Surprised they're so negative towards pokemon puzzle league. Puzzle speedruns are incredible to watch imo Its just too large at this point and needs to go sub mode only (Which would probably drive more donations). But people bitch on SDA Forums so its never gonna happen even though we have 3-4 poverty chats AND the IRC chat we can use to chat about SGDQ so there is zero reason as to why the GDQ twitch chat isn't sub mode only | ||

But people bitch on SDA Forums so its never gonna happen even though we have 3-4 poverty chats AND the IRC chat we can use to chat about SGDQ so there is zero reason as to why the GDQ twitch chat isn't sub mode only Maybe it's just a tough call since there was a slight "fiasco" where there was a donation incentive (or something along those lines) for there to be sub mode only. Oh wait, I think it was sub mode only, and there was a donation incentive to free the chat for one hour per $1k donated to it (think it reached over 10k?). Yada yada yada, it wasn't followed through properly, riots ensue, then the organizer stated that it wasn't an authorized incentive, free chat ever since? Somebody please correct me. Haha. I haven't had much sleep. | ||

At the end of super Metroid there is a room you can go into and release these animals that are trapped it's out of the way for a speed run but people were showing it off and it eventually became this big thing where people would donate if someone would save or leave the animals to die on Zebes | ||

There is actually a "bid war"...the side that gets more donations gets to determine the faith of the "animals". I'm not exactly sure how it is now, but last night the announcer said it was pretty even (IIRC). | ||

Although they probably understand the engine and the way devs create rooms and set up rules and go from there but it's still amazing Basically we knew about wet storage which was actually a much more interesting route and more impressive IMO From wet storage we found dry storage From Dry storage we found chest storage From chest storage we found lots of out of bound clips The rest is just finding more and more out of bound clips. Once you know what you are looking for its really not hard to find | ||

In theory no game other than Super Mario bros and Barney's Hide and Seek adventure is truly optimized (I'm probably missing another game or two that are as fast as a TAS). But this game is still somewhat far from being perfected in my opinion. Games this broken tend to end up more broken so who knows what the route will look like next year | ||
