- 22:27 SahasrahBot: Tournament Controls:
- 22:27 Race opened automatically by SahasrahBot
- 22:27 SahasrahBot invites professorpixie#5909 to join the race.
- 22:27 SahasrahBot invites LucienGreeth#9530 to join the race.
- 22:27 SahasrahBot: Welcome! Use the "Roll Tournament Seed" pinned above about 5 minutes before your race start. You do NOT need to wait for your setup helper to do this or start your race, they will appear later to setup the stream.
- 22:36 professorpixie#5909 accepts an invitation to join.
- 22:41 LucienGreeth#9530 accepts an invitation to join.
- 22:41 LucienGreeth: Hey. How's it going?
- 22:42 professorpixie: terrible, not sure if my dang emulator is gonna work. it's already ctd on me once when trying to go back to the main menu after closing a different seed.
- 22:42 LucienGreeth: If you need a few extra minutes, I'm all good for it. I just got home from work.
- 22:43 professorpixie: i mean i have the other one, but also i never found an entrance tracker that made sense (because i don't understand ANYTHING these "people" use) so not even sure if the thing will work properly in autotracking for this type of seed
- 22:43 professorpixie: basically everything has gone completely sour the entire day.
- 22:44 LucienGreeth: Sorry to hear that.
- 22:44 professorpixie: for some stupid reason MY snes9x never actually accepts background inputs no matter HOW MUCH i check the stupid box
- 22:44 professorpixie: but everyone else can get it working just flipping fine.
- 22:45 professorpixie: so i don't like using that one for manual tracking, but i don't think autotracking will work for this because of having to run the right "type" of tracker and seed together, so basically i still have a substandard setup and no comfort level in terms of asking about getting it to actually work properly.
- 22:46 LucienGreeth: Did you want to reschedule for tomorrow? I'm free all weekend if today's not working.
- 22:46 professorpixie: this is basically the only day that works really
- 22:47 professorpixie: and rescheduling won't help me not being comfortable asking for someone to help me get the thing working, because i don't do well with most guides and that's what they'll point me towards. i need someone to actually sit with me on a call for this one because it looks obvious but there's something i'm missing
- 22:48 professorpixie: so i basically lose interest in asking because all i see are people that just go "oh go look here" as if the guide will explain everything. it. does. NOT.
- 22:49 professorpixie: i've already got my delay going, so if the one emulator goes and does a ctd, i'll just switch to the other before i actually ready up.
- 22:50 LucienGreeth: Sorry to hear that. I don't have a whole lot of experience in setting up autotracking, so I can't help much in that regard.
- 22:51 professorpixie: not the autotracker i have a problem with, it's the fact that the background input option isn't working. which is the one thing keeping me from doing manual tracking consistently on snes9x.
- 22:51 professorpixie: i could get the autotracker to work. i just don't have time to try and find an entrance tracker that works with that function.
- 22:52 LucienGreeth: I've been using Dunka for tracking Crosskeys. I haven't found anything in Emotracker that I like for Crosskeys
- 22:52 professorpixie: and with my luck, it will break massively and throw me off if i try and use it. so i'm hoping my stuff currently works. retroarch is still running thankfully.
- 22:52 professorpixie: i think i tried looking at dunka's once, or saw it, and it just did not make sense. too many colors.
- 22:53 professorpixie: or too much something. too many lines i think? i dunno, it just hurt to look at
- 22:54 LucienGreeth: I get that. It's a weird game mode. I see people that absolutely love it. I'm not 100% sold on it yet.
- 22:54 professorpixie: i hate it.
- 22:55 LucienGreeth: I'll be back in a couple minutes.
- 22:55 professorpixie: i actually had the role for a while for entrance pings in case i wanted to do pickup stuff for practice. then i saw nothing BUT entrance pings for weeks. no thanks, i took myself off that role
- 22:59 LucienGreeth: I'm back. Want to roll the seed, or should I?
- 22:59 professorpixie: i tend to roll absolute trash fires
- 22:59 LucienGreeth: Gotcha. I'm on it then.
- 22:59 LucienGreeth: !tournamentrace
- 22:59 SahasrahBot: Generating game, please wait. If nothing happens after a minute, contact Synack.
- 22:59 SahasrahBot updated the race information.
- 22:59 SahasrahBot: Seed has been generated, you should have received a DM in both Discord and RaceTime.gg. Please contact a Tournament Moderator if you haven't received the DM.
- 23:00 professorpixie: IT WAS JUST FUCKING WORKING
- 23:01 professorpixie: you know what. this whole fucking thing is fucking dumb.
- 23:01 professorpixie: i guess i'll find out if autotracking breaks
- 23:03 LucienGreeth: You good to go?
- 23:03 professorpixie: yup. i'll have to try a fresh install of the dang other one because i like it better rn. but time to see if i broke things elsewhere yay

- 01:49 professorpixie: done with everything to do with this game as far as racing i swear
- 01:49 LucienGreeth: GGs
- 01:49 LucienGreeth: Hey. I know how you feel. I've been there plenty of times.
- 01:49 professorpixie: no it's EVERY time.
- 01:50 LucienGreeth: Trust me. I've been there.
- 01:50 professorpixie: to the point where i question my own actual wins because i don't feel that was even possible
- 01:50 professorpixie: nothing feels like it helps for very long, and it feels like i've gotten no better no matter what i do or did even in frigging mentor. that was the only tolerable one because i didn't have the likes of inv teams IN MY FACE EVERY SINGLE TIME.
- 01:51 LucienGreeth: You're talking to a mirror right now. I know exactly how you feel.
- 01:51 LucienGreeth: I've felt the same way. I ended up taking the summer off.
- 01:52 professorpixie: doesn't help when admins make modes harder for the sake of making it "interesting" for their skilled players.
- 01:52 professorpixie: that's not interesting. that's demoralizing.
- 01:53 LucienGreeth: I haven't been super into the modes this year to be honest.
- 01:53 LucienGreeth: Like, I just got my first League win just a couple weeks ago after 3 years of trying.
