All the reducing RNG changes and making the rando longer just mean it's a speedrunner game not a game for general audiences. I hear FFV has a rando now.............

Hyphen-ated posted:It means a casual racer will win fewer races through luck. The author of the document is upset that they are going to lose slightly more consistently to higher-skilled players This, pretty much. Every rando change (Except removing rando bias) has been to make sure the more vanilla-execution-skilled player will win more consistently; which if you want a competitive game is probably not actually good. Less skilled (or even different skilled) players should have a shot at winning. If the person with perfect execution should win every time, just make a NMG hack with the few sources of RNG removed and have done with it.

Olive Garden tonight! posted:It's an honest question I think it's because the alttp rando writers have changed the rules of the rando several times since it became popular / was in a tournament. Most of those times have been to make things better for established runners. Also why add back in the RNG at all if it is bad? just keep the blue balls out and put the digging game and chest game back to the deterministic logic.

Studio posted:Yeah this is surprisingly uncomplicated. Randomizer maker wants the randomness from decision-making and item collecting to be the biggest factors, not boss RNG that good players already have no trouble with and will very rarely contribute to a run. The randomness of "the loadout for the final dungeon will dramatically shift" is way more interesting than "seckswrecks blue balls" Except we totally already took all this randomness out.. so let's put it back in but not have it as random because reasons? Also Let's make it so items aren't COMPLETELY random so if you don't use the standard routing you're more punished. Also let's put some softlocks back in for reasons.

Studio posted:Softlocks are bad, but iterating randomness in and out makes sense because that's what iteration is. But you aren't bringing the RNG back in you're just extending the already admittedly useless boss fights artificially? the RNG was already fixed, but now it's MORE fixed?

MSF tends to get a pass because it misses a lot of the complaints leveled at PCF. OFC you're always going to have people who have no clue how these thigns work and wonder why it can't be some small charity without an operating budget.

Ramadu posted:Honest question, why does it seem like the speed running community has a massively higher amount of trans people in it than any other community I can think of on the internet? It's probably not that there are trans people but GDQ especially seems to create a space where it's OK to be trans, so people are more open about it.

Crotch Bat posted:What part of "spreading hate is not a way to grow" did you not grasp? So, people WERE upset at it being GDQ banned. Yes PMG shouldn't have jumped to conclusions about dansgaming based on an iguana and a emote in poor taste. Going about trying to remove DansGaming as an emote is not really the right way to go about things. This doesn't excuse nor justify people being lovely to PMG before/during/after. EDIT: Why are we banning trihex?

heeheex2 posted:iirc, Omni made a post on TG stating there were (paraphrasing from memory) "millions of different combinations of button presses to get 5.61", and also that it's a 1/8 chance of the game being on the right whatever when it starts to have 5.61 inputs give a 5.57 FWIW Omni or another one of the decompilers has later disproved this. It is possible to get a 5.57 on all the start frames (though some frames are still "faster" the game timer won't show the difference IIRC) EDIT: Did Jace say anything about TG posting Omni's time?

beep by grandpa posted:I agree, something about the custom sprites just makes it all seems very cheap and reminds me of those dime a dozens sprite hacks in games you used to come across in the old rom-hunting days on emulation sites (if u don't own this post pls delete within 24 hours) Some of the sprites are OK, but some of them are just bad (plus does Andy really need his own sprite?) Also I like open mode less than "normal". Also there's just way too much of it. They are in round 3 of like 6 rounds of swiss then they cut to top like 64 or something then it's going to be bracket style. also progressive items and putting blue balls and teleporting back in were the worst things to happen to rando.

You're gonna have to spell it out for me because I don't know what this has to do with Rando or Mania or the tutorial or anything I'm posting about. You seem to be saying: "Every alltp rando needs to appeal to the widest audience possible" but "Sonic fan games (which I commentate) are aok every time". even if they select a target audience which is small or selective.
