They didn't use a seed saying that it invalidates the run because the other could catch up or cheat by screen watching or just beelining for the item/exit.

They could've simply practiced the same seed and handled the race like any other. Why make it so much harder on the runners and viewers?

Still better than that one guy who ran BOI and started smack-talking the game halfway through. That run was kinda cringey.

Unsurprisingly one dude's run went perfect while the other one died midway resulting in a really bad race.

I think Roguelites should be under heavy review depending on the game cause they can go way over estimate if the RNG fucks with them.

The NES was huge, it's kinda like why the PS2 was still getting new games even when the PS3 had been out for a while.

It was one of the last games made for the NES, but the NES was the bestselling console of all time until the PS2 came along, I think, so there was an incentive to keep releasing games for it.

I think it was a game jam Zelda like, a race between a tas and a speed runner. Cool concept, bad execution

it still makes me angry that the sole reason he's not donating tens of thousands of dollars to charity is because he's pissed about a streaming website

I'm pretty sure they sponsor it and all the normal stuff they would get a cut of goes directly to charity. It's good advertising and they probably get a lot of subscriptions for it.

I honestly cannot parse Notch's grievance besides this stupid tribal thing where gamers pretend to be akin to a racial minority.

It's easier to poo poo out a new licensed game in the engine you already have done than to make a completely new game

Man, every boss in this game is exactly the same.

Fire projectile which lands on ground, pick up projectile, throw at boss.

Rinse, repeat.
