do you think that you are currently feeling creatively 'burned out'?
My powers are currently spent more on problems that aren't even closely related to this site, they've always been there, but being known for my obsession with everything new, I got it from most of tas-related things, and now it became really really hard to find even newer things within here, or at least those that would fit my abilities. I'm about to finally start DW pacifist, but otherwise what I feel about the rest is somewhat close to "burned out".
Not giving thanks to anyone just yet, or people would think the thread is closed :)

I've just found out that Pete's OpenGL plugins (both) automatically apply some kind of true antialiasing no matter what resolution you use. So even at 1x, polygons look way better than with soft plugins.
Then, I tried bilinear downscaling once again, and at least how avisynth does it, lanczos is in all terms better than bilinear.
Finally, it doesn't matter for SD what resolution you downscale from, polygins look the same as at 1x. But sprites look sharper at 1x. So it does make sense to dump at 1x with Pete's plugins for SD and at any hires you can afford for HD (old OpenGL seems to have tearing glitches when not using integral factors though).
To clarify, previously I thought antialiasing is when one simply increases internal resolution. But it appears that these 2 options can be divided: true multisampling is when whatever resolution you use gets rendered at way higher resolution and then then downscaled for you so that you don't see any saw on polygons, while increasing internal res simple renders at that res and that's it. Then there's anisotropic filtering for objects that are far away. Dolphin combines all of those, and it's tremendous! Pete's OpenGL plugins do the first 2. Desmume hires increases rendering res and has an option to additionally antialias it. Not sure about mupen. OctoShock has neither!

My notion on myself has always been something like "I have energy, I do things that are not mainstream but awesome, I am trying to evolve hence I am evolving, I am trying to be correct hence I am correct". And sometimes all of those appeared to fade out, which was not taken seriously by me at first, I was trying to argue against it, but now I'm sure that I actually was changing, losing energy, distracting, and convincing myself it all was not so didn't help me.
My main problem is that I lose the feeling of something new and unique that was always driving my activity, and I don't know where to take it again from. And as always, that includes inability to look at myself from perspectives of other people without becoming an argument geek.
So in this thread I ask you all (who know me) to post anything you think I am/was/have been doing wrong, except that I wish there's no emotions involved, just your impression of my dark side. And I promise to not argue against anything, but ponder. After all it's the newest info I can get from anywhere right now. So please if you disagree with something I tend to do, post it.

Here's another WIP up to 4-4, with overall 64 frames of improvement.
And the difference from the published run?

I wonder how far you'd need to go to the past to set up all the needed factors to make her appear there in the first place. Because the world does not yet have a routine to appear random girls in front of you at all.

BTW, I took Moth's advise to concentrate more on publishing and less on judging, so I'm not claiming as many runs for judgment as I did before (I still do it consistently). So if there's a run that isn't claimed for a long time, I request other judges to finally handle them.

Amazing! I love it!
EDIT: I advise to use a lossless codec for gifs (lagarith is best).

Your 40k view TAS would get you $100
Sam's best uploads have 40k-100k views, and there're only 4 of those that are Abe related. Looks like he only has some promotion on the RTA side. Sonicpacker's best vid has (drum-roll) over 4 million views (the next 2 best having 1m and 500k views)! And he doesn't actually need promotion since this is already the place where people would go for some new SM64 content (but he gets highly promoted anyway I guess).
So I really don't expect any of the newer Sam's TASes to get over 10k views, even if posted on his channel, even if used in publication modules, even if made on BizHawk.

Have you read the first part of my post? You're stating that you want to upload all your encodes to TVC, then you call me mean for not allowing you to do it because you originally wanted to upload them to your own channel. You can still upload them to your channel all you want, just don't expect us to add them to publication modules.

Ok. That will be great to be an enocder and then next time Dooty and I submit an Abe TAS, I will enocde it to the TASVideos channel then.

Yeah, so mean.

Super Mario 64 "120 Stars" - 431 489 views.
Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus "100%" - 812 views.
Like there's anything to monetize...

Reading the thread and submission, not having watched it myself yet (will do soon), I want to ask a question: how many people really think this should be starred?

He fucked it all up completely, Encoder rank was taken away forever, no one should return in.
The only thing Sam is allowed to do is temp encodes on his own channel, I will never use any of his encodes for any publications.

Anty-Lemon is the person to crack longest Dolphin runs just like that and so she's a publisher now! Yay!

A = AVISource ("movie.avi", "movie_02.avi")
B = AVISource ("movie.avi", "movie_02.avi")
What' the point? Just leave
AVISource ("movie.avi", "movie_02.avi")
as it is originally.

I downloaded the package and set stackNDSscreens to true and it worked instantly!

Redownload the package. Go to line 54 and set stackNDSscreens to true. You were using some hacky stuff instead that you shouldn't have used.

Also: do not encode downloadables with the third screen! It doesn't make sense as they're anyway native resolution. Only for HD encode there's this option.
