Doing a Mario Speedrun in a bar to impress strangers

[@jackringel485]

oh sure so when *cj* does a mario speedrun in a bar to impress strangers everyone LOVES it but when *i* do a mario speedrun in a bar to impress strangers i'm "ruining the vibe" and "need to stop pulling out my switch in front of random people just trying to enjoy their night"

the thing about doing a hard trick and then the next day someone comes up with an easier way to do it... i feel that on a personal level. I spent THREE DAYS trying to get memory storage in BotW, and literally the next day IST was discovered. F me.

[@Geebinator]

I thought ist was harder

[@blockmath_2048]

@@Geebinator memory storage requires multiple frame perfect inputs and being very quick in order to *set up* the glitch. IST is just a bit tedious due to the large amounts of items that need to be gone through.

[@Electro4890]

@@blockmath_2048 What does memory storage do again?

[@blockmath_2048]

@@Electro4890 You watch a memory at the same time as you reload a save, which prevents the game from autosaving, letting you transfer your inventory from one file to another.

Can't believe I just spent an hour and 21 minutes watching someone speedrun Mario Odyssey inside of a bar.

[@markjrcolin1210]

Odyssey is basically the next Mario 64 just because it’s the current game to have about as much attention in the speedrun community (and modding community) as 64 had/ still kinda has. It’s honestly great to finally see a Mario title after 64 to reach 64 fame in that regard.

[@GamerOverThere]

I didn't think I'd watch the whole thing, but I did! The commentary was really good and CJ is crazy good at Superstar mode

[@markshay7153]

Literally sponsored by something other than the bar is hilarious

[@dollenrm]

Damn I wish this type of bar was more common, or just like a bar where gaming stuff is on the tvs not the typical sports bar fare. Would definitely get me to justify spending the super inflated drink prices vs buying my own shit and drinking with friends outside of a bar environment.

[@chloe8484]

theres this really sick arcade i go to every once in a while, and they have a bar with mini consoles on the counter so you can eat/drink and play (not to mention the entire rest of the arcade which has all sorts of cool games) im not old enough to drink but its one of my favorite spots to visit. tho i wish they had more locations bc theyre only in florida right now :(

[@zenox1104]

We have one in my city in germany, its really fun

[@gakmstr]

they are pretty common. and they do have very expensive drinks typically to cover costs. theyre called barcades
