it's fucking fantastic and broken as shit. according to the creator it isn't a "game" it's a virtual reality experience for orbs and karma or something? it's really weird. and it's a blideo blame.
...what? Gods. What the fuck did you find. Also my search for our copy of sms has resulted in failure. I probably need to buy a copy of sunshine. Fuck. Last ditch effort is it being at my place.
it's fucking awesome the animations are so shitty and the points systems are so weird and the level advancement makes no sense and hellooooooo cookie cutter levels
You're able to clip through a gate in Bombomb Battlefield via the constant backward momentum caused by fucking with the bombomb's existence and hitboxes. You get the piece of shit stuck in some sort of limbo state where it is constantly fat. This sets Mario's hitbox off a bit and causes the weird backward momentum thing. Edit to add: So basically we know why this actually works now. Potentially anyway. And knowing that is handy in terms of replicating it or finding other similar tricks that might help cut down time.
And parallel universes meanwhile, for the curious, cut off time by allowing them to skip draining the moat. Basically there are multiple exact copies of the floor and wall layouts of levels, but several other things are missing. Such as the water. So if you can get up to the proper speed and switching camera positions at the right moment you're able to skip having to drain the stupid moat and prevent a game crash from going into a pu. This essentially means that the first Bowser fight no longer needs to be done.
And with that said I have to say that I really respect the people who found out how the index values work in Ocarina of Time. Because that really has helped with being able to route the game and find new ways of doing this bullshit. Because we know the non-arbitrary shit going on behind our seemingly arbitrary bullshit. And that's just lovely. Numbers and coding types in general are lovely and I adore their additions to the community. I LOVE YOUR RESEARCH NUMBERS GUYS.
I love this weird glitch stuff. I barely understand of fraction of it, but in my mind, it chances the type of speedrun from 'player vs game' to 'player vs programmer' where the game is just the battlefield. Also I like imagining how it looks from an in-universe perspective.
I like like...AUs I guess where the glitches are canonically existent things. Like missingno is real and he can show up in Pokemon world via weirdly fucking with the code of the universe by accident. Or even intentionally. I like thinking about how people in the world would react to that sort of shit.
I once read a Pokemon fic written from the perspective of a Missingno, which had Team Rocket encounter it, resulting in James accidentally getting 255 roses. They were trying to duplicate a Master Ball but noticed the Missingno too late.
That feel when you're on pb pace and then fuck it up all at the end to the point where those minutes you saved mean nothing. God. Dammit. It wasn't even a hard thing. It was literally just me being a fucking idiot.
For context at the end of a paladin% run if you're not doing trashcan and carrot strats you need to change the formation so that the twins are in the back, otherwise Milon Z will oneshot them. I forgot to do this when healing everyone up after Milon and then I proceeded to not do it for like two minutes during the fight while wondering why people were dying more than normal.
"DKC1 - Any% Warpless No Major Glitches 101% KONG letters Except Mine Cart Carnage And That One K In Millstone Mayhem Except You Go Back And Get It Later Because The Chat Won't Shut Up About It And Also You Have To Play On A Keyboard And RTA Is Banned This Category Is Marathon Only Also Don't Forget To Follow Twitch.tv/joetherapper For More Memes" i wish i knew the context behind this meme category
Tempted to rewatch the Animorphs run that Keizaron did at a GDQ again. Which had such classic lines as "I actually didn't get WR, I lied. That was a meme" and "LION NO".
