Pannenkoek does have a few videos documenting stars that can be beaten with No Joystick Allowed strats (these are old and there are more on the secondary UncommentatedPannen channel but I don’t see a playlist compiling them). A full run is definitely not possible, but at least some stars are doable.

Many still are, but 70 star offers a lot of flexibility in routing to just pick the stars that are RTA-able.

I’m curious what the A count for RTA 120 could be. TAS is 13x, but humans will need more.

Gamecube doesn’t have enough RAM to preload everything at startup like that, you have to go through the menus and pick a game mode and map to load.

Surely if it needed that startup load anyway, then Sakurai wouldn’t be saying he turned the license down in order to get players in the game faster. I’m going to trust Sakurai’s word here!

Bear in mind that Kirby Air Ride came out in 2003, on a console that’s only meant to be hooked up to CRTs. How many users back then do you think would’ve had access to this feature in the first place? Or would still be playing this game if/when they upgrade later?

Do not give Reddit money.

Puyo Puyo. The three best games in the series were Puyo Puyo 15th Anniversary, Puyo Puyo 20th Anniversary, and Puyo Puyo Chronicle (25th in all but name). None of these games ever got released outside of Japan, but after the crossover did well overseas there were high hopes in the community we’d get a similar mainline game for the series’ 30th anniversary.

I wrote a very long essay about how that didn’t happen, and the state of the series ever since. And a more recent followup video on Sega’s newest blunder.

Heartbreaking: Worst Person You Know Ultimately Did the Right Thing

Refusing to treat people with the barest minimum of respect is not a “personal opinion”, it’s behavior that no space should tolerate.

Desktop audio streaming has never worked. Bug report has been outstanding since the beginning and Discord has just… never addressed it.

While my 2021 essay did aim to be as thorough as I could in criticizing PPT itself, all of my criticism of the game is secondary to my greater criticism of how Sega handled the series afterward. I wonder if being too thorough may have caused that thesis to be lost in the woods, but I hope this video today hammers that point back home.

If Sega had followed up PPT1 with a full mainline game, using its commercial success as a jumping off point for the series to go onto bigger and better things, I wouldn’t be so frustrated today. But instead of doing that… we got Apple Arcade.

There were a lot of valid conversations to be had about journalistic integrity. Which made it all the more damning that Gamergate never once had any of these conversations, ever.

What answer would have satisfied you? You started off aggressive and combative in the OP, then acted surprised when you were met in kind.

Built a new desktop, backed up everything on my old laptop, next step was to format an Arch installer USB. Instead of formatting the USB, I formatted my laptop’s /boot partition. No big loss since I had the backup and was done with that old toaster, but oops.

I picked up a Miyoo Mini Plus earlier this year as an impulse buy, and ended up liking it enough that I regret not buying a higher end model with analog sticks. Still, don’t know if it’s worth trying to upgrade now - I’m waiting for the day we can get a full SteamOS device in this form factor.

Are these mutually exclusive?
