Speedrun Education

Davesterio is a friend of mine so I invited him to a 2nd recording.  Since we talked last time about the original Final Fantasy 7 speedrun I  found it very fitting to discuss with him about the remake and its  speedrun as well. 

He absolutely loves that game and shared a lot of  insights about its early speedrun progression.  Hope you can learn a lot about learning and finding your way into new  speedruns - hopefully you got as inspired as I did by the speedrun  community and their ability to find new ways to break the games apart!

The 2nd part of my recording with Vilkku. In this half of the recording  we talked a lot more about our experience with Speedrunning so far and  we just discussed what an ideal mindset looks like and other related  topics.

Was very fun and a different kind of approach, hope you like it!

We all know Speedrunning can be a pain in the ass sometimes. Besides learning and getting better at the game which can already be really hard there is much more to learn and to endure as a speedrunner the further you want to get.

So today I invited Simply, a very experienced speedrunner who went through a lot. We ended up talking about all the critical points in his career such as his hand issues, problems with mindset and the grind in the competitive field of speedrunning. He is explaining a lot from his perspective and is giving great advice on given topics.

What a worth episode it was, me and Simply really loved to record this one. After the recording we had a nice chat in my stream with my twitch audience, so if you have any questions to my guests or me about Speedrunning or basically anything - come check out my stream, all podcast recordings happen there.

A lot of people who watch me on Twitch or follow me on Twitter know that I am a big fan of Kaizo Mario since recent times and I try my hardest to get better at it. Ever since I discovered Kaizo Mario for myself I wanted to invite someone from the Kaizo community to talk about that awesome game genre and here he is: GlitchCat!

This is the second part of the dwangoAC interview. In this part he shared a lot of knowledge and described tech about TasBot and what problems the community has to face. He was straight up blowing my mind and he shared very specific knowledge you won't find anywhere else. 

If you wanna get a little bit more of an insight and actually wanna see how the tech he was describing looks like, make sure to check out the video of this episode as well. I know it sounds counterproductive to watch a episode a second time, but this episode was so massive that I think on a 2nd listen you will understand a whole lot more! Here is the Youtube video of this episode: https://youtu.be/6vZW6I5JEqQ

Also once again shoutouts to dwangoAC, as a whole he is a very valuable member of our community and he is doing a shitton of work so make sure to check him out, highlight recommend to follow this dude around and watch all of his content! https://www.twitch.tv/dwangoAC

I was really excited for this episode since I all the TASBot showcases at previous GDQ events have been personal highlights. So I was talking with the owner of TASBot dwangoAC who told me everything about creating a TAS, where to join the community and a lot of behind the scene information.

Please also consider joining and checking out the offical TASBot stream, where a lot of things get showcased to get a better idea of what is happening in the world of TAS: https://www.twitch.tv/dwangoAC

In todays episode I invited Emray, a female Hollow Knight and Pokemon speedrunner. We talked about the female speedrun community and how it is to be a girl in a male dominated community.

Most people who ever held a world record for a longer time probably have experienced that: the general audience of twitch doesn't know what really stand behind a world record. 

They think there is a big rivalry between runners and also their behavior pressures runners to performe well otherwise they are not worth it. Because of reasons like that I talked with Kosmic about that topic to clear some things up. 

We are also humans and we do understand why a world record is more exciting than just a regular run or personal best. But it is also our hobby and all we want is just getting fun and enjoyment out of that hobby. So I hope after this episode you understand us better. 

Please make sure to follow Komsic on Twitch, he is a fantastic Mario Bros. 1 runner (the best out there in my opinion. 

I would also like to remind you that you can catch those podcast episodes live, so make sure to check out my twitch channel, there you can interact with me and my guests before and after the episode recording!

In the 2nd episode I recorded with Vysuals we talked and explained everything you need to know about RNG in Speedruns! Since Vysuals has to deal with RNG consistently in his speedrun (Hollow Knight) he got a lot of valuable info on how to deal with randomness mentally, which you need to listen too. 

He also clears up the "misconception" that RNG is nothing good in Speedruns, in fact he believes a random factor gives most speedruns more depth and make them uniqu and special. Of course there is the need of the right balance between randomness and pure skill parts in a speedrun, but if they are met together well we get beautiful speedruns, like Hollow Knight. 

Hope you stop hating on RNG and you finally start to see the postive, thank you Vysuals for chatting with me about this topic it was very informative, please do me a favoure and support and watch him on his journey to become a partnered streamer on twitch, link to his channel here! 

Catch those episodes live if you can on my twitch cahnnel, would make me happy to see you guys there and chat with you a bit about the topics too. Me and my guests have obviously enough spare time to talk with all of you!
