Sorry, I just wanted to explain spikejumps in general for those maybe not familiar with the game. I didn't really connect with other dustforce players until long after spikejumps were a thing so i don't know when they were first discovered. As mentioned, it happens all the time accidentally on peta so I can totally see that being the origin, though.
Amusingly, the fact that I didn't seek out other players for such a long time also meant that I basically have my own set of terminology for various things which occasionally causes confusion when having discussions :)

Definitely excited to explore a new nexus. I really liked the fact that the original one was one connected world, although admittedly one that made the city / lab pretty hard to find for new players even though they have some easy levels in them.

Yeah, fair enough. The new Nexus is pretty easy to explore, though like I said, it can be weirdly difficult to reach some of the Gold doors.

You weren't kidding about that Clocktower bug, either. I just did a couple quick runs of it, and beat the level in three seconds. It's pretty broken. According to the Dustworth twitter, the fastest time is a couple frames shy of 1.8 seconds, it's loving nuts.

Same; other streams are going fine for me but I'm spending more time buffering than watching on that. Booo.

BILL FILLMAFF'S GREATEST DISAPPOINTMENT
Late last night witwix got a new PB for himself on Boshy with 33:25. Kale got the record back a while ago at 32:45. If world 10 and missingno had gone more smoothly, it would have probably been the run

According to the Twitch video player, Chicagothon is at about 2500 bitrate and godawful FPS (about 15) but that might be because my computer's getting taxed out from trying to run it. So he might have it at 2500 bitrate and 60 FPS.

I think the problem is on Klaige's end, not ours. I've tried watching him run Bloodlines a few times the last couple of weeks and it's been terrible those times as well.

Almost certainly. It's either "he's streaming too high of quality for a lot of people to watch smoothly" or "he's streaming too high of quality for his computer/Internet to handle."

I'm getting 3600 kbps and the fps is all over the place between 10 and 60. It's also maxing out an entire CPU core in addition to my GPU :aaaaa:

Dude needs to turn something down, I feel bad for anybody watching on a laptop.

edit: someone just said they're streaming 1080p, but I've never had anything play this badly

The opposite is true actually. As streamers get more and more consistent donations they stop caring about them.

It seems at least some of the >1k donations are true, and from some foreign princes in UAE or something that just watch Twitch streams.

Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.

It's a crapshoot. E-checks are the worst, it seems. Sodapoppin's infamous for being a troll so he probably gets more troll donations than anyone else. The first video is a troll but the last two are very real and ridiculous. Soda says anytime he gets an E-check now if it's not pre-cleared(or something) he automatically pushes it back because most of the time it happens anyway.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezAYIDipoyY

I use him as an example for this all the time because his stuff makes the least sense. He's not an elite moba player, he's not a top raider or arena expert(although he probably could be at arena if he tried) and he doesn't have tits. He makes a stupid amount of money because he's a troll and an idiot and he's basically proof that if you can entertain, someone will pay you for it.

LiveEgg seems nice. Siglemic is ingrained as THE SM64 runner so I like seeing more competition versus him. Like, if you go to an invalid Twitch page you're linked to Siglemic's stream

Yeah I don't know Caleb's case specifically. Like even in small marathons I've noticed it's easy to get desensitized. I think that's why I don't like donations without really specific goals in mind. When you have a focus or project the donations all stay super relevant.
