new instance, intro time: i'm tiyenti. i'm sometimes good at video games

i'm probably most "known" for Distance, although on the side i have a minor interest in TGM and , and sporadically some other games. rarely, i may even post about some or other interests of mine

i'm not super outgoing so i'll likely be mainly lurking around and shouting into the void, but i ain't gonna complain if you wanna shout back. see ya 'round

Also, more "doing-silly-stuff-during-unskippable-sections" shenanigans- James gets bored and shoots the word "PWNED" into some bulletproof glass, leaving Natalya to focus on that whole "saving the world" thing

I watched a Goldeneye TAS recently that features a fun part: James Bond inexplicably grows a third hand (two hands operating his wrist laser, one holding a gun) on the train level (specifically, the part where you have to shoot out the floor panel to escape)

I like to imagine that he didn't actually grow a third hand, but rather wedged the gun into his left armpit and let loose, leaving his other hands free lmao

Helping a friend here: Does anyone know of a good video/audio capture that will work with modern computers (Windows 10/11, OSX) that can accept older video inputs? This might even involve something like a RCA to upscaler/converter into a capture device that uses HDMI.

Any guidance or boosts for visibility highly appreciated!

Thankfully, someone answered it for us! According to the commenter below, apparently using the horn extends your hitbox, and the exit to the level is immediately on the other side of the level start; thus, using the horn extends your hitbox over the level exit, allowing you to complete it instantaneously!

I always love neat skips like that in speedrunning lol, especially if they're kinda silly, as in this case :)

Rewatching the TAS of "The Mask" that I posted recently, I noticed that an entire level was skipped (left gif) by using the bicycle-horn-thingy that appears in the film (gif). How is this possible??

A new Tool-Assisted Speedrun of Sonic 3 and Knuckles (Knuckles playthrough) dropped 2 weeks ago, and it has one of the most mind-bending moments I've ever seen in a TAS. All I can say is that a "Tails jumpscare" is involved lmao

I love it when Tool-Assisted Speedruns do creative stuff like this during unskippable sections in games. It's like the speedrunner is winking at you and saying "check THIS out ;)" lol

Heck yeah, 1:28! I think that pretty much ends my brief story arc. I could potentially shave off another minute or two with some more practice and better luck, but I'm not concerned about my exact time. I just wanted to crack the 1:30 mark.

Just did another 100% run. Got 1:31, which is my best time thus far. I had been hesitant to say what my times were, but after looking at the leader boards it seems like 1:31 is actually pretty good. I don't have any ambitions of holding any records or anything, but I'd love to get under 1:30 and I think I could do it if I had a run where I didn't mess up a whole bunch of stuff.

Please tune in to twitch.tv/ausspeedruns this week to cheer on the runners! They're live non-stop until sunday.

@tess Hah, something very similar happened in earlier this year: someone flexed some new & sharpened speedrunning techniques to beat the 20+ year old record for E2M6 with about a second. Days later, the original record holder during all those years shows up, improves the record further, and takes back the crown. 👑
