My passive aggressive shilling for Microsoft has gone beyond weird obsession levels. I have no attachment to reality outside of my feelings for a plastic box. I should shut my fat fucking mouth and stop trying to do PR for a billion dollar corp

Did you know there's a big, well-funded market with a massive talent pool for AAA quality Christian-themed video games?








...what do you mean "making poo poo up?" These are clearly real hot games, here! Just look at Catechumen!

As a person who was in game evaluation for a publisher (the job being 'play games by other people and see if they were worth getting the rights to for redistribution'), I can safely say that most of these Christian-themed games are abominations. I had to play the first Left Behind game. :(

That's because patience is a virtue, peaches! Direct download purchase turnaround times of a minute or less are instant gratification, which is the Devil's province.

Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.

I would do this if I could run it on my computer. Windows 95 compatibility mode doesn't work.

I am super hype for the zoo race. Don't get me wrong. It's just that when someone "gets the WR" I feel like it means that they got it back from someone else.

e:vvvv Okay that makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up.

It's a fully DOS game, it should run OK in DosBOX.

It also ran OK in Windows 95/98, but that's because they had full DOS mode built-in, so on a modern PC it should just be extracted and run in DosBOX.

Looks like it should be right around the 3 hour mark of here. Unfortunately it keeps freezing for some reason so I can't get an exact time, but that's the end of the impossible run where I get to the Hall of Fame. It's my first time in a lot of the bonus rooms so I accidentally trigger the credits like 6 times so get ready to skip some chunks.

The Saga

Finally, I got a new any% Ufouria run I'm reasonably satisfied with - 37:40, meaning a full four minute improvement on my run from 2005. I can maybe push that by another fifteen or so seconds given a few missed jumps in this run, but I'm encoding it and will look over it and decide if I want to try again a bit before submitting. But I really only wanted to do a new any% run to get rid of my old lovely run on SDA, the category I really want to pour my effort into is 100%. Going to try to get a run of that recorded in due time so that I can submit both at the same time.

And then get back to recording Bionic Commando Rearmed any% and 100% attempts.

Managed to get a 2:45:57 in Secret of Mana. The game got super broken last weekend and the run is like 20 minutes shorter now. You skip every palace after Flammie and go straight to fighting the bosses in the Grand Palace.

Is sub 2:30 possible? How much time realistically can you save on your 2:45:57?

Cereth got a new WR in ffx NTSC by....6 seconds. In a 10 hour 40 odd minute single session run. I wonder if that even feels good. Better than 6 seconds slow I guess.

Ehhhh probably not unless new skips get discovered. I think the lowest I could maybe get is a 2:35:XX or something. My last run was pretty drat good except for two or three bosses.

I nominate the Catechumen sequel next, if you can find a copy. Or "find" a copy.

(That is actually a sequel, the Wikipedia page for Catechumen links to the developers which lists that as the only other game that they made, and it doesn't even have a Wiki page.)

I seriously think they sent you this game as punishment for making them do extra work with all the Zoo Race orders, Peaches. It wasn't a gift; it was revenge.

That said, you need to start the Hot Games Done Quick marathon.

It isn't even the WR, just his PB. The WR is another 10 or so minutes faster. Running a game of that length would be soul-crushing.
