Hey when the streams are going on Youtube this time around afterwards, can they be at least put in playlists seperated for each event? Gets a bit hard to sort through the channel when it's all out of order clips in the main upload area and no organized playlist.

Rorus Raz posted:A Gone Home speedrun is probably doable since it does actually, you know, end and you don't have to make up stupid poo poo like the AC run. Animal Crossing run's goal isn't "made up stupid poo poo", it's the only ending goal in the game besides "get every single item at least once" which would require weeks of play time or a really bizarre glitch.

IcePhoenix posted:is today the worst day so far for donations? Looks like they haven't even gotten 50k in the last 12-ish hours, did a major bid war end or something? Well counting from midnight, they started the day with about $459,000 and we're up to $564,000 now. $105,000 in about 20 hours isn't so bad.

New Concept Hole posted:HL2Ep2 is a 55 minute Speedrun? Is there not that many skips or am I misremembering the length of that game? I think the current segmented run is around 43 minutes with loading times not counted? 55 minutes gives a good buffer since a decent bit of the skips in a compiled speedrun like that aren't going to work first time around in a live run.

Mr E posted:It's just crazy to me that there are tons of games that are still pretty much unplayable with little to no updates this many years on. At least in the OG Xbox's case the team just disbanded. Yeah it's because the original N64 emulators were based on a race to be the first to have an emulator working while the system was still a major platform. So all of them are just chock full of special hacks for each particular ROM to run correctly, and doing wacky stuff like skipping emulation of large chunks of the system to directly render on your 1999 PC's 3D card for that goal. This is also why the only TASBot runs on N64 games you tend to see are for a very few popular N64 games where the hacks have piled up high enough to accurately reproduce the console's behavior for that game.

DARPA Dad posted:yes, the N64's relative failure in the marketplace cannot be pinned down to one particular problem or decision, I agree. but the reason we don't have proper emulation can be much more simplified. Well yeah but that isn't because of any particular feature of the console, it's the fact that emulating it right wasn't possible on the PC hardware of 1999 or for many years after, so everybody took the heavy shortcuts way instead.

Your Computer posted:Missed that one, is it glitched or just very efficient? They use a trick with the replay feature so that you're in a rampage at the same time as a mission, or are in a mission 5 times at once to do things to skip over money requirements and mission progression, as well as skipping hella cutscenes. The replay trick also allows you to shoot like infinitely faster with unlimited ammo weapons during certain missions (like Phnom Penh 86 and the boat chase one). And apparently you can clip through the underside of the northern bridge to cross into mainland Vice City in order to steal helicopters before you normally unlock the island. And you can use the replay trick to allow you to get phone calls during missions... and during phone calls enemies can not attack you in any way so you can evade massive attacks with it. poo poo's crazy.

With N64 Nintendo first party games, you tend to have the most glitches in a first edition Japanese release, much less in the North American release, and if a European version was made, it'd tend to have the least glitches from either of the two other versions, but new glitches pop up when adapting to the 50 hertz. So if you're after full glitches you'll go on the Japanese usually. Except that some games might be faster on the PAL region systems but they're more often slower than all the rest.

AdamAK is fuckin' pro at narrating. It was very neat to see the change between his commentated run of Vice City on SDA several years ago and his run this year's AGDQ especially since both cases he fully explained the techniques being used.

President Ark posted:I'm pretty sure they did show off Unleashed's night stages during one of the marathons, and a lot of it came down to "abuse this one move to clip outside the level then fly through space to the exit" Yeah they did a partial showing of 2 Werehog levels at SGDQ one year after an all-day-stages run, but they didn't finish the last level shown because the guy hadn't really practiced the werehog stages much. Someone who could nail down both the day and night stages really well while making sure to grab enough medals for unlocking levels, so that you have a full story run in a short time, would be really neat to see.

raditts posted:I'm curious as to how people find glitches. Is it mostly by chance, or do people just go around trying weird things to deliberately break the game, or is there some peeking into the memory while the game is running on an emulator, or...? All three things, pretty much. Random chance tends to lead to something that might be exploitable, people try to replicate it, and if suitable emulators are available people will try it in an emulator to see what's up. And then there's things like seeing that a glitch already works in a game with a similar engine, and determining if you can replicate it in the older or newer engine in another game.
