There's the room link, have fun everyone!

The async is going well so far. Half of the slots are done already. I've mostly cleared my Hollow Knight of actual checks, just waiting on my dreamer masks to finally beat the game.

And now we're done. Thanks again for participating over the holidays everyone, it was fun. Here's the spoiler log, and the likely date for next month's async is January 20th.

How often do archipelago updates *require* bizhawk updates? I have a very long term shuffler project going and I am vaguely aware that gets funky if you update bizhawk itself

Pretty rarely. I would expect that it's probably only Pokemon that really needs 2.9, while everything else should work just fine on 2.7 or 2.8.

That said, can't you just download both versions, use the old one for your shuffler, and 2.9 for AP? You can just download Bizhawk as a zip and extract+run it.

And, actually, checking the setup guide for Pokemon Emerald, which I should've done before posting, it looks like 2.7 or 2.8 work there too. pre-2.7 Bizhawk has always been "It might work, but use it at your own risk and if you run into issues we're just going to tell you to upgrade" with AP, so if you're using some older version for your shuffler, I definitely recommend just getting 2.9 and extract+run.

ohhhhhh that'd be smart thank you

There's the room link, have fun everyone!

The async is still going! Some of the Emerald players got blocked by badges, but I think we're making good progress.

Since we're all done now, here's the spoiler log:

I'm going to be busy in February, so Reg agreed to host the async this month. Check back again to see the date from him

I am looking at the 24th currently, but can do the 17th if that works better for people.

Either works, 17th works a hair better if it's even

I prefer the 17th, but I'm good either way.

I'm a bit early to this, but the 17th it is.

Send your yamls to me on discord or however else you want to. I'll roll some time after noon CST on the 17th (Exact time will depend on a lot of things), so let's just call noon the cutoff for simplicity

What's the target duration?

I spent a lot of time in January customizing Stardew Valley YAML files to get a Community Center goal run that didn't lock relevant items in locations that are are too far off track from things your normally want to be doing in a CC run.

We generally wind up running for about a week on average, I'd say. The last one ran for about three (Which has been our longest) due to some circumstances and some unlucky randomization, though.

If you're wanting to play a big game, I would take that as invitation for other people to play bigger games too, as long as they're up for it.

1) Reg (Super Mario 64)
2) Jeff (A Link to the Past)
3) Yuzu (Final Fantasy Mystic Quest)
4) Koala (Pokemon Emerald)

Still got until about Saturday Morning or so to get me your yamls, so plenty of time.

I've got a lot of time for the first week but if it goes two weeks I'm gonna have to forfeit
which is not the end of the world on my end, but jsyk

We can make that work, no problem.

1) Reg (Super Mario 64)
2) Jeff (A Link to the Past)
3) Yuzu (Final Fantasy Mystic Quest)
4) Koala (Pokemon Emerald)
5) Grapple (Subnautica)
6) Thomas (Super Mario 64)
7) MZero (Sonic Adventure 2, Hollow Knight)
8) Mewtwo (Ocarina of Time)

Got about 18ish more hours before I roll a world, so if you want to get a yaml in make sure you do.

Room link for February. Good luck, have fun, hope the randomizer wasn't too mean to you (Unless you wanted it to be)

Nice, we got a lot of late signups. I'll put in a few hours later tonight probably.

Gonna start my game now and put in a couple hours at least, will have a stream up on the b8 discord if anyone cares to tune in and see who's items I find :D

Is there ever much conversation about runs while they're ongoing and who's blocked by what/etc?

Mostly happens in the discord server, which you joined not that long after posting this so you're good there. I was going to try to keep a bit more communication here than usual to try to keep you in the loop on things, but today's been a busier-than-expected day for me. so I haven't played too much myself yet.

Up

Things are going mostly smoothly after just under a week. About 1/3 cleared by game clear counts, 3/4 cleared by locations checked.

Bumpo

The Feb async is pretty much over. I hope everyone enjoyed it!

This month's will likely be on March 16th, but could be pushed to 23rd if that's better for more people.

Either is fine for my very super secret alt

The next async is Saturday, March 16th. Please send yamls before then or let me know your settings if you want to participate.

1- Robazoid (Hollow Knight)

Here's the list so far:

1- Robazoid (Hollow Knight)
2- JeffRaze (Hollow Knight)
3- Mewtwo (Pokemon Emerald)
4- Yuzu (Super Mario World)

Bump

I realize now that I forgot to post the room link here (since Reg was the one who created it so we could have some experimental SM64 stuff). We're already all done though so I guess it worked out. Here's the spoiler log.
