Nice pfp

I legit just laughed too hard at this. I hate myself now. Haha

Boss Rush was actually going to be a real feature in the original game,and was later implemented in OOT 3D

You and I have very different memories of CS lectures

TAS and casual play along with accidents while running.

And debug lately

Why is that a problem? This is a speedrun.

First generation Pokémon

The more popular, the more attempts to break

The joke made about SRM modifying function pointers for a while was "I Can't Believe it's Not ACE!" Technically ACE is banned in most categories, but the stuff in this run doesn't modify code itself so it's still legit.

True, and honestly I find it much less enjoyable to watch

Tas level manipulation, and category restrictions, which usually disallow ACE

Same 😂

Hahha me to!

I saw an explanation about it and I'm not a speed runner, but I think I can explain the gist. In the lost forest temple there was a runner who did a glitch with the boomerang where if you throw it at a skulltula token and leave the room before it makes its way back to link, it messes with the games code because things are still loaded in the other room, however you entered another room. So when The runner walked back into the room again, he had a strange prompt to pick something up but there wasn't anything there. When he followed the prompt hitting the pick up / interact button suddenly he was holding an door in his hand. so that was kind of where it started that every object has a particular code that can be accessed and modified depending on what is loaded / unloaded and links position in reference to those things. Super bizarre

This is “actual speedrunning.” Watch a glitchless or no-SRM category, they still exist.

Yeah I find this stuff cool and fun but it's totally different than what I usually like. I want to see a run that does no memory manipulation showcased, like Majora's Mask (before the moon warp, at least)

@@JT-hs6hc there’s a “no SRM” version of pretty much every major category for this game. you should check those out! but they’re not going to just not use the fastest route just because it doesn’t feel as speed-runny. in fact, if you ask me, this kind of route feels even more speed-runny because the purpose is to beat the game as fast as possible, using any means necessary

@@JT-hs6hc nosrm categories are still run lol

Technically speaking it's not manipulating code, only memory. ;) That's why they call SRM "I Can't Believe it's Not ACE!"
