I am fine with the categories. Think about track and field. If you say you are the fastest person, then you generally have to qualify it with a distance. But should we get rid of all running events besides the 200m just because it is the highest speed one?

I dunno, holding a speed running record can mean a lot of things, those categories can be the difference between “I learned precise inputs on precise frames with small windows” and “I taught myself endurance to play a game for 9 straight hours” to “I am the best at improvising around RNG and optimally routing through…

I think it really is a more philosophical split. Gate Skip cuts out an entire section from the run involving Child Link. The effect of the trick is just as drastic as a hypothetical clip through the gate itself.

Ignoring the rare complexity of the trick (11-12 frame perfect inputs!) there’s the argument that it moves…

Seems fundamentally no different than “rocket jumping” (or I guess generally speaking “explosion boosting”) in any other game. He’s not passing through any solid walls or breaking the physics of the game in any way: he’s simply using insane skills and timing to redirect his momentum in mid-air to “jump” over a…

I feel like just based on the hard definition of the glitch term as used in speed-runs, this is just a skip right? Very interesting discussion though, thanks for posting Heather.

My wife and I have a dishwasher magnet, and no joke it has solved a lot of marital strife. It may sound minor, but the damn light on our dishwasher was not enough for us to tell when it was clean/dirty. And after enough times of squabbling about who did/didn’t do the dishes, and who messed up the clean dishwasher, we…

They may as well have just replaced Ash with Red if they did it for Brock and Misty. I mean what’s even the point of having Ash there now?

But like, why?

This is not cool. Brock and Misty are as much a part of the original series as Ash.

Soooo, basically....Final Fantasy-design-reject villains confirmed.

I still can’t get over his use of wasp-like body proportions for Kingdom Hearts. The waist is barely wider than the neck.

Belts? *squints* Belts.

Kind of just sounds like he wants to be able to drop F-bombs and generally be ~edgy~ without having to deal with the fact that his primary subscriber base is kids-to-teenagers playing a game he himself got into when he was a teenager. No problem with that, I feel; but let’s just call it what it is:

It was lucky it’s a non-issue. Those signs are generally there for a reason, and he had no reason to assume it wasn’t a big deal. The internet was right, and Mike Pence is an inconsiderate jackass.

The picture is still funny, no matter what.

So I watched the video because I didn’t want to misstate my defense of Heather.

Given the way that Twin Galaxies operates, it wouldn’t surprise me that Roger’s time is complete bullshit. They play favorites, and the fact that there is 0 physical evidence of this achievement (other than a piece of paper), the onus of proof is on the record holder.

Yeah I’m not sure how credible i can find a person or even a world record company when i see a 2nd place record that is in 5 digits, and the actual record is 8 digits long...that screams suspicious...even without the fact that THEY DIDNT VERIFY THIS UNTIL HE WORKED THERE?!?!. Add to it Donkey Kong crap that went down…

or you know...someone could have just plugged in their C-64 to the TV and built a copy of the winning screen in BASIC...then took a picture with the Atari in frame and the C64 out of it.

It was an interesting conundrum until the other ridiculous and discredited records were mentioned. Yeah, this guy’s a liar.
