Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

[6012] NES Super Mario Bros. "arbitrary code execution" by OnehundredthCoin in 04:52.65 It's completely unique among NES publications for what it does that necessitated a modified version of BizHawk to allow cart swapping. It's an incredibly technical feat under the hood and also just cool to watch in action. [6036] NES Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers "2 players" by Dimon12321, Aglar & dragonxyk in 08:43.47 Watch as these two chipmunks menacingly slide backwards towards the bosses in various stages. [6243] NES Gimmick! by Samsara, web2000, negative_seven, SBDWolf, Aglar & Hotarubi in 04:12.38 Look at that little guy go. Love that Yumetaro! Also, this is an incredible improvement to an already impressive run.

Haha, oh my God! I didn't expect this to happen, although that was a fair, deserved and unique event for me. I took a vacation for a week and acted a low-performer at work for another week while TASing Chip 'n Dale all days long. So hardly I wanted to beat this game. Meanwhile, I was seeking for practice to overcome my life shyness, so I took the opportunity to comment on this TAS on Game Done Quick 2024. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2273560382?t=22h58m35s I still feel embarrassed of broadcasting my childish voice to 2k viewers live, but now I'm convinced the world is not that harsh to me. Only after I had recovered from the shock of my commentary, an idea of yearly TAS rewards finally hit my mind, but I was skeptical about the potential victory until this day. I am grateful to this community! My 10 years here have been satisfied, although I don't care about rewards as much as I did in my childhood years
TASing is like making a film: only the best takes are shown in the final movie.

Thanks for this link. I hadn't been aware of this showcase. I enjoyed the run and your commentary.
