I just found a ~3 seconds timesave for 120 star. tabas, xein and I did some testing today. Uploading once the explanation video is done. Biggest route change/timesave for 120 Star in years get hyped
A student came out to me as trans three days ago. I was the first adult to hear, and the first person overall to get to know his chosen name.
I am now supporting him through a possible transition and today he told me he's ready to inform the other teachers and kids. Kinda proud.
In the past few weeks I observed how one of my students kept looking at her classmate so I kept pairing them up for group assignments and now they are a couple. Little do they know that was my masterplan hehe
My newest YouTube video covers the newly scanned Japanese "Complete SM64 Guide" from 1996 and the Glitches described in it. In this thread I will list all the strategies and shortcuts that were first mentioned in the guide book that did not make it into the video:
(1/12)
VVVVVVV
1. Cheat in a speedrun.
2. Say you didn't cheat when confronted with proof.
3. Harrass the mods who proved you to be guilty.
4. Live with fans harrassing and threatening the mods.
5. Admit you did cheat months later when most people forgot.
6. Delete the confession.
7. Continue.
If somebody had told me a year ago that someone would get Carpetless in an RTA without savestates, I would've called them crazy. Here it is now, easily one of the most crazy things anyone has ever done in sm64, and in video gaming generally. Xiah is nuts
Hello everyone!
I made a pastebin dedicated to every single person i met on the web within the last decade. Click on the link, read the top and find your name. If i follow u or u follow me, there's a good chance you are on the list. Merry christmas <3
so glad i finally got this cycle, i am pretty sure it is single star world record. sadly, my capture card is broken , so i had to record with webcam :)
Reason I've been offline for a while:
I have become an uncle and godfather to an amazing niece. It is surreal how happy and proud I feel in this moment ๐ฅฒ๐ฅบ
It's an undebatable fact that Coke tastes differently in different containers and the only correct tier list is:
glass bottle > can > plastic bottle > plastic cup.
This is a thread on notably weird and unique official render art used in the 1997 Super Mario 64 Quiz Book that was only ever released in Nรผrnberg, Germany. (1/21)

Starting to teach again tomorrow. My new class will consist of mostly refugees from Afghanistan and Lebanon, some of them don't know our alphabet yet. It will probably be an exhausting year of teaching, but I am very much looking forward to this challenge!
Today, it happened. I went to a techno rave in a medieval castle and someone was staring at me. Then he approached me and said "You're the guy from the 16 star tutorial!" It was so wholesome!
They had to call out a doctor during my flight because the right half of my face was temporarily paralyzed. Seeing a doctor tomorrow and keeping you updated. Boy that was some drama.
Pretty sure this lag reduction saved as much as carpetless did (c-right on the wall kicks) ๐ฅ ๐ฅ But for real, insane achievement by Marlene, 1:36 is so close now!
Speedrunners out there: What are your methods of dealing with nervousness DURING runs? I'm sure there are plenty of interesting tricks and strategies, so let me know, please!
I grew up Catholic in a small town of 1300 people. One of the positive aspects speedrunning has brought into my life is that I had the opportunity to meet and talk to many people from all over the world with different ethnicities, gender identities, sexual preferences, 1/6๐งต๐๐ฝ
A few life updates for anyone who cares. I broke my hand at a football game, bone is shattered and it will take me a long time to recover from that. Also kinda ruined my summer in advance. 1/6
ESA was such a blast. I am at the airport now, sleep deprived and sad it's over but it was awesome to meet old and new friends. Stay safe everyone and see you next time!
The fast penguin in SM64 refers to herself as "ใใใ" (atashi) in the Japanese version, which means she is female. However, the official German guide says she's the Mama penguin's brother. Fast penguin confirmed non-binary? ๐คฏ
AD 1996. The first 3D castle in Mushroom Kingdom is completed.
Birds are chirping, butterflies roam over the field, the loudest noise is not bob-ombs exploding, but the waterfall murmuring soothingly.
So out of many villages mine (1300 inhabitants) was chosen to be tested for an 'uncoditional basic income' of 2500$ a month for whole 2019 which basically means I'll be gifted 30k$ next year. It's all over the news and journalists are all over the place in here. Feels unreal.
I GOT 1 STAR WRโญ
I'VE BEEN THE SHORT CATEGORY MASTER !!!
(3/5 WR IN THE MAIN CATEGORY ON N64)
NEXT JOURNEY IS 120 STAR FOR SUB 1:40:00!
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING MY MARIO LIFE๐

My newest YouTube video covers a new discovery: Many tricks we thought weren't known until way later were already a thing in a 1996 (!) released Japanese guide book called "The Complete Super Mario 64 Guide". Have fun watching :)
Let's talk about the nice side of the SM64 community for once: The mods great work on maintaining the leaderboard. The daily help and guidance by runners in the discord. The huge amount of guides and resources. The frequent tasks, events, quizzes and tournaments. Can be proud tbh
Speedrunners out there, what are ways new strategies are found? I got:
1. Strat is theorized, then pulled off in TAS (maybe later in RTA)
2. Having an idea for an optimization while playing, testing and comparing
3. Randomly (while messing around)
What am I missing?
