So that magically makes the music good? Kaizo was made when "this is hard" hacks were a brand new thing. That doesn't make it pretty, and it doesn't make its ugliness ok.
I agree with Prion that the music in this hack was bad. Additionally, I think a lot of the graphics changes are ugly, especially the over world and Mario's graphic on it, but also a lot of the stuff in the levels. Overall, I do not like this hack and never have.

If that's the run I think it is, it is quite optimized. Also another topic here though that run probably makes most/all of the discussion in it obsolete. I posted a demo somewhere in that topic of bugging/crashing the game in 2-2, but didn't even know how I caused it to happen and couldn't replicate it on my console.

I was only able to achieve victory by exploiting the demo nature of the program provided by CtrlAltDestroy, but I still think the solution is interesting. The move counter caps at 3001 moves.
I've not quite nailed down the mechanics of how it keeps track of which moves to undo after you have exceeded 3001, but I do know that it does not keep track properly. I think it keeps track of the first 3000 moves, then overwrites 3001 with the most recent move. So if you make move 2999, 3000, 3001, 3002, 3003, 3004 and then press backspace it will undo move 3004 and then move 3000. Sometimes this will allow impossible results, such as Ice Skating, or pushing blocks away from walls, or exiting the map and incurring error 6.
Most notable, it can be used to move the 10th block into position. I don't have a screenshot, but I did use this bug/feature to get a block back onto the conveyer belt as part of my solution.

Voting yes for an OoT run that I was actually able to watch all the way through. I thought I'd never see the day. Favorite part was the cock collecting. The rest was pretty uninteresting for me, but not so much (or long) that I turned it off.

Wait wait wait. So now we're only supposed to watch and rate a run if we think in advance that we will rate it highly? Then why do we even have a rating system if it's supposed to only be used by people who will rate highly, and not by any user who feels like it?

>>Why anyone want to celebrate officially getting a year closer to death is beyond me.
Or maybe they are celebrating having completed another year without death. It is a celebration of success, not of impending failure.

1) Friend zoning is explained early on in this topic as something that may be reduced by altering your attitude/behavior when approaching potential mates
2) Enterim and others freak out because we're a bunch of puerile misogynists. Women are agents.
3) grassini claims to get frequently friend zoned and explains his attitudes and behavior towards women.
4) Enterim suggests changing attitude/behavior to avoid being friend zoned/improve likeliness that a woman will "go for you".
5) Enterim is a puerile misogynist?
Please explain to me why I'm wrong, because wow.
particularly the parts about feeling the need to give equal weight to both sides when one is clearly truthful and the other is false
It's equal consideration, not equal weight. Once you have considered two mutually exclusive views, you can then choose that one is better than the other, and give it more weight. At this point you no longer need to bother with equal consideration, either. Also, it is a simple matter to claim that your perspective is objective truth and your opponents is false, I'm sure even nfq can do this.
I'm claiming the concept of the friend zone is misogynistic because it revolves around men feeling let down because their sense of entitlement over women.
For some people this is probably true. They feel any girl they want should have sex with them. I think these people objectify women and want to think they aren't agents. They approach many women and (in their view) too many of the approaches fail to have the desired result: sex. Instead they get something they may or may not want: a friend. They are upset because their expectations have not been met, and complain that they have been friend zoned. They believe there is some way they can change their behavior to increase the success rate closer to 100%. This person is complaining that they have (any) female friends who do not have sex with them. I agree that this person is a misogynist.
Some people are not conquerors, but wish instead to have a mutually affectionate romantic partner, and usually they are content to have one at a time. It is not imperative that a particular woman fulfill that roll, and when they approach women looking for someone to have a mutually affectionate romantic relationship with, it's not a huge deal if after a while they are friend zoned. They try again. After many attempts, and gaining many female friends, they do not complain that they have female friends. They do complain that they have not yet found a mutually affectionate romantic partner, and believe that their repeated failure in doing so must be a result of their methods and there is some way they can change it to increase their success rate to at least n=1 in the next several attempts. I do not consider this person a misogynist, therefore I do not believe the concept of friend zone is misogynistic. If you want to claim that a person seeking a mutually affectionate romantic relationship is a misogynist, go ahead, but I think it would be unhealthy for a person who wants a mutually affectionate romantic relationship to not actively seek one.

Personally, I think the most useful thing to do to the site on april 1 is to lock the workbench. And everything else. I can't wait for the day when april 1 has the same function as every other "holiday" in america: get drunk and forget what the original purpose of the holiday was.

>>... Also, this game needs a good TAS. I know efforts have fizzled somewhat over the years.
There is an incredible one on nicovideo. It was probably linked in the topic for this game. I'm too lazy to go find it.

I made cheese fries yesterday. Potato chopped up into sticks, cheese, broccoli sprouts chopped up into little bits (to get rid of them), cheese, and hamburger meat. Throw it all in the pan, heat it up, eat. Wasn't great, but was definitely super easy.

I'd assume that the law makers assumed a good percentage of teenagers are considered 'mature' enough to make decisions regarding sex by the age of 18.
Since we're just guessing (and guessing is fun!) I'm going to go with 18 is the typical/approximate age for an American to graduate from high school.
As for why a 17yo is child porn and not some more accurate term... anyone who expresses any opinion to change child porn laws to make them weaker in any way is clearly an evil and despicable person who will never hold political office and is ripe for smear campaigns about how they want a copy of the memory on that DS *and* pictures of YOUR seven year old. Just try to publicly defend yourself against that lie, see how far you get.
And yes, changing the term from child porn to underage porn or minor porn or whatever would be making it weaker in some way (social impact if nothing else).

How can you be sure until you print it out and wipe your ass with it? And you have to do it on toilet paper to be sure that it isn't the inferior paper that is so foul it's barely fit to wipe one's ass with.
