---------------
Really wanted to play the Wii VC version, but something in the capture process made it stutter hardcore, to a point where it would have been unwatchable. I opted to do the Wii U VC release, but that turned out to be a mistake by itself.
I don't know if it's my recently acquired "third party" Pro Controller, or if this version has notable input latency, or both, but it felt like I was playing a completely alien game. I kept fumbling consecutive jumps and wall kicks far more than I usually do, to a point where I could barely trust my movements by the endgame. Unsurprisingly, it took me about an hour longer to beat the game than on my last two streams.

Live Notification: It's-a me. It's-a always me.
Stream Description: "Wii U Virtual Console version. 120 Stars, like always.
Originally intended to use the Wii VC one, but it was having this unbearable visual stutter.
It's been almost a year since I last played any version of this game. Figured I might as well do it today for the tenuous excuse of "Mario Day"."

![Nuts & Milk [Famicom] - Playthrough (Game A)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/n--tuWrqKU8/mqdefault.jpg "Nuts & Milk [Famicom] - Playthrough (Game A)
Something classic today. First 1440p upload, too.
On the whole, Nuts & Milk is a relatively easy game once you get the hang of it, but doing it deathless was miserable. Took me 12-13 hours of non-stop playing to do this the one time. Something that may be hard to fully comprehend without having played the game is how brutally precise many jumps get. Those 2-block gaps require close-to-frame-perfect jumps, the chains/ladders are deceptively difficult to reach from certain angles, and they dont let you jump on them. Im also going to throw in the controller excuse and blame the bafflingly sticky D-pad on DualShock 4 controllers, even if most of the deaths were total chokes.
Anyway, in case youre wondering, *Nuts* is the green blob; he HATES you. You control the pink blob *Milk* , and your goal is to survive these treacherous lands, forage for victuals and to HelP your fiancée, *Yogurt* .
Meatiest tips to focus on to fully Milk your Nuts:
1. When stunned from a fall, hold A (jump) instead of tapping it for the quickest recovery. To ensure no jump happens when recovering, you have to hold A before initiating the fall, if you start holding mid-air or when already stunned, youll jump
2. Nuts is persistent, but largely predictable. Follow their movements closely and memorize how they react to your actions, thisll be useful for manipulating them out of the way in some of the tighter rounds.
3. On bonus rounds (rounds ending in 3 or 8), its better to always ignore any fruit that requires a detour on bonus rounds and simply try to reach Yogurt, as the fruit are only 800 points per, while reaching Yogurt gives you one extra life up to a max of 9. You lose the bonus if time runs out
4. If youre struggling getting high jumps off the springs, start holding the jump button moments *before* you land on the spring. If youre landing from high enough that Milk starts tumbling (e.g. in rounds 17 or 35), youll never get a high jump from a timed press. As for momentum, it depends entirely on what speed you jump on it, and which part of the spring you land on. If you land near the edges, you lose a lot of your forward momentum, so aim slightly closer to the center
5. Pressing Select on any round will automatically skip to the next one, but you will miss out on the beautiful ending if you skip even once in a run
If youre wondering what the differences are between game modes, Game B adds helicopters and blimps. Thats it. When youre closer to the left side of the screen, a greenish helicopter occasionally spawns in approaching from the right, which gives you 500 points when collected. Closer to the right, a red blimp approaches from the left which kills you on contact. Beating Game A automatically switches to Game B for the rest of the run, but beating Game B never changes the ending, regardless of whether you do it from the start or as a repeat run.
Fun fact, the thing that got me wanting to do this was the 300-minute GCCX special where Arino challenges this game.

This stream was a little bit unique. Check the Stream Description if you want to find out why.
I already have my eye on a game I will most likely stream next.
Stream Date: 2022-07-23
Stream Title: Its Contra
Live Notification: S for Success
Stream Description: Quick Contra today with a bit of a twist as I already know the result. A couple hours before I decided to stream, I played Contra with input recording enabled. I usually dont know how things will go when I write stuff down here, but I would have typed the following.
The goal is a regular playthrough, hopefully without many/any deaths.
Contra was one of those games I only knew through a crusty multicart (that I still own) from when I was a kid, and I played it a ton. I used to fancy myself pretty good at doing deathless runs, but most of that skill has left me over the decades.
Anyway, its unlikely Ill do an input movie in this way again, but I might start recording inputs during streams whenever possible. It seems like a better way of future-proofing archives over having just a 720p video.
...Youre still reading this? Thats amazing. Sincerely hoping it doesnt desync mid-stream and make everything super awkward.
