New memory manipulation glitch in Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest skips the entire Lava Dome/Volcano section. Also skips the Life spell so it looks to be super risky.

I just got the world record in Candy Box 2, and yes, I'm proud of myself. It may not be OoT or SM64, but the previous record was pretty fast to I'm happy I could optimize the route further.

How's CBox2 compare to the original?

I wish I could tell you but I haven't played the original, I never heard of the game until the second one came out and only got hooked on that one. From what I can tell reading the original's wiki, it looks pretty similar. Buy weapons, defeat enemies and eventually take on the "developer" and collect enough pieces to open the candy box and win the game.

The ascii art in CBox2 moves a bit more fluidly and there's more overworld map exploration options. I'm also not sure about this but I don't know if the first one is as "speedrunnable." There might be need for grinding and CBox2 has some fights that can be exploited to skip a lot of the game.

edit: I dunno, hopefully someone else can come in and compare them better.

I too recently got a world record in an off beat game, gungodz.

Except then lazerlong caved to my pressure and did runs, beating my time by 11 seconds with one just 2 seconds slower than my sum of best splits

Because I am trying to get the under 2 hour ending.

What the gently caress is up poo poo Pie is doing?

SMRPG low level, he's been resetting at the shark boss for an hour now.

Speaking of poo poo, does anyone else use the twitch app? It got updated last night, now its a gigantic of bloated poo poo, crashes constantly and I can't even switch out of streams anymore.

Lakitu works pretty well (on Android, at least) - I bounce between it and the official Twitch app. Lakitu will send to a Chromecast too, which is neat.

I don't know anything about SMRPG runs, so I may be wrong here, but this makes sense in my head:

If it's a low level run then he has to be using the lucky jewel to control his exp gain. You can skip random encounters but you're still stuck with boss exp unless you use the lucky jewel and roll the "wrong" choice after battle. If that happens then you zero out your money/exp gain.

I'm going to assume the resets are because he messed up and got exp.

Can't comment on the Twitch app, but in non-mobile news Livestreamer updated to 1.9 today. Some bug fixes and plugin changes, including an audio only twitch option. It still handles rtmp streams via rtmpdump though, so no nico support yet. :(

It's definitely handy, though it has problem with random streams, I'm guessing Chromecast just can't support all resolutions/rates or something.

I'm going to assume the resets are because he messed up and got exp.

For the lucky game it needs to be for exp and not coins (1/2 chance, unless the enemy has no coins) and then you have to actually lose the game (1/3 chance). So after most fights there's only a 1/6 chance of being able to progress.

At one point there's two fights in a row without a save between (Boomer & Exor), it ends up being a 1/18 chance to progress (1/2 * 1/3 * 1/3).

So basically it's a dumb gimmick category. :v:

Pull up a stream, hit the gear, select quality, hit apply.

It looks like Twitch ate the VOD of his entire stream that day. I don't think he records locally so it might just be lost to the aether. :(

The lower quality encodes are starting to show up. Had a slow start because I had to rework the scripts again, but now that I've started things are going pretty fast. Already trimmed up to Mega Man 6.
