another day, another episode of Things Not Going PJ's Way

PJ tried to have his terrible vehicle, Bert, really wallop this Jinjo and send it flying for a while. He gets a really good hit in, and...the game is just like "no"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6u8--VaDzt4&hd=1&t=5148s

clarification someone requested: the goal is to launch the jinjo ball using some sort of vehicle designed for launching it as best as possible. PJ is doing the Choo Choo Challenge, where every vehicle he builds must be 3+ separate pieces connected only by Tow Bars, the glitchiest vehicle part in the game. He created Bert, the spinning, smoking, barely-controllable monstrosity, and tried to launch the jinjo for a while, before finally landing a perfect hit that would definitely win the challenge and it just...refused. it went rocketing off, before physics glitching out seemingly in defiance of PJ.

Somehow that isn't even the most incorrect physics he's gotten. This was from the last playthrough:

Special mention to the 5 car train he made that flings things just by existing.

https://www.twitch.tv/pjdicesare/clip/ObservantSparklyAxeSquadGoals


The whole playthrough has been amazing. If you want to see all of the bullshit, hit the twitch clips page for nuts n bolts, its basically 99.99% pj.

His website also has everything categorized and timestamped by challenge run, individual challenge, and vehicle used.

Today though, he's taking a break and trying some BCR2 IL's which are always a fun time.

Are we allowed to post our own runs here? Got this verified on speedrun.com earlier:

Execution could be tighter, and at this point I believe sub-11 minutes is possible for Floyd. Throw loops. All the throw loops.

For reference, the next best times for Floyd I believe are a bit above the 13 minute mark, but those have a bigger focus on Floyd's jab jab jab infinite which is slower. Much slower.

Not the best time if you count all characters though! I think Blaze is sitting at 8 and a half minutes or so, and she has like 4 infinites and counting.

The battleship minigame in Wind Waker has been more-or-less solved using knowledge of how the RNG works and statistics. The video gets pretty technical but I found it really cool.

I'm glad they explained how the choice to allow this in RTA runs came to be. It's a weird edge case.

It certainly is insane, but it's because the claimant is typically a deep-pocketed corporation with battalions of lawyers, whereas the person getting hit with claims is an individual with much more limited resources. The little guy might be mad and complain, but that's as far as it'll go, whereas if you went the other way, the megacorp would just start filing lawsuits.

It's an awful and ridiculous consequence of copyright law (and corporate lobbying to keep favorable laws), but it's easier for the websites to just dodge the whole issue by defaulting to "we assume it's a violation until you prove otherwise" rather than "the claimant needs to prove it is a violation".

On what basis would Guinness be able to claim a video of someone playing a game made by Nintendo? I guess I don't see how Google just doesn't tell them to pound sand, especially if they're targeting multiple videos.

Youtube provides an API to claim monetization on a video. This turns on ads for the video and then pays the money to the claimant. it's on the video uploader to contest the claim. Some companies run automated bots over videos and flag anything more than X% similar.

its unlikely guinness is doing this manually and it's happening automatically because the videos match parts of a video they have on their youtube channel.

It's because no human is involved at any point in this process. The claim by Guinness is (probably) automated, and nobody at youtube looks at the claim at this stage, they side with the claimant by default. When the content creator appeals, then it might get looked at by a human at youtube, but I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't actually have people review every single claim. The state of copyright on youtube and most other creator-driven websites out there is utterly ridiculous and massively weighted against independent content creators.

I haven’t followed Ocarina of Time speedrunning for almost a year now and looking in holy poo poo it’s just gotten out of control. You need multiple PHDs to understand how the game works at this point.

Any time speedrunners figure out how to write pretty freely to game memory is the point at which those speedruns jump the shark. But fortunately it seems like they've recognised this and are splitting the runs into categories with and without the new memory editing techniques.

Yeah, that always happens for any remotely popular game when the any% becomes "execute a credits skip." Pokemon Gen 1, SMB3, SMW, etc.
