Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

Will old games retain former priority when being judged? Because I see the tendency that a perfect receipt to get a Star is to TAS a side-scroller Flash game which simply wasn't made with super-fast mouse movements and 999 FPS provisioned by libTAS in mind
TASing is like making a film: only the best takes are shown in the premier.

How many Flash TASes are there which do this and have a star?

<dwangoAC> This is a TAS (...). Not suitable for all audiences. May cause undesirable side-effects. May contain emulator abuse. Emulator may be abusive. This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects.

<adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.

OK, how does this relate to this TAS? This TAS is modified to run at a LOWER framerate than normal because it desynced at anything higher.

One movie I was extremely surprised to discover wasn't starred is [2513] SNES Super Mario World "arbitrary code execution, playaround" by Masterjun in 02:25.19.
On top of being entertaining inside and outside the TAS itself and being critically acclaimed, this is a very important movie when it comes to the glitches used (it's literally the first TAS on the site with the "Executes arbitrary code" tag). Maybe it even deserves the ? block symbol, like the Pokémon Yellow ACE TAS.

It is still the oldest active TAS with this tag, but about 6 now-obsoleted TASes were made before, including a SMW game end glitch TAS using the same ACE method as this movie and an older Pokemon Yellow ACE playaround.

Shoot, I forgot that the filter system automatically filters out obsolete TASes. Still, I think my point about this movie's importance still stands

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
