Where is the publication of this PC version?
Oh, I meant the same runs that you linked to.
The DooMed Speed Demos Archive also has lots of TAS movies, but you need to navigate through the large database to find a specific run. The site is updated regularly (once a week), but only publishes the input files.

Thank you for educating me on how to feel about jokes. You obviously don't understand the emotional side of the issue. *sob*
Okay, let's look at the threads that allegedly had the innocent meme appear on the first page...
Oh, gosh! It is much worse than I thought...
We can see that one of the threads has the so called "joke" immediately in the first reply while the other thread has it in the 6th reply. So, when a beautiful lady thread is created, it takes only 3.5 replies on average for a misogynist to hijack it from us. That is no humor. That is abuse.
Interestingly, the first offender looks like a monstrous baby while the other is a baby-sized monster with a silly high-pitched voice:
What a strange cave we have stumbled upon... It looks like there are no real men here either... Looks more like an ayahuasca-induced shamanistic trip to me... =)
By the way, are you a man? ^__^

Can we tas it? Can we tas It Came from the Desert?
Giant ants make no sense due to the problem of oxygenating their organs, but the TAS might be nice to see as the game has a unique setting and somewhat atypical gameplay.
I bet the game has lots of bugs! ^__^

Reminds me of hearing about my grandmother working the factories during WWII.
That is interesting. Reminds me of hearing about my mother's mother's father getting a supersonic grenade shrapnel through his skull during the Winter War. Intense stuff. It happened in the Battle of Raate Road. It was about 75 years ago. My grandmother was 10 at the time. She still remembers how her mother went outside to identify the body that was brought home. A heartwrenching story. She also remembers how they had to use black curtains to hide the lights of all houses from the enemy bombers. What a nightmarish period of childhood it must have been. However, being a strong woman like me, my grandmother is a happy person and thankful for all the nice stuff that the great RNG of life dropped at her.
My father once told me about an old man he used to know. The man had been in a machine gun squad during the war. Apparently, one of the problems with operating a machine gun was that the effectiveness of the tool was so inhumane that it was sometimes impossible to not puke while shooting the helpless enemy soldiers. I can't imagine how it must have felt sitting deep in the snow at a camouflaged position, when suddenly... the clueless enemy approaches. At some point you have to make the decision to start killing. RRRRRR! Easy targets. RRR!RRRRRR! Twitching and screaming fellow human beings. *puke*
So, what's your war memory?

I’ve said it before in the other topic already but there’s no need for you guys to try to protect them by saying that displaying their genre is a bad idea and should be removed. Not a single female has been against this idea, it’s all guys thinking the poor girls must be protected from abuse.

I just noticed this thread. Thanks, this was a good read. I am always pleased to see people learning and thinking together. If you haven't got the interest to read the whole thread, I would recommend looking at the comments made by Nach, Bisqwit and TheAxeMan.
My two cents: I think that the ancient biological and social development of Homo sapiens naturally produced "men" and "women", but this state of affairs is slowly disappearing (maybe altogether?) as the development of science and democracy are freeing the species from its natural constraints.

I guess only the first three options would be enough.
Let me understand something. You wanted people to treat you in a specific way due to your archaic conception of self-identity, but at the same time you think that all other individuals could be cateorized into just three groups? Isn't that a bit arrogant?

I mean that you could take consideration on whatever gender you are and answer their responses in the correct way just to not mess up like this again.
The correct way is to never make unfounded assumptions.

And "there are no women on the internet" is a meme. It's humor.
It would not be humor to you, if you identified yourself as a woman and somebody used the joke as a weapon to diminish your status. Humor is a method that a group can use to invigorate its endogenous tribe mentality. Think of all the racist/blonde jokes you have heard. Are they just humor? No. They are social tools for increasing one's own social status by lowering the status of others. What better way to gain acceptance than make people laugh? Also, how often have you heard someone telling a racist/chauvinist joke that mocks the person who is telling the joke? The answer is quite revealing. The funniest joke is seldom on you. I have a friend who is fascinated by gay jokes (almost to the point that I would call him a gay joke hobbyist), but at the same time he despises jokes about men who have performed non-military service. Not surprisingly, he has done non-military service.

Further, as expressive as language is, language alone is deficient in its ability to truly capture how a person feels. As advanced as our languages are today, they cannot express everything.
As Noam Chomsky puts it: Language did not originally develop for communication. Language developed primarily as a tool for thinking. That is why communicating with language delivers so little. Communication is peripheral to language.

What is the point of showing user gender on the forums? Genderism is a potentially discriminatory social construct that has nothing to do with a piece of text displayed on an Internet forum, so why? Why would anyone want to label their mind with contingent labels?

So, religion is god for some people? Makes sense. That would explain why bigotry exists.
By the way, thanks for driving the bus! I really appreciate it.

The current run misses a small trick. In the beginning of the game, hit punch as early as possible to skip the short animation where the player wakes up. The frame of opportunity is around frame 532. This punch should save about 30 frames. Anyone up to redoing the run?

I have not watched the whole run, but I enjoyed some of the autoscrollers I saw, because it was different and relaxing. It was fitting for a game that is so colorful and strange. Filling all idle time with generic ADHD action could be worse than just being still.
I remember some musician saying that it takes talent to play well, but even more talent to know when not to play. Similarly, a good surgeon knows when to cut, but it takes a really experienced one to know when not to cut. I believe there are very few tasers who know when it would be better to idle than move around. It is too much fun to do everything all the time.

Thank you for the answer. Here's the next question:
Our team members have produced multiple awesome submissions that are not Metal Force. How many extra points do we get?
