I know I can set it but I like to post publicly for potential feedback.
[16:36:31] <Mothrayas> I have to say this argument about robot drug usage is a lot more fun than whatever else we have been doing in the past two+ hours
[16:08:10] <BenLubar> a TAS is just the limit of a segmented speedrun as the segment length approaches zero
I would like to nominate RiYAN and CoolHandMike's Demons of Asteborg for stars. We put a lot of work went into it, and it looks great. Think it would fit into the star category nicely.

It’s way too early to determine if it’s star material.
Plus I don’t think it’s a good idea to nominate your own movies, considering the obvious bias.

12:33:44 PM <Mothrayas> "I got an oof with my game!"
Mothrayas Today at 12:22: <Colin> thank you for supporting noble causes such as my feet
MemoryTAS Today at 11:55 AM: you wouldn't know beauty if it slapped you in the face with a giant fish
[Today at 4:51 PM] Mothrayas: although if you like your own tweets that's the online equivalent of sniffing your own farts and probably tells a lot about you as a person
MemoryTAS Today at 7:01 PM: But I exert big staff energy honestly lol
Samsara Today at 1:20 PM: wouldn't ACE in a real life TAS just stand for Actually Cease Existing

I would like to make an endorsement for a Star acceptance for #9092: Arc & ShesChardcore's NES Maniac Mansion in 05:19.47. My arguments:
- This movie and its author have a 20-year-long!! history of non-trivial improvements
- For anybody familiar with the game, the current submission is beyond impressive. The disregard for the game's rules and the many glitches used makes for an amazing watch.
- It has received entirely positive comments and votes.
This to me an ode to dedication to a game, and the hobby of TASing. As a TASer, it makes me proud to showcase it as a banner of the passion we put into this.

Copied from Discord:
ok, I’ve watched through the Maniac Mansion run, read through the submission notes, and watched the human WR speedrun.
I am relatively familiar with adventure games and have TASed a few myself (i.e. [https://tasvideos.org/5505M]).
I have to agree with Niss3 [https://www.speedrun.com/posts/0kd4f] that this run didn’t immediately appear to have much stuff that’s obviously not human doable, but what it does, it does with excellent precision.
I’ve never played Maniac Mansion myself, so i know nothing of the difficulty or how much of the game is skipped in the speedrun. But what i can say, is that the TAS looks like a fairly typical adventure game speedrun, just played expertly.
I’m not set against it getting a star, but i don’t think that i can directly endorse it for one either.
