Either weekend is good with me, was mostly just wondering when I should finalize and send over my yamls

(And the topic hadn't been posted in 10 days so I was using it as an excuse to bump)

Are we still looking at the 7th for the next one?

Conventionally still in TR.

Variants are possible I guess, but keep in mind that this is a mode where a decent chunk of the people who learn about it have a reaction like

that uh

that doesn't sound fun to me lol, y'all have fun tho

this

And then about 99% of the people who think it sounds cool and give it a shot understand why it's not well liked or commonly played after doing it once.

The Ice Rod festival sounds fun... by synchronized, you mean everyone playing at the same time? What day/time?

Yes, and haven't decided the date/time yet.

(Also, full disclosure, it's going to be hilarious the first time through and by the time we're done everybody's going to understand why nobody actually plays that mode)

Basically,

https://archipelago.gg/tutorial/A%20Link%20to%20the%20Past/multiworld/en

Same rom you use for regular rando. You need to install the AP Client software. One time setup on Retroarch (To enable network commands)

I can help with it if you need any assistance, since it's the setup I use.

Someone linked me here. I usually don't look at the multiworld stuff because it feels like a total pain to set-up but I play plenty of LTTPR. By synchronized, do you mean a standard multiworld or do you mean a race on the same seed? Because I'd totally join in on the latter, but I don't want to figure out all the bizhawk nonsense.

It's standard multiworld.

You don't need Bizhawk for lttp though. You can play with snes9x (As long as it's one of the variants that supports Lua) or Retroarch (As long as you use the Bsnes-Mercury core and a 1.10.x or newer version of Retroarch itself).

In fact, I recommend Retroarch because it has the least setup involved.

(Off the top of my head, the only games that hard require Bizhawk are the console non-SNES ones - Ocarina of Time, Pokemon Red/Blue and Final Fantasy 1)

it's funny to watch all my SM64 stars come in but I'm still waiting for a key to actually play any new stages

or a wing cap to get two more BOB checks I guess

(it's technically possible to get one with just the cannon, isn't it? Sounds miserable. And getting 100 coins with just the cannon sounds like a nightmare)

So, you can do all of BOB stars with just the cannon, but "Mario Wings to the Sky" (the coin ring secrets) is a pain in the ass because you've got to shoot up to the island minimum three times. You can get all of the stars except "Mario Wings to the Sky" with just the cap.

IIRC there are either 96 or 98 coins reachable with neither cap nor cannon (That is, not on the island or in the coin rings). So you can just get those, then use a side flip to get a couple of coins off the first ring, and that's 100.

Is there an easy way to tell if Archipelago updated to version 7.0 of the OoT Randomizer?

It's not yet, and the only real way to know is either to be in the AP discord with the OOT role where Espeon is posting updates occasionally (Apparently adding the pot/bush/etc shuffle is going quite smoothly) or keep an eye out for release notes.

Espeon works quite hard to keep things in sync with the main oot randomizer, but it's pretty much a one-man show for doing that and he can't/doesn't really start doing so until it's actually released.

I'm pretty sure when I've seen posts about sending but not receiving before it was an SNI connectivity issue. Whenever something like that happens, the way to clean it up is to shut everything (SNIClient, emulator, SNI itself, Lua) all down, then start it back up.

I've also heard about weird issues using QUsb2Snes instead of/alongside SNI, but that shouldn't be an issue for most people who are new to this, because QUsb2Snes is practically defunct software that's only really used by people who actually have something like sd2snes hardware and old LttP-only multiworld implementations that used it because SNI didn't exist yet.

I'm not getting the update on the beta branch, and the game is refusing to launch if I switch back to the main release branch

Sucks.

Lycoris was like 9.5/10 for the first half, then it went way too drama heavy and focused on the bad villains and went down to like 7/10

basically what you said

Yeah, this

Also, this topic reminded me that I watched Harukana Receive

I don't remember a damn thing about it, but seeing the title reminded me that yes, I did watch it. What an anime.

I hate the directional management involved. They're great if you're willing to do that though.

I never pick knives, and only ever pick Whip when I'm specifically building around it. I also tend to gravitate towards Birds and Guns. Other than that, I mostly just try for an all-evolved-item build every run unless I'm specifically doing an unlock or something.

It's not the Dalton Line anymore, but Dalton would probably be an upgrade at QB for a good 5-7 teams off the top of my head. Including the one he's currently on, probably.

Aquatope is definitely fantastic first half and mediocre to bad second half. Kind of annoying, really.

Change bonus to Bills, because I didn't know when I picked them (Both for that and to win) that the Lions would be missing their important players lmao

I'm going to play an lttp. Yaml to come.

Change from Lions to Seahawks

Honestly, this injury to Tua with him being rushed back to play in blatant contradiction of what the NFL has been preaching for several years could be what finally pushes me away from caring about football. Especially if the league tries to sweep it under the rug like they did with him last week.

Like, I've known all along that football is a very dangerous and violent thing, but this blatant disregard is stunning.

Ms. Vampire is, in my view, pretty much the peak of "kinda fun to watch in the moment, but not actually good so it gets utterly forgotten about after it ends"

I just want to say that, with this topic having been up for almost 8 hours, every single person (myself included) that didn't just pick the Thursday game has picked the Detroit Lions

The Detroit Lions.

This has to be some kind of record.

Who didn't expect Atlus to milk the multiplatform release though? I mean, seriously.

I'm in the "No intention to buy it" group, though - Even for Royal being my favorite game, I don't have a PS5/XBONE and I'm not interested in it running like ass on the Switch. I'm not even sure I'll buy the PC version. Maybe when it gets included in a steam sale and is pretty cheap.

Damn, I'll consider 8-8 a huge W for that week.

Welp, just learned my work league resets waiver priority every week based on the week's h2h results

How stupid. Guess I'm making waiver claims every week there.

KingButz posted...

How about don't throw trash at anybody no matter what team they're on?

Also, yeah, this too.

Fucking disgusting from the Cowboys fans that did that. I'm as down on this team as I think pretty much anybody was (Though I didn't expect them to be worse than NYG/WAS unless injuries), but that's just unacceptable regardless.

I don't know why anybody is surprised by this. The Cowboys season ended the moment Smith went down.

Of all the anime ever, Majimoji Rurumo was certainly one of them.

SeabassDebeste posted...

this whole isekai genre sounds pretty iffy

Oh it's entirely hot trash with like four exceptions across an oversaturated genre.

Granted, two of them were just ranked so yeah...

I'll be completely forthright in saying that I have no recollection of how far the anime goes so I may be kinda talking past where it ends a bit, and if I do I'm sorry

But a huge part of the appeal of Tanya's character imo is specifically her desire to build up accomplishments and promotions so that she can get to a comfy office job in the rear and stay out of danger experiences and mindset being colored by her past life experience as an HR worker. Past the early parts of the series, that desire colors literally everything she does, and making her into a child, no matter how prodigious, would cut that off.

Then from there it has to be an isekai instead of a time travel story so that she can't just use her history knowledge as-is and has to adapt to the world she's now in with what she knows of her own world.

Taking the new topic to reiterate the fact that I recommended Kaiji in the previous one.

tbh I want to say I'm interested, but being in two leagues on top of other things is going to have my attention stretched real thin by week 3 or so so it's best that I don't.

I'll do another SM64. This time with 100 coin stars on and progression balancing disabled

Probably going to work my way up to cannon unlocks in the item pool for October.

52 eps on Crunchyroll. Unless there are more not on there, that's within acceptability of my suggested 50 episode limit for recommendations. I mostly have that to prevent any 100+ recs. You can recommend Kaiji if you want!

I am recommending Kaiji.

(There aren't any episodes that aren't there, sadly. But the parts that would be animated next don't have quite as much mass appeal)

I am quite happy with my draft here (far moreso than my work league), which means it's going totally sideways within the next five or six weeks.

1. Joe Mixon
2. Leonard Fournette
3. Tee Higgins
4. Breece Hall
5. Gabriel Davis
6. Michael Thomas
7. Adam Thielen
8. Tom Brady
9. Allen Lazard
10. Nyheim Hines
11. David Njoku
12. James Cook
13. D'Onta Foreman
14. Broncos D/ST
15. Ryan Succop

This is my work league team (half ppr, 2rb/2wr/1flex) and I mostly hate it. I think the biggest problem is I got distracted with, well, work and panicked on Hall with 4. Hate that pick. Not feeling the Jets at all Could've been Mitchell or Dobbins instead. I may be ok if my Old Man WR group still pans out though.

Sleepy Princess was "fun" and I enjoyed watching it, but it never really became "good" imo
