I'd imagine it's probably a sort of mixed feeling for the game designer. On the one hand, you have these people who are exposing every single flaw and unintended interaction in your game and that's probably at least a little embarrassing. On the other hand, holy poo poo that guy has spent 5,000 hours playing SotN, which means you've made a game somebody's willing to devote 5,000 hours to.

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

That sort of thing's going to depend on the designer and their personality. I can see perfectionist designers, for example, reacting badly, but I think it's safe to assume that if he was going to do that he wouldn't have agreed to the video.

I fought the lava, and the lava won.
There's a video where the leads at Double Fine watch a speedrun and provide some commentary on the glitches as it goes.

There are also various Nintendo titles where the re-releases patched out some of the glitches speedrunners had discovered.

Reactions pretty literally span the entire spectrum.

"the sky is blue."

Sure, now it's 254 more blue than before. Also my hat is the entire 200.6% of the castle. The only thing that can kill me is myself if I wear the rig of cards on accessory slot 2

Two paths diverged in a forest, and I have travelled both at least 2,000 plus times so I can say for certain which one is shorter if you’ve drained enough blood with your demon sword

Hi again everyone! I've done a little work on the OP and changed the links to the first 10 episodes to be image based. Downside is my bad wisecracks about the events of the game are gone.

Is this formatting preferable for you as I'll see to continue it into future LPs if so.

Why

why would you do that

bring them back

(And if you're talking about the pics in the OP, straight downgrade imo. Too big (I'd make them about the size of the "Episodes" pic or not much bigger), not separated so they blend together, very visibly filtered background clashing with crisp text)

If the compression/upscaling in the image links is in the videos, definitely stick with text links. Otherwise I'd suggest upscaling to even multiples of 100% and using the Bilinear/Nearest Neighbor filters.

I agree that the image links are too tall; they should be no taller than the "episodes" image. Length is fine; you're not breaking tables or anything. Also definitely space them out a bit; one line should do the trick.

I think the short description is nice, can be funny and if someone would ever want to look for "the episode where he does this", it's easier like that. So like:


In which Nat 20 discovers that it's Jigglypuff from above!

Should work out, and space the images as well.

I'd have missed that subtitle. It'd be much better in the pic, as a smaller white text below the main one.
