I spent most of my free time this week digging into how to write scripts for LiveSplit and finding the values I was looking for in Sworn, which is based off Unity.

I'm thinking of writing down some doc on how I did it using CheatEngine and UnityExplorer then make it available online in case anyone else wants to do the same but I haven't had a blog in years and don't really feel like having one again.

Does anyone has advice on how to share this doc? Preferably in a non-enshittifiable way.

"The actual boss-flag value to get to Ook is 3 or more, and the reset [...] set the value somewhere in the 30s or 40s, so I'll even have some boss-flag left over for later which is why I always have Tupperware handy when running 100%"

Not only is this commented 100% #speedrun of #Zelda #TwilightPrincess incredibly comfy, it's also dead-pan funny. Highly recommended, even if you only listen to it in the background!

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. ⏱️

Just watched a video where some madlad archieved a mario bros 3 tas in a couple microseconds by inventing a completly new form of #TAS : the cartidgeswapping tas, where they simply swapped the cartridge with CPU cycle pricision to write code into the #NES console! Just awesome what we can achieve when we just try hard enough xDDDD

... And it got me thinking to maybe attempt something similar for either the #SNES or #N64 lmao!

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. 🛡️

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. 🩱
