  1. Yes, if you see how big some lies are you get more sceptical, but truely seeing through all of them? Who has the time to check all that. Pattern recognition can help as well to a point, but you cant see through all of it. Zappa has commeted on this as well: I have heard multiple times that the video game crash was people just losing interest in gaming, because games were too low quality, and this specifically I dont think is true. I have read very different narratives here and I find alot reasonable, just to be clear.
  2. I'm not sure what appeals to them, but 'Tommy's Big Whoop' might catch some eyes, although it might be dated further down the line.
  3. We are basically in agreement, so there is not much of an argument as far as I see it. Unless you want to aruge that video gaming itself crashed.
  4. I guess I am just getting irritated by the term 'video game crash', and by prior stories I heard about it. What you are saying sounds reasonable to be, just to be clear.
  5. If you want to appeal to children, I'd recommend going for a theme that makes it more colorful and sparks the imagination. For example: Squirrel Away!
  6. Unfortunatly this thread is already closed, but feel free to share your perspective with me via PM.
  7. Thanks for reminding me. I will get to it as soon as I am here on a computer, since I cant see my signature on mobile. To all who were disagreeing with my take on it. I was let to believe, as well as others, that the gaming crash was a lowering in standards of games that lead to many people loosing interest altogether. When it comes to this, I think the gaming crash was not a real thing. It was mentioned that there is no offical narrative so that makes it a bit hard to argue. If we argue for a crash buisnessmen experienced in that year, I think calling it videogame crash is not the most ideal term. I see your points and think they are valid, but I want to push back on the claim that video gaming itself crashed.
  8. Hello fellow keyboard warriors, it is true, I have done it. I have mispelled a word here and there, much to the amusement of some. Would they still be laughing if they knew how fast I type? ...I don't think so. Mr Karl Jobst has brought to my attention that fakes, lies and deception in speedrunning might not be a new phenomenon at all. In fact it might be several decades old believe it or not. Now, you might think that such fakes especially if more than one person are involved are conspiratoral type of thinking and yes, this is true. But when you think of the Santa Claus conspiracy theory (how triggered I was when I first learned about it), you can easily see that some of them are true or have at the very least sound reasoning. Okay enough theoretical speaking, what is this all about? Well, a lady named Barbara Blackburn once had the Guiness World Record in speedtyping. Every Amico buff who is serious about their Tommy Tallarico facts knows that such records can be put into question, because some of them are just not true. Well her record was removed after a while and her legacy is now in question. Let's look very closely at the numbers. According to numeral sources she could type 212 word a minute. Although this has been surpassed by many she is often named as the fastest typist ever. Karl Jobst theorizes that this is a complete fabrication. Initially it was claimed in the Guiness book that she typed at 170 words a minute later it was 150 over a 50 minute timespan (37,500 strokes). From 1986 onwards (after a David Letterman appreance in 1985) her record was removed. No entry in these books, however, ever mentioned the often stated 212 words (as you can see in the Karl Jobst video). Amoung those many statements some claim that this number was mentioned in the 50th anniversary edition from 2005, even though there is no entry like that in this edition (she would have done this record at the age of 85). Karl Jobst goes more documents, but one is a LA times article that in 1985 claims that she has stated a record of 196. Apperantly the 212 claim originates from a letter Blackburn wrote that a program that analyses the speed of typing one scentence showed here a result of 212, but not over a longer stretch of time. Now with that in mind, did Blackburn fake her records? I don't think so. The numbers make sense to me and only because she did not perform on the Letterman apearance, does not mean that Blackburns records are fake. Karl Jobst is making a sound case, but I think he has a too conspiratoral mindset. If you take a step backwards and see the whole picture you can see how it makes sense, that is at least my impression. But this is why I am writing today, to learn how you feel about the Blackburn case or if you feel that in speedrunning there is a tendency to question records too much? Just because some one achieves a great record, does not mean it is fake, and it is important to make a solid case. I've heard of other speedrunners like Billy Mitchell, but I haven't looked into that yet. Feel free to share your thoughts on this case or other cases that come to mind. Thanks for your attention.

  9. Hello everyone, today I am proud to announce the first track of the OST from 'Creamhoven and the Evil Nooker - a saturnian tale' for SNES. It is the track that plays over this intro with the help of the Msu1 chip: https://vocaroo.com/1b0aKwspxTvw Unfortunatly the audio is not mono compatible, so if you have a mono setup (like one speaker smartphone) the guitar is going to be too quiet. Please don't dispear. The track is called 'Creamy Desert Blues' and is done by my superhero alterego 'PakkuMimiFresh'. It is my dream to one day have worked on the first game that uses Kirks mode 0 tech and I hope this a step in this direction. I want to thank all that made this possible, I cant name them all but here are a few: Jeffy The Dragonslayer, you have taught me well and maybe one day I will be a dragonslayer like you. Lord Mushroom, you are my sunshine, my moral support. Thanks to you I know about fattening foods and that there is always someone who will curse the Bergatrollet away. Wayler, you give the direction I need to succeed. Thanks alot. Gemintronic, for having shown interest in the project. Of course, Kirk for inventing mode 0 tech. And many more, you know who you are, thank you very much!
  10. I see your point, but I think it is moving the goalpost. This is like 'choose your own videogame crash'. The official narrative that many believe in is that videogames had gotten so bad that like millions of costumers lost interest and I frankly think this is just a myth.
  11. Yup, I dont get why the crash myth is so resilient when it does not match up with the facts.
  12. I like your theory, however, they had released the GBC since the virtual boy and when it comes to dimensions... ...I think they could have pulled it off.
  13. No you are not the only one, I'm with you on this. Especially the original masters are recommended in many cases for high fidelity listening, so pick those CDs up fo cheap while you can. I recently picked up the original release of 12 inches of snow. However if you are looking at the numbers it seems that physical media in gaming might go the way of the CD. And datpear is hard to swallow.
