Beef / Division Icons
« on: December 15, 2019, 11:26:43 am »
Back in my day, the addition of character/other icons for divisions (i.e. Sonic, Mission 3) was awesome. We were proud of our fancy icons. In 2019, divisions of games like Sonic Mania, whose icons would be trivial to rip, are missing said icons. I personally find this a massive detraction from the TSC experience. Who's with me?!

Good god is Mania amazing. Easily the best Sonic game so far, ahead of 3&K.

Also Yooka-Laylee sucks.

I already laid the battle lines down. People just want to try to shift it away from that.

Maybe because not everyone in the topic agrees with you? This is a group discussion, forcing your opinion on everyone doesn't help anything <_<

4
... that'd be the point of the rule change, making a certain emulator be used by EVERYONE so that if one person gets called out, there's no long debate about whether or not it's a TAS, no grey area? Right?

5
This thread seems like it's more of an argument over video proof and whatnot between TimpZ and SDM than an actual debate over emulators. :|

This isn't whether or not we require video proof for every stat; this is IF we ask for video proof and it's given on an untrustworthy emulator, then it's insufficient.

6
The problem with being partial to a specific group of players is rather obvious. You unlevel the playing field when any group of competitors has any advantage over another. Especially when it comes to burden of proof through said videos, where one person's recording might lie on a banned emu, but another's just so happens to be on an accepted emu. Looks like the unlucky player has to re-record everything using a different emulator. How fun!

What?

This topic isn't really about the burden of proof argument, it's whether or not we should ban TAS-capable emulators from competition. Neither adopting an official emulator nor banning all emulators from competition gives any player any kind of advantage over any other player, so long as we make it known that "hey, you can't use x or y emulator when submitting stats, or it doesn't count, sorry!" All emulators are pretty much equally as easy to get and use in my experience.

Partial to players who want to continue playing on emulators, despite the fact that one could still cheat on them; difficulty of said cheating aside.

No, we adopt an emulator that you can't savestate/frame advance/TAS/whatever on. Period.

I mean, if it comes down to either letting the potential for TASing continue or banning all emulators, I'm all for the latter. SDM's right in saying that we can't halfass this if we're going to do something about it.

7
It would be splitting hairs and pissing off a lot of people if we simply banned emulators that had TAS capability (Heck, I even know about a method where one could pseudo-TAS through Gens Plus).
I don't recall "it would be an unpopular decision" ever being a motive for whether or not to add/change a rule in the past here.

For what it's worth, I'm all for banning whatever TAS-capable emulators we need to, because I actually own at least one physical or digital copy of every Sonic game I own <_< All the classic Sonic games and quite a few of the new ones are easy to get on Steam, and they go on sale for ridiculously low prices very often.

Aside from actually buying Sonic games, I suppose an approach TSC could take would be to sort of adopt an unofficial official Genesis emulator for everyone to use for competition? I dunno, I'm not a high-up Genesis game competitor or anything, just throwing in my two cents. I'd much rather be a little inconvenienced with an emulator that doesn't have some nifty feature than have anyone be able to TAS a run...

Something like the chao key glitch (intentional death ver.) seems like it'd be doable in any of the versions, considering it's just a thing of timing. The 3D model version of the glitch comes from playing the game in 16:9, which is a new feature in the HD version.

That aside, the game's almost a direct port of Battle, so any DC-only glitch or trick won't work here.

General Sonic / SADX 2011 patches glitches?
« on: December 01, 2012, 10:18:25 am »
I've been playing Sonic Adventure DX (the Dreamcast Collection version, on Steam) and several of the glitches to get characters into other levels seem to have been patched, including one of the methods for getting Tails into Emerald Coast and the only one for getting him into the other two sections of Speed Highway... Can anyone else confirm this, or am I just bad at glitching?

I don't really post here often anymore, but I think everyone should join this. :D

Upon joining, three invisible items will appear in the room you're sitting in. If you find them all, you get a cookie!
Disregard that, I'm a maggot.

You could do something like the SRB2 forum has...
"Sonic, Tails and [there|they're|their] friends like to go on adventures, [there|they're|their] always happy to help Sonic defeat [there|they're|their] nemesis, Doctor Eggman."
This keeps out spambots and morons.

Why the hell isn't this topic stickied?

22
I see they really didn't want Mr. Needlemouse in.

23
I'm beginning to think Mr. Needlemouse will be in, they can't fit a REJECTED sign over him :(

24
THEY COULD MESS WITH OUT HEADS

This looks fun, inb4 Sonic is the only playable character. Hopefully. Maybe Sonic's new friend Mr. Needlemouse will be Chip's twin brother who doesn't need any shading because he glows really bright.

I find it ridiculously hard to attain lucidity because most of the time when I realize I'm dreaming, my vision gets blurry and I wake up. Am I focusing too hard or what? I've had a few unintentional ones where I was actually controlling my actions and didn't notice it for a while, but I haven't had any awesome ones like Donna's GHZ one. :( I want to play SRB2 in a dream.
