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 1 year ago (1 children)

I really am that dumb. Edited.

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

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

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 6 points 1 year 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.

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

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 1 year ago

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

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

[–] MsPenguinette@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year 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...
