I somehow doubt that the motivation and vision that Lauren Faust had when she produced the show was to sell toys.
Hasbro wanted to sell toys and commissioned Faust to create a line of toys to sell. Just because she created a cartoon that wasn't fluffly, vacuous, girly-girl crap doesn't change the fact that My Little Pony was meant to sell toys to children. Attracting an adult audience was simply a happy side effect of creating something of relatively good quality. My nieces have loved every single episode, and are complaining that they don't have all the toys. I think they're succeeding where it counts.

Complaints like that happen whenever people forget that the show, from the word "go," was created primarily to sell toys. Also when they forget that show is targeted at seven year old girls, and not twenty-something men.

I am honestly growing bored and weary of speedruns like this.

To me, it feels like if you're going to skip this much of the game, you may as well skip it all.

I feel a great swell of pity for the production studio then.

So, wait, you're not going to pass by the toy aisle of your local department store so as to not spoiler yourself about a cartoon show made for little girls? That lineup's been on sale for months now. They also did the same thing by selling the Crystal Empire themed toys months before the S3 premire; they even had a bunch of translucent miniatures for sale.

The contents of the box have been forshadowed by the toys for months now. Also, I'm a little disappointed that PikachuMan didn't take the bait I set out. Oh well.

All I'm gonna say about this whole thing is that while it's cool, it's a little disheartening to see that games aren't really being "played" anymore. I used to think that the sub-four minute Link to the Past was cool, but I now think it's boring to start a game and then finish it.

Also, why skip the first two fish in the very beginning? It seems that a number of times you have to double back quite a bit to grab some fish, when those two seem simple enough to grab. I like this little title a lot. I can understand that speedrunning it is quite difficult.

It should also be mentioned that propelling yourself to the sides also propels you up. That alone makes movement a lot more awkward.

Achievement Unlocked sadly requires the use of a mouse.

I tried BizHawk, but TASing this game is so confusing: the sounds are smashed and repeats for 4 seconds (on 12% as I need)!
Well, there's another problem. In order to get the best results from a TAS, the use of frame advance is an absolute must. Not even 12% speed will cut it, unfortunately.

I almost always agree that a TAS should be the hardest difficulty possible, but in the case of Doom, the games often have an exceedingly unfair highest difficulty.
This is TASing. It doesn't matter how "unfair" the difficulty level is. That's the point. The "perfect" player doesn't care how difficult it is. Playing on the easiest setting makes little sense.
Counterpoint.

A vast and perilous gulf lies between, "has plans of," and, "has expressed interest in." See also this Twitter post by the creator of Ecco the Dolphin. Please do not go around spreading unsubstantiated rumors.

I'm glad this thread exists, because I sure as heack wouldn't want to miss out on when a children's cartoon airs in a foreign country!

Huh, that's a neat trick. Would've been nice to know for when I made my TAS, so I could have investigated it then. It seems like the setup takes some time, so if all it does is shoot you to 4b, I doubt its worth it. If it can skip a level, it'd be worth checking out. As for shield farming, it wasn't that bad. All I had to do was change up the order I shot the enemies on the bridge until one coughed up a shield in a fairly timely manner.

Oh good, I'm not the only one! Yeah, something like that, but taken to its most extreme of one button per person.

Tried using the new release to play some Genesis titles. I've been having issues with certain inputs getting stuck after releasing the corresponding keys, and staying stuck until I press the same key again. I have no hotkeys set for "Autohold", so I don't think it is that. No issues with playing Playstation games.

Is it okay if we talk about variations on this theme? I ask since TPP kinda made me want to see something where a group of eight or so people are each assigned a button of a controller - like one person is in charge of A, another B, four people to each direction on the d-pad , and so on - , meaning they'd have to work together to complete a game. It'd allow for more action oriented stuff, while the Twitch method is best suited for grid-oriented RPGs.
