cleartonic @cleartonic.net · 03/09/2026@receptmeltwater.bsky.social Can we get a strolling guy megathread going? Just some guys and girls that are always moving, buddy. Here's yours to start us off 2101
cleartonic @cleartonic.net · 01/09/2026Ah- dialogue that begins with the character "A" needs a special code before the message. Thanks for reporting. 010
cleartonic @cleartonic.net · 31/08/2026First release of the Dragon Quest VI English patch revision is up: Info Site: cleartonic.net/dq6/ Download: github.com/cleartonic/d... 16393197
cleartonic @cleartonic.net · 28/08/2026Shiny Poipole, just under 2k tries. Good nature too. Messed up my audio sources so the footage has Worlds Preshow audio too, fun 0150
cleartonic @cleartonic.net · 19/08/2026I boot up SMW Reverie (a puzzle hack) on a whim yesterday, beat it tonight. It's really incredible and if it's in your interests, you definitely should check it out: www.smwcentral.net?p=section&a=.... Here are my notes, proof check (spoiler warning in the paste). pastebin.com/v2Va8B4Rsmwcentral.net 010
cleartonic @cleartonic.net · 13/08/2026If you were getting worried that speedrunning is becoming less active these days, don't be- the JP gang is holding down the fort in 2026. Urupo got the fastest time for Dragon Quest 7 PSX JP with an glorious 12h28m16s run- it's more competitive than you'd guess, too: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wpda...youtube.com【自己ベスト】ドラクエ7RTA 12:28:16 #1YouTube video by ウルポ 0141
cleartonic @cleartonic.net · 05/07/2026They came for my spreadsheets. My last bastion of hope. It's all gone too far 0384
cleartonic @cleartonic.net · 20/06/2026In times like these I usually just shrug, work on personal projects and keep to myself. But I can't shake the feeling that something different is happening. Everyone is feeling something these days. But what is it? 220
cleartonic @cleartonic.net · 20/06/2026It's not just online, either. I've been attending more in person local events in the last year than ever before. And although it's better there, many people still pull out their phones and glaze over so fast during any down time 220
cleartonic @cleartonic.net · 20/06/2026Reactionary discourse is in every aspect of communication from world news to media, games & music, even niche hobbies. It manifests in the way people talk. It feels as though people talk about each other, and at each other, instead of to each other 150
cleartonic @cleartonic.net · 20/06/2026Something's happening, and it's not just something to blame on the pandemic. It feels more recent than that 140
cleartonic @cleartonic.net · 20/06/2026Doom posting a bit. The internet feels like a very distracted place. Excessively so- more than ever before. I've been finding it increasingly difficult to talk in an earnest way about interests and thoughts pretty much anywhere online 1120
cleartonic @cleartonic.net · 30/05/2026The old DQVI patch had two notorious bugs- backing out of the Info > All and Equip menus would softlock the game. Fan translation had some infinite looping/preemptive fail-safes. Took awhile to understand, but it's solved by a few lines of code Looks good now, needs some stress testing 0597
cleartonic @cleartonic.net · 18/05/2026Wrote up a pastebin, nothing contentious, just some thoughts about what's going on with clearT gaming pastebin.com/vwsqMiSzpastebin.com5_17_2026 - Pastebin.comPastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time. 5260
cleartonic @cleartonic.net · 09/05/2026I made a page for the translation of Dragon Quest VI SFC to a cleaner, less buggy English/SNES version. The effort is going well and it's been an interesting exercise to figure it all out. More to come: cleartonic.net/dq6/ 36816
cleartonic @cleartonic.net · 01/05/2026With some furious hacking I was able to pull out all of the text from NoPrgress' ancient patch, decode/convert/re-encode all of the text data with the new font widths, which generates very fast too. With this plus the ability to rewrite text anywhere, the pastabilities are endless 0284
cleartonic @cleartonic.net · 29/04/2026Been learning about SNES fonts & compression recently. The rabbit hole goes deep but very rewarding to figure out 511412
cleartonic @cleartonic.net · 26/04/2026Joined the massive online Champions tournament with about 6,000 entrants, I made it to day 2 and went 9-3. Game's hard, but it was a good time 0270
cleartonic @cleartonic.net · 21/04/2026Name a better localization than Gurdijeff from Wild ARMs 1. I don't think you can, because it's flawless 1130
cleartonic @cleartonic.net · 13/04/2026Got to Master Ball Doubles in 1 day of Champions, the sub 11 hour run. Played with these 6 the entire time. Golurk W 0210
cleartonic @cleartonic.net · 20/03/2026In the older days (pre ~2014), even a multi page report of the run was good enough for that site. The way I've interpreted is that they have valued some strat protection more than the west has. But although things have largely coalesced these days where many runs have a VOD linked, some still don't 010
cleartonic @cleartonic.net · 20/03/2026Strangely this mostly has been and still is the case for many Japanese runs on the nico leaderboards (mostly relevant for DQ)- they require a live stream at some point, but it can be as little as 1 person watching/verifying, then the VOD is never required to be present and is usually just lost 110
cleartonic @cleartonic.net · 12/03/2026I'm trying to be charitable but this comes across like it's a burden and you're suffering through it. Not only is PSIV a cool game, it's also an incentive you had for the stream and damn if I was the person who won the game slot and read this, I'd not be thrilled about it. What's it all for then? 160
cleartonic @cleartonic.net · 12/02/2026It's finally time to play my first MMO, Dragon Quest X, to complete my Dragon Quest loremaster journey. It will my toughest trial yet 1200
cleartonic @cleartonic.net · 16/12/2025Tomorrow we're going back into the legal system with Great Ace Attorney 2, which will finally get me caught up on lawyering. Original game's over 8 years old 💀 so it's about time to play, see you in court 0120
cleartonic @cleartonic.net · 26/11/2025Sonic update: 🫤 Sonic Rush 🆒Sonic Riders ✅Sonic Rush Adventure 🤡Sonic Rivals Currently on '06 050
cleartonic @cleartonic.net · 14/11/2025That's an interesting case. But it's all made up until they prove it with the run or describe the tech precisely right? Like there isn't an asterisk for unproven runs in general, the best run is a proven one. Also that is obviously lame behavior from them 100
cleartonic @cleartonic.net · 14/11/2025I was thinking about strat hoarding in speedrunning recently and wrote up some thoughts.

cleartonic @cleartonic.net · 26/10/202510 years ago this week we got a checkmark. Let's do a little festival. See you tomorrow @ twitch.tv/cleartonic 0376
cleartonic @cleartonic.net · 21/10/2025I was hungry so I made a bowl of pasta. Olive oil and salt. Nothing else. I don't feel bad about it either. I love carbs and if you hate carbs then get the hell out of my sphere. 3471
cleartonic @cleartonic.net · 15/10/2025Also, there are a lot of good tracks, but this is truly required listening: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaCk...youtube.comLost Odyssey OST - Disc1 - Track10 - Neverending JourneyYouTube video by Synapsidae 050
cleartonic @cleartonic.net · 15/10/2025Played a longtime RPG backlog game, Lost Odyssey. It's got some real cool parts, including awesome cutscene work, characters & early story points, but I didn't like the last chunk of the game very much and I felt that it fell victim to classic uninspiring JRPG endgame tropes. Glad I played though 2130

cleartonic @cleartonic.net · 07/09/2025Despite having a kinda rough Global Challenge for Pokemon, I went undefeated every game at the local reg H tournament and challenge cup today. Also I won a Wooloo 3571
