That's the any% glitchless run

There's a condition called progeria that is pretty much the real version of this.

Unfortunately - however you might take that - it usually takes a decade or two and is pleasant for no-one.

Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy let alone their kid.

But if you're looking for a more entertaining take, try this shocking 2002 XBox TV ad that was quickly banned in the UK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjeYb7_kPqo

I'm definitely not the target audience of an ad like that, my thought is "life is short, don't waste it in front of a screen" (yes, that's exactly what I'm doing here on lemmy 🫠). I would bet that a life of playing video games will feel like it flew by much more than one out doing stuff in the world, but it probably depends on the games and the outdoor stuff so ymmv

I viewed it as “play more versus sitting at a desk at work” sort of thing.

Less time bad screen, more time good screen.

Eat drink and be merry for tomorrow you may die.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Fingers crossed! 🤞

Edit: this is a joke, I don't need suicide support.

BUT if someone does, seek help because life gets so much better, but only if you keep trying. Don't give up! Lean on friends and family, there's help to be found everywhere.

Maybe this condition was what supposed.to be normal for humans? So we could live as long as our four legged friends?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Shocking? Very pearl clutchy take.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

I'm sorry, but that wasn't shocking, and it clearly wasn't about progeria.

I dont follow speed runners. I know there is a corner hop hack to skip most of the game in Zelda: OoT. Is it common across other speed runs, or is this a reference to that specific bug?

[–] [email protected] 77 points 6 months ago (1 children)

This is very common in speed running for almost any game. Similar exploits are often engine related as well. Once you find an exploit for one source or unreal game, there's a decent chance that other games built on similar versions will share it.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago

That makes sense, I kinda assumed something like this was afoot rather than all jokes referencing one exploit.

Thanks for the details.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Yeah. Corner/wall clipping is pretty common. Zelda is a classic example, though, so it could be.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Super Mario 64 has some weird ones like that. I think you slam yourself into a corner walking backwards or something and that gives you super speed to skip through some levels. There is this whole "quantum Mario" stuff in the game.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago (2 children)

It's hardly a speed run at 13 hours and 50 minutes, but Watch for Rolling Rocks in 0.5 A presses is an absolute classic.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

if you don't have the time for the entire video, here is a sub 1 minute summary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ex_DEhq6C8

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Yes it was exactly like that 🪅

What you're describing is the Backwards Long Jump. Due to developer oversight, Mario doesn't have a maximum speed going in reverse. Mario can long jump repeatedly in reverse against stairs and similar collision, causing him to build up a ridiculous amount of speed until he's going so fast that he bypasses the wall collision. He's on one side of the wall on one frame, and on the other side by the next. Since the game only checks his collision every 4 frames, he goes right through.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

It's a pretty common technique still. Breath of the wild has some fun ones.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Think of a game you've played recently or enjoyed in the past, and do a YouTube search for "game name GDQ". It's fascinating to see a game you know a bit about be torn apart by glitch hunters and superhuman speedrunners!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

In Alien: Isolation, there's a glitch to get through certain locked doors by binding "jump" to the scroll wheel and pushing yourself against it. It lets you phase through.

Reminds me of the Baldurs Gate 3 madness known as Shadow Boxing 😄

[–] [email protected] 29 points 6 months ago

When he is teleporting through the wall, i can picture the the sound that he makes, and it is the same as super mario 64 backwards stair jump speed glitch. Yahhoo, yahhoo, yayayayayayayayayayayayayayahhoo.

Oh sweet, new summoning salt video is out

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 months ago

Time passes differently in the Backrooms.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Speed runs getting out of hand fuck

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I think that might have been a fluke, a cosmic ray hitting the processor at the exact right moment.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago

Full tutorial, and then about one minute of gameplay.

Checks out.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago

lol ... you die, everything goes black ... you wake again and it's a bunch of kids complaining about the game ... everything goes black ... you start again

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

Heavy typo there.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

I’d play that game… wait…oh!
