I talk so much trash on here about how lemmings can't game and not only do they never step, they post about how AI is the future.

If ML is the future then why don't you use it to beat Castlevania 3?

Oh. I remember you. What's your deal?

Like, are you speaking through a persona to rile people up for fun, or is this just who you are? Either way, you do you, I guess, but I'm just curious.

This post is a goof on two joker memes

Have you beaten Castlevania 3? I only treat with those of my station.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

No. Used to own it though, got pretty far considering how hard it is. I remember the wizard has flaming BO.

What do you mean, Lemmy users get feral when they see anything about AI mentioned.

I don't understand the appeal to TAS speedruns. Of course a computer can do it better; it's more impressive when it's done by a human though.

TAS runs are often are less about the challenge of beating a game and more about displaying mastery in knowledge and understanding of the game's code.

Don't be discouraged if you don't get it right off the bat, even just casually viewing them requires a fundamental understanding of how games and computers work.

🤡 if I don't get it right off the 'what?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

“Right off the bat” is a phrase used to mean: immediately, without requiring extra thought or consideration, upon first attempt or viewing, etc.

its supposed to be a joke based on the joker/ BATman theme of the post

a really bad one

TAS can be considered its own competitive speedrun genre, with its own players trying to optimize and reduce times further and further. As far as I know, very few games have reached a point of being definitively 100% TAS optimized.

Additionally, TAS often is the incubator for ideas and tech that human speedrunners can adapt for their own use, too.

It's not a computer playing, a person plans out the run and then executes the plan with the help of slow motion, save states, and frame-by-frame play. Seeing things that no human could possibly pull off unassisted is entertaining too.
