raocow's talkhaus

raocow did that part differently from the intended way. You can press the switch and still survive. In fact, everything past that first rope I parsed first try, although that rope part took me a long time to figure out, like with raocow. Fair enough then. Maybe I'm making it out to be worse than it...

It's just way too unforgiving, and also really unclear at times. It's basically learning by dying: you never really know whether you want the lava to go up or down, so you die and have to try again. I don't find learning by dying to be a huge issue here because the level is so short. To me, learnin...

I did not like this level at all. I beat it legit with all dragon coins and no switch blocks, both secret exit and normal exit, and I had a pretty bad time with it all around. It's just way too unforgiving, and also really unclear at times. It's basically learning by dying: you never really know whe...

There was an eight triangle door in the south. Any reason why raocow didn't go there?

As I have it set up currently the password is in a textbox at the end of the final level. I think this is the way to go. This was how it was originally meant to be, so I don't see the point in changing anything. If anyone really wants to play the b-side before the main game for whatever reason, the...

Also, everyone is welcome to start making suggestions for what to play after this. May I suggest the best SMW romhack ever created: Super Challenge World !?! Critics love Super Challenge World: there's no way to describe how irritating and frustrating this hack is this hack doesn't rely on glitches...

Unclaiming secondary exit 15 (in case we're low on them or something)

Claiming music 89

New version, I basically did everything I said in the previous post

Please ignore the D0 stuff in the IPS patch, I don't actually plan on submitting that

Still looking for good/fitting music, but I figured I should post this first since that probably won't happen before the holidays

Is this really necessary though? I have enough self-awareness to realize that I'm a likely contender for this "prize", but still. Aren't the mosts supposed to be about highlighting the good and positive aspects of the community? Going out of your way to publicly "shame" a member ...

I too watched aterra's vod and I definitely plan to do the responsible thing and fix this level in the near future Looking at this, I think I need to do the following things: - Fix sprite memory issues all around (mostly just remove unnecessary sprites I guess) - Remove chuck from p-switch section -...

Well, time to check out Kamek's Revenge I guess. Watching these old videos is always super interesting, because some things really have changed dramatically while others have stayed exactly the same

Really nice letter today and I agree with the sentiment 100%

yippels the dog for sure

Well, the reason you have five triangles in the first place is because you found one of them completely by accident by accessing a secret (I don't even think that one was marked on the map...) So what I'm guessing is that there are three other triangles which are unmarked on the map, and you get the...

Wait, what's next? Next game in the patreon vote is Dust, but that doesn't have Hyper in the name. Maybe Hyper Light Drifter? It did not score that high, and I think raocow may have seen an LP of that. raocow has finally seen the light and is playing through Hyper 1-7 all without savestates (actual...

I think that if you want to have six midpoints in a level that's perfectly okay as long as you actually have enough different and unique ideas to justify them. Today's level felt like it kept adding on more and more segments of exactly the same kind of obstacles you already passed a dozen times with...

sorry for not addressing it! yeah, SNN sent me a list, but like I don't have it memorised or anything. There's a few authors I have memorised, but a lot of them I didn't. I feel pretty bad about this? But because this is a contest run and not a standard lp, I always feel like I have to keep moving ...

stuff I know that the contest has already moved on, but since we're somehow still talking about my level I feel like I need to explain. A lot of what you're saying is actually true - I did in fact tack the second half on in way. There was never supposed to be a second half at all because I designed...

oh hey it's my level The interesting thing about my level is that I didn't plan to submit anything to MAGL3 at all. In fact, what I originally set out to do was to create a room for JUMP½`s "Bowser's Castle", but in the end my submission was more or less rejected over there because it was ...

Huh, now I'm wondering if any of the judges ever played Dark Souls or not. Knowing the actual layout of Firelink Shrine / Undead Burg definitely made the level somewhat more amusing, because you can actually tell what the different segments are supposed to represent (replacing the firebomb throwing ...

seems like raocow could have done with a few more rounds of Puzzle Pics Addition in his time

69th place here we go

I'm really hyped about this, even though I haven't played any of the entries I just know that people have thrown together some awesome levels for this and I can't wait to see them. I just hope people haven't raged too hard playing my level...

Nimono wrote:In that case, I definitely agree with NOT throwing out Star Road just yet, since we know raocow's gonna put something else on the b-side after shake shake ends. Why not have that be Magl3?

I think the argument was that he doesn't want to run two mario related LPs at the same time

It's so good to have videos again. You only know what you've got until it's gone and all that...

...now if only raocow could figure out how to get Mario to do what he wants him to do without falling into a hole every five seconds (:

How much rao could a cowrao cow if a raocow could cow rao?
