Sonic block has started!

I wonder if it will have a classic single player mode

Use the website, it has an option to export your data to a file, and then import it. You don’t need any 3rd party apps or anything.

I’ve been using AviDemux, but this seems like it’s probably better?

here’s a good video essay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxOKEsBx4NU Ross’s Game Dungeon: Deus Ex

and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgJazjz9ZsA Deus Ex: Human Revolution is FINE, And Here’s Why

The Sonic block should be really good as usual. Doom 64 is cool, Quake 2, Half-Life 2, StarCraft.

Morrowind (All Main Quests) should be good, we usually see Any% which is too quick because the game is very exploitable lol.

Zelda Link to the Past - All Dungeons (Swordless) should also be cool, this game has a huge variety of glitches so when you do awkward categories like this you really see them all demonstrated.

Mario World Kaizo Relay Race should be fun. Also look out for the Mario 64 Randomizer played blindfolded!

We also have a silly games block starting with Golf It!, then Monster Party, Birds Aren’t Real: The Game, and more.

I feel the same way about the prequels, but I think the original game is the best game ever made.

I would suggest against GMDX for a first time playthrough, it changes A LOT. From the aesthetics, to the gameplay, to the sounds, the mood, the feel of the game, and the viable approaches in each level, there’s so much that’s changed it just isn’t the same game anymore.

You’re much better off with the Vanilla Fixer tool, Transcended, or Zero Rando (I’m the dev). You could also use Revision and toggle every setting to vanilla, but make sure you also disable the HDTP models, and disable Shifter and Biomod too, and definitely set the maps to vanilla.

ESPN has an esports section too lol https://www.espn.com/esports/ it seems to be abandoned though

this is in person

I agree about some gimmicks like 2 players 1 controller, or playing games with a dance pad or whatever, they seem difficult but still feel like gimmicks to me

4-way races are ok if you’re familiar with the game and speedrun already, but otherwise hard to watch

we’ve got a megathread for discussion over at [email protected] - https://programming.dev/post/16201685

but maybe there will be more discussion here instead?

anyways, it’s live now, HYPE! https://www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick

pretty funny to see Sports Illustrated doing an article about this https://www.si.com/esports/speedrunning/summer-games-done-quick-starts

seems like they have a branch “Esports Illustrated”

on Thursday, don’t miss Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball by Peanut Butter the Dog, live on stage this time! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZixOslQIgc

I’m also pretty hyped for the Sonic block on Monday: Sonic Project 06 (modded version of 06 so it’s actually good?), Sonic Robo Blast 2 (open source fangame in the Doom/GZDoom engine, actually probably the best 3d sonic game ever made), and Sonic 3 & Knuckles

btw we have [email protected]

The Summit app can to this

Agreed lol, and Threads

Semi off topic, but isn’t the subscriber count badge useless now since Lemmy fixed their reporting of that?

Plenty of site to participate in and plenty to talk/post about that doesn’t involve your thing.

I comment plenty, and anything else I want to post has already been posted. I guess the only way is to start following RSS feeds to post things more quickly lol. I’m not gonna do that though.

Also the fact that they count it site-wide instead of sub-wide means if you create your own sub or use an appropriate niche sub, you’re gonna screw up your own ratio.

It’s ok to have a rule like this in case of abusers. But I’m not being abusive about it, I’m not using AI, and I’m getting many upvotes. The 10% rule is incredibly strict if applied indiscriminately.
