Good lag reduction improvement. Problem is just that...there is not much to look at. It is very strange to not have any enemies, but...meh.

For those curious, I was never afraid of this virus since day 1. I'm 25 years old working at a grocery store. The deaths in my state are pretty low and the cases are high because so many people are getting tested even when not showing any symptoms. I never got tested because if I test positive, I would have to be quarantined for 2 weeks. This pandemic is also comparable to the 1918 Spanish flu.
Well just act like you might be asymptomatic to be safe since even if you don't have any obvious symptoms you can still spread it.

Probably a good idea to get the flu vaccine early this year depending on your circumstances.

Relax man. If you have a decent submission that cannot be fixed without a lot of work then it will probably be accepted. Freaking out, acting like a jerk, or over reacting will only make you look bad. Just answer the questions.

"This run uses the easiest difficulty", is a point of concern. There do seem to be some tasy jump in the pond level. This game seems slow, but I don't know if this is optimized or not. Getting hit in the water level looks bad, but it may be faster. Probably will need someone to check it. The slow game is bland with bad music, voting No for entertainment.

Yea that is true. Definitely a negative against it. Nowhere near as good as the rest of it.

How about Logitech Trackman Marble Trackball Mouse – Wired USB Ergonomic Mouse for Computers, with 4 Programmable Buttons, Dark Gray? Would fit larger hands I believe. The thing is pretty big. There is a button assigned to the wheel scroll functionality, it acts like the scroll. It is wired USB. Has 2 buttons on either side. DPI I don't think makes sense as a measurement for this trackballs, but you can adjust the sensitivity with the trackball. Ambi friendly. I have on occasion hurt a hand so sometimes I would switch mouse hands and this works for that. I actually have the buttons reversed so the right click is on the left side, for some reason I like that better. Right now about $25. Not sure on how long it will last but been good for a little over a year. The only issue I had with it was I accidentally peeled off a support rubber piece on the bottom, but even with that still good since you only need to move the trackball. You will need to pull out the ball and clean off the lint inside every once in a while. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001F42MKG?tag=duckduckgo-d-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1

Great job! This was really enjoyable to watch. I always like these racing games that give you a sense of speed. Yes vote.

You have my respect for your charity work, but there is a lot of risk involved in spending a lot more than what you take in. Especially if as you said your kids would benefit from donations in your signature. Maybe for the next couple years you could do more cost savings such as doing more remote online charity events to recoup those losses. Things are now extremely risky with job security and the overall health of the international financial systems and you might want to save up money just in case.

Submission #6647: RingRush's N64 Donkey Kong 64 in 26:46.83. Has an impressively long list of interesting bugs and sequence breaks. I enjoyed understanding the glitches and watching it evolve to this level. http://tasvideos.org/4192M.html

I have to say I think the makers of the game liked this show. Seeing the ancient grandad running and jumping around and the gramma breaking out of prison was quite amusing. The main tricks seem to be the high jump with throwing items and the damage boosts look like. There was enough variation to make it interesting even though a lot of parts were just jumping over enemies. Also those little squats during the bathroom fight made me lol. Going to give this a Yes.

Yea this is really good. Loved that last area where you literally go all over the place, on the sides, along the sides, what looks like under the racetrack, as well as backwards. Almost every other level had some odd interesting thing too like what looks like OOB shortcuts, unusual speed boosts riding along the very edge of the tracks. Looked like every corner was as precise as it it is going to get. Yes.

So for the Shinobi III speedrunners I had started a LOTAD for the No Kunai category of the game. However I started getting into it and am making a good effort at it. I do however notice that many parts are going to be quite similar to the original Any% TAS. Would this No Kunai be a good or a bad candidate for Moons? https://www.speedrun.com/shinobi3/run/zx246wem Edit: The No Kunai would be using the 6 button mode for the game. The route would be a bit different since you cannot use ceiling clips with kunai. Zipping with dive kicks would still be used. There is a pretty restrictive wall clip, but it may or may not save time.
OK so I have found a clip that is much slower but acts essentially the Same as the kunai clip. This means that the run 's route is now essentially the same as the standard one. With not a lot of difference. So I will not be submitting this no kunai tas.

I think unlocking all ship types in a first playthrough would be nuts. You cannot get the other versions like B or whatever but that would certainly be impressive.
