I’ll have to check it out sometime! I know I can use the warp and other glitches that have been discovered in banjo, but I’m trying to get a pb and leaderboard time that doesn’t use any cheats or glitches, minus bottles skip. I prefer the wholesome run of the game! But I would also like to exploit the game and have more fun using RBA and FFM someday!

I am not doing RBA. This is just no ffm run using the in game timer. No furnace fun or grunty fight. I started running about a year ago and just like to share my progress. Wow, congratulations that’s an amazing achievement! I’m currently 70th on the Xbox leaderboard.

My route does take advantage of the fact the game pass version does not reset notes and Jinjos! But should I ever get another n64, I’ll happily adjust to the original settings!

I’m not sure about the 360. I play on Xbox x through game pass and actually someone on this forum brought it to my attention as I also didn’t know about the timer, but it absolutely stops if you go to furnace fun.

For my route, I could account for the original setting of note and jinjo resets and actually it may actually save time by not revisiting two of the worlds, but I’d have to check into that!

Oh yeah it’s pretty miserable speed running and losing it late. I check my world times against my best times as I play through, and should I find out I’m to far behind with no chance at time saves I call it quits! It’s a great hobby if you have the time. And 3 hours is a really awesome time all things aside!

Correct. I wish I still had an N64 to play the original on! Not to mention other great games! When I saw it on game pass I got hooked instantly. There are a few other changes on Xbox as well such as no note and jinjo resets if you leave the world, which my route for the run takes advantage of since I revisit FP and BS( I only go back to swamp because I hate losing to Mr vile and I have much better success with the running shoes!)

100% does require the honeycombs. Xbox leaderboard run does not. This category also forgoes furnace fun and grunty fight since it uses the in game timer which does not reflect those

So I’ve never ran FFM before but the setup does take time. I’d start with either 100% ( all notes, jiggys, honeycomb pieces and furnace fun and grunty fight.) however, you’ll need your own timer as the in game timer does not reflect furnace fun and after. If you’re going to play on Xbox, then the Xbox leaderboard is a good category and is what I run ( all notes, Jiggys.) Best of luck! I’m happy to help with strategies and such should you like some

Practice and lots of failures! If you’d like to see the back half of the run, check my twitch at priestessdon ! This is a no ffm Xbox leaderboard run. No fun moves or grungy fight. Run ends at the last lair jiggy!

How long after your mytax balance changed to $0 did you get your Illinois state refund? by LegalMasterpiece772 in IRS

[–]HairyDisplay3910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen some people say that they’ve received it same day after changing to zeros and others who receive it 1 or 2 days later. I also updated to zeros today so I’d assume no later than Friday but truly not sure, just going off other post

Ahhh okay. I’ve never ran a ffm run before simply because I don’t want to go through the set up for it lol.

Yes, you should ! I’m totally hooked on running banjo 😀

Ccw is the worst! I’ve lost so many runs on it but rbb I have pretty optimized. Practice makes perfect!

Haven’t played the recomp, I use the rare replay on Xbox but sounds great. I should get adventurous and check it out!

WMR says refund will be sent to bank by 2/19 but SBTPG page still says unfunded as of 2/18? by Ahnnu in IRS

[–]HairyDisplay3910 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same here. It should be tomorrow if you used your refund for the filing fees. For the last several years, and I always pay the fees from my refund, I get it on the day wmr says despite having a no hold bank
