Yo nice! I really need to get myself motivated and get a run that includes the two real dirty skips but life just hasnt led me that way recently.

Right now I'm happy that I have a PB without any deaths. I didn't get polycraft skip and I don't think I've ever gotten the mohole itemfly death from above in an actual run. In both of these recent PBs I got an itemfly at the start of the mohole fight and then missed the DFA, so clearly it's time to load up the level and practice that.

In Port Anderson II I'm used to having to go to the third biomech in the first arena, but in this run it came to me. I don't think I'll ever understand enemy behavior in this game.

Speaking of the iQue, I thought about getting back into speedrunning a couple PS1 games, but it seems the community has moved to using the PlayStation TV to cut load times, and I don't feel like spending $100-$150 to regain a record.

Theres one for sale at 'make me an offer' in SA-Mart right now.

SOME REALLY TEDIOUS DUMB SHIT THAT SUCKS ASS TO READ ->>

Johnny Joestar posted:

the secret here is that a lot of them try to put on a friendly persona because they've built an entire 'thing' around being personable and nice for views but ultimately that means gently caress-all behind the scenes for some of them and some are more than willing to be shitheads when they think they can get away with it

twitch is like the shut-in version of stripping where all the friendliness past a certain point is entirely fake and forced as they have to be to make a viable living off of it. Really small streamers or people with no chance of making a living off of it often are somewhat more authentic, but if you gave 99% of streamers a way of automating all their interactions with the community without losing donations instead of having to force laughter at every idiot 150 bit donation, literally every single one would take it. That saccharine, 'how do i not alienate anyone?' persona is their livelihood.

That's not to say that no friendships have been made over twitch or whatever, but, especially with big streams, people are just some rear end in a top hat who gets you $2.70 closer to paying rent or w/e the going take home is rn.

:agreed:

The other obvious parallel is serving at a restaurant - in effect, your entire livelihood depends on people liking you and being nice, polite, funny and interact. "Don't be an rear end in a top hat" is a critical business strategy.

ToxicFrog posted:

IIRC the pro baba strat involves alternating WASD and arrow key inputs so you can button twice as fast.

Yeah, the game accepts two sets of movement keys and it'll accept movement input about as fast as you can humanly press the buttons so the execution requirement is actually deceptively high? Like, it's actually a pretty tiring run to physically do on top of the massive memorisation overhead necessary.

There are also skips! Multiple! Because you can solve a couple of Meta levels in ways that are absolutely not supposed to be possible because:
- they got patched out (downpatching lol)
- they make the level select poo poo itself since levels aren't supposed to correspond to like three objects at the same time

basically there's a really esoteric solve you can do on an early level that causes it to solve as Flag/Text which gives you access to "Level" text in the hubworld a shitton earlier than you're meant, which allows you to casually skip over a bunch of levels. Meta6 is skipped, Meta8-11 is skipped, 12-13 are also skipped, so like, half the Meta isn't actually solved which saves a shitton of time and brings the run length down to something more digestible even if the solve in question that enables this is excruciatingly exact about how it works because it's not a thing you're supposed to be able to do.

It's neat.

Zero RNG though, so it's not a very dynamic run. One trick pony run, but I think it's a solid trick.

as an additional bit of bitchiness, I would like to add that cheese is not only a transphobe, he's also just broadly an obnoxious human being on like a more fundamental level, having generally been a prick to me and a few others at events for no real reason. In my case he heckled me before a marathon run I was doing and fortunately the mic wasn't on otherwise it'd probably have picked up me telling him to gently caress off

he is a classic example of someone who has come to like the smell of their own farts because everyone in this loving hobby deems sm64 The Bestest and Most Important Thing so he's spent much of his formative years being told he's the most important guy in the room.

I'm trying to find a past Super Mario Maker race from GDQ which had the little player avatars on the screen but I just can't find it on GDQ vods. Did I imagine the whole thing? I know for sure that it's not the one from SGDQ 2018.

SGDQ 2019. It was a blind race of a brand-new SMW romhack.

Yeah, the way they were able to do it was by building the player order into the rom, so that the picture changed on each death. Can't do that with mario maker.

I think my favourite parts of speedruns are when the player has to wait for an elevator or a platform or something and they inevitably start doing backflips and acrobatics because holding still for an entire thirty seconds would probably destroy their momentum.
