People are complaining about it in the chat but I can't honestly hear it at all, everything seems normal to me. I do have my fan blasting pretty loud, dunno if that drowns it out.

they probably fixed it but I think it was only when the host was talking

very happy to wake up in the middle of a castlevania block followed by a TMR run it will make the start of the workday flash by

This is something I end up asking at every event, but how do you end up figuring out this kind of thing (re: Bloodstained menu/no collision glitch)

typically someone encounters a glitch by accident (which is more likely to happen when they're playing a game as much as speedrunners do) and then they try to replicate it and figure out exactly how it works

Agent Wyvern's reactions remind me of myself when I play (have a Dark Souls 2 first playthrough going on at the moment) when making noises like eee! aaaa! uuuhhH! and swinging the controller from side to side definitely helps

I'm very curious how the paper mario one was discovered

Oct 19, 2003

and?
paper mario is old enough and popular enough with speedrunners that there are people doing dedicated (sometimes with $ reward) skip hunting

Here's a pastebin by the Paper Mario N64 runner on how it works: https://pastebin.com/E8Kxm1tG

Couldn't watch it live but I will VOD this one for sure. La-Mulana is one of my favourite series and the speedruns are always fun.

One of the runs earlier this week (I think it was Spyro?) mentioned that they got a lot of their tricks from non-speedrunners since the game was popular for letsplays and the like. Some newbie who doesn't know how things are supposed to go accidentally does a double-jump and then the speedrunners figure out how to do it on purpose.
