Hi guys.

I donā€™t want to brag or anything but I beat Super Mario 64 in 2 hours and 34 minutes last night. Good for 998 out of 1001 recorded times.

PM me for tips

speedrun.com suggests 1000 out of 1012 if itā€™s on real hardware 1011 out of 1032 emulator for 70 star

still though I probably couldnā€™t fire up the game and beat that right now

these darn kids and their free time and updated strategies and being better anyway

I might have got the time wrong. Pretty sure I was 998th but youā€™re correct obviously.

Emulators are cheating. Still have my original 64 from 2000

just post it on another site, on cyberscore youā€™d be 14th

(out of 14 of course by a lot)

Do you still play? I tried to get a group going when it first came out, but never could.

My friend (former poker player) and I were obsessed with this game. We bet on matches and came up with a long-term points system where weā€™d award 10 pts for a crown, 1 for winning a stage, -2 if eliminated in round 1, etc. etc.

I havenā€™t played for about 6 months, but looks like they added several interested new stages.

Main thing that sucks is working your way to a final then itā€™s one of the super shit ones like Fall Mountain or Hidden Temple. Hex-a-Gone is still the GOAT.

Yeah. Iā€™m usually on around 9p EST right after my kid falls asleep.

Going on now if anyone is around

Any of the Path of Exile bros should take a gander at what might be the best item ever made and that will ever be made.

And now it can never be replicated.

I canā€™t even comprehend that. Probably the best item that will ever be created.

Really impressed with Stray, for a $30 indie game, this has an incredible amount of polish. Want to re-recommend 12 Minutes as another game from the same studio, Annapurna, which is an arthouse movie company that has branched out into making fresh and interesting little videogames. Iā€™m really interested in seeing what other games come out of this studio down the road.

I think a publisher but donā€™t really know, tbh I donā€™t follow the business end of videogames much, I just saw their logo in the title cards.

Didnā€™t play Outer Wilds but Iā€™ve head good things about that one as well.

Annapurna did Maquette too, which is a cute short puzzle game. Outer Wilds is a must play.

I gotta check that out. Little puzzlers are some off the most creative things going on in videogames right now.

Outer wilds has a ps5 update coming out in a month that should fix/up framerates so Iā€™m still holding off for that as its pretty awful right now.

In other news I dusted off $300 for a fight stick from korea so that I can more efficiently lose to 13 year olds at tekken 7/8 and sf6. :+1:

For a second I thought you said ā€œflight stickā€ and I was very confused.
