raocow's talkhaus

Infinity's gonna be a blast from the past, and probably not in a good way compared to what we play these days. That'll be...fun?

:coldsweat: 227 exits yo

uhh

yeah thatd probably be skip from me

I honestly can't wait. It'll be like a road trip through an old place you used to spend a whole summer at.

We'll see how much we're gonna need when the time comes, but anything over 3 weeks would probably be overkill so 8 Powers sounds like a good candidate.

welp.

I haven't watched the video yet but I saw the title. Kinda thought we'd have at least a few more days before it'd happen. So yeah, we're gonna need more time, dunno how much but at this rate I'm a bit wary of whether 8 Powers will last that 2-3 week estimate... Part of me wants to say just move Delightful to after 8 Powers in its current position in the list just to be absolutely safe, but at the same time that feels like asking for too much. idk.

Huh?

I said I'd know for sure whether we'd need more time for Delightful Enhanced by the fourth music box, but I didn't expect that to happen this soon.

You shouldn't need to worry. Still more than a quarter of the treasures left to get.

BUT I don't think this'll stretch 3 weeks.

I mean it's not like 8 Powers or any other game will go amywhere if raocow doesn't get to them soon.

So going by the consistent three-chest rate, around 10 days, right? I was citing Eye's estimate of 2-3 weeks for the 8 powers LP, not for the remaining time in Wario.

Also a side note, we're discussing it in the Delightful server and apparently Last Impact is very much A Thing? Like, it may be best to play a short, romp-y game before it (which, I hasten to add, the original Delightful Adventure would not be ideal for because of a couple levels and the penultimate boss all having potentially frustration-inducing jank.)

EDIT: For folks who didn't see the original context of this discussion, check the previous page.

the 100% Longplay is 5:39:47. Assuming 20 mins an episode, that means about 17 episodes, or 23 episodes at 15mins per. Unless raocow has a lot of trouble, it probably won't be that much longer than 8 powers (which apparently has 62 exits)

Then again, Star Road took 60 episodes.

I don't think you should worry about asking raocow to wait on stuff, the list has always been really subject to shifting around and there's a lot of stuff on it right now.

yeah honestly the last thing I want is for you to stress out on things. just keep me informed on what is going on. it's all good.

Yeah we talked it over in the dev server and yeah we are definitely gonna need that extra time, mostly because i'd like Rocky, me and the other members sane, admittedly we were kinda somewhat stressed by the "deadline" we initially had with Wario Land 3, but if we do get just enough time to work on the remaining things we gotta do, it'll be all fine

On another note, yeah, Last Impact is very much a "Thing", personally i feel like it's mario 64 jank: the hack, it does a lot of impressive things but falls short quite a number of times, just my opinion though, i'd say 8 powers would be a better choice, again, imo, i don't make the calls here, lol

And sorry for the ruckus we caused...!

Don't stretch out Wario Land lol. Last Impact will take a while. It was a very frustrating experience for me (on the older version but oh well) and I had a few hacks under my belt already. raocow has less experience with SM64 and it will very much be a thing. I'm in favor of the Infinities.

I guess in that case do Last Impact next, then Delightful Adventure. No need to move anything up, and gives them more than enough time to finish what they're doing.

If you don't count rao getting the Musical Coins, for 100% completion.

Which I hope he won't, because for an LP there's little reason to do so

As I believe I've said before I don't want Wario dragged out either, and last I checked "try for one level, then his choice" was leading in the thread poll. rao generally doesn't go for 100% completion when the remaining percentage makes for bad LP content, and folks have made it clear in the thread that a music coin cleanup would not be entertaining or rewarding enough to justify retreading every level, so beyond doing it for one level to demo what happens I don't see Mr. Elf being with us that much longer.

I'm not in favor of the Infinities anytime soon either, those would be interesting later on but it sounds like it'd be a huge delay to what I think might be remaining patreon-voted A-sides...?

But I still think it would be a good idea to sandwich in a short, quick relaxaromp game before Last Impact, especially considering some of the stuff left to do in Hollow Knight and what part of the all the Megamen we're in.

There's no need to play both Infinity hacks one after another, right? You can just insert them at some point one at a time.

If raocow wants to play Last Impact next, that's his choice.

Also, just noticed, raocow marked "BROS" as an automatic win in the patapon vote, but I don't see it on the list? Did I miss something?

It used to be there

The first 6 worlds of Infinity 1 are utterly generic and unmemorable, so I expect a lot of people to drop out during such an LP. After that point the game (and by extension the entirety of SMI2) doesn't exactly become good (more like the opposite sometimes), but it does become significantly more interesting. Regardless, even as a bit of an SMI apologist I find it hard to believe it'll make for great LP material (I still like it better than what I've seen from 8 Powers at least).
