SuccinctAndPunchy posted:https://twitter.com/GoldenSRL/status/953872668129972225 man first game i ever actually attempted to "speedrun" a year ago was Severed and this could finally be the opportunity to put in an actual decent effort into it... but... it's like a two hour run with no scene. it would mostly just be me looking at the maps and finding the most direct route and learning no subtlety about what upgrades would actually make the game faster or where to get consumables or anything lmfao. also my wrist would absolutely kill me after a couple hours let alone 12. Abisteen posted:gymnast86 found a way to skip the RNG bullshit with the fairies at the end of the WWHD any% run. I think that's a run that, as a result of that skip, may get a LOT more interesting in the coming months as more people decide to pick it up due to no longer having to deal with potentially a half hour or more of RNG crap.  hot drat, WW Any% has come back to life DizzyBum posted:I've finally updated my avatar.

tiistai posted:Yeah. The cards are generated randomly, but each objective has an assigned "weight" to it based on some criteria that I'm not 100% sure about (I think it's how time-consuming and/or difficult the objective can be) and the generator tries to take the weights into account and make each row balanced. The runners aren't allowed to see the card until the moment they start the game, so they have to then think quickly, make a call on which row they want to complete and route that on their feet. Bingos have an increased emphasis on general knowledge of the game instead of just mechanical skill. i had a vague familiarity with what a bingo race was but didn't know they were weighted, nor knew that runnerguy was going to run it solo and that he'll probably have things to say about it definitely gonna check out this run

Kikas posted:I mean aside for the last 10 minutes with the final boss and the QTE-fest that follows it's a legit speedgame with great movement tech and some amazing glitches so small wonder you're considering runnin. Game good run good, community smol  mostly it's just my apprehension of "my first speedrun game" being something that at best is still a bit over an hour long. also i still have a sour taste for the story in the game being dumb and bad-- parts of it hilariously so but most of it just being ughhhhhhhhh. that said it's a game i played a lot when it first came out because of how fun it was. mostly just hate the story even though i'd be skipping the whole thing lol

MURPHAGATOR! posted:Its short enough that it doesnt tank my entire evening after work, but long enough to discourage just resetting the moment anything goes wrong since Ive got a limited window anyways. this is actually a really interesting perspective i hadn't considered. thanks! sometime this week i'll almost certainly replay the game casually just to see how i feel about it. the swinging in that game is so good and the item fly you pulled off in your run seemed fun as hell. also the way you guys mentioned how inconsistent the game could be made me think it'd be a funny game to race if i ever got good at it, haha since i've got your attention, you know of any info i should check out if i decide to start speedrunning it? i doubt there are many resources/guides or a discord channel out there for the vibrant biocom2k9 scene

scripting isn't bad it was just 1) a bad script 2) unrehearsed enough that it came across stilted in parts anyway bit of a disappointment for odysseys first inclusion in gdq but there's no way it's not coming back really the only joke about the script is was all the people theorycrafting "well it was bad on purpose as a play on how gdq has become too sterile and--"

Elvis_Maximus posted:Every single time I watch a bunch of GDQ stuff I get the powerful urge to learn to run New Game Any% MGR. There's like.. 5 people on the leaderboard for that category so maybe it's a huge pain or something? The game is just so fun though and the boss fights rule. my understanding from the one MGR speedrun i watched at GDQ a few years ago is it's pretty much you just spam Sky High over and over again maybe things have changed?

been playing some bionic commando 2009 the past couple days. only in like 30 minute bursts though because oh my god i am much rustier at this game than i remembered and my swings aren't nearly as clean as murphagator. got stuck in the caves for like five minutes where you have to throw a rock at a wall to proceed. spencer kept throwing rocks behind him :| also the game doesn't use scroll wheel to switch weapons? but seems to bind every separate weapon to different numbers even though you can only hold one non-pistol weapon at a time. ALSO i need to figure out what to bind these two separate melee buttons to lol this game is much more of a mess than i thought it was but i guess i originally played on x360 back in the day

sorry murphagator but i think i settled on bloodstained curse of the moon as my first speedgame. i do hope to one day represent the dozen-large bionic commando fan club even if i put up a poor showing in 2009! bloodstained kicks rear end tho. it’s super easy to pick up and practice in the bus, grind out individual levels. seems like it’s an easy run to pick up but tough to master? could just be me underestimating things. we’ll see. feeling fairly confident in my level 1 being great but not perfect. fine by me. can beat the first boss in one cycle. currently practicing level 2. will almost certainly stream some practice sessions at some point

dumb question when all y’all are practicing speedruns do you just play the full game over and over to learn it or learn it in chunks? been toiling around in bloodstained and figured i’d learn it on a level by level basis. currently learned the tricks of two stages and moving onto the third. figured i’d learn it all before trying to string it together into a full run i figure this is a case of personal preference but figured i’d ask it of curiosity

Zamujasa posted:The important thing is to just interact with people who are watching you. If you don't have a mic, pop into the chat when you get a few moments in game to say hi or talk about how it's going. only thing i’d suggest is some people just want to lurk, so my rule of thumb is only to interact with people who interact first if nobody’s talking that’s fine, just talk to yourself as if you were talking to people who were just listening. more people will be more keen to interact in the first place if you aren’t deadpan silent

Lutha Mahtin posted:ah yes, let me load them up Twitch, noted well performing website. and then if i want to skip ahead or back in the run I can pixel-hunt around on the seek bar like an old adventure game, except instead of just not finding the hidden object, a misclick obliterates my save file (figuratively) people aren't talking about the twitch vods on the gdq channel, they're talking about the website http://gdqvods.com which has every run on it with easily sorted and searched categories like runner, game, and event and clicking on the run you want immediately starts you at the time the run starts that said as a point in the favor of the guy who's just hitting up youtube-- it's totally fine! this year they have improved their youtube uploads IMMENSELY. they used to just upload like 20 minutes worth of dead air at the start of each video and you'd have to dig in the comments for the time the run starts. this year all the setup time has been moved to the end of the video and the run starts very very closely to the actual start of the video. additionally the description will link both the runner introduction and the run start, in case you prefer one over the other. gdq vods got a lot of popularity for ease of use due to the inconvenience of previous event youtube uploads -- and it's still great! -- but the youtube uploads are much better this year
