Todd Roger is a really sad or perhaps even mentally ill person. I think we all know that by now. The bigger question is how or why is Twin Galaxies this biased or incompetent? "Verification" is basically "my buddy the referee agrees I got 15 million points" and if anyone else second guesses it, even with indisputable proof, they get shouted down and nothing changes. Is it possible to measure integrity as a negative number?
The dude is sad (i mean he's a washed up pro gamer living on bullshit that's like 30 or 40 years old at this point) but he's not mentally ill, he's just a dude who lied about a bunch of stuff. He found a niche where people liked what he did and then took advantage of it, that's just normal run of the mill human greed

Todd Rodgers is 53

The point where he was"popular" is 30 or so years old, not he himself. Sorry about the unclarity

Considering some number of them colluded with Todd I'd say at the very least any scores those people verified are suspect, and that's like, the least of the problems

allegedly his run contains unrealistically good RNG from the norm as well so there's pretty strong odds he cheated

id be interested if its replicable with original hardware too tbh

Doom Mathematic posted:

Surely that counts as illegal hardware manipulation. What if I just get a high energy cosmic ray source and use it to flip bits in game memory until it triggers the end sequence?

what about it is illegal? i dont think the government cares much if i put a heatpad under a videogame console

To be fair, Shadow of the Colossus was a total outlier. That game looked better than poo poo coming out like 5 years later. The horse controls and animation still hold up.

Honestly i think it still looks good, the sense of scale of the titans is still pretty breathtaking even if like, actual graphics are lacking. Idk thats probs just nostalgia talking

for a long time the scene of sharing video game accomplishments was dominated by people driven by ego who spread the idea that what they were doing was something special only they could when in reality just about anyone who has the motivation to put in the work to practice and grind out attempts at something can achieve so many things. Thankfully the culture is shifting, and more people at the top are spreading that message that anyone can do it.

This is especially funny since when i think of that era of people being titans, i think of like early early speedrunning like todd rogers and billy mitchell, ya know, people who cheated

No healing means you don't get dig/teleport points either, right?

I believe the triggers are set when you enter the center, not when you heal. So it looks like you can still get those
