Assuming sufficient optimization, could another, different submission of Mario Paint be actually entertaining enough without fully relying on meme value? Could THIS run, if it was redone with proper optimization, be enough to make it?
Maybe this is actually a good time to start the discussion on whether or not playaround runs need defined endings. I'm perfectly happy to start having that discussion. I think not requiring defined endings for playarounds would be a great positive change that would allow better pacing and more creativity for them, and may influence a lot more of them coming in as people wouldn't have to expend all of their creativity trying to make an entire game entertaining.
If relying on thread feedback isn't reliable... Maybe that's a sign that we need to figure out a new way of doing things. I feel like most of my job is just figuring out where to tier movies, and there almost always seems to be a huge discrepancy between submission thread voting and publication rating that, yeah, makes relying on any kind of feedback unreliable... And that's assuming that a run even GETS feedback in the first place. Rating/Voting complaints are pretty common on Discord, it really might be worth investigating how to fix them with the help of the community at large.
I am unsure if it's preferred to have the movie that reaches credits be submitted instead
Sometimes extra input is required after the game ending sequence has started, so it could fully proceed to the last ending screen. It is preferred to contain such input in the submitted movie
What's more "legit"? Sorting from slowest to fastest. 1. Trigger the ending sequence, which while longer due to dialogue, sets up the end game flags 2. Setting up boss complete flag, probably some post game credit flag, then load credits. 3. Trigger the credits, ignoring game completion flags.
I want to obsolete: [2225] GBC Keitai Denjuu Telefang: Speed Version "warp glitch" by jlun2, MisterChess in 07:12.50 using ACE. That movie is impossible, since it uses a VBA bug where opcode 10 10 STOP is ignored. Does the very 1st old movie become a new category despite vault due to rules on ACE now?

And here's the bodyLanguage: cpplength = framenum_to_samplenum(framenum + 1 + m_soundbuf_frames) - framenum_to_samplenum(framenum + m_soundbuf_frames);
Great times. If I replicate this in hawk, hopefully av will sync. m_soundbuf_frames is a semi-arbitrary number of extra frames to prepare samples in advance for, 0.57 of a second, something around 45 frames of safety buffer. I hope I won't need it. framenum is current actual frame. Also I don't think I cleared the sound buffer when loading states lol. It just kept appending irrelevant samples.Language: cppinline std::uint32_t avi_file_impl::framenum_to_samplenum(std::uint32_t framenum) const { return (std::uint64_t(m_info.audio_samplerate) * std::uint64_t(framenum) * std::uint64_t(m_info.video_sampletime) + m_info.video_timescale - 1) / std::uint64_t(m_info.video_timescale); }
