Thread 715937574

pretty much the only game that's enjoyable to watch modern speedruns of, though my favorite runs will always be the early ones that had less glitches and more raw gameplay

>>715937574 (OP)
kino is on the menu

Guys, I don't feel so good....

>>715937574 (OP)
>b-b-but self-imposed challenges aren't fun
this niggah-san is based

I thought this guy stopped doing videos with commentary?

>>715937574 (OP)
i love this autistic nigga like you wouldnt believe

>>715941802
fuck had I watched just a few seconds more I would have seen the 12 DAYS LONG

>>715941802
>10 DAYS OF TAS

>>715941920
how the fuck do you "TAS" manually?
copy-paste the input for that section?

>>715937574 (OP)
oh shit new pannenkino

>>715941991
nevermind, I'm retarded, that's obviously how all TAS is done lol

I love autism

>>715941802
I laughed pretty fucking hard at this for some reason. Like uncontrollably hard

>>715941903
>I had come up with a theoretical strat that WOULD solve the tower, but I just didn't want to TAS it
so there is a theoretical limit to this mans autism after all

>trip down memory lane
aka: I haven't discovered anything new, here's some content for you autismos to fund my rent payment.

thoughts on this kino?

Kino.

>>715942379
yes and? better him than me

I wish I had this kind of autism for something in my life. It seems like it would be fulfilling.

>>715942439
He isn't ready. He has yet to take the blue pill.

>I tried a method and it didn't work
>Few years later, someone tried the same method with more understanding of the game and hit the one pixel spot to do it
I fucking love moments like these were the puzzle pieces were almost there but one element caused people to move away from a better solution.

>>715942379
>even the devs were lazy as fuck with the game and slapped it together on rushspeed in a few months
lol, that's a cute perspective you have

>>715942741
Same. The Windwaker barrier skip was always really interesting to me for the same reasons.

NAH THEY LAZY BRO, SHOULDA STARTED A PATREON AND LAUNCHED INTO EARLY ACCESS FOR SIX YEARS

shut the fuck up, jesus christ

an a press is an a press. You can't say it's only a half

>>715942134
Yeah, spending 15+ years analyzing every single pixel of the level geometry is fine, but doing the same thing over and over for 10 days, that's a bit too much

>>715942379
It is called depth and passion, you wouldn't understand because you spent your whole life consuming daily grind slop

>The Windwaker barrier skip
sounds interesting, which one is that?

>>715937574 (OP)
OH HELL YEAH

>>715941802
That was the most interesting part of the video and they didn't even use the strat.

>>715937574 (OP)
His videos and summoning salt almost makes speedrun look like something cool, then I try to watch some actual speedrunning content and it's fucking garbage, kinda crazy to think that it's a hobby where the history of the achievements is interesting but the hobby itself if unbearable

>26:05 But then, we had a breakthrough that changed *everything*
He could have added a pause or a musical build up here for dramatic effect

>>715943321
requiring mathematics to explain a concept is the opposite of intuition retardbro. that's a calculation

>>715943487
speedrunning is basically just gambling for dudes with crippling autism
99% of the time they're just rolling the RNG dice to see if they get the dopamine hit of a PB

>>715943487
Techniques and game/engine knowledge are interesting. Repeating the same exact sequence of inputs while seeing the same outcome for hundreds of hours with little to no variation is boring as shit.

>>715943214
The invisible barrier that prevents you from going straight to Ganon's castle when you first get down to Hyrule. It basically lets you skip the latter half of the game, and I think there's been several methods that let you get through it once the initial skip was found.

>>715943610
>>715943487

What are some speedruns that are entirely up to skill? I like Mario Kart 64 but the 25% chance for those mushrooms that far in I can imagine would drive some insane

>>715943074
why doesn't he apply his "passion" to engineering or something important, than this retarded children's game shit. He's just an autist feeding other manchild autists with more of their bing bing wahoo nintendo autism

>>715943548
>mathematics
Dude opened the level in an editor and viewed the hitbox data. That's not mathematics, that's data analytics. You're like that meme calling installing a RAM stick "inventing a computer

>>715942741
I've always wondered this about TASes in general. I think there is some bruteforcing done, but my understanding is that for the most part its still basically people inputting stuff. I wonder how they can be so confidant that a series of inputs is actually completely optimal. It seems like new TASes are only created when new tech / strategies are discovered too.

Is it just the amount of time that goes into a TAS, so there just aren't that many? If more people did it, could you have a TAS which just had more optimal movement in a few places?

>>715943773
>why doesn't he apply his "passion" to engineering or something important
you can't choose what you love, it's a function of your nature
>retarded children's game shit
where do you think you are?

>>715942912
In the end your reasoning is "I worship Nintendo"
Great job

>>715943610
somehow I never made that connection, now speedrunning makes more sense to me

>you can't choose what you love, it's a function of your nature
Explain "nature" to speedtrannies, they might need that lecture.

A man's "nature" is to fight in a war. That's why he likes competitive shit. Your natural inclination towards meticulous things is being misdirected down the shithole

>>715937574 (OP)
>10 days of non-stop TAS to avoid pressing a button
is this what pure undiluted autism looks like?

>>715937574 (OP)
I'd go to a movie theater to watch this guys videos if I could

test

>>715944007
What's that TAS-button presses to game-button press skipped conversion ratio?
How many times could you complete Mario 64 with the same inputs? lol

>>715943981
Nintendo's products are intended for children between the ages of 8 and 14.
Their games are not even particularly well designed, especially these days. And mostly rely on the cuteness of the characters, and nostalgia. Japanese love worshiping corporatins, but it's strange to see a western person doing the same.
The hype around Nintendo is just pure brand worship. You want your cute smiting nonverbal characters who make their "bing bing wahoo" noises with intentionally janky game mechanics.

You know that Mario 64 is filled with puzzles, and you can just longjump right over 60% of them? That's poor game design. That's because the game is a busted, janky, shitty pile of nuts and bolts which you're treating as the Torah itself.

>>715943773
anyone can play a video game in their room. getting a job or something has more barriers and is harder to do. he took the easy choice

>>715944007
to be fair, he didn't do it. just theorized it

>>715943982
Nice /v/ post. No really, it's great. Real nice.

>>715944118
>you can't choose what you love, it's part of your nature
a lot of people sure love eating donuts. Once again their natural inclination to pack rat for the winter is being misapplied.
The solution is to recognize where you're fucking up and change yourself, not to embrace the dysfunction with open arms

Cool, but a new Glick-kino too is out and that takes precedence.

>>715944083
>Japanese love worshiping corporatins, but it's strange to see a western person doing the same.
lol, whatever you say Schlomo

>>715944178
Sure, that sounds rational.
God bless pannenkoek for not being rational.

>>715941874
He started again a while back

>>715944353
You know how many glitchy janky ass games there are? Instead he keeps repeatedly grinding this one game over and over, for decades of his life, the same 20-odd levels. Over and over

Reverse engineering and spreading said findings for educational purposes seems like a very productive and healthy thing to do

PANNEN SOLD OUT!!! BRING THE FUCKING A PRESS SAVES OR GTFOHHHH!!!!!

>>715944537
That sounds like something TJ """""Henry""""" would say

>>715937717
a setup to get on the Rainbow Ride roof without a carpet get invented recently
sadly it's multiple frame perfects iirc so I will never

lolwut

>>715943810
If you look at tasvideos.org, there are plenty of TASes which are more or less the same as a previous TAS but with slight optimizations. TASes like this don't flood the website though since most people don't bother making a new submission until there's been a substantial amount of improvement. For example, the SM64 120 star TAS on tasvideos is from 2012. The community has been actively working on the game the entire time, they just don't bother to assemble every star into a single project file and make a new submission. The most optimal star times are logged in a spreadsheet, and in total there's been almost 5 minutes saved over the 2012 TAS.

TASes that are verifiably 100% impossible to optimize are extremely rare due to the inherit complexity of most video games. They are exclusive to simple games that can be programmatically brute forced. The TAS for Arkanoid on the NES is a good example of this. The game was reimplemented in C++ and a brute force program tried every possible way of hitting the ball in each level until the most optimal solutions were found.

Why can't I reach this level of dedication and skill in anything?

>>715937574 (OP)
>convenient RNG in the real run for coins
How does setting up those work?

>>715947502
the way the RNG works can be manipulated. it basically runs through a predictable series of values every time something calls the function, so you can call it a determined number of times (by doing stuff like creating smoke particles) to end up on the value you want

>>715947502
He explains it in one of his videos:
https://youtu.be/nYDmBdUalgo&t=1467

>>715941920
>And you guys thought 12 hours was bad.
I laffed

>>715949109
>>715949184
Huh, so they have to find a suitable position in the long RNG sequence, keep track of it and then time dust spawns correctly to setup the coin variables, all weaved into the other movement. Doing TAS seems like a open ended puzzle game in itself.

>>715943252
does he fart with that ass

>>715949983
they do some much insane shit for the A button challenge, a few centuries ago it'd be considered heretic

>>715945904
To reach skill you need understanding. You need to understand when you're making brush strokes based on muscle memory rather than how you want an artpiece to turn out. You need understanding to know how your favorite car turns differently on asphalt, dirt, mud, and in the rain. You need to actually be able to picture something in your head before you're just able to *do* it. There's a difference between simply doing something and actually improving. Making improvement. Trying to be better. There's tons of theory behind just about anything and you need to find the right balance of both to improve.

There is literally no advice for dedication besides just doing it so if you fail at that point then lol. If anything, make an actual study plan and schedule. Set up alarms or some shit. Slap yourself in the balls 10 times if you don't do it. Whatever it takes.

>>715943773
how do you know he hasn't? prolly has some big brain computer job, he doesn't seem like a neet

>>715944083
there are no puzzles in Mario 64 Rajesh

>>715943773
He had a full time job, this was his hobby until this year where he decided to go fulltime on youtube. Wouldn't surprise me if he was a codepisser. Please share your hobbies anon and how much they are meaningful

In this house , TJ "Henry" Yoshi is a hero, end of story.

tj "henry" yoshi is really depressing and naive

>>715942439
The new TJ "Henry" Yoshi? I honestly feel bad for the guy, he's still getting "half A press jokes years afterwards"

>>715943982
Go die for israel alone you retard nobody's stopping you faggot

>>715953082
In this video, I will be explaining exactly what I do to kill TJ "Henry" Yoshi in 0.5x A presses.

>>715943982
>A man's "nature" is to fight in a war.
Yeah retard, being starved and cold in a wet hole and having your guts cooked by a drone from some fat faggot in a bunker really activates my hyperborean aryan faustian vrill. Underage faggot.

>>715937574 (OP)
I'm so glad this guy is having fun sharing Mario with us instead of engineering weapons of war or Silicon Valley weapons of psychological war

>>715952965
I don't know how true this is, but I recall reading that he was a teacher with a formal education in computer science. That about tracks with what he's doing now considering that beneath the veneer of Mario 64 his videos teach introductory computer science concepts.

>>715954964
He's really good at teaching technical intuition and visualizations if nothing else.

>>715954964
Imagine coming to class and having the pancake man explain floating point arithmetic to you using Super Mario 64 as a teaching aid. And then you ask to borrow a pencil.

I don't care what retard you get to narrate it, I'm not going to pretend Mario 64 is interesting or a good game.

>>715955454
>go into a Mario thread to complain about Mario
What a snoy thing to do, lol.

>>715943773
Having this niche is infinitely more valuable than becoming a cog in the machine for Mr Shekelstein

holy kek

>>715943803
>>715943321
fighting game fags do this and then get to test their knowledge live against someone else

>>715941991
some TASes are made by bots now. Usually for simple games where you're doing something like checking the angle/power of every shot you can take and seeing what gives the best results. I think some ultra specific set ups like bit clips in banjo kazooie are found by bots too.

>>715943712
super metroid
though it has random elements like boss patterns that can save or lose a lot of time

>>715945904
>>715952667
you need to have autism to dedicate yourself to something
the problem is your autistic interest is completely unproductive 99% of the time and it's impossible to make yourself care and put the same kind of effort into anything else

for me it's certain multiplayer video games

>>715943970
you never made that connection because its obviously fucking retarded. this is like calling a jump shot "RNG". 99% of it is skill which is why top players aren't random and there are commonly players that can come a long and dominate, like greensuigi for SM64 who took all 5 categories and made them all his bitch, long after everyone thought the game was too optimized to go much further
