In response to this postlike apparently this is part of the standard rules for the fewest A presses category, because you can keep A pressed between levels and it'd mess up the IL scoring if they didn't count the presses this way, but I had to find that detail out by reading chat.
I'm sure they're great TASers but this was poorly thought out. it's also remarkably dull to watch unless you know all the technical details, which is sort of problematic when they didn't even introduce the point of the run.

In response to this post"we pressed A but we don't count it because we're actually holding A, so it's just like a half press" I don't think a TAS has ever made me angry before
@gsuberland we didn't technically "Press A", instead we had Tasbot send a series of electrical signals to the controller port which results in the same command.

In response to this postwe're 5 minutes into the TAS and I still don't think they've actually explained what "A-button challenge" means lol
one of them asked the question rhetorically and then explained what the A button does, but not what they're doing with it

if you missed the Batman Forever Arcade Game run at GDQ do yourself a favour and watch it. it's 25 minutes long and every single second of it is utterly ridiculous. what even is this game

I enjoy that tomatoanus has GDQ-safe'd his name as tomatoangus
@gsuberland It's been a few years since I've seen hide or hair of him, but there was precedent for this where dickuskhan became "duck" for a while around each GDQ.

huh, TIL that deer antlers fall off and regrow annually. apparently this is a widely known thing and it just passed me by.
@gsuberland oh, I have a deer antler fact: in the early Stone Age when modern humans were migrating into Europe, they would make arrow tips from deer antler. Normally a poor choice because they break easily, however, antler was plentiful while wood for arrows was not (post-ice age). So they could reuse the arrows and just replace the tips.

@gsuberland I think shedding is one of the things that distinguish antlers from horns.
