Today I learned that marathoning once had its own #ToolAssistedSpeedrun , the Ineos 1:59 challenge - the runner, Eliud Kipchoge, was the first to run a marathon under 2 hours, but with external assistance that would be otherwise illegal in a proper marathon. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ineos_1:…

I'm kind of surprised that there isn't a single #ToolAssistedSpeedrun for The Ignition Factor (SNES) on https://tasvideos.org.

Just watched a video where some madlad archieved a mario bros 3 tas in a couple microseconds by inventing a completly new form of #TAS : the cartidgeswapping tas, where they simply swapped the cartridge with CPU cycle pricision to write code into the #NES console! Just awesome what we can achieve when we just try hard enough xDDDD

... And it got me thinking to maybe attempt something similar for either the #SNES or #N64 lmao!

I've started hacking up some notes on how we should build #ToolAssistedSpeedrun technology in the future. I'm highly interested in feedback, although I've only gotten the foundation so far: https://gist.github.com/MostAwesomeDude/b42f266ac168e01a08f9c71fabe13432

Did a bit of a #ToolAssistedSpeedrun challenge to myself today.
I wanted to see if I could defeat the series of 10 minibosses and its follow-up regular boss in #Nemesis2 on the #MSX, using the buggy 'Fire Blaster' weapon (which seems to do no damage at all), and the napalm missiles.
You have to destroy them before they go off-screen, or else their core shield gets restored.
