Kikas posted:Seriously tho, a random Peaches shoiwng up and playing Typing of The Dead was pretty cool for NASA. Yea I was actually in town to visit family, and ACEN was going on in the area so I showed up for a bit and hung out with cyghfer, who told me NASA was going on (I had no idea it was that weekend). I pulled into the parking lot for NASA and naegleria was walking around and told me the next several runners were busy with a game of Werewolf, and if I wanted to give them time to finish up I could run Typing of the Dead since someone brought their dreamcast copy. Pretty good series of coincidences. I thought nasa was a good time, it felt like older gdq's. Most people mention the small size or the un-PC atmosphere but the thing I missed the most about older gdq's was how easy it was to just wander up and sit right behind the couch and watch a game or runner I've never heard of before from the TV they're playing on. The whole stage/crowd audience thing of recent gdq makes it feel disconnected as an IRL viewer. The other stuff kinda shines through on stream so I thought I'd just throw that out there as attendee feedback. Also old gdq's were pretty lovely logistically so I hope nobody takes nasa's hiccups as a sign that the community shouldn't challenge the status quo of speed marathons.

Yeah cuz RPGLB and ESA and DeuceCon weren't already showing that smaller marathons can work and be a lot of fun.  RPGLB last year in particular was like stepping into a time machine back to the first SGDQs. Except strangely we were a LOT better about keeping the house clean this time around.

Oh, I just wanted to say that because I saw several tweets blasting nasa for production related stuff. Either deucecon and rpglb went a lot smoother or everyone just wants to poo poo on naegleria, either way I just thought the standards were a little high for a first-time community marathon.

baram. posted:tasbot has shown they can do exactly that, though. Yeah that's what brought it to mind. I mean when TAS input can implement whole other games in SMW, you start to think that maybe it could input something else that forces auto-scrollers to behave like normal scrolling levels for the rest of the run. And that would completely change how TAS runs of all-exits SMW get done.

Once you do anti-autoscroll stuff you're well into Arbitrary Code Execution and you're competing with credits warps. What you guys describe sounds cool but it's a bit of a no-man's land, categorically speaking

NASA has been an incredibly fun marathon, the main draw to me is the sense of inclusion because of how few people there were. No* stream monsters is such an amazing thing. Everyone pretty much got to know everyone, it wasn't just cliques with cliques (other than the loving mumble crew but they still would hang out with everyone most of time). Also the venue was fuckin incredible and the food and things around the hotel were awesome. Also there was a good arcade like a 15 minute drive away

I was just thinking about how sad and mad I am that The Sunday Sequence Break is done. Can we make it come back somehow? If not, is there some equivalent, maybe 3/4s as good? I'd take that.

and one more thing and I'm done, but for anyone who likes seeing the broad sweep of everything going on lately, but also enjoys hearing about the mechanics of any given run in a really straightforward way...it's perfect... so much better than agdq for that because there's no extra bullshit, it's all straight and to the point. and on the other hand you don't have to stalk runner streams for hours and hours slowly learning about each trick. someone make a new one I'll pay some money for that

Hey guys, a little request for an idea I'm trying to flesh out: Could someone point me towards a list of, or just mention them here, some of the more iconic movement techs in speedrunning? I'm talking about things like the Mario 64 infinite stair "butt bounce", Shinesparking, or whatever it's called in Castlevania SOTN when you slip around everywhere.

Hello Kitty Roller Rescue has collide-boost where grinding against objects makes you go faster because the game applies axis speeds separately. Sonic Colors has the B-boost cancel where cancelling your boost and holding forward after a quick boost causes you to go faster because the boost is programmed with a falloff.

Luna Was Here posted:Also how welcome are emulators in speed runs? Depends entirely on the game and its community.

If you don't care about trying to hit world records and being twitch famous + rich for playing an obscure game fast, then who cares?

The best speedrunning movement is ABH in source games, especially when they're doing it while also portalling through the walls and into the eighth dimension. As for emulators, it kind of depends on the community, since some consoles are emulated better than others and rules are basically made by whoever got there first and took the leaderboard moderation spot. In terms of buying a PS2, though, can't you get them for $20 on ebay or something at this point?

Don't forget that a lot of games re-released on the Virtual Console emulators tend to be ok for records (sometimes intheir own categories) even when other emulators aren't allowed.

Yeah the schedule came together pretty nicely, our event doesn't have much draw in the community since we got kind of upstaged when SGDQ moved into town last year. People would rather only be stuck in Minnesota if there are going to be a lot of their internet friends there too.
