Big congratz on the win in the Streamer Awards, had to check out the awards show since you mentioned it in this stream! Just started playing TrackMania because of your videos, really appreciate your efforts, great videos! Will have to check out your stream some day, sounds like you're a fellow Nord so you should be on at reasonable times.
Wirtual: In this game you want to reduce airtime wherever possible Also Wirtual: Everything tells me this 3 second jump that loses me 65 speed for a 0.1s advantage should be faster
@@gijs337 I don't even know which track your refering to, but I feel I should mention that generally some airtime is prefered during engine off IF you can get enough of a nosedown for the little boost it gives you. (even on a downhill)
you could also go with "poke the Hornet's nest" too perhaps. basically just means the same thing, prodding at an irritable creature until it gets sick of you and attacks
ILs (Individual Level speedruns) were some of the first speedruns to exist, since internet speed, and data limits were a thing. I believe DOOM was one of the first popularly speedrun games due to its demo files being an easy way to share your plays with slow a** dial-up and anyone with the game was able to replay them since video playback was also a potential issue (codecs hadn't really been standardized and weren't so widely supported as they are today)
@@xmtxx interesting I would never use it interchangeably with sorrow. And in fact, in that phrase, “chagrin” carries the connotation of frustration, vexedness, or basically a light form of anger or resentment. If I did something much to someone’s chagrin, they would probably be angry with me in some way.
@@xmtxxEnglish borrowed a lot of words from French. some of the meanings have drifted quite a bit. and yeah, in English "chagrin" is one of those words that's only ever really used in a specific turn of phrase
I normally don’t vote for game or twitch awards but I’ll make the exception since I love sleeping to your videos. You may not win best speed runner but you will always be the sleepy head streamer to us.
Races are literally *THE* original speedrun. I don't get how people don't understand that. Or, to put it make another point, by definition a speedrun *IS* a race.
A speedrun is a race, but a specific race to complete a game or segment of game from first to last input under each category's rule. What Wirtual said is like saying "100 metres hurdle has evolved to be a definition of the activity of doing something fast". That doesn't diminish races in any way, but the definition of speedrunning is very clear
Would be better challenge if you’d follow all the same rules, but how many world records can you beat in one sitting. So first it would probably be doable to beat the record in 1 hour and as the board get more clutched it would take more and more time
All racing games are speed running by nature. I think the speed running category should be for streamers speed running games in which the intended goal of said game does not involve how quickly you can complete it. I also think the game must have a final ending point to indicate the games completion as a whole. I would vote for you in a racing game category if that exists...
@@The_Wosh I agree. Any game where the point is to finish as quickly as possible should have their own category (which they might 🤷🏼♂️). When I think of speed running, games like Mario 64 or classic games with crazy skips are what I think of. Games that weren’t designed with speed in mind.
To me the point is mostly about having a clear beginning and a clear end. The speedrun starts at the beginning of the game and ends when the credits roll. In that way, mirror's edge and Mario kart are games you can speedrun. The closest thing I can see to that in tm would be a campaign speedrun. I don't see many of those, so dont think wirtual deserves to be nominated for best speedrunner. Possible contender for the "best racist" competition though!
I feel like Wirtual's emotion at "pulling a Wirtual" in the last few seconds of the first round of the challenge (19:30 or thereabouts) is not something that fits the word "chagrin", despite the editor's comment back at 6:21.
Im losing my mind over that orchestration piece near the end on the uphill 08, in my mind im thinking its rush garcia but i just cant seem to find it and i feel like im going insane
This reminds me of the gas extreme demon challenge in gd where you get random extreme demons and each one you need to get 1% further in the level all the way until you have to beat one
I hear "chagrin" or "chagrined" listening to audiobooks quite a bit, but it's definitely one of those authorial, descriptive words. Not really an everyday conversation word.
I know this is months late buuuttt.... Simple solution to the "is Wirtual a speedrunner??" dilemma: Has a trackmania player ever been invited to play at AGDQ or SGDQ? If yes, then Wirtual is a speedrunner. If no, then Wirtual is NOT a speedrunner. Now the immediate counter to this argument is that "There are plenty of other games that have never shown up at a GDQ event so are the runners of those games also not speedrunners?" But to that I say: Those games are typically very niche and unpopular with only a small handful of dedicated runners. Additionally there is very little debate on whether those runners are or are not speedrunners. Trackmania is a very popular game and so it would have definitely been considered at some point. Something that is more similar to Trackmania would be the Mario Kart speedruns, and in those cases only the full game runs are ever presented at GDQ and typically single track times are not considered as speedruns. Now, I'm not about to go through and look at years of GDQ event schedules/streams just to see if Trackmania ever showed up there, but it's an option that's there for someone who actually cares. Honestly, I'd love to see Wirtual play at GDQ, I think that'd be pretty cool.
Chagrin is a french word but we use it to exprime sadness, usually from the loss of someone, it's like grief. But we don't use it as a verb like you did in english: "since his father passed away he has a lot of chagrin"
In Dutch we have a similar word also originating from the French Chagrin: "chagrijnig" ("sacherijnig"), but it means that someone is grumpy. "He is chagrijnig"
@@maximedupre8043 Honestly i don't think it's really used that way anymore, but i have mmories of my grand parents generation using it that way sometime. The larousse dictionary defines it as a second definition as: 2. Qui est porté au mécontentement, à la mélancolie : Des esprits chagrins. Synonymes : bilieux - bougon - grincheux - grognon (familier) - revêche - sombre
Stream idea: I think it could be interesting If you reviewed maps from viewers, like the Guy at 4:10 asked. Could make a neat Stream with some Integration of the audience.
Nose exhale at him talking about it being the year of the main channel when he hasn't uploaded anything to it yet this year. I'm sure he will but it is a funny contrast
When that person said they couldn't watch because they were from Australia, I thought they were talking about that joke about how Australia has the worst internet lmao
I know this comment is late, but what song is in the background at 39:40? It sounds like it's from Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy but not sure if that is correct or what the song title is
@@Stokenheimer123 No problem. I have been searching for the song on and off since this video was released and when I stumbled upon it again because of autoplay I saw your comment and decided to finally find it.
I bought the middle tier version of the game for a year so I can still not see the records. If that is the deciding factor, then I think it should still be forbidden to watch the replays.
@@laser_uhhhh Lol, I completely forgot to mention what it is about. I am talking about watch replays to see how the wr played the map. This is discussed somewhere in the video.
