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.

[6350] NES Arkanoid "warpless" by eien86 & Chef_Stef in 10:20.61
I recently discovered that if you haven't reached a level of frustration with TASing any game, then you haven't done your due diligence. ---- SOYZA: Are you playing a game? NYMX: I'm not playing a game, I'm TASing. SOYZA: Oh...so its not a game...Its for real? ---- Anybody got a Quantum computer I can borrow for 20 minutes? Nevermind...eien's 64 core machine will do. :) ---- BOTing will be the end of all games. --NYMX

[6618] NES Sweet Home by Samsara, stevenqbeatz, AmaizumiUni & kill_me in 08:57.33 - Strong contender for my TAS of the year, as a representative of everything I love about TASes. [6687] NES Pac-Man Championship Edition "All Achievements" by JoshIsCoolio in 08:56.73 - Solid debut with lots to love. [6774] NES Celeste Mario's Zap & Dash! "101 moons" by fella8 in 21:10.075 - Fast, fun, and well crafted. [6918] NES Spacegulls by Induviel & DrD2k9 in 04:44.897 - Another of the kind of movies I can't help but love. [6783] NES Super Pitfall "demo glitch" by Arc, Alyosha & AmaizumiUni in 03:56.411 - One of my candidates for Glitchy TAS of the year as well.
