Friend was permanently suspended out of the blue, allegedly because his username of 10+ years consisting of two made-up words was "encouraging harassment". After an appeal, he got told "Oops, our bad, but you still get a ToS strike."
Huh? They using unchecked AI to do moderation now or what?

recalling the time I had Mortal analyze my gamelog and it basically called me a big stupid idiot because I put the red dora on the right instead of the left on this pon call, something that definitely both matters and the client gives you control over

I made the mistake of checking what happened on my minute+ PB-pace Divers run that died in the final boss.
Crit for exact lethal.
You gotta be kidding me.

I checked Pokémon Masters. It has gacha and no mature themes/risqué outfits. PEGI 7.
Kids gambling real money for blorbos on a system deliberately designed to be addictive? OK!
Fake money cartoon animal racing practically designed to teach you how much gambling can be rigged against you? Hell no!

Big shoutouts to RedRobot, who routed the Grimstone Gift RNG Manip route and helped answer questions. I've made some condensed notes for myself and, with a bit of practice, I should be able to consistently stick the landing on this in under 9 minutes (as opposed to the up-to-20 minutes on no-manip).

Doing some work on filling out the Warptank IL boards, and I'm quite happy with managing to pull this one off on Crust Sector. Such a tight route!

Big improvements. Sub-18 is definitely possible but it's gonna take top-notch execution and a fair bit of luck.

A less-cursed speedrunning discovery - here's a demonstration of the optimal* route for getting the Avianos Gift, using a 2P game.
1) Collect bones from map
2) Brontor, build church, Sacred Offering to level 3 and take Miracle+
3) Trilock for +7 bones
4) BRONTORMAX

Horrifying developments - this strat which I thought was TAS-only is very much human-viable.
It's saves well over 20 seconds at the very end of the run, requires a consistent ~10/s mash, and has about a 5/5/90% RNG split on fully working, partially working, or killing you instantly.
Speedrunning!

Tipped over my hamper on accident while emptying the clean laundry out of it only for it to stop halfway and pose like some sort of modern art project

Found a new route for Course 14! Reorders everything to take advantage of the double boost available on the top 2 boosters. This beats the warning buzzer, saving 2.667 seconds over the old route!

Turns out that by re-painting a few specific tiles, you can manipulate the AI cars into spreading out and painting the map more efficiently, triggering the GERRY IS THE BEST PROGRAMMER easter egg 10 frames sooner than the normal strat of just sitting in the corner.

Max Potions are always available in the shop @ 10 for 200 coins. The others are strictly worse than Max, yet this box for 50 Max and 50 Worse-Than-Max is claiming a base value HIGHER than 100 max potions, so it can boast a more valuable discount than is actually offered.
This is LITERALLY ILLEGAL.
