Is OoT TASing dead? Someone hasn't posted in about 10 minutes. I know this topic is 10 years old, but this is serious.
@Mitijitsu seems like it. I can't think of how you would regain control after clipping though.

Uh no, he had no involvement in this improvement so why should he get credit?

Uh, ok? This seems like it's kind of arbitrary for rules, considering how you DO eventually kill Bowser. Voting No until this is either clarified or there's an encode.

Here let me argue against that.
God doesn't exist, so him being nice or not doesn't matter.
There, done.

Since I find the Atheist thread stupid and I'm not religious, I decided to make this topic.
The way I see an agnostic, it's somebody that neither believes nor disbelieves what God is. This of course can vary.
So yeah go ahead and chat you crazy munchkins.

Atheists don't exist, because the Bible defines God as "I am", and everyone has that sensation of existence within them, so everybody not only believes, but knows that God ("I am") exists.
Atheists don't believe in the Bible. So uh, why are you using the Bible as proof?

If the question uses an equivocation fallacy, how do you answer it (other than pointing out the error)?
His question was, and I'm quoting him on this:
Mitjitsu wrote:
While atheists claim to be atheists. Don't many of them still treat other aspects of life as if it were religion? Whether it be money, the state or celebrities.
Let's break this down.
1) He's saying atheists claim to be atheists, ok whatever.
2) Do many of them treat other aspects of life as if it were religion?
3) Example of 2)
So as you can see, the question was 'do they treat other aspects of life as if it were religion'.
An equivocation fallacy is when you use different meanings of words in different contexts. As far as I know, the words "while atheists claim to be atheists, don't many of them still treat other aspects of life as if it were religion?" is not a fallacy.
It's a question. He's asking a question. About atheists. In a topic called Ask an Atheist.

You seem to be confusing an atheist with a non-religious person. You also seem to have a very skewed view of what the term "religion" means (essentially you are committing an equivocation fallacy here.)
Technically speaking a Buddhist is an atheist, because Buddhists do not believe in a god. Obviously Buddhists can be deeply religious, but they still don't (usually) believe in any gods. (Some Buddhists probably also believe in Hinduism, which has craploads of gods, but that's a mixture. It's not pure Buddhism.)
Technically speaking Raëlians are atheists because they don't believe in a god. Their religion is ufology, and believe aliens created us, but they don't believe in gods.
You are also equivocating two completely different meanings of the word "religion" (probably on purpose): The literal meaning and the figurative meaning.
You didn't even answer his question.

Yes, the final flight, its absurd repetitiveness, is too long to actually watch and rewatch the whole run. And if one needs to skip, it doesn't sound like a good Star.

I am quite confused. The encode you provided is almost a year old. What was the delay for the submission?
Withholding judgement until this is clarified.

But the thing is, even if the difficulty level only affects enemy HP and nothing else, it still makes the game more difficult to play, and thus a perfect TAS more impressive.
What, no it wouldn't. It just gives them more HP. That just makes it longer, not more difficult.
You don't understand. The game is more difficult to play unassisted. That makes it more impressive to see it beaten by perfect gameplay.
Um, what? We're talking about just enemy HP being changed. If nothing else was changed, it wouldn't be any more difficulty unassisted.

I have played this game on Jedi. Jedi is brutal. That is why I would personally find it more entertaining (and satisfying) to watch someone destroy Jedi.
Yeah, because it would be so different. Except not really.
We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard
Yes, because TASing any Super Star Wars game in general is so easy. It only takes 138,000 rerecords (technically more across multiple files) and hundreds of hours for a simple 23 minute TAS. No big deal. I obviously didn't put any effort at all into the TAS, I just threw it out in a week completely unoptimized. I didn't restart give or take 7 times due to found improvements.
As Derakon put it:

So thank you, Tangent, for making me feel like shit even though all I did was what I was supposed to do. Thanks to everyone who decided to automatically disqualify the TAS for the difficulty choice.
I'm taking a break. See you guys in like a week.
