Never heard of this game before, but found the run interesting and even entertaining. Nice job.

You cannot second them as they have already been seconded and even thirded.

nrg_zam and hidaigai, for working on some really nice stuff, with a lot of meat on it.

Indeed.
We had several really good NES TASs this year, that in any other year, I would nominate. However, this year, I don't even find it a contest. Lord Tom's masterpiece, and doing something novel to enhance a game is unparallelled by everything else.

Hetfield90 - For making some of the most entertaining TASs this past year.
Mothrayas - Did a really good job with several TASs on various handheld platforms which are generally ignored by most TASers (yet not necessarily exotic), and also collaborated on one of the best TASs this year for the NES.
Lord Tom - Despite relatively little content compared to the others, I think the programming work he added to a game makes his TASing skills this year outshine everyone else.

There's this weirdo who TAS'd a Mega Man game on an exotic platform, so that's where my vote goes - Mothrayas. Also, this weirdo TAS'd longer games then all the other guys combined.

I just finished watching this. I don't think it was the most entertaining TAS, but it was very well played. Congrads on getting your first solo run published!

If you evaluate what grassini said with a bit of common sense, you will see used the term ''lefty liberals'' as a characteristic of the people he was answering to.
Who is he answering to? He did not quote anyone, he did not mention anyone by name, he just threw it out there.
BrunoVisnadi wrote:
He immediately mentioned them again in ''I pity you guys'', making clear he was not referring to some group outside of TASVideos.
Perhaps it's not some group outside of TASVideos, but it's up to the reader to determine if they are being specified or not, since the specification is anything but clear.
From IRC:
<Niamek> Lefty liberals, isn't those guys who are liberal, but more on the left that regular liberals? LIke left is liberalism and right is communism?
<BrunoVisnadi> It doesn't matter that much what lefty liberal means, grassini was clearly calling other people in the forum of that
Being that he's posting here, it's likely he's referring to 1+ people. But you have to buy into his claim and believe it's about you to be insulted in the first place, since he could just as easily be referring to someone else who posted in this thread who is more extreme in whatever viewpoint you're going with than you are.
Personally, I stick with refusing to be defined, and let unspecified remarks always mean the "other" guy. Unless he specifically calls out a member or members of our site in an insulting manner, I cannot condone just terminating him. If people want to espouse a view which is extremist and exaggerated, as long as not directed at anyone in particular. so be it.

Oh, no, you can't be offended by that statement, because I didn't call YOU awful. I just called the administration of this site awful. If you're offended, then you're intentionally placing yourself in that group, and you're in the wrong for doing so, because what I just said wasn't a personal attack according to you. Pay no mind to the fact that you are explicitly a part of this group, and pay no mind to the fact that my statement is just a sweeping generalization of the entire site administration, which is guaranteed to include you. It's still not a personal attack against you, so you shouldn't be offended by it.
Agreed. I am not offended if you say the administration is awful. I think our administration can be better too.
Samsara wrote:
Do you see where I'm coming from, now? Is there really any difference between attacking someone personally and attacking a group that said person belongs to? No, there isn't.
If the group is an option, there certainly is a difference.
Samsara wrote:
By your logic, someone could come in here and say "White people deserve to die" and no one is allowed to be offended by it because it's not a personal attack.
Unlike other things, the color of a person's skin is what they're born with, they cannot change it. (Okay they can, but if someone dislikes the color of their own skin, they have to go to extreme measures to change it.)
Samsara wrote:
The fact that his comments are targeting the entire "lefty liberal" population means that I would have to change the entirety of my political ideals in order to not classify myself as part of the demographic he's insulting.

So it took all of 10 seconds to Google that link, one of the many times Pizzagate has been completely disproven, et cetera, et cetera. Why is it wrong for me or anyone else to think it's a completely futile effort to argue with someone who still vehemently believes it? The only reason I think anyone would even continue to mention it after all this time is either provocation or utter idiocy, and I'm choosing to take the high road by assuming it's provocation. This should be picked up by the moderation staff and dealt with accordingly.
Another option is that grassini mentioned it for satire. Or maybe Pizzagate is an example from him of how easy it is to get people to believe something completely untrue, which has happened a lot in this past election cycle.

And it's not about him "disliking what I like". He's intentionally spreading and defending misinformation. If someone had come in here and fabricated a story that Trump raped and murdered a child or something just as ridiculous, I would be just as appalled and offended by that spreading of misinformation. It doesn't matter who it's targeting or whether or not I agree with the targeted person. Ridiculous statements like that should not be tolerated, especially ones that are so easily disproven.
Except that's exactly what has been going on, and yet you were not outraged by it.
I hear all these people clamoring that Trump is XYZ and against ABC based on little to no evidence. As just one example, Trump is the madman who got up in front of the entire Republican convention, and said those who dislike LGBTQ are un-American and equated those against LGBTQ with being terrorists (video). Quite frankly, if anyone else would've done that at the Republican convention, they probably would've been forced off stage. Somehow, he got a standing ovation.
Point is, there's very little evidence for most of the positions ascribed to him. What little evidence there is though is usually taken way out of context. Granted there's plenty wrong with him, but honestly, I'm finding the majority of it wildly exaggerated.

You saw it as a much better use of your time to systematically deconstruct and combat my posts defending myself as opposed to, oh I don't know, telling grassini to tone down on his aggressive remarks and provocations, which you yourself admitted several times were "ridiculous" and "outrageous", yet at no point did you ever make a move to tell him to cut it out. By doing this, you're telling him his behavior is perfectly acceptable, which is basically ensuring that the thread is going to keep spiraling further and further downward, deeper and deeper into the personal attacks you're apparently working so hard to prevent.
Yes, since I like sticking up for Mothrayas, who has been a huge force for bettering the site. Many of the recent good things on the site are thanks to him, and I don't think he should be called out on asking for civility.
For grassini on the other hand, I don't think something "ridiculous" and "outrageous" warrants a comment. People are free to post "ridiculous" and "outrageous" things which are not intended to harm or insult our members. I would expect our intelligent members to be able to ignore and brush off "ridiculous" and "outrageous" for what it is.

Please moderate those ridiculous remarks and prove that it is fair moderation, then.
Such things require no moderation. Feel free to post about aliens abducting Santa Claus or Hitler secretly being anointed by George Bush, I doubt anyone honestly cares.

I'm sorry you feel that way. Please do not feel that way.
