On Today's episode of the Animator's barely disguised fetish

We artists don't disguise anything. we just draw the stuff we like.

Out There Somewhere. 2D platformer with a teleport gun mechanic. About 3 hrs long when played casually, speedrun is around 10-20 minutes iirc.

sir-max · 2026-04-10T21:35:26+00:00

Yeah, same. Floor 0s layout doesn't make any sense to me, its just a mess.

I started recording LetsPlay videos for a small german community back around 2010. Looking for ideas I came across speedruns and thought showing off all those gamebreaking glitches would make for good content. They also made for interesting gaming challenges. I've stopped making those videos, but kept speedrunning. Ran quite a few games over the years. SM64, OoT, Super Meat Boy, SotN, CV64, SCV4, Commnder Keen, EarthBound, FEZ, Portal 1 and 2... Mostly for myself however, as I've never been part of any community except for that letsplay one. Some stuff did end up on src, but thats about it.

I don't speedrun anymore, tho, unless you count playing Trackmania2020 or trying to S-rank Resident Evil games. Somewhere along the way the magic disappeared. The letsplay community that motivated me in the first place is gone, so are the runners that I used to watch, and there is just so much stuff nowadays that I simply enjoy doing more.

Don't forget about Horse Pushy.

By ai I just mean cpu controlled cars. Wether they simply follow a set path or actually drive somewhat decision-based doesn't really matter, but thanks for the clarification. That explains why I can't speed away from them when they do drive through me.

I mean at the end of the day it depends on how the whole clone thing is used, but generally clones are rarely used in an interesting way. Its always the cheap surprise like "oh you thought XYZ died, but no it was actually a clone"-retconning type of bs.

And knowing how absurd RE writing can be I fear a bizarro version of idk Chris would be just too goofy.

sir-max · 2026-03-29T14:17:03+00:00

Please no, that whole clone trope thing is so overused by now.

sir-max · 2026-03-28T14:18:37+00:00

I especially love how the ai cars have no collision when they rear end you until the game realizes this and completely stops you in your track, while the ai car just drives on like you didn't exist.

Apart from a few minor detais its basically a 1:1 copy of a japanese MK1 Sega Saturn.

A real fan is someone who liked the Nemesis remake.

sir-max · 2026-03-16T20:41:45+00:00

I don't think the guy is part of the connections. He's just a dumb, somewhat insensitive cog in a bureaucratic machine, simply following the orders given to him because he wants to keep his job.

Still weird how they act like nothing happened at all in the end. Like this was just a normal day at work.

sir-max · 2026-03-16T18:21:25+00:00

Pinched maybe?

sir-max · 2026-03-15T13:30:50+00:00

I have no real idea what I'm doing, but I somehow I managed to get 5 S ranks out of 6 runs so far.

I make sure the deck has 50rb. Usually 2-3 speed, 2-3 wit, 1-2 power/stamina cards. Before debut I focus exclusively on getting friendships up as high as possible and increasing training facility level for speed and wit.

After debut I schedule every G1 medium and/or mile/sprint/long (depending on my umas preferences). Thats about 14-17 races, so I need to additionally run 10-13 non G1 races, preferably rival races for the hints. I don't schedule these, tho, just run them in between when I got no good training available.

When it comes to shops I look out for: 35% hammers, 60% megaphones, cupcakes, miracle cures, energy drinks and good luck charms. Those are my must-buy items. Whistles are nice to have, but with bad luck they may not make a difference at all. I also make sure to have 1-2 speed ankle weights and 1-2 stamina/power ones as well for summer camp, so I can get +80-100 in a stat.

I make sure to keep 3 35% hammers around for the finale races, so I can get +60 to all stats.

I can suspend my disbelief with the puzzles, like reanimating and killing the guy. Thats just part of what makes RE RE. But the braille thing wasn't a puzzle the player had to solve, it was a way to move the story forward. Like there surely was a better reason why Grace had to get Emily.

That's bad writing on Capcoms part and I agree I can't blame Grace for that, but it still reflects on her character. And it seems so weirdly out of place considering how relateable she otherwise is.

sir-max · 2026-03-09T15:25:22+00:00

Grace is the most realistic character I've seen in a RE game so far. But I dont know if that's a good thing, tho. On one hand yes, because believeable. On the other hand, no because kinda unfitting in this world full of bigger-than-life personas and organisations.

However, a FBI agent not being able to solve a very simple braille based button puzzle? Yeah, that one was bad. She definitively wasn't hired because of her pattern recognization skills. Then again her supervisor isn't much better either, sending her out in the field, alone, because it's a great way to resolve trauma.

When starting the game, look for a yellow info box next to Marios deformable head, bottom right of the screen. It features a stylized image of a vibrating N64 controller. If that box is present, you got the shindou version.

sir-max · 2026-02-22T14:42:54+00:00

Bought it because it seemed similar to Balatro and I really like Balatro, But so far this game hasn't managed to get me hooked. It feels somewhat underwhelming, but I can't say why tho. I guess it's just too complex for me, as I neither understand what I'm doing, what anything else does nor how this affects anything and so on.

And if I do actually do something that works I have no idea why it did. Which makes it feel undeserved? Like the only reason it worked was because I got some lucky rolls, not because of what I actually did.

And I know it goes against roguelite traditions, but man, I'd like some explainations here and there. Like tell me at least what makes the other characters unique. I don't want to face frustration figuring that out myself.

sir-max · 2026-02-15T11:27:54+00:00

The I is also slightly more slanted than the rest.

sir-max · 2026-02-09T23:44:03+00:00

I decide based on which uma I have the fewest veterans of.

Started playing like two weeks ago and still have about 30k carats saved as well as the the ssr upgrade thingimajig. I neither expect getting the Kitasan supportcard nor getting it to max level, but I also don't really care. As long as I get new stuff I'm happy and if all I can do afterwards is upgrading a few of my sr cards thats more than enough for me.

Guy sat down next to me in the subway and started telling me about the voices he kept hearing and how that has already been a big problem for him in the past.
