    What is that throne of stone shirt? I like the design but have no idea what it is

    Fire Emblem Sacred Stones, I think?

    Some good runs today. Lots of humor which has made work much better than usual. Really hoping for the Belatro run to make it in because i haven't seen it played before so it will be completely new to me.

    My favorite highlight of the day was Sent's mom making him buy new pants and he had to show off the tags to prove they were new

    Also the games or whatever

    Yeah I can't believe he got up on stage with those pants. I mean I'm not saying you need to dress up but those pants were absolutely destroyed.

    The Balatro run was fairly tense since he got the absolute shittiest rng for quite a few runs in a row

    The Outlast 2 playthrough accidentally got marked on Twitch as "Outpost 2: Divided Destiny".

    ...I am now sad that one of my favorite retro RTSes didn't make it to the stage.

    I think they just took a mulligan on the plasma deck since they were not getting the RNG and skipped on to the other two decks they were going to run



    The megaman X5 run this morning had good banter, was a fun watch

    God I love void stranger but watching it speedrun necessarily means spoiling a huge pile of secrets that discovering yourself is half the fun of playing, alas

    The banter on this Kirby Air Ride race is very funny. High recommend watching later if you aren't seeing it now.

    Super "sonic saves the world" world was a great run and commentary yesterday

    Also a hack that kills Shoujo 59 times is terrifying.

    the rabbit and steel showcase is coming up, that should be fun
    hoping they meet the red darkhouse incentive for it too

    That Peanut Butter run was fucking insane. And the ending! Just phenomenal.

    Swordless LttP run just started for those interested, looks very fun with good runner and couch.

    Glitchy as hell, of course. But on the other hand, this technically is a run Link's uncle survives isn't it?

    I love Sent, but man am I glad he still has his mom in the corner of the boxing ring looking out for him.

    Anyone got a timestamp on this? Would love to see that.

    I too want to see these shredded pants. These days you can get away with it as a style choice.

    I’ve never actually played sotn but that run yesterday was sweet and now I’m playing it normally and damn I’m getting wrecked by the actual first boss. I’ve played plenty of other vanias and likes. The answer is dodge more attacks but the execution is me constantly being animation locked

  • BahamutZEROBahamutZERO Registered User regular
    the sotn-style castlevanias are all about animation locks and spacing and back dashing, yeah. They're kind of like dark souls fighting games in that way.

    Sotn let's you break animation locks though. You can backdash after attacks at any point if I remember right. And attacking in the air and landing mid attack also ends recovery. In fact air attacking landing and attacking again is a great way to double hit quickly

  • Raiden333Raiden333 Registered User regular
    That blindfolded Mario 64 randomizer run was utterly insane.

  • fortyforty Registered User regular
    The blindfolded achievements keep getting more and more absurd.

  • ReznikReznik Registered User regular
    great event. Peanut Butter with best run.

    I really want to try speedrunning myself, but I mostly play old JRPGs and aside from the Lufia II memory corruption glitch oof they are all fairly huge timesinks.

    I tried playing Ken Griffey after seeing the PB run.

    PB is waaaaaay better than I am.

  • enlightenedbumenlightenedbum Registered User regular
    Once you get good at fielding it's pretty easy.

    Auto fielding helps a fair amount. I can't hit a ball to save my life, though. PB has good timing.

  • bwaniebwanie Posting into the void Registered User regular
    I'm just not that big on peanut butter so it's hard to motivate myself.

  • initiatefailureinitiatefailure Registered User regular
    started going back over the vods and had to skip MM9 because i was like 10 minutes in ready to kill the guys trying to be comedians on the couch talking over the guy giving real commentary on the game and explaining things.

    I personally found that banter to be pretty funny and enjoyed the run, but there have been very similar situations where the couch is providing anti-commentary where it drives me up a wall so I get it. A bunch of people dinking around on the couch is going to always turn off some people, especially if it's really raucous.

    I loved the MegaMan 9 run. There really isn't a ton of things to explain for that one anyway. It's a pretty normal run just done well. So the hilarious banter of not even knowing what's going oneshed perfectly.

  • initiatefailureinitiatefailure Registered User regular
    i think if i had to pick something out about why that one bugged me vs others with fun jokey couches that I enjoy is it felt more like they were doing it over top of someone trying to be helpful and serious and man I feel the struggle of that one guy.

  • BeastehBeasteh THAT WOULD NOT KILL DRACULARegistered User regular
    My fav runs are where the runner and host are really good friends and riff off each other + don't cut each other off awkwardly
