I don't think it's even possible to take ratings seriously, since indeed they make little sense, when only the people who actually TAS a game know exactly how technical its runs are, and people who see a game for the first time might be not entertained at all and give 3s for a well done movie (I use to do that a lot lately). These 2 don't seem to be improvable, so no matter how you change the system, it'd still make that little sense.

А можно Флинтстоунам скриншот поменять? Если цензура пропустит - то на 37296, если нет то и 60685 сойдет.
Кстати, как там Голиаф в 1-3 поживает, высоко ли забрался?
Первый цензура чот не хочет пропускать, а второй это файнал босс, такое тоже не принято постить. Может и можно сделать исключение, но это будет больше спойлер, чем тизер.
Ремонтирую бранчи в тастудии, пишу статью про эмули, каждую неделю думаю о том, как бы выкроить на Голиафа, но в полурабочей тастудии тож не хочется. Возможно на этой неделе приостановлюсь и продолжу пробег.

Yes, the final flight, its absurd repetitiveness, is too long to actually watch and rewatch the whole run. And if one needs to skip, it doesn't sound like a good Star.

I get really annoyed when people use the argument: "this series has x number of stars already and therefore another run of said series cannot obtain a star even though it clearly deserves it". If a run deserves a star, then let it, regardless of "Well Ocarina of Time has one so we must take its and get it to Majora's Mask". I don't care if it's a Mario, Mega Man, Zelda or Metroid game. If a game clearly deserves a star, then give it to it.
+1
It will end up flooding the star tier with variants of the same game starred for all possible reasons, which would serve what goal exactly? If you want runs that are AMAZING, use this http://tasvideos.org/Movies-RatingE.html
The goal of the Star tier is to represent variety, not popularity. So we star game of the same franchise on the same platform if they do showcase that variety. Megaman 1 is starred for being hugely broken code-wise, manipulating execution in ways that were unheard of back then. Megaman 2 is starred for all the screen zipping, that looks like a total mess, but makes it more visible what kind of glitch is used, and therefore can be easier comprehended by the viewer (which is why it was picked for a newcomer flag). Rockman -infinity is (and MM5 was) starred for showcasing insane use of weapons. But neither of them is the same game starred several times, because what's the point exactly?

Very impressing ratings, so even if I can't evaluate how entertaining it is due to now knowing the game at all, I'm in favor of starring it, if only there are more people in favor of that too.

It's a fantastic run, but not (for me) star-worthy because it's somewhat repetitive, using the same glitches over and over again to farm otherwise unobtainable Pokemon. The pi run is short and sweet, and also demonstrates Pokemon's brokenness pretty well.
We'll need to choose. any% is traditionally starred since forever, it's the offspring of the run that started TASing and blown people's minds, so it's also a newcomer icon. Now ratings between the two are equal (except for their amount), I'll need to watch both to tell my opinion, but again I hardly know the game, so can't make my opinion be the main factor.

Looks boring to me, gameplay is mostly the same throughout the whole run, even if it has interesting moments, it doesn't consist of them.

It's because I'm getting closer to things that were my goals for such a long time, and in their intensive light I can more clearly see things I had to deal with earlier, and could not change, because they were part of me. Now I see how their sources were getting into my soul and it helps me preventing that in future. Does that make any sense to you?
Otherwise, being hostile to something counter-productive is a good thing in my eyes. How do I know it's counter-productive? From knowing what being productive is.

What good is a rule if it's not enforced?
Just use google, okay?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guideline
A guideline is a statement by which to determine a course of action. A guideline aims to streamline particular processes according to a set routine or sound practice. By definition, following a guideline is never mandatory. Guidelines are not binding and are not enforced. ( U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs, http://www.va.gov/trm/TRMGlossaryPage.asp )
Guidelines may be issued by and used by any organization (governmental or private) to make the actions of its employees or divisions more predictable, and presumably of higher quality.

It's not me that you need to start taking seriosly, it's USA law that youtube and those bullshit pretenders don't care about. Simply because such a question was never raised on a serious level.

Fuck off, you fail to answer posts directed to you to shut up your trolling mouth, instead you pick posts directed to others, that answer exact questions posted by those people, then you act like it was a personal opinion of the poster, then you pervert everything once again to insult people that took you seriously as much as you can. Just fuck off and CENSORED

You can't simply claim "this is fair use" and have it be so. Derivative work is, in general, protected by copyright to the original author.
The line between copyright-infringing derivative work and fair use is really fuzzy. Needless to say, you probably will not win the legal battle against a megacorporation on this question, so it's useless to even try. Unfortunately this is one of those things you'll simply have to accept, unless you have really good lawyers as friends (or can afford them) who will back you up all the way.
Review, commentary and parody are generally protected under fair use, especially if they use only very small portions of the original work. TASes arguably do not fall into any of these.
When macrocorporation starts feeding people actual shit, you'll have nothing but to eat it, just because you don't have lawyers to help you refuse eating it, right? Am I right? Show me a single case where gameplay footage creator posting his videos without any aim for monetization lost such a case, and then we'll listen to your nonsense (maybe).

Let's start from the good part.

What method do you use for deciding what is true and false? Do you maybe compare the different explanations that various sources give you? Do you then choose the best explanation that makes most sense to you and requires least amount of extraneous assumptions? If so, you use the same method that I do. Edit: At least that's what I try to do, but it is impossible to avoid all cognitive biases and other shortcomings that I might have.
My method is this:
1. Meet a problem that can't be resolved right away.
2. Spend some time on resolving it basing on already present knowledge.
3. Have hard time figuring out what it really is about, what misinterpretations or lack of knowledge on my side were used by that problem when it appeared.
4. Collect some of those and try to apply to the problem, just as a check.
5. Figure out more and more things of different importance, that could break the solution again if not considered.
6. Resolve the problem and hear it click.
7. Remember the feeling, compare it to what I felt when I first met that problem, and to what I thought before and during solving it. Figure out what of those appeared to be correct, fix the rest in my head, and make a mental picture of the resulting feeling. It is called common sense.
8. Once other problems like that are met, try to resolve it right from step 7, and if it doesn't work right away, improve my notion of common sense by executing 1-7.
Wow dude! You spend so many words on telling me about those bad creationists and stuff, even though I never said I'm one of them. You seem to be obsessed with dualistic vision of the world, where it's either evolution, or divine creation, and since divine creation has no direct scientific proof, it's obviously evolution. And to help you agree with that, you have to tell yourself how bad (or wrong) creationists are. LOL.
You know what? The method I described to you in the beginning of my post doesn't agree at all with the entire evolution idea (except for those tiny tweaks). We'll see what it ends up with.
Now the worst part. I have written 2posts for you, and you haven't bothered to reply (only to the first one before it was edited).
