Starred [4126] PCE Genpei Touma Den by WarHippy, Mittenz, The8bitbeast & g0goTBC in 07:54.057. Not enough interest has been shown in other PCE movies at this time so I will be moving on. I've noticed that excluding Castlevania which mainly just has rpg elements, the only starred RPG for a non nintendo system is Diablo. I'd like to nominate [3863] Genesis Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millennium "macro glitch" by Jiseed in 20:33.04. It has some really fun glitches in there.

I'd like to announce that I am opening a Discord server for Transgender and Nonbinary TASers called the Trans/NB Assisted Superplayers! This is a place for trans and nonbinary tasers to interact and support each other. We also would like to host events and such as well! This is not a space restricted to TASVideos members by any means, so any trans/nb TASers are free to join! To access it simply fill out the application form. Social media updates can be found on our Bluesky: @tnbas.bsky.social. Plans are already underway to collaborate with Really Really Long A Thon and Frame Fatales for a marathon event taking place August 28th through September 1st 2026 where trans and nonbinary TASers are encouraged to submit! More information can be found in the discord. For those who might be worried, no I am not leaving TASVideos or anything, nor should this impact my duties in any way. I simply want to do more for TASing at large and give back to the trans and nonbinary individuals who contribute so much to our communities.

LLM processions is basically electricity consumption. Why don't you boycott Jaffar-Plus? It's a brute-forcer. It consumes electricity, like LLM datacenters, and you'll burn Gigawatts of electricity before actually achieving something useful in your TASes.
I actually am a little curious on the resource consumption of jaffar now. Admittedly the difference is that the scale is so different compared to running massive data centers, but I'm still curious.

From feedback through discord, I ended up starring: [4738] PC98 Touhou Kaikidan ~ Mystic Square "maximum score" by KirbyComment in 35:15.167 Now, let's talk the TurboGrafx/PC Engine family of consoles. No movies are starred from any of these systems, and yet there's a good amount of movies for them! Here is a list of all the TG16, TGCD, and SG movies listed by ratings. [4126] PCE Genpei Touma Den by WarHippy, Mittenz, The8bitbeast & g0goTBC in 07:54.057 was suggested in the Discord and is the highest rated of these movies. I'm interested to see what other people think and if anything else should be starred. EDIT: About NSMBWii, I'm not opposed if it gets some more support. While older 2D Mario games are extremely well represented in Stars, newer ones really aren't. Also the ice flower/penguin suit strats are sick. DK64 we'd need to come to some consensus about which goal. I'm also not opposed there.

ok I know what I said about not wanting too many Zelda stars but [6307] N64 The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time "Triforce% ACE Showcase" by Sauraen, dwangoAC & Savestate in 53:05.300 was such a different TAS that I felt was important to Star and got a good amount of support on the discord as well. Additionally, I replaced the star of [2473] DOS Jetpack by slamo in 32:22.550 with [6473] DOS Alone in the Dark by tigrou in 05:51.220. The latter is flashier, a more well known game and is a horror game which we don't have many stars of to begin with (I think just Resident Evil 4). I am far from opposed to giving Jetpack a star back at some point, but for most of its history, it was hard to separate it from how it was kinda pushed as a star largely by an admin and had some rather minimal support otherwise. If it gets support in the future I'd be happy to revisit it. In the meantime though, I'd like to talk Touhou. Touhou is mega popular, is of a genre that is frankly underexplored on tasvideos, and has some rather impressive gameplay. In particular, I'd like to focus on the shmups (not to knock touhou 1 but it's probably not what people expect of touhou). The scoring system of the shmups has some really interesting stuff going on in it, namely the Graze mechanic where you get extra points for getting close to enemy projectiles, resulting in gameplay where you get close to the bullets. I know a lot of people here generally seem to prefer speed based TASes or playarounds, but I know the STG score scene is fairly prominent outside of our sphere and I would like to appeal outwards, not just inwards. The publications I would like to discuss: I'd like people's thoughts on this.

I just starred [6756] 3DS The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds by p4nc4k3 in 1:12:35.000. I felt it was best to have a second 3DS Star in addition to Garfield Kart and A Link Between Worlds got the most support. As such, I'm not suuuuuuuuuuuuper into the idea of adding another Zelda Star (TMC) right away. Definitely will need to watch that movie at some point however!

I definitely liked that V6 run quite a lot, but I'm not quite sure if I wanna move over V6 All Trinkets No Death Mode's Star to it. If they weren't both all trinkets, I would definitely feel ok with having both Starred, but I'd like a little diversity. EDIT: Starred it.

I starred Kuru Kuru Kururin due to support here and in the discord. Gonna have to take a look at V6, I know "No Death Mode" is already starred, would have to compare. EDIT: Also for what it's worth, on the Discord my focus has been on 3DS Stars. Currently we have Garfield Kart starred, but I am interested to hear about other possibilities.

Starred [4662] NES Legacy of the Wizard by Lord_Tom in 12:44.491 I'm also announcing that I'm now working with darkman425 and inputevelution and plan to consult them on various star candidates, especially when there's not always much current community feedback for a candidate.

Per discussion on discord, [5399] GBC Pokémon: Crystal, Silver and Yellow Version "Co-op Diploma" by gabraltar in 6:56:24.504 is now Starred. I'd still be interested in adding other glitchless rpg TASes to stars, and rpgs in general for that matter. Ikuyo brought up on discord [1555] SNES Final Fantasy V & VI by neo_omegon in 3:52:15.967. While the ratings are low, it was made in a different era and people had different standards back then. I can definitely imagine it having an audience if people are willing to support it. I'm bringing up [5288] NES Dragon Warrior IV by adelikat in 1:56:29.29. For those not in the know, Dragon Quest (formerly Dragon Warrior in the US) is stupid popular in Japan and was massively influential on JRPGs as we know them. This movie has some pretty good ratings as well. Unlike with the pokemon co-op diploma, these aren't either or suggestions, you can support both, neither, or make your own.

Due to support on discord as well as on site, [7249] GC Wario World by EZGames69 & inconsistent in 30:57.267 is now Starred. So the way I see Stars is that it should be the generic answer to the question "What are some cool TASes?" without knowing what the person asking is into. As such I would like to tackle some underappreciated genres and also types of tases. Notably, I know glitchless RPG speedrun is a big thing in the RTA scene and we really don't have any glitchless RPG stars right now. I'd like to see what people would think about Starring one of the Pokemon co-op diploma runs. They are: Personally I'm leaning towards Gen 2 since it has the highest ratings but I'm definitely open to suggestions otherwise!

We had a discussion amongst staff where I volunteered to spearhead the revival of Stars, and it was met with heavy support. However, I will be running things a bit differently. Firstly, in addition to the thread, I will be opening a channel in the Discord Server where suggestions and discussions of Stars candidates will be welcome. In addition, I plan to pay more attention to the different forms in which runs can be entertaining besides old TASVideos metrics. I might want to overhaul some guidelines we'll see. I have a number of star candidates in mind already I would like to talk about as well. I will also be making Kirby's Dream Land 3 Starred, so please focus your feedback on Wario World now. Reminder to be respectful of people's TASes even if you don't personally like them and if you don't like something, please respectfully indicate as such.

We have finally overhauled our requirements page for accepting new TAS frameworks. The page was previously written with primarily emulators in mind, but the page is now written to be friendly to single game tools such as CelesteTAS and GZ, the Ocarina of Time Practice ROM as well as large scope frameworks that are not emulators by definition such as libTAS. As TASers adapt new and creative ways of TASing games, we must keep up and accept these sorts of tools as well. If you are interested in us accepting any sort of TASing framework, please reach out to an administrator or an administrator assistant. Also worth noting that these requirements are by no means final. If you have concerns that a framework you're using does not pass the requirements listed, we would be happy to discuss and negotiate. There is also discussion in Thread #22894: Potential support for single game/series/engine tasing tools.

[3760] SNES Kirby's Dream Land 3 "best ending" by WaddleDX in 1:04:01.224 that's right I'm bringing this one up again. It has great ratings, there's no Kirby movies that are currently starred, and it's fun and creative co-op action with a lot of cool movement techniques and tricks. Seriously it's one of the tases I go back to and watch every so often. EDIT: Apparently [7249] GC Wario World by EZGames69 & inconsistent in 30:57.267 had a couple people suggesting stars in the submission thread. We should probably consider that as well.

I updated the requirements for new TAS frameworks page. It should finally be up to date to what we've currently been accepting. Of course, if we run into something that doesn't quite fit these guidelines, we're willing to negotiate.

Finally got around to watching this and dustforce sure is as absolutely sick to watch as I remember it being back in the 2010s. Well done to you all. Easy recommendation for Stars once it's published.

I heard that the sonic gcn tas community made a statement against itspersonnal's actions and if that's right, good on em. I really just wouldn't want to see a tas get supported by a community that supported bigotry. As long as that's not the case, I don't see any reason to hold beef with them. Feel free to post the tas as much as you want.

I knew the user quite well and was once friends with him. I've talked to people who ended up in rather dark places mentally thanks to him. I don't want him to hurt anyone else like that again.
