I tuned in to AGDQ just in time to see the first-ever Terraria marathon run by erstwhile twitch streamer TVGBadger and omg is he having a terrible time. technical difficulties out the wazoo & he's already busted his estimated time. I wonder if they're going to have to give him the boot. This is literally the worst speed run I've ever seen
― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 8 January 2020 03:29 (four years ago) link
they totally had to kick him off the stage after the server bugged out for the umpteenth time. I feel so sorry for the dude

never mind he's being made into memes for positivity now

Ha yeah heard about it but I got the impression it was entertaining and positive somehow?
― Evan, Thursday, 9 January 2020 01:04 (four years ago) link
my wife saw and thought it was pretty cool

badger is relentlessly positive and entertaining as a streamer. I’m glad to see it worked out in his favor

When Arcus eventually grows a moustache and starts wearing the cowboy hat I was like "OHHH THAT GUY!!"
I'll always be fascinated by him, wondering if anyone in his life was concerned when the sudden cowboy transformation wasn't just a phase, and criticizing him for not getting a job then realizing he makes decent enough money playing frickin NES in his house all week as if it were a 9-5 (Look I don't know how much he makes but streamers with that ~500 regular viewer count can apparently afford rent and food from what I hear. We'd all probably be a bit surprised by how much they actually make? I don't know. It's not something they talk about!).
― Evan, Saturday, 16 May 2020 21:15 (four years ago) link
i kinda like that guy, thanks for introducing me to him

Couldn't sleep so I watch this 60 minute one on Mike Tyson's Punch-Out also made by SummoningSalt. Great stuff too, with... a teeny bit of a twist ending. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBR9ypSOTGQ

Ok I'm finding this Ninja Gaiden video much more engrossing than expected.
It helps that I used to play this game all the time, I would get to the last boss (or just before) but never quite finished it. And also that the speed run doesn't involve any stupid glitches or zips, just familiar aspects of the game that I remember using just to get through.

for some reason the video Nhex posted 4 days ago isn't working for me. can someone post the name of the video so i can search it on youtube?

i think it was summoning salt's ninja gaiden video

i overthink things so much
i guess what arcus is doing is no more or less normal than anybody else in 2020, his life is no more or less normal than mine
it's not so much the cowboy hat or the bolo tie, but the cowboy hat and bolo tie open me up more to questioning things i guess? how does one get to a point where one says "you know what i'm just gonna play ninja gaiden 8 hours a day for a living" (i mean i assume he keeps a regular schedule, the video didn't mention it but he seems well-adjusted so i imagine he's got that part of it sorted)
i don't say that to judge him, i'm not gonna be some damn boomer complaining about the kids and their avocado toast. i don't think his career choice is any less worthwhile than mine. that's what i think about. it's so fucking absurd.
and i'm tying that into nancy this week where there's the storyline with the magnet school where everyone is The Best at something. that's the pressure everyone's under, right? you gotta be #1. it doesn't matter if the thing you're #1 at is meaningless and absurd, and i just think of milton, "better to reign in hell". and why not, after all? this is hell.
― Kate (rushomancy), Thursday, 21 May 2020 13:04 (four years ago) link
i would do what arcus was doing, if i was good enough. he's also one of the best streamers on twitch, not in terms of his skill but because he is a good guy and completely stands out among his screaming, loudmouthed, boring peers
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 21 May 2020 15:47 (four years ago) link
i guess that's the other thing that makes me wonder about arcus, just the fact that he is a pretty professional, put-together guy. a lot of these streamers, i just figure they stream because they're not cut out for anything else (and, you know, fair enough). arcus just has such composure!
― Kate (rushomancy), Thursday, 21 May 2020 15:51 (four years ago) link
i watched that youtube documentary about ninja gaiden speedruns last night, it was great!!
arcus just has such composure!
i liked this youtube comment:
wwwaldo3334 days agoArcus barely loses a 1/27,000 run to minor tail RNG after spending literal years in the attemptArcus: darn.

Turns out that Ninja Gaiden streamer is a pretty pandemic-proof job.
― change display name (Jordan), Thursday, 21 May 2020 16:00 (four years ago) link
he probably doesn't even know what's happening in that world. and he may already have a bunch of masks, as i'm assuming at least some fans have sent him replica ninja gaiden Ryu costumes through the years
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 21 May 2020 16:15 (four years ago) link
by "that world", i mean "this world"
hard to tell the difference sometimes
Ryukahr has that same vibe. mellow powerplay video game streamers are my jam
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Thursday, 21 May 2020 16:18 (four years ago) link
ooh, i don't know Ryukahr! i will check them out
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 21 May 2020 16:23 (four years ago) link
oh lord, i am COMPLETELY hooked on Ryukahr.Try here as a nice place to start:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arV86_1iPC0
And here's a completely unbelievable mario world romhack speedrun from him for thread accuracy:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8mLT9gM5EA
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Thursday, 21 May 2020 16:34 (four years ago) link
i've watched literally hundreds of his mario gameplay videos and still load them up the instant he posts a new one.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Thursday, 21 May 2020 16:37 (four years ago) link
Big same, my youtube diet is 98% Bon Appetit and Ryukahr at this point. It's just very satisfying to see him working through these levels (without having to sit through every full attempt).
― change display name (Jordan), Thursday, 21 May 2020 18:00 (four years ago) link
he's good! what's the deal with that ROM hack, did he co-create it?
― Nhex, Thursday, 21 May 2020 22:42 (four years ago) link
also one thing i keep wondering is how the runners are capturing the segment times during play. is it something in the PC or twitch software and they hit a physical button?
― Nhex, Thursday, 21 May 2020 22:43 (four years ago) link
Super Ryu World 1 and 2 were made for him; both are loads of fun to watch.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Thursday, 21 May 2020 22:51 (four years ago) link
xp it's a separate piece of software that lets them set up their splits and usually the streamers will either have it update when they hit a key like spacebar or if they're reeal fancy a footswitch
― lumen (esby), Thursday, 21 May 2020 23:19 (four years ago) link
I made a big goofy post last year about some rom hacks i enjoyed (spectating!) if anyone's been getting into this stuff
which mario games are not easy?
― lumen (esby), Thursday, 21 May 2020 23:24 (four years ago) link
I watched through the Punchout video then stumbled across this - apparently the only video footage of Matt Turk completing one of his many world records. Some nice comments from him about the speed run community in pre-streaming days
