SeXReX posted:Be sure to keep your ears to the street and apply for online marathons too, I know they like seeing that someone has a proven marathon record. this is good advice, i’ll try and keep an eye out for smaller marathons that interest me; thanks! which isn’t to ignore the rest of your post. a night of sleep later and it’s still wild to be i got second place even though a lot of places in my run feel a bit sloppy? i might try to bring my time down a bit more... but also current goal is just to never go super hard on one speedgame. i don’t think id ever have it in me to grind out a game for near thousand attempts to save a second or two. definitely want to put up a good fight for others but also realize that the moment a speedrun starts becoming frustrating instead of fun it’s probably time to drop it i dunno just rambling! wondering if after this i should start learning a new category or move onto a new game entirely... and if i do pick a new game do i pick something completely different or try to roll with the castlevania train? decisions...

Well there's that but I was talking more along the lines of "Yeah it's a charity fundraiser thing, we raised 2 million dollars for msf" "Holy poo poo you raised 2 million dollars for charity that's insane" "Well actually I had a very small part in it and in fact they probably would have raised just as much had I not been involved" Kaubocks posted:
I love speed dabbling, the fun part to me is learning what makes the game tick, not slamming my head against a wall waiting until it crumbles.

Captain Invictus posted:I'm pretty sure ff6 is the snes rpg equivalent of skyrim in terms of just being so goddamn huge with so much to do. Not in terms of story, graphics or bugginess since it's way better than skyrim in all those aspects If by better bugginess, you mean has better bugs, then I agree. The airship glitch alone is loving ridiculous in how much of the inner workings of the game it reveals and how much you can break. Keeping various characters as moogles from the invasion sequence, getting Banon in your party permanently, having General Leo visit his own grave, making characters ride around on rafts everywhere, spooking Kefka to death with the power of ghosts and mimes, and time travel, to name a few.

The great thing is that FF6 continues to have new glitches found, and new ways to exploit known glitches. A couple of weeks ago it was discovered how to skip the Thamasa section of the game entirely (something speedrunners like since that section is long and full of many cutscenes). https://twitter.com/em0141029/status/1018618663132229632 (I also like the any% technique of game over'ing 52 times in a row to cause the game to start writing garbage data in places, leading to a warp straight to the credits.)

Hadn't seen that one yet. Extra style points for keeping Strago/Relm as moogles (you could also make them ghosts if you recruit them on Phantom Train). Agreed with the above comments. FFVI may not have the most glitches, but it has the best glitches. Don't forget Sketch and all the nutty things you can do with that.

I kind of get why since it's a new style of event but man that is a safe rear end game list. No surprises at all. I'll be interested to see how the format of the event performs but I doubt I'll care to watch it at all.

It doesn't replace the next scheduled AGDQ, it's its own thing kinda like the impromptu Harvey Relief Done Quick was. Only it doesn't have to be qhipped up out of the runners' own homes in a few days.

Practice some more YOU GOT IT CHIEF  (IGT rounds this up to 20:14, boo) still 2nd place but HOOOOOOOOOO tightening up that time as far as i'm aware there's someone out there with a 20:10 but just... hasn't submitted? they might feel like they're capable of better and waiting for that run but gently caress it officially i'm still 2nd  tightening up my time just means that if they ever do submit and i get bumped down to 3rd then i'm now gonna be harder to knock out of 3rd

After a lot of hype I watched the LttP randomizer run last time they ran it at AGDQ 2018 and it was honestly kinda underwhelming. Rando fans gush about that stuff constantly but for me personally I didn't really see what the big deal was.

Randomizers are kind of terrible for a marathon since they require so much knowledge of the game. It's even worse in a race - you don't have time to explain why it's exciting they picked up the Farngle before the Glorb while also providing commentary. The real interesting bits in a run are the routing decisions, and those are ridiculously complicated. Also, that wasn't a particularly exciting seed, which they had no way of knowing in advance since, you know, random.

Rando fans gush about that stuff constantly but for me personally I didn't really see what the big deal was. i mean same except I was physically there and I still didn't think it was very good the commentary was pretty mediocre because the good commentator was playing the game instead of talking about it This is one of the base issues I have with marathon randomizers, the most interesting part of it is player thought process. But players can't do that when they're racing lest they give away crucial info to their opponent, but rando basically doesn't exist outside of a race format because running a randomizer without an opponent sort of defeats the point of it as a competitive exercise. Oops.
