It's not a troll submission, it's just old. And slash-star-dash was a newbie at the time. :P

Alright, I managed to find the PSU I wanted originally: Corsair HX520W, with its awesome 24 dBA fan and 82–88% efficiency all around. Saved fifteen bucks and solved the excessive power issue both at once. :) The CPU cooler is the only missing prerequisite for assembly at this point. Can't wait to see all this hardware in action!

Where I [used to] post at least once per month on average: • SDA; • Shmups.com forums; • Metroid2002 (currently inactive there); • Super-Play!; • CAVE-STG; • Hydrogenaudio.org (currently inactive there); • Shrinemaiden.org forums; • iXBT.com [Russian]; • Vorbis.org.ru [Russian] (currently inactive there); • Rockbox forums (currently inactive there). Won't bother listing my RSS items (there are over 50) and social services.

Wow, glad my suggestion proved useful. Looks a lot more fluid now! I expect over 15 seconds' worth of saving over Yrr's WIP by the time you finish Death. Can't wait. :)

I went with Lord Tom because no matter what the game is, he still makes it his bitch.

No, no, I wrote "a player is also a renowned editor".

Oh, that makes sense. Except I don't quite see the limits to this. What if a publisher made a TAS and also coded an emulator? What if a player is also a renowned editor, like, say, FractalFusion?

Who said anything about Ninja? Admin and coder have always been apart of the site. When did they leave?
I'm using this line, taken from Bisqwit's old forum title, as an example of excessive regalia. At one point that was abolished almost completely and now we're gradually building towards that again, except now it's automatic.

The purpose of the clash rank would be to keep have both a site (staff) contribution indicator as well as the usual TAS contribution part of the rank.
What's the purpose of a separate indicator?

As far as those people also getting promoted to other duties, the solution there needs to be do have a slash ranking. Judge / Expert Player. Such a system is on the TODO list.
So we're returning to "ninja, coder, admin" again? Truly, the history goes in circles. What exact purpose does this stuff serve?

I'd be against lowering the points to 1500 purely so that more players could have the rank. […] I wouldn't be opposed to reducing Expert Player to 1500 to break up the gap a bit
:D
Mukki wrote:
I am still definitely of the opinion that there should be a highest rank that only a minority of TASers will have the ability to achieve. Perhaps having Expert be 1500 and having Ninja as 2500 or 3000.
Maintain, not achieve. Achieving them means nothing because it isn't recorded anywhere. Once you lose the rank it's effectively like you never even had achieved it, making the whole idea nearly moot.

Is there a page where you can see how many of these points you (or someone else) has? I've looked around for a way to find out how many points I have, but without any luck. (I'd like to avoid calculating it myself)
You can see it here, but the page doesn't work so you actually can't.

I lost about 830 frames on the Kicker Skeleton, I wasn't strong enough to kill the Skeleton in time for the elevator.
Is there any soul on your way that could kill the Kicker Skeleton faster? There should be enough time to get any if that allows you to kill it in time.

If you're using your laptop for work and your work (or hobbies, for instance) happens to involve large amounts of data it's not going to be productive to have a small drive. I'm rather the kind of person that doesn't enjoy having to carry an external USB drive wherever I go.

I have a mixed opinion on SSDs. Theoretically their technology does allow a lot better performance as well as longevity margins. But practically they have only recently started surpassing top-of-the-line HDDs in non-random performance while still retaining a very high per-GB cost and longevity issues with certain OS/filesystem combinations producing a lot of small writes that wear down the cycle count really quick. Currently I see two possible uses for an SSD. 1. System/temp storage drive. It will likely surpass any amount of surplus RAM in overall performance gain due to eliminating one of the main bottlenecks, and it doesn't have to be large (32 to 64 GB is already enough). Disadvantage: will probably need an increase of rewrite cycle count by an order of magnitude to be safe (by my notion of being reasonable). 2. Laptop drive. Will save a lot of battery, drastically improve speeds, and decrease the amount of moving parts, which is very good. Disadvantage: needs to be larger (below 128 GB just won't cut it, and I'd rather have 256+) and less expensive. That is all assuming using a good drive like the aforementioned Intel X-25M. As the technology progresses SSDs will fully surpass HDDs at the point where the latter will approach the limit of data density (which is already pretty close at hand — modern drives are close to storing data at molecular level).

Still it might be nice to have a clearer definition on the "heavy". Is it heavy when there is luck manipulation that a real time run could never do and that saves a minute or is it just a run with a lot of luck manipulation in it?
More like the first one, or both.

This sounds completely wrong. I have seen your first posts on TASVideos, and compared to those, your current level of English is really good. I'd even go as far as to say it's on par with many native speakers here. You have made amazing progress even if it doesn't look like that from your own standpoint. :) (That being said, I decided to vote for Aglar because of his consistently good and creative output combined with unexpected game choices.)

Ah, so it wasn't for the fact of extra experience but rather because you just shuffled the RNG to a more acceptable number?

Goddamn polished. :o Though I didn't really understand if getting extra xp was 10 frames slower or "payed off nicely".

My opinion: - skip the credit roll if it's faster, we already have it featured in the any%, so nobody will really miss it; - don't finish any stages twice, it's completely unnecessary; - do the extra stages in whatever order is faster; - finish the TAS on a 100% completion confirmation screen (option #2 in your list).
