This brought the WR down from 1h 12m 51s to just 46m 55s. This will probably be a separate category from the old any%. > Apparently, the Japanese community had quietly been working on this and just dropped this massive discovery out of nowhere. From Noki Doki in the Discord > You use cutscene underflow to replay the right bell Shine spawn cutscene played previously, but since you're on a different map (Ricco/Gelato unlock plaza vs. Shadow Mario chase plaza), the right bell Shine isn't at the same memory address anymore, and the old address (which the cutscene still has) now holds something else, in this case render data for the turbo gate behind the lighthouse. > We can line up that turbo gate at a very precise position on screen so that when trying to spawn the "Shine", the cutscene will read the position as a memory address and run code from wherever we want. The game keeps track of stick angles to check for spins, which is the easiest memory area to manipulate that we know of, so that's where we write the arbitrary code

Another Mr Kindhoover track. I can't stop listening to this one, really amazing remix of Do You Know Squarepusher. https://soundcloud.com/mrkindhoover https://mrkindhoover.bandcamp.com/music (all free) This Youtube video was uploaded in 2013, the original source appears to be Myspace, but Myspace won't tell me when the song was uploaded there https://myspace.com/mrkindhoover/music/songs According to Discogs, Mr Kindhoover was actively releasing albums from 2008 to to 2011, so it's likely in that range. https://www.discogs.com/artist/2030885-Mr-Kindhoover

Cylobian Sunday! > "Cylobian Sunset", recorded in 1994 and first released two years later, has since become regarded as an underground classic of electronic listening music. The tracks for "Bounds Green", released in 2007, were culled from the same sessions, and both albums share the same warmth, simplicity of style and melancholy.

Happy 25th anniversary to System Shock 2 (I'm actually a day late, oops!). One of the original Immersive Sims, and precursor to the BioShock series. This has much more RPG elements than BioShock does, and an inventory grid. -------------- # [Wikipeda Synopsis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Shock_2) System Shock 2 is a 1999 action role-playing survival horror video game designed by Ken Levine and co-developed by Irrational Games and Looking Glass Studios. Originally intended to be a standalone title, its story was changed during production into a sequel to the 1994 game System Shock. The alterations were made when Electronic Arts—who owned the System Shock franchise rights—signed on as publisher. The game takes place on board a starship in a cyberpunk depiction of 2114. The player assumes the role of a soldier trying to stem the outbreak of a genetic infection that has devastated the ship. Like System Shock, gameplay consists of first-person combat and exploration. It incorporates role-playing elements, in which the player can develop skills and traits, such as hacking and psionic abilities. System Shock 2 was originally released in August 1999 for Microsoft Windows. The game received critical acclaim but failed to meet commercial sales expectations. Many critics later determined that the game was highly influential in subsequent game design, particularly on first-person shooters, and considered it far ahead of its time. It has been included in several "greatest games of all time" lists. In 2007, Irrational Games released a spiritual successor to the System Shock series, titled BioShock, to critical acclaim and strong sales. System Shock 2 had been in intellectual property limbo following the closure of Looking Glass Studios. Nightdive Studios were able to secure the rights to the game and the System Shock franchise in 2013 to release an updated version of System Shock 2 for modern operating systems, including for OS X and Linux, and announced plans to release an Enhanced Edition of the game. OtherSide Entertainment announced in 2015 that they had acquired the rights from Nightdive Studios to produce a sequel, System Shock 3, but as of 2020 the rights have since been transferred to Tencent. ----------------- # Videos [MandaloreGaming - System Shock 2 Review](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tONyeEcozrw) [Finntrovert - System Shock 2 - Retrospective / Review](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzAboAc_WKE) [Ramsker - System Shock 2 is Still A Masterpiece](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogQlFmBaYm4) [Boulder Punch - System Shock 2 Review | An Immersive Sim Classic](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiVLrD2Bgqo) ---------- # Links [IGDB Page](https://www.igdb.com/games/system-shock-2)   [MobyGames Page](https://www.mobygames.com/game/590/system-shock-2/)     ---------- # About !retrostatus@retrolemmy.com This community is for big milestone anniversaries of retro games (15 years or older, every multiple of 5 years).

Throwback Thursday! Here's another Rephlex classic from the 90s, in honor of Squarepusher being our community's new icon and banner image.

New video from The Cellar [Taigen Moon] > In 1998, after FMV had already been buried, the last hero of the failed genre hit the shelves... and no one played. And those who did, didn't like it. This is Tender Loving Care, with John Hurt! Family Friendly Edition of this video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cr09faqcU-w > (The original upload is age restricted, so I've created this new, family friendly version! Watch it with your kids!)

> A 1 second improvement over the previous record by Connor Fitzgerald. > I finally put the theorised "grenadejump off the ogre" strat to the test, and it worked wonders. I did have some issues with the slope in the zombie room, so I decided to find a better alternative - a sliding grenadeboost off the zombie - that turned out to be quicker as well. I also found the last room to be slow in Connor's demo, and figured out quickly that you can bounce a grenade off the pillar, so when the main button gets hit the grenade explodes in front of the zombie just as the wall lowers. A bit rough in some spots, but unless new strats are found this is staying at 29. Here's a Quake Speedruns Explained video about this record: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekUscpJbIak "RIP My Last Golden-Age Quake Run..."
