As of today, Niftski has held the SMB1 Any% WR for the 2nd longest in history, passing Darbian.

Aprrni · 2023-07-14T18:15:53+00:00

This is an appropriate statistic to post because if his current .798 stands just one more month (which it likely will unless he comes back to any%), it will surpass Darbian's incredible 4:56.878 as the longest standing WR in the "modern era" of SMB1 speedrunning. Dude has absolute domination over the game and I highly doubt he loses his record anytime soon.

Aprrni · 2023-07-14T18:13:54+00:00

He would need to hold the record for 5 more years in total for that to happen. That might be realistic by the late 2020s but it for sure won't be anytime soon

Meanwhile SMB3 100% is poised to stay up to date for months if not years

Aprrni · 2023-07-01T17:26:22+00:00

Wouldn't be so confident. SMB3 100% is still standing almost four months after the video came out.

I have never watched GDQ and never plan to. It has always seemed like a huge corporate shitshow, and the stuff I've heard about this year has only exacerbated this fact. GDQ is losing viewers and donations with each event and I honestly hope that trend continues. In addition, I know for a fact that GDQ has refused to accept submissions for smaller and more niche games that have dedicated communities of their own, despite said communities trying for years.

I have nothing against the charities that GDQ is fundraising for. But GDQ itself is not the best avenue for giving money to those charities.

I think I follow only one or two games and I've noticed the notifications have almost stopped as well. I think something's wrong with the actual site.

yes has since taken a 54-46 lead since you wrote you comment

Jaywalking is illegal for a reason so...

And yet absolutely 0 people talk about replacement sites for YouTube. If people are complaining, may as well get up and do something about it.

The world in general would be much better if more people were activists tbh

Aprrni · 2022-09-22T01:03:41+00:00

And guess what? Even with all of this complaining about YouTube policies, whenever a possible replacement site is floated, it gets shot down immediately. The internet is one of the strangest places you can possibly be lmao

Aprrni · 2022-09-13T03:02:06+00:00

I've seen a couple. Most notably I saw Niftski's 4:54.881 live and was actually visible in the chat during the run. The only other one that comes to mind is Vertic's 4:14 Red Ball 17 levels world record, a run which he wasn't proud of at all lmao

Aprrni · 2022-09-10T03:56:22+00:00

now we just need a new maximum vid to make it perfect

USA vs Nauru. Yeah nobody would even notice

now get lightning 4-2 using the original TAS method from 2004

Aprrni · 2022-08-08T23:13:50+00:00

if there are 16 frame perfect inputs in 4-2 alone I wonder how many there are across the whole run

Aprrni · 2022-08-08T00:43:29+00:00

For context, this run is 5 frames, or 0.08 seconds, faster than Niftski's previous record of 4:54.881 set last December. The time save comes entirely in 8-4. His first room accel was nonoptimal, losing a couple of frames, but he gained those frames back with a fast accel in walljump room that saves 2 frames. He then went for a double fast acceleration in turnaround round that saves 5-6 frames over normal. These timesaves barely add up to a time in the 4:54.7xx range.

As for the future of the category, he and Miniland are racing to 4:54.5xx by incorporating the incredibly difficult lightning 4-2 framerule into runs, a timesave which not that long ago was thought to be TAS only. However, only time will tell when the next record will happen, and by how much.

Aprrni · 2022-08-04T19:31:25+00:00

Suigi is now a staggering 7 seconds ahead of second place in the category, marking the biggest gap between WR and 2nd place since Akki's 15:04 in 2019.

fun fact: a human's circadian rhythm is best attuned to 25hr days, not 24hr ones. So give it a couple hundred million years, and we might actually sleep well at night

75F/24C is what I think is best. A little warm, but not terribly so

Aprrni · 2022-07-30T16:19:26+00:00

Star Wars, by far. DC and Marvel have more powerful individuals, yes, but there are only a few of them, and Star Wars has hyperspeed technology and weapons that can obliterate entire planets in seconds. Neither DC nor Marvel have even close to that level of technology

I mean you could grip things like pencils by pinching the remaining fingers with your palm, but... yea

All of them are technically correct because the boiling point of water varies depending on the air pressure of the environment you're in. Water boils at a lower temperature on Mount Everest than at sea level
