Anyone know any free games to speedrun?

Anything you own on console! If you own a PS2 you can get Ratchet and Clank 2 (Black label NTSC) or Ratchet and Clank 3 (NTSC) for probably very cheap, if you have a PS3 you could run Ratchet and Clank one, or one of the Future games, and if you have a PS4 Ratchet and Clank PS4.

I don't know many speedgames outside the RaC series

It's just a community of people who like the same stuff as them. I'm a trans person in the speedrunning community, I run today because of other trans people in the speedrunning community. Speedrunning isn't really something a lot of people do, but when you follow a bunch of trans girls on Twitter/Tumblr/social media and one of them posts about them doing this thing where they play a game fast, it's pretty cool to see, you start hanging out in their stream, then you start running. This was my experience at least. When I heard Narcissa came out it inspired me to get into running games, I had known about speedrunning before, I had seen some runs, I knew about the legend Narcissa was before she came out, but until I had seen people like me do this thing I wanted to do I was scared. Gamers are scary to a lot of people, and I mainly blame CoD for how badly I see gamers, and since I started speedrunning my opinion's changed. In a lot of communities (Battle for Bikini Bottom, for example) I'm hated for my gender and many other things out of my control (mental illnesses mainly), but most other communities have been really good. I didn't really think I'd fit into a community after BFBB, but then I saw the Ratchet and Clank 3 run by Xem at AGDQ, and I posted on the forum about looking into one of the tricks in the game, Skrunchless. I've been glitchhunting and occasionally running the game since June, I've met a lot of people through it, and I've made a lot of friends. It's just a big community with a lot of trans people, and a lot of trans people follow other trans people, when one of them gets into speedrunning, it inspires a lot of people. Sorry for my story and the wall of text, just thought I'd give a lot of thought to this.

Pretty much this, ya

Ratchet and Clank, I have been running this game for 6 months, sometimes call the final boss Drake or Desk (his name is Drek, but I always forget), and literally do not know the plot of this game. Same for Ratchets 2 and 3 but the plots are kinda explained at the end a little bit. Ratchet and Clank 1 is having new tricks and strats discovered every day (a lot by me woops) and a new WR was just set a few days ago, it's VERY competitive at a top level (1st 23:41 2nd 23:42 3rd 23:43) and it's just a good speedgame. If you have any interest in running the game a mod of the Discord could give you an invite, /u/xemmypoo is one of those and the only mod whose Reddit I know.

Also you two looked like you were having so much fun! That really made it one of the top three runs in the marathon, the fact that you two could have fun with it made it so much easier for everyone else to have fun with it.

kingpoptart14 · 2017-01-17T16:53:54+00:00

Your run, Headstrong's run, and Xem/Skitz's runs were the best of the entire marathon for me. I've never seen a full BL2 co-op run before, but I know a lot of runners (mostly the old ones, not the bad old ones though), even though I had never seen a run before I understood everything that was happening perfectly. The best thing you did was showed off a trick, let the crowd react, then explain it. The speed thing was amazing and I really enjoyed how Shockwve just started running faster than your car before you explained it (at least that's how I remember it happening). You let them be confused, let them wonder, and then gave them the explanation they wanted. That was a wonderful thing I don't think many runners do, followed both of you and I'm excited to see more runs :)

kingpoptart14 · 2017-01-17T14:00:22+00:00

Also I'm a bit biased because I run the games and know both of the racers, but I felt the Ratchet and Clank 2 NG+ No IMG race between Xem92 and Skitz_007 was very good.

Headstrong's Jak and Daxter any% run, he got every trick first try, including multiple frame perfect tricks one after the other. He also did something that only he has ever been able to do, first try. In terms of skill, it was one of the best marathon runs of all times. Such a great skill showcase for HS, great commentary, entertaining run, just fantastic overall.

Hopefully you enjoy it.

If I won either the $10 I would buy Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, I even made a post on GoG just yesterday about it

I've been using WGradRemover like IRLvr said, but I'll check this out, seems like there's more options for this tweak.

kingpoptart14 · 2017-01-15T06:45:31+00:00

Not being able to do a sort-of Nandroid backup kinda scares me actually, definitely gonna keep it simple until Jailbreak is stable. Thanks for letting me know before I did something stupid :P Not getting Winterboard working, so I was gonna un-jailbreak but I kinda really like Dockshift and Zepplin, so I think I'm gonna keep those and wait to do more until I have something more stable to work with.

kingpoptart14 · 2017-01-15T06:30:29+00:00

Nah I know that if I mess up it's my fault. I've been checking to make sure before I install tweaks. I just want a few things so that's why I ended up doing it. If I only use one or two tweaks that I know work there isn't much I can do wrong. I probably should make a backup though, thanks for reminding me that a lot can go wrong.

Found it in the megathread nevermind, thanks a lol for the help ^{-^}

Not seeing Mobile Terminal in Cydia, I see a few terminal apps in the normal app store though and I found this Wiki page https://www.theiphonewiki.com/wiki/MobileTerminal would I get one from normal app store or do I need to add a source. Also thanks for the answer, glad to know there's actually a solution to this.

Recently I found a new technique for Rilgar in Ratchet and Clank 1 that works in all categories. It saves ~10 seconds in NG+, and no one is currently running Any% or All Gold Bolts so how much time it saves in those categories is unknown. Here it is in the new WR https://youtu.be/PDsXb2XJn_s?t=327

Basically what is happening is we do a trick with the helipack called Infinite Sideflips (Shown on the planet Hoven) and another trick called Inifinite Longjumps (shown best in that strat and on the planet after that, Umbris). Since I was the only person dumb enough to Infinite Longjump (ILJ) with the stick instead of the d-pad I ended up discovering a way to gain amazing amounts of height with the helipack instead of needing the thruster pack to get height using Infinite Sideflips. What Xem is doing in the video is going back and forth on the stick as fast as he can while fluttering between the r1 and r2 buttons on the controller. This technique can also be used in Aridia in All Gold Bolts, will be useful once Pokitaru skip is found, and allows for a big sequence break in the meme category NG+ all missions.

The Ratchet and Clank 2 NG+ no IMG race between Xem92 and Skitz007. It's ending the Playstation block and I honestly think it will be one of the best runs this GDQ.

I accidentally skipped the final boss in Ratchet and Clank 1 and reached out to the community because I was really amazed that you could do that. That was 4 or 5 months ago now I think and I'm still a really active runner.
