Another 3rd place finish in #Unless! This one took me 3 play sessions before I figured out my optimal path through the level, then maybe an hour refining my execution.

Summoning Salt released a video about the early years of speedrunning Super Mario 64 in the 120 star category. 
For this legacy he decided to split the history into several videos, so this is only the beginning and there is more to come in the future...

The runs are in the validation queue right now so it's not officially accepted but today I did a new sub-10min Personal Best in Solo and Coop 2P Any% on Sworn and it feels really cool.
Still lots of room for improvement (WR is ~7min) but the progress is really feeling great.

Yes, the renewed analog sticks brought the new PB. 
One month after I started derusting I broke my 1½ years old record in the Any% Glitchless category of Metroid Dread by nearly half a minute live in the Fediverse. 
The first half of the run went so bad but then the usual runkiller tricks worked flawlessly and the pace began, leading to two gold splits and a new Personal Best of 1h 37m 13s.

Super Nintendo Hardware Is Running Faster as It Ages

｢ the obscure discovery does highlight the fact that old consoles’ performance is not frozen at the time of their release date, and that they are made of sensitive components that can age and degrade, or even ‘upgrade’, over time ｣

We published our first game "Yokai Parade"!
https://s4g.itch.io/yokai-parade
It's a colorful platformer with hand-drawn assets in a unique style.
You are a cat yokai 
that is too late to the big yokai parade because they slept in (the evening before may or may not have involved catnip). "Borrow" powers of other yokai to make it to the parade quicker and get a good spot!
Made with @godotengine as part of our first semester project by the 7 peeps of the team "Pretentious Possums". Playable directly on @itchio and downloadable for Linux and Windows.

SNES-Konsolen laufen heute schneller als vor 30 Jahren. Ein Hardware-Problem bringt die #Speedrunning-Community ins Schwitzen.

Yesterdays Metroid Dread stream I started with an explanation of the Early Screw Attack Glitchless trick. 
Usually we need the Gravity Suit to get out of the water to reach the capsule containing the Screw Attack ability. 
But by using some exploits we can get the item without yet having the suit. 
I got a 3rd place top time in #Unless! It took me about an hour to shave off the last two frames(.033 seconds), but wow, I've never been this high on a leader board before.
Also, the developer put an extra graphic on the level complete screen for a top 3 finish, I wonder what percentage of players ever see that.

“Twitch cited the "costly" indefinite #storage of these #highlights, which it says are responsible for "less than 0.1% of hours watched" across the site. These highlights "haven't been very effective in driving discovery or #engagement with viewers," #Twitch wrote […].”
“The #speedrunning community seems particularly likely to be negatively affected by Twitch's move.”

Apparently, speedrunners are unwitting "cyber heroes" cracking game codes while munching #Doritos. Who needs years of #cybersecurity training when you can just play games really fast? 
Maybe next, we'll learn that binge-watching Netflix makes you a film critic.

Today's stream I started with an introduction to the One Cycle Drogyga trick in Metroid Dread.
Usually it requires at least two cycles to defeat this boss, but this trick reduces it to one and therefore saves up to twenty seconds during the run.
