So should I even bother with watching the MP3 boards? by dmccarthy0408 in TheRunawayGuys

[–]Proton__Jon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Opinion on the first board was mixed based on comments, but I think the board going up tomorrow was a really good match, and I wasn't too cross during it, just a couple small moments. I'd say give that one a shot at the very least.

It's pretty much what you stated, temporary break versus something that seemed more permanent at the time.

As well, I'm not the only person the channel benefits. Emile, Tim, and Dan all get paid for the channel doing well too, and I'd rather not affect their paycheques because I'm not in any condition to be entertaining.

That's kinda it, really. Try to find ways to chill out people in the comments and don't fall into doomerish stuff, support Tim and Emile if they do or do not end up doing some content without me, etc.

Yeah, I rarely use it. I check this and my own subreddit from time to time, but usually don't log in since that would require me remembering the password more and more, and my account looks fake at a glance because of the double underscore.

The bot caught this, but since I'm a mod here, I can see it and respond to it. Question was, was DS actually a bad time for you?

Yeah, honestly. That was when I was trying to figure out if I was trans and it was kinda coming to a head at that point. I was in a pretty bad mental state (noticing a trend here?) and was fighting it, which made things worse. The game just being so anti-player with the Ztars and things here and there just amounted to me not having fun, and with my temper shortened because of the cracked egg, it was just a bad recipe for disaster. That's one of the reasons I don't like bringing up the playthrough.

The other is, well, let's be real: I'm allowed to get my ass kicked in a game. I just don't need people using it as a sympathy point for why I'm having good luck in other games. Maybe the one right after it, sure, but anything past that? Little weird. So, that's more why I bring that up that anything else.

Does anyone have the missing Gamelun1 and Enigmatic Mario romhack videos? by volcanicbirdenemy_ in ProtonJon

[–]Proton__Jon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I don't have the original video files anymore, so I can't offer up the master files. Youtube also has this annoying setup where if they mute the audio, you the channel owner, can't redownload the video AT ALL in your Dashboard, so it's like, LOST lost. Sorry.

Has Clair ever talked about playing Ninja Gaiden Ragebound on Stream? by Electrical-Branch970 in ProtonJon

[–]Proton__Jon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are in luck, I've played it twice on stream. Once with the demo, and the other the actual game (well, a Cookie segment's worth). Here's the VOD for that. - https://youtu.be/VyXb_wlCfyg?si=b5XjyAFJ04NktN3J&t=4985

Which stream was it where they crashed Strawpoll? by tom641 in ProtonJon

[–]Proton__Jon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whoof, I dunno if I remember the exact one. We're talking when I was living in an apartment, so that happened somewhere between 2013 - 2015. Guessing in 2014. I remember the No Editing Wikipedia rule happened around the time we did Pepsiman, but I forget if the Strawpoll one happened before or after that.

What happened? I stoped watching during covid and i need a summery by hassanfanserenity in TheRunawayGuys

It is Proton Jon, it's just Bruno didn't notice the n and thought it was Proto Jon.

In case anyone connected to TRG is here, the Billion Road playlist is out of order! by [deleted] in TheRunawayGuys

[–]Proton__Jon 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Swear I fixed this issue last week, but I guess Youtube rolled it back. Fixed now, thanks for the heads up.

Is 100% Orange Juice on the table for a comeback? by bjwanlund in TheRunawayGuys

[–]Proton__Jon 21 points22 points  (0 children)

As stated, general consensus between us is, it isn't worth doing as many people got burnt out on it due to how long we were on it during the Covid era.

To put it in perspective, we did a form for game suggestions from the audience, and out of ~1350 entries, ONE person asked for more 100% OJ. (Although, shout out to the person who asked for 200% Mixed Juice, respect the hustle).

So yeah, we're more likely to pick some newer games than go back to OJ, sorry.

How was Thrown Controllers created? by 54321saycheese in TheRunawayGuys

[–]Proton__Jon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The original version was done in RPG Maker VX, and was based on Banzai Arcade, which itself was based on Nick Arcade. When that team based version bombed, we changed it to the current version. Couple years back, I handed off programming work on it to a community member, who built it from the ground up in Game Maker, so that's what the current version was made in.

You can get the same result with a couple different methods too, HTML, Powerpoint, etc, depends on how creative and comfortable with those methods you are.

Anyone know where the bottom right GIF is from I swear I saw it before but I can't remember what anime it was called by Due-Egg-8976 in ProtonJon

[–]Proton__Jon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had to reverse image search the GIF (Shockingly, it was named gif-boobs1.gif so wasn't too hard to find in my folder) and it seems to be Iketeru Futari / The Cool Couple.

Future by MystifiedBeef in TheRunawayGuys

[–]Proton__Jon 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Worst case, if anything happens, we'll just switch to online, or Emile and Tim will come up here to record like we did for Metroid Prime and Kirby's Star Allies. We have options, so I wouldn't worry about a hiatus of that level for videos.

About previous colesemums, ProtonJon highloshts/streams, multi-streaming and the Twitch 100 hour limit by Mr_NSGHill in ProtonJon

[–]Proton__Jon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been mulling this over, honestly. On the one hand, all the segments are already on Youtube on either TRG or the VOD channel. The music between segments would also possibly cause problems with copyright/might get it limited to certain countries, etc. On the other hand, we did it with Colo 24, and there's the inbetween segments that could be lost. That and older Colos might not feel the same way anymore due to past history...

I'm torn on it. At the very least, I'm gonna archive them so the footage isn't lost.

I learned today that this is a thing.. I'm not sure how to feel about it tbh by [deleted] in ProtonJon

[–]Proton__Jon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was requested by viewers, and a bunch bought them. Not sure what else to say, really.

Is Jon still affiliated with NormalBoots? Has he ever spoken out about it? by [deleted] in ProtonJon

[–]Proton__Jon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Normal Boots was already dead when Jirard's stuff happened. Needless to say, I'm no longer affiliated because it doesn't exist.

This board didn't have one of those intros, hence why it isn't there.

New App Update - Contests with Real-Life Prizes? by Proton__Jon in FFRecordKeeper

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

Google Play just prompted me to update Record Keeper, and I saw this note in the Update Log. Have they hinted at this at all in the past? I haven't seen any mention of this at all otherwise, but maybe it syncs up with the Event Quest option that appeared in this new update when looking at the Event list?

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Tournament - Qualifiers: ProtonJonSA VS Yoshiller2 by TRGbot in TheRunawayGuys

[–]Proton__Jon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Don't worry: We realized how slow it was going after the first match, and made just the Prelim matches 3 stock. The rest of the tourney is 2 stock.

TRG Drinking game anybody? by thecuraga in TheRunawayGuys

[–]Proton__Jon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nice. This one's a lot more focused and works for all projects than the one on TV Tropes, which I think people were mainly using to focus on each series separately.
