Actually based on the number of people I know who use youtube search to try and find a world record because they don't know what speedrun.com is


They're good for the culture.

Wow they do a search? The number of runners Ive come across playing a game Ive run for "WR" without bothering to do so much as a single google search is staggering.

It's also fun when someone runs a game, doesn't bother to look anything up, and posts a video on youtube and labels it "WR".

Doubly so when they submit it to SRC and still call it WR in the description.

Plaintiff held the world record at Donkey Kong. GBF attempts to maintain his universe record

It speaks to the quality of his usual lawsuits that “tried to sue because he was parodied as a cartoon”, also both that lawsuit and the regular show’s interpetation of him are worth bringing up for laughs on a frequent basis anyways because :allears:

In other news the 100% Baiten Kaitos run (notable for having a mandatory week wait in the middle for an item to transform) died 4 days in because of a quest not giving both unique rewards when you hand in the higher number of required items. :v:

Wait, hang on

Is this runner error, or is there potentially run-killing RNG that only manifests four days into the run?

It looks to be runner error, with a side helping of dumb bugs. Per the runner:


Baffan posted:

So there is a quest where you have to give items to starving children. You get rewards after 13 and 21 items given.

Today I learned that if you give 21 at once, the NPC that rewards you for your kindness skips the reward for 13 items given and only gives you the reward for 21 items. And of course, those rewards are unique items. So I simply killed my run because I didn't know that

Yeah... the game has two of them to make it seem like he's good at chasing you, and they're supposed to be restricted to separate areas but the pathing can get screwed up enough that they intersect.
Or does the rando just... do that?

well it also had yawn appear in a random room in the labs, and sharks can appear in literally any room, no water necessary, so i think it can just do that
