Basically, what if you specified the list of inputs like a TAS, but not the timing so you had to deal with all RNG with the same inputs?

I can't wait for someone on Twitch to actually grind that whole thing out in Real Time.
A Pokemon "blind and deaf" TAS was verified on real hardware. This video is not the run, but shows all the hard work and struggles:

I'll be running Morrowind All Main Quests for this Wednesday at 8pm Eastern.

I decided not to apply for hosting since I'm way too busy with other things this week. I'm not sure if they allowed remote hosts this time anyway.

Yeah, but if you go to the tracker site link posted by Solarin, there's actually not a direct link back to the main site. Clicking "home" from that page only brings you back to the tracker home, not the main RPGLB front page with the embedded stream.

Not a major issue of course since you can just jump to Twitch or just use Google to land on the main RPGLB site, but an odd quirk nonetheless.

They did! I'm hosting tonight for Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam. Looking forward to Morrowind!

The Saga

Would have watched Paper Jam if it wasn't in the middle of the night for me. SMRPG I might watch the first hour or so of, but it also runs into way too late for me.

Sad since those are really the only two things on the schedule I'm interested in, since RPG runs generally aren't my thing.

Half Minute Hero 2 is worth a watch 1: to see if you can follow the game and 2: to see if you can follow the commentary. It is the perfect Dowolf run. You tell when things are going bad because he stops to to concentrate and
the host can finally read donations.

If you are able to watch the Ultima First Age of Darkness speedrun on RPGLB right now, you should. Organmike is running with their daughter Charlotte as copilot and it is absolutely adorable.

His Bard's Tale run was also good, though his copilot was asleep since it was past her bedtime.

ooo, I napped through that but i watched the vod of the bards tale run and they're great, having the kiddo along for this one will super hit me in the nostalgia gut :3:

Both of those runs were awesome. Other than Might & Magic, I don't have the patience for any of those old PC RPGs so watching them get systematically dismantled like that was very fun.

Ugh... in my 4 years of running Morrowind in speedrun marathons, that was by far my worst showing. I have never had a time that slow since I finished learning the run.
I'm still not sure what was going on with the game. Everything was fine during my practice runs and tech check, but as soon as I left the starting area the game started lagging hard. My FPS was periodically dropping to a crawl and all the loads took much longer than normal. For a run as movement-heavy as Morrowind AMQ, which relies on some blind navigation during loads, that was absolutely catastrophic.

Oh well, gonna throw that run in the trash where it belongs and get ready to show Daggerfall on Hotifx next Tuesday.

Boy do I love FF9 runs far more than could possibly be healthy, what an incredible 8 hours (so far) it's been.

This Pokemon Alpha Sapphire vs Omega Ruby race is great if you like pokemon runs, perhaps unsurprisingly since Corvimae is in it and her runs are consistently haunted and funny. Also, Pokemon runners saying "PP up" will never stop being funny.

On Monday there's a Duolingo speedrun. I have seen a lot of alternative stuff but that's the first time I see that one.

Too bad there's no Geoguessr this time, it's always impressive to see real superstars play and within 5 seconds go "Right this is a suburb in Lagos, Nigeria"

Also there's a Final Fantasy XIV run with an estimate of 23 hours.

If you thought the BotW blindfolded run was impressive, I beg of you, check out RPG Limit Break's Kingdom Hearts 3 Blindfolded Yozora (Level 1 APC) showcase - actually, check out the entire showcase before that, because it gives context to just how utterly insane this is. Very possibly the most amazing thing I've ever seen at a marathon. This might only be fully appreciable if you've played some of the harder Kingdom Hearts II or III boss modes, but even without that, you can get a sense for how ridiculously hard it is to do sighted, let alone blindfolded.

Catch the vod of Megaman 3 if you always wanted to see a demonstration of the technique known as teeth mashing. And yes, that's exactly what you think it is.

I don't think I've seen anyone else than prisii do it (there might be others) but he's kept at it for years now, I remember first seeing it at some age old GDQ and hey, it works for him!

This ESA Duolingo thing is already great, he had Finnish to start with and now moved onto Navajo

Also since we're in Europe, the prize segment reflects it

So after almost a year since Kazuya took the Mario Kart 64 150cc All Cups WR and held on to it, Abney has reclaimed it with the first ever sub-23 minute run.

Summoning Salt did a whole video on it about a month ago, which is worth the watch.

It should be the goal of all speedrunners to make Summon Salt videos obsolete as soon as possible.
