Decided to come back to this for some reason and beat my previous TAS by 15.34 seconds (IGT) :P
What is TAS?: T.A.S. stands for Tool Assisted Speedrun/Superplay.
TAS is the process of using 3rd party software(s) in order to have an advantage in a game to create theoretical gameplay that a human would often not be capable of doing in real time (unless you're willing to waste hundreds of hourse of your time). This includes, but isn't limited to: Removing RNG (Random Number Generation (Randomness)), slowing down game speed, or using some form of a macro to do inputs for you.
In this case, I used a software in order to slow down the game speed so I can have more time to think ahead than an average player, and (mostly near the end) shoot faster than an average player can usually shoot(/spam spacebar).
(I still sucked, cuz some keys wouldn't be processed (I don't get how that's possible for a game that has 3 buttons, but God always has a way)).
It should also go without saying that most (if not somehow all) official speedrun leaderboards on speedrun.com do NOT allow TASes, and it's made more for the sake of fun and seeing theoretical capabilities.
For a REAL speedrun of this game, I'd 100% recommend checking out FlabCaptains noncheated World Record!!: youtu.be/sT8mGLtpIVM

Nothing super crazy. I just thought Id do some funny swag runs.

For those who dont know, the NSO modder Mints has made a mod called Alternative Ascension. As of the making of this video, the mod is in version 1.0.2. It has 3 new endings, and (potentially) more on the way.
Here is a link to the github page for those who wish to download the mod: https://github.com/Indeterminance/AlternativeAscension
It also requires BepInEx. Here is a preconfig, provided by another NSO modder, Frostworth: https://gist.github.com/amazeedaizee/ae0dd70cc0d842d6a83cd80451e3752e
(Also shows you how to configure it manually, in case you dont trust them)

If youre wondering why I didnt spam only sleep until tomorrow (which wouldve been faster), its because of one of the modded endings known as The Angel Dream, which causes an ending after doing it 7 times in a row.
Speedrun of the ending to show what I mean: https://youtu.be/4NpqzJELJkM
And for those curious, this run is technically cheated, by the speedrun.com rules (although there isnt a category for it anyways), since I loaded a different data file. The reason for this is because I needed a way to skip day 10 without streaming, but theres no day 1 save file available to load. So I got creative and opened a separate save file to do the glitch lol.
Best example to demonstrate my point is by watching my catastrophe speedrun, and watch as I skip day 10: https://youtu.be/6uJPiegtXN4

![Gawr Gura: Quest for Bread | Demo Speedrun [2:43.96]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/f_yK4IcbW2g/mqdefault.jpg "Gawr Gura: Quest for Bread | Demo Speedrun [2:43.96]
This game has been hyped up for many years, and the demo has finally released today. Ive always thought this game looked pretty cool, so Ive had it in my Steam wishlist since April 2024.
Not much to really say, other than the demo being out, itll take roughly 10 minutes to beat, and that the release date is set to be on August 27.
As for the run itself:
I dont have any idea how to efficiently kill the 2 required skeletons in the 2nd room, and I barely have any kind of strategy against Mori.
Overall movement is decent, but I think I can save at least 5 seconds before getting to the Mori fight.
I dont know if Ill improve on the demo, but its kinda fun.
As for timing:
I started the timer as I pressed Play Demo, and I intended to stop the timer once I defeated Mori. I didnt stop the timer immediately, but time wouldve been like 2;48.
But I decided to start the timer once the logo disappeared on the loading screen. This makes timing a little bit more precise and removes potential time loss from the loading screen taking longer for others, assuming others want to try. So depending on how you look at it, its either 2;43 or 2;48. Either way, Im proud of this fast time.")
![Resident Evil Requiem | PC Casual NG+ NIA No Intro [1:53:40.79]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hL1bCcAxMXs/mqdefault.jpg "Resident Evil Requiem | PC Casual NG+ NIA No Intro [1:53:40.79]
Here is my first REAL official RE9 run!
The autosplitter once again wasnt properly set up, but the only issue this time was not splitting on Hope, but it still ended at the end of the game. So thats fine.
My original first run was technically against the rules, as FPS wasnt showing (as theres a 120fps cap). So FPS is showing, and this run should be valid since the mod didnt point anything else out.
This is still a trash run, but Im glad to finally start getting somewhere half decent.
Category breakdown, for those who may not know:
- No Intro:
There are 2 categories. Full Game and No Intro.
Full Game is the base game
No Intro skips the intro, and by extension, allows you to skip the entire orphanage segment, where you play as Chloe (since both parts involve doing basically nothing).
- NIA:
NIA stands for No Infinite Ammo, as that is one of the most op cheats.
Most of the other cheats are allowed, but infinite ammo changes too much of the game, as everything can be blasted with the Requiem.
- NG+:
New Game+ doesnt actually exist in the same way other games do, but it allows you to buy all weapons and equipment from any box, and there is more boxes to buy from.
Additionally, you are allowed to (optionally) start with a lighter and bottle as Grace, and can start with the 5000 and 3000 point bands as Leon.
The NG+ categories also only allow you to do Casual and Insanity mode.
- PC
As for playing on PC, there are a couple of mods that are allowed, and the livesplit autosplitter makes it easier to time runs with LRT, compared to the console rules where RTA is used.
As for the run itself:
I play too carefully, and I did not need the extra inventory space as Grace, but I didnt want to take too many risks. I should limit myself to 1 pouch at most. Though, 0 is the standard
I had a rough time with Chunk skip, and didnt have the ammo for the Chunk fight. Was way too slow on the spider, and probably need to improve on the Hunk fight.
There are a ton of areas I couldve simply done better, but those are the parts Id say I was more upset about.

This game is one of a few minigames on the new a NSO spinoff game, known as Petit Game Collection (as you could tell from the title).
This run was originally done when there was no leaderboard, so I made it up as I went. So for the sake of the run, time started on closing the dialogue before youre able to play the game, and ended on the first frame when the last block is destroyed (giving a time of 29.71).
Now that there is an official leaderboard on speedrun.com, the new timing method is as follows: Time starts on first input of playing the game, and ends on the first frame when the last block is destroyed (giving a new time of 28.73).
Yay for sub 30 though!")

While looking back at some of the runs, I realized that Internet Overdose seemed out of date.
First of all, I knew I could do the glitch to get Darkness 2 faster. The quicker I can get the 120 stress cap, the better.
Next, I started to wonder why I was doing so many streams before, especially since I technically just need to reach Darkness 1. And I still need 80/120 on Day 25, so that would need to be figured out.
After all of that, I just had the conclusion that the best outcome would be spamming Sleep To Tomorrow, and then getting to 80 stress optimally.
This run can still technically be faster, by playing on an old version of the game, but I cant be bothered to do so. Maybe some other time. Itd be a very easy way to get a sub 8.

Im trying to get decent at DreadOut 1, and I plan to de-rust DreadOut 2. When DreadOut 3 releases, Im hoping I can do DreadOut Trilogy speederuns. Those will likely be an endurance run, but Id rather get good at doing longer runs. I used to speedrun GTA 5 and TLOU, and now I cant stand simpler runs lmao
This is also the first video Im uploading that is entirely on Linux. Played, recorded, edited, and uploaded all on Linux. Im trying my best to switch over and remove Windows entirely. (I use Arch, btw)
Since I cant seem to properly use Livesplit (crashes with Wine, and doesnt open with Proton), I very recently found a Livesplit alternative called OpenSpeedRun. Since I use Wayland (X11 is extremely buggy for me), I cant get global hotkeys to work, but this alternative has a cli version, which allows me to use terminal command shortcuts, which is basically the same thing, and connects to the GUI version that is on-screen. I am still getting used to the shortcuts, so I accidentally reset my splits after Act 0.
Either way, OpenSpeedRun is one of the best timers Ive used on Linux. It definitely needs more time to be improved, but its a project I believe in, and Id be very willing to financially help out the devs a little bit, if I could ever get in touch.
To talk about the run:
Because of this forum post (https://www.speedrun.com/dreadout/forums/f2ji6), I figured out that I could basically have infinite stamina if I precisely time when I press and release the sprint key. This means walking is almost nonexistent, if done properly.
I still suck at doing literally everything else, but I might get better soon.")
