I'm still here and alive. I want to update my bounty as seen at https://tasvideos.org/Bounties
"Genesis Rings of Power"
change "* Must be less than 1 hour 30 minutes" to "* Must be less than 55 minutes"
Since there's world record non-tas seen here https://youtu.be/GcHupXwK1hI is done in 1 hour 5 minutes-ish.
Also what happened with Super Hydlide? I thought someone was working on it, but nothing for long time, is it abandoned?

How much time could be saved by taking damage?
2~5 seconds maybe.
Best place to do that is around 16200 with flying and and minotaur blocking the way.
Another good place may be at 22750 with 4 bat blocking the way. But after that, make sure to recover to at least 2.5 heart so you can take final boss attack twice down to a half heart.

That I did not know, and I choose to honor same goal as previous movie because I didn't find it interesting to just walk thru enemies.

You should avoid games with looooong time goal. I was looking forward to FF14 trial / raid that was supposed to start at 11pm / 12am (at my time), but one guy that was doing mario game or something else that it was supposed to go 2 hour 30 min but went on and on and on for 4 hours. Went to bed at 1 AM without seeing FF14 stuff.

I run a YouTube channel where I put up HD restores of old video-game music!
Currently only Nintendo 64, but more will come later: [..]
Thanks, I appreciate that. Some of music I like to hear from N64 games disappeared from my favorite list (user delete / private). And you brought them back on youtube with even better quality.

Set to delay.I'm going over large improvement already in L4-2 (79 extra frames saved) and possible final boss, I'm reviewing early level in 1-1 too.
*edit - No need to delay, please replace to this movie: http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/67861261033703526
I also sacificed a few frames in eariler levels to conserve "damage shield" and use it for final boss, saved extra 62 at final boss. I've also saved few frames in some levels.
169 frames saved in this movie.
I hope this is final. Once replaced movie is up, I'll redo frame table. *edit - done

Please replace movie with file below and resume judging:
http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/67792134484038849
Saved extra 10 frames in L3-0, didn't get me much as I was hoping to, but better than nothing.
Thought I would able to kill off minotaur instead of waiting for him to move away to save huge amount of frames, turns out he had too much hp that he would still walk into Kuros before I get to kill it off.
Earned extra 10 from being able to quickly move to right after killing minotaur when he stopped moving.
*edit - beware, video in submission is outdated, only changed is L3-0 and final strike on final boss

After reviewing my movie couple times, I think I found an area I may able to improve.
Can this be on pause / delay until resolved? I don't have option for that.

Anyone got more simplified avisynth script to do a comparison video of old movie vs new movie side by side and I could input old movie frame checkpoint and new movie frame checkpoint? So that it can pause if the new video is ahead of old video.
I saw one but author said logic broken and it's weird to look at, it uses 4 videos? I'm looking to just insert 2 videos.

Yeah, I am confident this would get rejected simply just for not using all the tricks not shown.
I have to admit you were right when the author wrote "fastest possible" without using or mentioning any "warp". But still this TAS makes a pass for "no-warp" branch.
My concern is seem like author didn't try to avoid lag: see 1:03~1:04 Milk explode lag here. And I'm not sure about the down slope, anyone able compare speed between walking down vs jumping over slope?

Folding@home has been insanely popular [sic]
Try again in an hour.
More like DAYS. I haven't been able to download WU for GPU for 5 days now. Right now it just rarely download non-COVID related WU for CPU.
Last night I saw Pande team posted 2 new COVID related WUs for distribution, seem they deleted it.

Big post update and some good (?) news.
If there are any gamers™ among you, or just people with beefy computers and not much to do with them, I've just set up a TASVideos Folding@Home team
I had team r/incremental_games set up, but I'm joining this one. I'm trying get my FAH app to fold, but right now it just sitting around and failing to download any WU.
To anyone else curious how to "join" team:
1. Open Advanced Control
2. Press Configure (very top left)
3. Identify tab
4. Put down name you'd like and team number is 251131 (for TASVideos team)
5. Save, that's it.

Hello. I wanted to look at level skip glitch (coming from seeing bounty)
I noticed there weird glitch? or it just some hidden Easter eggs.
First level - Go grab ammo, go back to left to "SHOES" store. Shoot ammo in front of SHOES doorway (or you can just shoot then go stand in front of SHOES doorway as long as there's ammo on-screen). Weird garbled texts covering SHOES and begin to fall down (collecting them gives sport suit power up), looked like:
t t t t t
RWAWKWJWHW
Second level - turn around to left, shoot ammo. First time something pop out "CW".. shoot again, another thing pop out "BW". Collecting them seem doesn't do anything?
3rd and 4th didn't find anything special like first 2.
Googled to see if there's any information on them, seem nothing.

Poision mushrooms only show up in the Fall. The only "crop" that grows in the fall is grass. So you are limited to eggs, milk, cave herbs or mushrooms for incoming cashflow.
I mean why don't he grow some turnip during spring until he hit cash mark, so he skip this whole mushroom run?

Hello, been a while since I posted.
Saw video on "Best Ending world record" dude played on twitch, it was interesting, but painful to watch when he keeps messing up a lot.
Was wonder why don't he just grow some plant? Seem like collecting mushroom took forever. I understand he just wait until best watering tool to begin growing. But still, he overkill with cash, and work with awful crop layout.
I think it would be more interesting to see in TAS form, done flawlessly. Anyone who make a TAS for this will have my support.
Even on the no level skips category theres still 2 RTA runs that beat this. Edit: I hate BBCode
