.
==== SM64 Rewind ====
On December 6th, 64ify made a "Top 10 Best SM64 Machinimists of 2019" list on Twitter.https://web.archive.org/web/20191207055834/https://twitter.com/BootlegKid64/status/1203168413260140544 He made it for a video he was planning to make called "SM64 Rewind". It was criticized for it having SMG4 as most didn't consider him a machinimist and for having himself in it. Some came to his defense as he was still a kid at the time.https://twitter.com/ZenonDeinon/status/1203457602534944776https://twitter.com/sm64mg1/status/1203738737752104961 After this situation died down, he kept making machinimas until the channel's deletion in January of 2020. 
==== Weegeeify and 12thScreams ====
During January, he left the SM64 Community and then made a meme Twitter account called "Weegeeify" in the same month.https://web.archive.org/web/20200113203430/https://twitter.com/weegeeify/status/1215076357866024961 It was mainly a shitpost account and he would reply to Roblox and meme accounts with a random meme or just said something that sounded funny.https://web.archive.org/web/20200114191600/https://twitter.com/weegeeify/status/1215082567814303744https://web.archive.org/web/20200114003813/https://twitter.com/weegeeify/status/1215081695562674176https://web.archive.org/web/20200114152458/https://twitter.com/weegeeify/status/1215398538940768256https://web.archive.org/web/20200115000409/https://twitter.com/weegeeify/status/1216030836920897538 He would also sometimes make a tweet with hashtag that was trending on twitter that would include something that he also thought sounded funny.https://web.archive.org/web/20200116062942/https://twitter.com/weegeeify/status/1215988792412209154https://web.archive.org/web/20200117162305/https://twitter.com/weegeeify/status/1215846424857935879https://web.archive.org/web/20200116101330/https://twitter.com/weegeeify/status/1217630490657726464 64ify would slowly return to the SM64 Machinima community as he was replying to people from that community.https://web.archive.org/web/20200119035453/https://twitter.com/weegeeify/status/1218345029036576768https://web.archive.org/web/20200119124444/https://twitter.com/weegeeify/status/1218344205057232897 The twitter account would be suspended in January in the same month of its creation for unknown reasons.I don't remember why it got suspended lol - 64ify 
He would then create a new twitter account with the same name just the handle being "Weeegeeify".https://twitter.com/Weeegeeify/status During this time, he created a gimmick account named "Placed12th Screams" on January 18, 2020.https://web.archive.org/web/20200119061828/https://twitter.com/12thScreams/status/1218762410435235840https://web.archive.org/web/20200120193710/https://twitter.com/Weeegeeify/status/1219323870328623104https://web.archive.org/web/20200119180241/https://twitter.com/12thScreams/status/1218913009462075392 The account is based off a clip made by animator Mayo.https://youtu.be/rECdagNLzcs?si=4ZRKes3E-SIh3IjS&t=37https://web.archive.org/web/20200119163450/https://twitter.com/12thScreams/status/1218922313984479232https://web.archive.org/web/20200119163450/https://twitter.com/12thScreams/status/1218922313984479232 The next day, 64ify made a tweet saying if this tweet would get 50 retweets Mayo would have to follow his 12thScreams account.https://web.archive.org/web/20200120154613/https://twitter.com/12thScreams/status/1218911554646740992 After hitting the goal, he later followed the account. On January 20th, the account was later deactivated due to 64ify not being able to handle an account with that many followers, which were in the hundreds.https://web.archive.org/web/20200121000734/https://twitter.com/Weeegeeify/status/1219410568962084867 After the deactivation, he continued to be active on his Weegeeify account until it was later deactivated.
=== Roblox ===
In February of 2020, he decided to start making Roblox content as the alias "XB351".https://twitter.com/nate_noodle/status/1237908687370334211https://twitter.com/search?q=xb351tweets&src=typed_query&f=livehttps://www.roblox.com/users/334063114/profilehttps://youtu.be/CPiQdbT8BRc?si=z2vsKHirmKMGWzf6 In February, he made a Twitter account with the namehttps://web.archive.org/web/*/https://twitter.com/XB351_/status* and would post drawings of Roblox avatarshttps://web.archive.org/web/20200208234132/https://twitter.com/XB351_/status/1226269472215965696https://web.archive.org/web/20200215025524/https://twitter.com/XB351_/status/1228511783083749377https://web.archive.org/web/20200229182728/https://twitter.com/XB351Tweets/status/1233812257445945344 and sometimes OCshttps://web.archive.org/web/20200209005550/https://twitter.com/XB351_/status/1226295608895512577https://web.archive.org/web/20200209010241/https://twitter.com/XB351_/status/1226267242989527041 on twitter. Later in February, he made a YouTube channel with the same name. On it, he would make commentary/review type videos on Roblox games or people. The videos were mostly inspired by Epikrika, Twikipedia, and Paze. For a while, he remained active on both his XB351 Twitter and YouTube channel, until later deleting and deactivating both accounts, leading to the creation of the new alias called "Stafftastic" in March. He was still talking abouthttps://web.archive.org/web/20200408214410/https://twitter.com/Stafftaastic/status/1248003319118860289https://web.archive.org/web/20200408005729/https://twitter.com/Stafftaastic/status/1247689749227286529 Roblox and making content out of it on his new YouTube channelhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuxoR5NTAiHdOs0f2s2cs-Q and Twitter.https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://twitter.com/Stafftastic_/status*https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://twitter.com/Stafftaastic/status* During March, the 12thScreams account would later be reactivated and return to activity on the 4th but was short lived.https://web.archive.org/web/20200305002529/https://twitter.com/12thScreams/status/1235358374369415169https://web.archive.org/web/20200305014603/https://twitter.com/12thScreams/status/1235372856030244867 Before this, a schedule was made.https://web.archive.org/web/20200305012017/https://twitter.com/12thScreams/status/1235367954407206915 On April 12th, the email connected to the Stafftastic channel had its password changed, presumably getting password guessed,https://web.archive.org/web/20200412180808/https://twitter.com/Stafftaastic/status/1249389129584041986 leading him to make a new channel.https://web.archive.org/web/20200412182214/https://twitter.com/Stafftaastic/status/1249401765256183812 He continued to make Roblox content on both YouTube and Twitter until quitting making Roblox stuff in the same month.
=== Return to the Super Mario 64 Machinima community ===
In May of 2020, he created a third new channel and Twitter account with another new alias named "Gampyz".https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUBqFe2hIy5wAvnwmZSKqzwhttps://youtu.be/pERBZrW1kQA?si=bqWfN2An0mFTMg45 On the channel, he made commentary videos about the SM64 Machinima community, most of it was on certain dramas happening within it. He still was able to make machinimas on the channel regardless. On his Twitter account, he would occasionally tweet SM64 meme related videos, pictures, and tweets. He also talked about drama in the Splatoon and SM64 Machinima communityhttps://web.archive.org/web/20200518201100/https://twitter.com/gampyz/status/1262473651959541767https://web.archive.org/web/20200518203239/https://twitter.com/gampyz/status/1262480819874119684 on there too.
==== Content Cop 64 ====
64ify created a short-lived series called "Content Cop 64", inspired by Idubbbz' series with the same name but with a "64" at the end added.https://web.archive.org/web/20200516163716/https://twitter.com/gampyz/status/1261695608257228801https://web.archive.org/web/20200516151131/https://twitter.com/gampyz/status/1261675424704331776https://web.archive.org/web/20200516202406/https://twitter.com/gampyz/status/1261752841141714944 Only 3 videos from the series were made and ended on the third video on May 16th due to a calling out by someone in the machinima community, commenting on the 3rd Content Cop 64 video criticizing it for invading the privacy of the person being talked about in the video which were said by the guest in it.https://web.archive.org/web/20200517054448/https://twitter.com/gampyz/status/1261894779106926593 It was later deleted by 64ify and on the same day apologized for making the video and said he was going to continue making machinimas from now on.https://web.archive.org/web/20200516201841/https://twitter.com/gampyz/status/1261751912816422912 Content Cop 64 never returned after this and a few days after changed his alias once again to "Camptendo".https://web.archive.org/web/20200522033937/https://twitter.com/Camptendo/status/1263670688147288064https://web.archive.org/web/20200523220127/https://twitter.com/Camptendo/status/1264255329078042624https://web.archive.org/web/20200523223458/https://twitter.com/Camptendo/status/1264293799121104896
=== Continuation of Super Mario 64 content ===
3 days after the creation of the "Camptendo" alias, he changed it after getting told by Bugtendo it was similar to his name. 64ify then later changed his name to what it now is today.https://web.archive.org/web/20200525224330/https://twitter.com/64ify/status/1265026279486750720 Due to a fallout with sm64rise in July,https://youtu.be/H7CtmiYyzUA?si=gEWQJBIQcCbI3EKI he changed his name again in August of 2020 and made a YouTube channel/Twitter account with the name "Betatastic"https://twitter.com/search?q=betatastic&src=typed_queryhttps://web.archive.org/web/*/http://twitter.com/betatastic/status* when he moved to the SM64 Beta community. The YouTube channel was then deleted, as he wanted to stick to being on Twitter, uploading memes relating to SM64 and it's beta.https://web.archive.org/web/20200805210547/https://twitter.com/betatastic/status/1291118085638889476https://web.archive.org/web/20200806215346/https://twitter.com/betatastic/status/1291492589439528962https://web.archive.org/web/20200807160855/https://twitter.com/betatastic/status/1291768029320286208 He then changed his name to "Mavivo" at one point during the time he was on Twitter.https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://twitter.com/Mavivo64/status*https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://twitter.com/maviivo/status* 
In the beginning of September, he made a SM64 beta hack called "Pre64".https://video-game-beta-remakes.fandom.com/wiki/Pre64?oldid=305https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_iIFK_k9KA&t=1s It attempts to recreate the E3 build of Super Mario 64.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vs2d5xPC6hk The hack was sometime cancelled in the same month.

He then decided to move to the Henry Stickmin fandom, going by "Kucaus"https://twitter.com/search?q=kucaus&src=typed_query&f=tophttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRLVUS1psXcJtGjrvKMUWqghttps://twitter.com/notsureman__/status/1337974304269606912https://www.bitview.net/user/kucaushttps://web.archive.org/web/20201016171602/https://twitter.com/kucaus/status/1317152236129177605 until leaving it in the beginning of December, which caused him to make a new channel with the name "64ify" and come back to making SM64 content once again on December 16, 2020.https://web.archive.org/web/20201217235459/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRytwSvro8H0GoI-jL6g6cQ For most of 2021, 64ify continued to make Super Mario 64 videos.
==== False copyright strikes ====
Near the end of 2021, he got sent a strike on a expose video he made on a infamous person known in the SM64 community for doing many horrible things.https://imgur.com/a/G8RVIPphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xK4nkRvT4b4https://web.archive.org/web/20211201204617/https://twitter.com/64ify/status/1465445448299208714https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Bonmariohttps://web.archive.org/web/20211202060326/https://twitter.com/64ify/status/1465808275694362626 The strike was later removed the same day he made a tweet about it.
