Many still are, but 70 star offers a lot of flexibility in routing to just pick the stars that are RTA-able.
I’m curious what the A count for RTA 120 could be. TAS is 13x, but humans will need more.

Gamecube doesn’t have enough RAM to preload everything at startup like that, you have to go through the menus and pick a game mode and map to load.
Surely if it needed that startup load anyway, then Sakurai wouldn’t be saying he turned the license down in order to get players in the game faster. I’m going to trust Sakurai’s word here!
Bear in mind that Kirby Air Ride came out in 2003, on a console that’s only meant to be hooked up to CRTs. How many users back then do you think would’ve had access to this feature in the first place? Or would still be playing this game if/when they upgrade later?
Heartbreaking: Worst Person You Know Ultimately Did the Right Thing
Refusing to treat people with the barest minimum of respect is not a “personal opinion”, it’s behavior that no space should tolerate.
Yeah, the online being fake is appalling. Sega knew in advance that this game would be completely dead online, meaning no one’s playing it. They knew what would happen and they took this deal anyway.
Desktop audio streaming has never worked. Bug report has been outstanding since the beginning and Discord has just… never addressed it.
While my 2021 essay did aim to be as thorough as I could in criticizing PPT itself, all of my criticism of the game is secondary to my greater criticism of how Sega handled the series afterward. I wonder if being too thorough may have caused that thesis to be lost in the woods, but I hope this video today hammers that point back home.
If Sega had followed up PPT1 with a full mainline game, using its commercial success as a jumping off point for the series to go onto bigger and better things, I wouldn’t be so frustrated today. But instead of doing that… we got Apple Arcade.
There were a lot of valid conversations to be had about journalistic integrity. Which made it all the more damning that Gamergate never once had any of these conversations, ever.
Built a new desktop, backed up everything on my old laptop, next step was to format an Arch installer USB. Instead of formatting the USB, I formatted my laptop’s /boot partition. No big loss since I had the backup and was done with that old toaster, but oops.
I picked up a Miyoo Mini Plus earlier this year as an impulse buy, and ended up liking it enough that I regret not buying a higher end model with analog sticks. Still, don’t know if it’s worth trying to upgrade now - I’m waiting for the day we can get a full SteamOS device in this form factor.
I already have enough zillion-hour games to grind, I don’t need every game to be that. As much as I love JRPGs I have a hard time setting aside time to finish one these days since I have too much else I also want to play.
Are these mutually exclusive?
I don’t need a higher spec Steam Deck, most of what I play is all 2D indie games anyway. What I really want to see someday is a Steam Deck Pocket in a DS-sized form factor.
Place was good once, but you’re not missing anything now. Trying to recapture that magic just feels like Reddit is out of ideas and just desperately trying to remind people of the one good thing they ever did. It’s like Al Bundy still hyping up his high school football career because the rest of his life has been downhill since then.
I don’t often preorder, but when I do it’s because I know I won’t regret my purchase, and I know I want a physical copy to arrive on day 1. Of course I know there’s some risk, but if I felt a game really was that risky then I would wait, I just buy the ones I feel are safe bets.
I know what developers and series I like, and if one of my favorite games is getting a sequel I know I’m playing it. Even if the sequel isn’t quite as good as the prior game I liked, they’re never bad enough for me to not want to play them at all.
I suppose it helps that my tastes lie far enough outside the kinds of mainstream AAA games that are prone to totally botched launches that I’ve never been truly burned.
Golden Sun holds a place in my heart as the first JRPG I played that had me do more than just click Attack for the majority of turns. A lot of older titles suffered in that regard, but Golden Sun addresses it with regenerating PP and free Djinn actions to encourage you to explore your toolkit. Puzzles were also fantastic.
Skip the DS game though, it’s bad.
CrossCode is phenomenal. I love how they crammed it with tons of sidequests without ever getting bogged down in repetition, because most of those quests put brand new spins on the combat mechanics.
Pannenkoek does have a few videos documenting stars that can be beaten with No Joystick Allowed strats (these are old and there are more on the secondary UncommentatedPannen channel but I don’t see a playlist compiling them). A full run is definitely not possible, but at least some stars are doable.
