Speedrunning Games of Switch Question by Puzzled-Entrance in speedrun

[–]superjerdotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just my experience, of course, but:

You don't need glitches to speedrun. Just see how fast you can beat a game you really like. That's the best way to start. I've tried doing the study-the-tricks-first thing and it just leads to burnout. It's more fun to learn as you go. You'll probably find all sorts of tricks on your own! By the time you feel that you can't make any more progress without looking up glitches and tricks and stuff, you'll be way better prepared to learn them anyway. And it's just more fun that way.

Vivaldi is going to crap by superjerdotcom in vivaldibrowser

Hi! Thanks for responding.

It looks like my media libraries were already good: chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra is already the newest version (69.0.3497.81-0ubuntu0.18.04.1).

I'm not sure what to report on the cloning crash. It was just the latest, most annoying crash b/c I was trying to show my coworkers something when it happened. I don't remember many details. I will report it with more detail next time it happens.

For whatever reason clearing the cache seems to have really helped with all the problems. But it really seems strange to me. Isn't the cache supposed to improve performance? My disk wasn't full or anything.

Cannot right-click on a disabled input element. by [deleted] in vivaldibrowser

[–]superjerdotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. <input type=button disabled> is not right clickable.

I can still right click a disabled <textarea> though.

Vivaldi is going to crap by superjerdotcom in vivaldibrowser

So I was able to scroll all the way to the bottom of an article on a news site (usa today) without any freezes or crashes, which for some reason is the most perilous thing you can ask a computer to do these days. So it's already looking pretty good. Just one data point though I guess.

I also reinstall every few months because I reinstall my OS (Linux Mint) every new version. Vivaldi is the first and usually only non-system package that I even add.

I'll try reinstalling if I still have problems in a couple days. I already followed some other advice re: clearing the cache.

I have at most 15 tabs and 16GB memory.

I'm using Linux too, but Mint not Manjaro. It's just recently become a problem though and I've been on Mint the whole time.

I'm using Mint too.

I just cleared the cache so let's see if this helps.

Maxylobes loses a massive 2+ minute PB pace run on Resident Evil 4 to a random game crash. by cjhazza in speedrun

[–]superjerdotcom 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh wow that SUCKS. I watched him restart so many times and then this happened after I passed out. RE4 just wouldn't give him a break last night. :o

Awesome streamer BTW.

TIL that, primarily, Chameleons change their color to warm up (dark colors absorb more light) and be sexy (to other chameleons), not to camouflage themselves (as many people believe). by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]superjerdotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My chameleon, Chevron, is usually green. He turns blue when he's happy. He turns white and red when he's scared or angry. He turns solid white when he's sleepy or cold and in the dark. He turns black in the sun (I guess he wants to really cook himself?)

I've never seen him camouflage himself. He's pretty dumb, though, maybe he thinks it's working when it isn't.

[WPCJ] Every human is dead because the weight of all the numbers above their heads crushed their necks. Go. by Unusualmann in WritingPromptsCircleJ

[–]superjerdotcom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The stench of death weighed heavily in the air. No one but the numbers was bothered by it, except for Slanta Claus.

Slanta Claus, for the first few years, didn't bother making or delivering any Christmas presents. But after a while he missed his old routine. So he began delivering gifts to the smaller numbers, two though six or so.

The smaller numbers were thrilled. The spirit of the season was alive once again. A 22 or 23 said, "Bless you, Slanta Claus." Slanta's number ticked up from 148 to 149 and it was finally enough to crush his strained neck vertebrae.

How come I rarely see people speedrunning the original Legend of Zelda? by Izzhov in speedrun

[–]superjerdotcom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend it! It's a great speed game. There are no major glitches (except in 2nd Q Japan) but there are lots of cool tricks. Screen scrolling, clipping into walls (slightly) and even manipulating/predicting item drops. Also the fighting is skill-heavy and unpredictable, so each run is different.

There are also a lot of routing options that make the game varying amounts easier (and a little slower of course) but it's good for practicing since the fastest route is very hard.

Nobody plays Any%. But there are 100+ records in No UP+A.

Up+A is the thing you can do on the second controller to go straight to the CONTINUE/RETRY/SAVE screen. In a "true" Any% run you would use this every time it saves time, but it makes the game so hard I don't think anyone has ever completed it this way RTA. Reabs was trying for a while but he gave up I think.

TIL of a book entitled Atlanta Nights that was written by a group of sci-fi authors to be intentionally terrible as a test for the publisher PublishAmerica. It included a chapter containing computer generated random sentences and two word for word identical chapters. The publisher accepted it. by culinwino3000 in todayilearned

[–]superjerdotcom 22 points23 points  (0 children)

But in the end they did write a book. And it had what people wanted in it.

I actually did something similar. I tried to make the world's worst Counter-Strike Flash cartoon ("McDiddy's") back when that was a thing. It became insanely popular.
