The following message was written by Darkman425.
Inspired by the recent thread by Memory discussing possible TASVideos content, I have decided to host a new type of site hosted event. The TASVideos TAS Jam is about making a TAS with a given theme, with the goal of completing a TAS during the event time. Everyone is welcome to join in, whether you're a newcomer who wants to learn how to make a TAS, a seasoned author who wants to expand their horizons, or anywhere else in their TAS production skills. Please check out the event's forum thread for more details and consider joining in. The deadline to submit to the TAS Jam is 30 June 2025 at 11:59 PM UTC.

libTAS 1.4.7 released! Download link: https://github.com/clementgallet/libTAS/releases/tag/v1.4.7 What's new: https://clementgallet.github.io/libTAS/2025/10/06/version-147.html https://github.com/clementgallet/libTAS/blob/v1.4.7/CHANGELOG.md
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.

The Direction of TASVideos and an Apology to the TASers We Pushed Away I wrote a post summing up the current and future direction of TASVideos and containing an apology for the TASers we pushed away in the past. Feel free to read and respond in the thread or to staff with any concerns and questions.
[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
