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.

I think I made a mistake submitting a save state jrsr instead of the movie file. How do I update the movie file submitted? Or should I just cancel this and resubmit?

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.

All I wanted to do in the first place was any runs that were made my me, publish them to my own YouTube channel and monetise them so I can earn money from all the TASing that me and Dooty have done. Basically a bit like when Sonicpacker uploaded the Mario 64 120 star run.
Yeah, so mean.
Also

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!

Yes. It still doesn't work after I amended the script. I will encode the YouTube now and I will encode the MKV after.
I'm getting insane. I open your freaking script, fix the lines I told you to fix and it WORKS!

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.

Something similar was happening to me, but in totally different conditions. My original audio in SA2 tracks wasn't 2x long though, I got this happening only when trying to splice 2 segments with MP4Box, so I don't think it's related.

Not necessarily. I mean, if you refer to 2x encodes, they're not always needed.
Edit: How is Crash concerned here? Also, there it seems to be a single checkbox that I didn't tick that'd fix it.

Redo the downloadables. 4x native downscaled (by emulator) looks WAY better than plain original.
