Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

New Mario Speedrun start dropped, that's pretty big news for Mario 64 120 star runs.

"New summoning salt video dropped"

What? This isn't a Summoning Salt video, it's a video from Simply. Am I missing something here or are you really this dumb?

[–] SandLight@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I really am that dumb. Edited.

[–] Pips@lemmy.film 6 points 2 years ago

TIL I can edit post titles on Lemmy. This should prevent some pretty annoying and pointless arguments.

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

tbf I saw the new title and immediatley thought "Is this a Summoning Salt video?"

[–] SandLight@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No I'm just dumb. I'll edit it

[–] CynicRaven@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Thanks for posting the link and also for taking the correction in stride and fixing the submission removing the reference to summoningsalt. None of us are perfect and I'm always glad to see people work to conduct ourselves in a dignified, honorable manner.:)

So that's it, I've lived to see carpetless as a viable non-TAS strategy. That's crazy.

Give it time and someone will grind it to a 50-50 chance to complete first try

[–] TheaoneAndOnly27@kbin.social 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Man, as someone who knows nothing about super Mario 64 or speed running, that was dope to watch. I watched the whole thing and it was a blast.

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

You should watch summoning salt on youtube https://youtube.com/@SummoningSalt?si=0UyA0EGNTrEKSNA3 He makes slighly longer form veraions of this sort of video and as someone who has never done a speed run or wpuld have any hope of completing one i find it fascinating.

Plus the background music is so good on his videos.

What I wouldn't give to have even a tenth of the free time it would take to figure out which fucking frame you have to do this or that. I don't follow or know anything about speed running or whatever but I just watched this whole video, and this is serious skill. How the hell are people figuring these things out?

[–] Sami_Uso@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

They're mostly teenagers/living with parents. That's pretty much all it takes to have unlimited free time

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago

This is the only speed running I keep fairly current on, I'm going to watch it right now. Carpetless WHAT! Thanks

[–] fadingembers@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 years ago

Hearing him pronounce Krithalith in a serious context multiple times was great

[–] MsPenguinette@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

It just keeps happening

Born too late to explore the planet, born too early to explore the galaxy, born at just the right time to see the pinnacle of SM64 speed running...
