Kenny I'm loving offended you didn't just look me up. https://www.twitch.tv/uraniumanchor https://www.youtube.com/user/uraniumanchor https://www.speedrun.com/user/UraniumAnchor https://twitter.com/uraniumanchor To the surprise of absolutely no one. I'm in the process of moving to a new place but once I get stuff set up at the new place over the next few weeks I intend on... well, fixing GDQ videos for a while. I don't think there's anything seriously wrong with any videos this time, thankfully, and I've figured out how to offload the actual encoding steps onto The Cloud(tm) so my desktop won't have to get tied up for weeks on end any more. After that... I dunno, probably BM0 (100% either Jason or Shantae) and Carol?

UberJew posted:good luck drawing the bright line anywhere that isn't silly It's almost as if the entire hobby is made out of ultimately arbitrary decisions. In all seriousness, though, "modding the game to remove RNG" is definitely an outlier when it comes to weird poo poo that people allow for category decisions, so I don't know why it's so surprising that a lot of people are giving it some intense side-eye. You're right, though, in that ultimately it's all about what people are willing to run, otherwise romhack runs wouldn't exist at all.

eonwe posted:lol To elaborate on this in a more serious way: even if it were clean "enough" (debatable even if I were being massively charitable and assuming sub only mode) it's too noisy to be anything other than a massive crowd aggregate reaction. Think of a stadium crowd cheering. You wouldn't try to have a deep discussion with somebody five rows back at a sports event so I think the same approach applies here when the crowd gets to a certain size.

Kaubocks posted:this is actually a really interesting perspective i hadn't considered. thanks! I'm going to agree with Murph on this one, given that most of the runs I really like doing are about this length. When you're starting out fight the urge to just reset constantly, getting in full game runs is just as important as practicing individual sections (and if you reset a lot you're really just practicing the first part a ton).

Earlier tonight I did a few runs of a category for Blaster Master that I never really put any serious effort into (glitchless) and after three runs I had it down to like 46 minutes when I was originally thinking 48 minutes was a reasonable starting point. Then I did a few derust runs on Metal Storm and my very first run of the first loop was a mere 17 seconds slower than my old PB and 12 seconds faster than my SGDQ2014 run. After not playing the game for something like a year and a half. Second loop was quite a bit rougher, but still within acceptable parameters considering how long it's been since I put any effort into it. Think I'll be good for GDQx submissions by Saturday.

Waffles Inc. posted:It seems like for a lot of folks there just isn't a desire anymore--if ever--to extend the well meaning benefit of the doubt to GDQ. Right or wrong or based on past perceived slights or bumbling or inaction or whatever, it seems that there's people who saw this whole ordeal--and the deleted tweet--as par for the course for GDQ. And I think on that reasonable people can certainly disagree; none of us are emotion cops Keeping most enforcement discussions internal to GDQ makes us look a lot less active than we actually are. Even in this thread there's a lot of either outright incorrect information (not lies, just people getting stuff wrong) or speculation about things that I can't address. I have to be careful even discussing things that I think are 'public knowledge'.

zelgadis posted:honestly, I came here for posts about speedrunning, and I get a very politically charged thread. Clearly people who do not agree with you are not welcome. I know not agreeing with you makes you a Nazi(a defunct political party, which no one is a part of, but you can feel good that your 'fighting' Nazis). I guess it would be too much to ask you to tone it down, or make a separate thread. (GDQ drama thread, GDQ community thread). Hours late but please gently caress off directly into the sun thanks.

Boogalo posted:I asked PJ to just do one run of memory clobber at AGDQ but he declined for fear of it actually working, being faster than his current PB, and not having a recording of it which knowing his luck would all happen. We actually record the primary video feed separately so theoretically it would have a clean copy. But knowing his luck, the recording would be corrupt.

Acolyte! posted:Zotmeister leveraged a wrong warp in Prince of Persia (SNES) to beat a 13 year old record, which he then trimmed down even further: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/369379968 You know, I knew about a wrong warp to Level 9 from 3 that didn't mess up the graphics or cause other weirdness, but it only left you with like 12 minutes left on the timer, so you couldn't actually win. This, on the other hand, is completely great. UraniumAnchor fucked around with this message at 08:32 on Jan 25, 2019 |

One of my friends and fellow BM speedrunners has hit a rough patch lately and is running a marathon on his channel this weekend to try and smooth things over financially. I'll be running BM1 tomorrow evening: https://horaro.org/skavthon/schedule It's already live, currently somebody running through Shantae and the Pirate's Curse.

In other news, somebody came into a speedrunning discord I'm in and it caused me to re-run some tests and discover something very weird: https://twitter.com/uraniumanchor/status/1148082922752114693 The timing is otherwise identical for this trick, but it means the audio cue is slightly different.
