Hackaday · The SNES Seems To Be Getting Faster Over TimeEvery Super Nintendo console should run at the same speed. They were all built in factories with the same components so they should all operate at the steady clip mandated by Nintendo all those yea…

Yes, the renewed analog sticks brought the new PB. 
One month after I started derusting I broke my 1½ years old record in the Any% Glitchless category of Metroid Dread by nearly half a minute live in the Fediverse. 
The first half of the run went so bad but then the usual runkiller tricks worked flawlessly and the pace began, leading to two gold splits and a new Personal Best of 1h 37m 13s.

Metroid Dread (Switch) - Any% Glitchless
Let's see if the renewed analog sticks bring the new PB.

I just did what I couldn't manage yesterday due to time constraints: Replacing the analog sticks of my PS3 controller I use for speedrunning Metroid Dread. 
The old ones were worn out. The new ones are also used but offer much more grip.
Used this opportunity to also do a little fix. Adding a thin layer of paper to the foam pressing the button layer to the controllers circuit board prevents from automatic and unintended button presses. 
“Beating” Super Mario Bros By (Virtually) Swapping Cartridges
This seems like it's going a bit too far to me. That's the very phrase, "going too far," that video creator 100th Coin uses, when he finishes Super Mario Bros. by swapping cartridges in mid-play.
And it's not even really swapping cartridges. This is a TAS, a tool-assiste

My two worlds collide, I did a speedrun of my own game
(no it's not actually a speed game but that didn't stop me from implementing a speedrun timer just because I wanted to)
Still have some days off and therefore will do more streams on Owncast this week, starting later this day with refurbishing and testing SNES and Game Boy games and taking care of some PlayStation controllers.

Yesterdays Metroid Dread stream I started with an explanation of the Early Screw Attack Glitchless trick. 
Usually we need the Gravity Suit to get out of the water to reach the capsule containing the Screw Attack ability. 
But by using some exploits we can get the item without yet having the suit. 
Il n’y a pas que l’expansion de l’univers qui accélère : la #SNES aussi !
Avec le temps et sous certaines conditions (comme les variations de température), l’oscillateur en céramique qui détermine la fréquence de l’unité sonore de la Super NES devient un chouïa plus rapide, et influence donc de manière microscopique et complètement négligeable les temps de #speedrun.

404 Media · Super Nintendo Hardware Is Running Faster as It AgesWhy is this speedrunner putting his Super Nintendo in the freezer? Science.
If there was anywhere to find a programming person interested in an extremely niche challenge... It's gotta be Fedi, right?
I've been wanting a way to play specific levels of Super Mario Bros. Special to practice speedrunning them. Like, I can choose which level the game loads into so I can work on playing the game well without having to grind my way there every time.
If anyone knows how to maybe dig into this ancient obscure computer game to make such a thing happen... I'd love you forever!
Will start into Sonic 2 again later this day and try to beat my PB in Metroid Dread once again tomorrow.
Friday I will boot up my NTSC-J copy of Final Fantasy X International on my PAL PS2 with Matrix chip, using my new OSSC Pro.

@wigbert @SrRochardBunson #Writing "#Speedrun" #Challenge:
- Write the smallest consistent text containing the most (or better yet: all) of those words possible.
The less words / characters needed the better.
- It needs to have a consistent structure. It can neither be just a listing of the words nor just single sentences without consistent structure & topic across them.
Bonus points for it being an academic paper / submission / dissertation / publication / blog post / news article / ...
