Was one of the TGM dudes French, or am I remembering wrong? It'd be rad to have some streams closer to my timezone.

Hype is funny in fighting games because its like you say it occasionally and you don't say it like a bad family guy sketch, also only the announcer says it, and the thing is they're actually hype as gently caress.

Also anyone else only catch the stream chat to catch the deeply rooted irony of people calling the players nerds.
When they are the ones who are spending nearly 8 hours of their day watching other nerds play games quickly and posting in a chat that no one reads or has an original idea in.

But then you go deeper and consider I'm skimming it on occasion, but then I see something stupid and just minimize both side bars.

Also they should tone it down on games that take over an hour and begin set up on an opposite set up within 5 minutes of time on the last game being streamed.

Anyone know what the speedrunning community's stance on emulation is? Are you instantly a scrublord if you don't play on the original console?

Depends on the game, most are fine with it if you use the right version of the game/emulator, but many tricks in, say, OoT work way better on the original console due to deadzone and such.

People are still at work at two timezones in North America, and those that aren't will filter back in now that Minish Cap is done.

It varies from sperg to sperg.

A lot of the time it seems to be "Emulation is great for practice, but you had better do your real runs on an actual console"

Unless I'm mistaken, tool-assisted speedrunning is mostly done on an emulator, if that floats your boat.

Depends on the game and emulator. Basically, if everything you do can be done on a real console with the same results, then whatever. But slowdown where a console would have none, odd visual or sound glitches, and of course anything that affects how the game plays are all factors that lead to people preferring consoles over emulation.

Streams/ races on SRL are fine with it. But SDA will not accept emulated runs.

Unless a game or an emulator has some terrible emulation or unfair advantage through emulation most people don't care. Lots of people at the very least practice poo poo on emulators for obvious ease of use reasons. You can even race most games on SRL on emulator with people not really caring although they'll probably want you to stream in that case so you can show you're not using speed up or savestates.

Official runs can't use them but livestreams are welcome to do so as far as I know. We have rejected a bunch of runs at SDA for being run on emulators even when fancy tricks/glitches weren't a factor.
