Whenever Larry isn't in a Pokemon game, people should be asking "where's Larry?"

I haven't seen much on the Switch recently besides Tears of the Kingdom, and wow this Pokemon game looks real rough. Isn't this one fairly recent, too?

Based on the name and who's running it sounds like a Mario romhack full of shell jumps.

Twitch donation? Or maybe just admit you set poo poo too high this year and run it even though it doesn't get met.

i think botw is perfectly safe, we always see a huge burst on the last day and i expect it to really take off during mario maker 2 which is practically the centerpiece of the event

absolute worst case scenario, they move botw to later on if they really need to but i doubt they will

It may be, there's normally a big surge at the end, but 600k in 4 hours and change is pretty rough.

we've seen half a million in like half an hour before, we probably won't see that this year but i am unconcerned. i'll save my pessimism for if things look bad by halfway through mario maker 2.

Is the concept here that some of the locations / actions that usually have stars, just don't, and you're searching areas with the greatest density of possible star spawns?

Every are has the same number of stars it normally has, but they're shuffled within that area. He's routed out which 70 stars he's looking for to avoid 100 coins tars or red coins of bad areas or w/e.

So he'll know that there are, for isntance, 4 easy to get stars in TTC, he'll grab those then move on. They're random and he doesn't know where they are, but he knows there are 4 that'll just be hanging out and 1 in a box or w/e.

Ok yeah, this suffers badly from the "almost impenetrable if you haven't played the rando" syndrome that so many randomizers have. Still, it's SM64, and it's always fun to watch Mario bop around real fast.

LTTP is still the best and most understandable randomizer, nothing else quite matches the magic of that for me.

We're currently behind SGDQ 2017 (which didn't hit 2 million), and we're not seeing the donations pick up as much as they normally do at the end. It does feel a little dire dire docks.

I was hoping that mario 64 would pick it up but this is the wrong category and wrong couch for that. Way too low energy for primetime final day.

mario maker 2 itself is already happening, the incentive is just for a versus showcase and they will almost certainly hit that because the relay is going to get people pumped the gently caress up

this is a great category but it needs a spikevegeta on the couch

as is, this is like having puwexil commentate mario maker relays

Yeah, and I'm enjoying the run tbf, it's just the wrong energy for final day. Elden ring better do work, I think mario maker is an easy win but I want to see elden ring have a higher energy couch to get people more pumped up.

I strongly suspect we're also going to run into problems with the finale donation rush, simply because the final run is now starting at 2am Pacific time. Hard to build hype toward the finish when everyone is either asleep or dragging.

Agent355 posted:

Agreed, that one feels quite legible, though part of that has to be that I've played LTTP so many times and haven't touched SM64 since I was little.

Zelda 1 randomizer is also pretty good in that respect, since the dungeons can be randomized but the overworld isn't (in geography, enemies can be) it mostly speaks the same language as the base game but recreates the exploration factor.

Yeah agreed. I think the trick to randomizers is you need the base game to be pretty clear in progression. Bombs open bomb walls, hookshot crosses gaps.

Games that don't that (like m64) are missing the psuedo gambling excitement of 'oooh, will the next chest have the important item', and games that are too complicated and/or have glitches that break that format badly (like zootr) become hard to follow.

It's a fine line IMO

LTTP:super metroid combo randomizers or multiworld set ups are good marathon fodder IMO
