At the end of the Castlevania block, after Dracula X. Currently scheduled for 2:30ish, will probably be closer to 3.

falling down
Just a friendly reminder to try and catch the Dustforce DX run later today.

The category is SS all levels this time around, which is a much, much different run to the any% runs in previous years.
Perfect ranks are required on all levels, which means clearing each level collecting all dust without dropping combo (getting hit, falling, going too slow). Importantly, no in level checkpoints can be used so all levels have to be one shot.

The very first showing that dustforce had at a gdq was an attempt at SS all levels, estimated at 1:50, ended up going over 2 hours and the runner didn't manage to SS the final level, yotta difficult. No fault to the runner, the category and that level are crushingly hard, but SS all in a marathon was probably too ambitious at the time since back then only 20-30 people had gotten an SS rank on the final level period.

Since then, only any% has made an appearance because there were maybe 1-2 people capable of even finishing an SS all run with moderate consistency.

Cut to now.
The Dustforce DX version being played has a full 16 more levels than the game had during that original run and yet the estimate of 1:10 is completely realistic, so for anyone who hasn't kept up with the category, the difference in skill, routing, and strats is really insane.
Sivade (the runner), is one of the best 2 SS all level runners, definitely the best active one, and possibly one of the chillest people on the planet.

Absolutely check it out if possible.

The 64 / PS1 era games I can't play at all anymore

It was huge in terms of unique games and figuring out 3D, but the games are so bad now

Pre 64 don['t have these issues and post PS1 games are all modern enough to be tolerable

Plenty of them are still fine, but third person action is the genre that has probably aged the worst of all.

It's actually bad despite the motorcycle skeletons, which is honestly kinda impressive.

The games were so bad then. It's just the technical wow that distracted people from that has faded.

Yes, unless maybe it's a game for literal babies

Even then some babies would probably find it cool

It is however possible to add skeletons along with bad gameplay and make a net loss
