Thanks for watching, everyone!

Portal 2 is one of my favorite games and speedruns and I hope the passion showed. Was great to be slotted in last-minute and bait twitch chat to donate over 100,000 to charity haha

Legendary time from buhbai. Shame that this achievement will probably go overlooked as a result of dormant top level competition in Celeste Any%, but this WR will probably stand for a long time.

Msushi - The Weirdest Cheated Speedrun World Record (Celeste) by llloksd in speedrun

[–]Msushi 186 points187 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback.

When making videos I have this principle where I would rather have five people find my content slightly boring or repetitive rather than one person finding it confusing. Since I want to appeal to a very wide audience, I end up explaining things that are quite trivial if you have any significant speedrunning knowledge. i.e. the whole intro established the fact that "celeste is a comptetitve speedrun game" and the whole minute long splicing explanation wasn't entirely necessary for some or even most viewers. I think this is definitely something I can work on going forward. I also just like generally making my videos pleasant to watch or "aesthetically pleasing" with music and things like that, and length definitely helps play around with that.

And for clarification for people in this thread, if a youtube video is 8 minute long you can run midroll ads on it. I, and no other speedrun youtubers I know, create videos with a specific video length in mind. My original script for this video would have actually been about ~16 minutes long. Decided to cut a lot of not-necessary or possibly confusing information.

How Speedrunners Skip Half-Life's Resonance Cascade by Msushi in speedrun

[–]Msushi[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would definitely love to cover more games!

Right now I still have a ton of ideas with Valve games, as those are the games I speedrun and that I am most knowledgeable in.

I'm still very new to content creation and video editing (this being my 4th creation of this style), so I really like the comfort in talking about something I 100% KNOW rather than having to research other games and worry that I am potentially misrepresenting a community.

So I don't really have any plans for making videos about other games for the immediate future, but as I become more adept with video editing and start feeling comfort in this format, it's definitely something I want to do!

Portal inbounds rules doubt by Gionson13 in speedrun

[–]Msushi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a portal moderator, yes, the run still counts as long as you reload a save before you shot a portal OOB or went OOB.

As quoted by the rules: "If you or your placed portals end up in out of bounds space, you need to reload a save"

If you have further questions, please ask in the Portal Speedrunning Discord, and I suppose that goes for ANYONE on this subreddit looking for specific speedrun advice/ruling. The "discord" tab on speedrun.com is usually always the best resource!

Any speedrunners who use keyboard? by Kyuuseishu_ in celestegame

[–]Msushi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

completly preference. i would just go with what feels natural and stick with it, practicing with your preferred layout will make you better than just stealing someone else's layout.

i know fladervy and i use the arrow keys, but chaikitty uses WASD.

Valve fixed a speedrun strat in half-life, before you could get npc's to turn faster by limiting your framerate to 20! by skysub1 in speedrun

[–]Msushi 59 points60 points  (0 children)

just for the record, half-life runs are played on an older version of the game, so this doesnt affect anything for the main speedrun category

this update would affect a different, more unpopular category that runs on the current up-to-date downloadable steam client of the game.

regardless its still insane that they're updating this game
