The only problem I had was with the conversion from bk2 to tasproj. Every time we launch TAStudio while a bk2 movie is running, it is converted but it still starts a new movie.
The solution seems to be to close TAStudio immediatly after confirming it (maybe the emulator too? I'm not sure), then launch it again and open the converted tasproj.
Try to do this: open TAStudio > File > Open > File type > All files > *your .bk2 file*
Works just fine for me with 1.11.9.1
Edit: Invariel 20 seconds faster :O thankfully my life is not a TASing contest. :)
If I try to convert like that, TAStudio breaks the movie once I modify anything.
All the input vanishes and if I try to open the file again it resumes from where I saved the last branch even though I didn't check the auto-restore box or even save the modified file.
The only way I can use it properly is like I said, open the bk2 in Bizhawk, launch TAStudio, confirm the conversion and close it, then launch TAStudio again and finally open the converted file.

What problems are you having with BizHawk, pirate_sephiroth?
I could not get TAStudio to work properly. It was very unstable, showing frequent error pop ups and crashing the emulator.
Today I switched to the latest dev build and it seems better. I was able to use TAStudio without big issues.

Also what's the deal with the CPU usage? Even without any rom loaded it still uses more CPU than Firefox on a simple page, like discordapp.com

Monster Hunter is ultra boring and repetitive. Not even a TAS can save it.

On the 18th, I recommend assigning teams randomly, as a preliminary, so that we have a chance to say hi to each other and all that. And to give us a chance to reassign before the proper start. And all those nice things about having teams ahead of time. Put anyone who hasn't made any input about which team in italics.
If you can, put me in the winning team. If you're having trouble, it means the team that gets 1st place in a few months. All you need to do is have information travel backward through time by a bit over 3 months, don't even have to send physical particles back through time. I'm sure whatever algorithm you come up with to put me in the winning team will be satisfactory.
EDIT: Of course, I mean that second paragraph as a joke. But just in case, I'm letting you know that in small text. Sarcasm detection isn't perfect.
The winning team is obviously the one I'm in, if I decide to join.
I'm very concerned about the game choice though. The other 2 contests we were in had some mediocre games that weren't particularly fun to play (especially Rockin' Kats).
It seems Dark Kobold isn't involved in this one so maybe the game choice will be better

I said I would finish this, but didn't really have the time until now.
Up until now, my life in college had been nothing less than a farce, and it gave me some serious psychological problems which I still have trouble dealing with to this day. I want to kind of link this with how I found out about TASing in the first place.
Perhaps my biggest problem is that I set out perfect expectations for myself. I got into a lot of high skill hobbies like this (like playing shmups). This comes from, I think, my desire to be recognized, to have some attention drawn to myself: displaying high or near-perfect skill was my way to try and get that recognition. But it also comes from my family.
My family consists of me, my mom, my grandmother, and my uncle. My mom still lives with her grandmother because we don't have the means to move out. My mom used to sleep in the center room, where she was close to my uncle's room. But my uncle didn't really care about my mom at the time: he would play on his whatever-console at the time up until 2 to 3 am (and later on yell audibly, as he was playing online. This has been happening for as long as I can remember and was the start of my mother's destruction. She tried a few methods to supress it, including asking nicely, using ear plugs, and finally listening to audio books to fall asleep. But no matter what, my uncle was still hearable.
They fought verbally. Gradually, over time, my mom and my uncle started to get on more and more verbose fights, lasting for longer. My grandmother was also kind of an enabler for my uncle, as she didn't really give a shit as long as it didn't affect her. And then the fights weren't about my uncle staying late, it was now about other things in addition, like telling her that she was a leech and a piece of shit, and so on. It escalated to its summum when I was at the end of college: they fought for two hours, and it ended with my mom pinning my uncle to the ground and trying to strangle him, which followed by my grandmother calling the police and my uncle leaving the house for a few days. While my uncle was walking out, my mom tried to kill him by throwing a rock at him (it missed).
Since then my uncle doens't have internet access (which gets him to sleep earlier, depending on his degree of benevolence in the current day) and I've taken my mother's room because I was worried she was actually going to kill him one day. After all this, my mom didn't go much better. It was very gradual (over a couple of years, and still going on today) and she became much more angrier in general, and lost the ability to care. She still keeps the habit of listening to audio books before sleeping (which makes her very angry, as in yelling at me really hard, when I'm not able to get her music ordered right on her physical MP3 player - yet she keeps all her audio books unsorted in a single folder..) It's a little hard to explain, but she kind of shifted a lot of her anger on me instead. Basically I'm the only hope for her now (as she hopes I get a good job and miraculously save our entire situation) so I'm told to study hard and mindlessly to get good grades for now and a good job for later.
I used to have a motherly figure that I could mostly always rely on when things went south, where I was not sure how to proceed, or simply needed some affection (which I relied on a lot since I had very little good friends in college). That figure faded away gradually and since I'm out of college, that figure doens't really exist anymore.So basically I don't really have much to rely on anymore.
Going back, this is why I aimed for perfection. I wasn't able to see this and thought that to get back the love I had been denied, I simply had to be perfect, or something really close to that. Because when I wasn't, then I would get blamed by my mom, so it was my fault as I could simply improve and not be blamed anymore, right?
On a tangential point, although I am trying to supress this logic today, it still comes back a lot when I don't expect it: a derived idea, the idea of being a perfect individual so that I don't have to withstand blame. As I mentioned in my earlier post, I'm hypersensitive, so for me it hurts a lot when I'm blamed. I don't mean blame as I can withstand criticism (which is pretty constructive for me) and can withstand all negative
comments, but blame really gets through and eats straight at my heart. It goes somewhere along the lines of I could have avoided to have done [something bad], but now I've done [something bad] and it's your fault.
I'll go more into detail into this as we go in lycée (the equivalent of high school).
Along with this demon, was something else: the urge to fit in. I knew that keeping up a facade was useless, yet I kept hanging out with people who did not care about me, and I ignored their mockery about me, motsly because I didn't get it at the time. In fact I was physically there with people a lot in college, but got to talk so little at some points the extent of the words I said to my 'friends' were hello, and getting anything else in (usually related to videogames) was a blessing in itself.
So I craved for affection because I was starting to be denied it, and I tried to be perfect because in my mind it was how it would get people to care about me. (It 'worked', and I got some people who were interested in my skills, then I then hanged on to those relationships as long as possible, in fear of being alone again.)
When I entered lycée, it was a very scary environnement, because I knew nothing. I stuck to some faces who I knew from college, and they recognized me, so they slowed down, and I slowed down to stick with them. Then they told me to fuck off and sped up. I stuck to other familiar faces from college who wouldn't reject me, then got thrown into a class where I knew mostly nobody.
At this point the same thing repeats: I get some friends, then hang to them for as long as possible. And I got in some toxic relationships again, where I would accept being trashed over and over in order to satisfy myself. In fact there was a guy who took advantage of this, mostly toying with me for the entire school year because he knew I would come back for more.
And in my relationships, I made mistakes. And with the mindset I was in, mistakes were the worst kind of things to do, because they were things you could actually avoid. The people I were with in particular basically were in a completely different level from me (and I managed to butt in because I had good grades and was useful when they needed to do some homework) and so would know to blame me really hard. For example, I followed them when they were going to the forest to smoke some joints, and I found that the scenery was quite beautiful, so I took out my 3DS (with camera) to take some photos around.
And then I had a kind of sudden realisation. These people I hung out with and really hated, couldn't I take a photo of them in the woods smoking and then do something with it eventually? So I suddently turned around and took a picture, then they mostly understood, went away from me, and faked going back to school but taking a different path (knowing I was going to follow them under mine). I followed back, went back to school and they went happily without me.
This is the kind of "mistakes" I made: ones fueled by anger about my situation. I would say something out of pure hate, and they would blame me. And it would be all the blame of me, because it was my fault for even hanging out with them in the first place out of the fear of being disliked; I was a piece of shit and they had given me the honor of letting me accompany them, and speaking up was disallowed.
Eventually, in the middle of the year, one guy from the group told me how and why I was a piece of shit, giving me examples from all my mistakes I made. And I tried to argue, but I couldn't argue against my mistakes because they were half mistakes and half anger. He told me, I cried in the back of the classroom, they called me a piece of shit for crying, and I couldn't hang out with them anymore. I spend the last half of the year geniunely alone, without anyone to talk to; the only things I said were to the teachers, and I didn't speak a single word out of the classroom. I still desesperately craved for affection, but now I was a piece of shit (and the guy's rebuttal made sense to me since I couldn't refute him, so I unfortunately believed him) so I didn't have the merit to have any friendships or affection.
When I was back home I thought I had a source of love, something that could keep me going - but it wasn't there anymore now.
In my opinions these were the darkest days of my life, and also the most useless. I can't remember anything that had actually happened within the last half-year of my first year of college. I hated myself, and the world seemed to agree that I was a piece of shit, so I was destined to be one. I would have probably killed myself here if it weren't for the fact that my mom told me to never killed myself (as I would totes have a better life later) which I believed fervently, and TASing!
Unlike in the real world, in TASing you could actually be perfect. So all criticism was justified, and suddently the negative environnement of blame turned into something that could be geniunely refined into something beautiful and perfect. A full TAS is something you can really cherish in my opinion, because it's something you can really appreciate as a body of work. In my opinion, there is no greater feeling than destroying and mastering a game from inside out, and transforming and appropriating it to yourself (you can see this in good TASes, where the TASer masters and kind of expresses himself through the game).
So TASing had made me goals to work for, something I could put constructive work in, and something where I could both enjoy something and express myself. It has mostly saved me from really killing myself, because if I could still create things like this, in spite of all my flaws, and that I though of myself as a piece of shit and so on, then my existence is worth it.
I've probably rediscovered passion and joy through TASing, so that's why it still is pretty important for me. The means, in general, to work without pressure, as long as you want, on a single body of work, until it becomes perfect, while still giving the opportunity to really express yourself (I can't find a way to word this better..), is something that I can't find anywhere else.

There's a lot of widespread criticism on the game. Over the years its reputation already had been soiled because of the various delays, and the release hasn't gone over much better judging from reviews and the way the rest of the internet talks about it now.
Personally, I got my backer keys yesterday, played the game for a moment yesterday evening, and really enjoyed it so far.
The controls and gameplay are tight and fast, it has fairly challenging platforming action, and you get to blow up robots and take their weapons. That's basically what I want from a game like this.
I couldn't care less about the trailer, graphics, plot, cutscenes, voice acting, or whatever else people were complaining about. I wasn't bothered about the delays either, as I never was in a rush to play the game (and I got to play a demo of it at Gamescom last year anyway).
I don't regret choosing to back it back in 2013.
It isn't a bad game but definitely doesn't look like it costed 4 million dollars.

"From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs"
tbh only shameless parasites like communism.
Anyway TAS is just a hobby. Your dad is right about it being a big joke and a waste of time. Maybe you should remind him that he has his useless hobbies as well.
Just do it in your free time and enjoy it while it feels interesting.
You'll eventually find more interesting things to do.
Just don't take anything in life for granted.
Most hobbies are useless but thinking too much about the future is also a guaranteed waste of the PRESENT time.
Always look for new, interesting and useful things to do and try to be the best at them.
It's fine as long as you don't become a workaholic or a pothead.

I watched the movie, was touched but not moved to tears. I called him up and said, "Is that the best you've got?"
Grave of the Fireflies hits really hard indeed.
I haven't played Mother 3, but it being a sequel to a game that was already outdated back in its time... I guess that must be really depressing.
I have watched some animes years ago, but most were so-so like the ones listed on the posts above. Some I haven't stopped to finish watching, others I don't even remember anymore.
I can recommend:
Serial Experiments Lain - creepy girl and even creepier computer shit
Berserk - medieval violence, demons, huge sword
Evangelion - big monsters, people going insane

"Genuine self-esteem, however, consists not of causeless feelings, but of certain knowledge about yourself.
It rests on the conviction that you — by your choices, effort and actions — have made yourself into the
kind of person able to deal with reality. It is the conviction — based on the evidence of your own volitional
functioning — that you are fundamentally able to succeed in life and, therefore, are deserving of that success."

I enjoyed it for the sheer bafflement... but would love to know more on how it's achieved.
Yes vote for it being entertaining!

Dood wtf. It's nice to see a TAS or at least a Topic but...
GBA:
-Has much better graphics.
SNES:
-Has much worse graphics.
GBA:SNES:
The Graphics on the SNES are FAR superior than the GBA Version. O.o
But okay. Just some offtopic.
I think it's nice to see a TAS because of the few differences they have
AND because of the pacific World.
both have awful graphics.

tbh only shameless parasites like communism.
Anyway TAS is just a hobby. Your dad is right about it being a big joke and a waste of time. Maybe you should remind him that he has his useless hobbies as well.
Just do it in your free time and enjoy it while it feels interesting.
You'll eventually find more interesting things to do.
Just don't take anything in life for granted.
Most hobbies are useless but thinking too much about the future is also a guaranteed waste of the PRESENT time.
Always look for new, interesting and useful things to do and try to be the best at them.
It's fine as long as you don't become a workaholic or a pothead.SNES:
