Lemmy has that too (depending which app/frontend you use)

Doesn't PieFed already do this?

Is this the tipping point? There was another popular Youtuber who made a similar video recently, I forget who, but I could see videos like this bringing enough users to make Linux more than a drop in the bucket.

I can't believe it, they're finally adding quote posts

the carousel for pinned posts seems cool, I have a bunch of pinned posts but I do kinda hate the scrolling down to find the actual most recent post

Kinda: https://discover.discourse.com/

I don't think it's a complete list, but also there's no way to filter by which ones have the ActivityPub plugin

strange they aren't on https://fediverse.observer/

makes it hard to find which instances have ActivityPub enabled, and what communities we could subscribe to

There’s been a pivot away from “classic” speedruns games over the last few years - I get that Doom or Sonic 2 or Goldeneye or other 90s games aren’t guaranteed a place every year, but it seems like the games that kicked off the speedrun scene are often overlooked these days.

I definitely always want 80s/90s games in GDQ lol, but I'm old so what do I know, I can still enjoy newer games sometimes

the tension combined with Art chewing the scenery, legendary scene

Like the 2016 Doom onwards, the runs are technically outstanding, but there’s a lot of walking on invisible geometry with collision detection, or random tricks like railboosting in Doom that seems to break a game.

but the glitchless/etc runs of those Doom games on high difficulty are amazing, Doom Eternal is so fast it's basically a single-player e-sport

FIRST EVER FULL GAME RTA COMPLETION OF ACE!!! This beats my standard Any% WR by over 12 seconds, which is absolutely crazy to think about. For those confused about the final time, I didn't know the loading times were removed between triggering ACE and the credits, so that's why I thought it was a 7:45. Only day 1 and 6th run to 8-4 on normal sub 8 pace and I clutched it out!

Huge shoutouts to Simplistic and others for initially discovering this ACE and making this all a reality. Huge shoutouts to threecreepio for being the one to initially motivate me to try out ACE RTA and for being incredibly helpful by making an ACE ROM hack and explaining to me what exactly is needed for ACE to work. Another huge shoutouts to LeKukie for helping me find and improve RTA viable setups for full game runs. Without them this wouldn't have been possible :)

Time with loads is 7:51.207
