I guess I need to brush up on my Hylian more.

This better replace all of link's unintelligible grunts with "WAAA"

Exactly, and within a competitive context (where legitimacy matters) its up to the community to separate specific exploits from certain categories or rulesets to maintain fair game.

Transparency about tools used and what they do would help clear up a lot of confusion that this category of speedrun gets. The TASbot block in AGDQ helped, I hope more communities can do the same.

Assuming that there are no hiccups in the emulation you can take those inputs and have them playback on a programmable controller with no fault on a legitimate N64. However, TAS or not the speedrunners /technical players should be able to replicate this sooner or later now that they know what to do.

To me cheating in the context of a game is altering the code of said game to create a desired effect, separate to exploiting where something is being used unintentionally. The Idea of it being illegal completely depends on the context oh which it is framed.

They are not the same in the way they are achieved, yes. A TAS does allow for things that a human player can not do such as slow things down frame by frame, see into memory and use savestates. I was calling out HowardC, perhaps too vaguely on putting TAS on the same level as hacking. TAS does not alter anything in the…

You do know that TAS is literally the same as manual input as far as the game is concerned right?

Heck, just remove the first two d, first r and u. At least that's what they are to me after the removed the medium rare burger a few years ago.

If you are not running a money farm then I see absolutely no problem with with getting rid of gameplay effecting "donations". The methods that are still allowed (flat entry fee and cosmetics) should be more than enough to keep a good server afloat, servers aren't THAT expensive to run so a few people chopping in every…

"In the case that explicit constraints prevent the use of glitches, there are still a few points to clarify. First of all, it is quite difficult to objectively classify what is and is not a glitch." This is my biggest problem with the "They used a glitch, its not legit!" argument. Where is the line between a…

ZMOG YEW R SEW RITE! DAT RUNR UZS GLICHS CUZ DEY HAV KNO SKIL! *ahem* Yeah you would fit right in.

They must have crummy IVs then.

That's kinda the norm, all is going as it should.

Actually I think it will go by much quicker, the mob is getting slightly more coordinated and some of the major TM move roadblocks will be helped now that they can just press A on it.

Oh, so its Pokemon Red? That game was beyond glitchy.

I just grinded my characters and all the important jobs to max at ch 5 so that i could only worry about bosses for the rest of the game.

I get what you mean, I never really liked the trend of needing to ironsight to hit anything. It made the game super easy on a global sense for gunplay because it forced you to slow down and get in tunnel vision making you really easy to hit.

I would love it if someone ends up hijacking the the game into glitching once the hive-mind is smaller

Yeah I was hoping for a more configurable gaming mouse with extra buttons, not an island with limited practical applications due to a button budget.
