Thank you Wirtual for all the wonderful content. I've been binging your stuff all week and finally purchased Trackmania to play myself today. Experiencing the contrast between me as a beginner and yourself really makes me appreciate your skills that much better.
I know people make fun saying they fall asleep to your long form content but it has really helped me with my recent sleep issues, if I play your videos it can usually help me sleep by the end of it or earlier. Thank you so much Wirtual! ❤
@@CerberusHD I wasn’t trying to say it was easy just that with shorter stuff that’s got a hard at you could have to play flawlessly (in human standards not TAS perfect) for a minute and not respawn any checkpoints then still have only beat AT by a fraction of a second, but if you play a trial map that’s much more difficult to finish, but the AT makes several mistakes that force respawning checkpoints then there is definitionally more room to make mistakes and still get the AT. To use some other speed run games as an example it’s the same way as if you were to compare the room for error in the smb any% wr to the sm64 120 star wr there’s definitely more room for error in sm64 120 star, but it doesn’t make it easy just that one record is more precise because it’s less than 5 minutes where as the other one is still precise just less so since it’s over one and a half hours long.

On the topic of grind, not just grinding for records.. the word has a very bad connotation. People think grind is a bad thing. I would argue it's absolutely not. I would argue that there is no good game that keeps your attention span for longer than it takes to play through the story or so, that does not involve grinding *something.* Be it records, the ladderboard, or rare loot in dungeons. Grind is what keeps our attention. There is just good ways to implement grind and bad ways to implement grind.. and many people have PTSD or smth from some bad MMO they played^^
Grind makes things a chore. Hunting/grinding for a time on a track is vastly different to grinding for levels or materials to craft. The only "good" way to implement grind is a timed challenge, MAYBE a points leaderboard. That's why Trackmania works. I thought I had fun grinding through Wrath of the Lich King, but it turns out I was just having fun talking and hanging out with people. So I stopped grinding and just hung out more. A little grind doesn't hurt, but it's often so bad that it sucks the fun out of the game. If you force a grind mechanic in a game that's not inherently about grinding, you're making the game bad/worse. I would also argue that grind is not keeping attention, the dot on the horizon is. Grind is just a tool to get there.
@@bernardkuiper1496 I disagree with half of what you said and agree with the other half. All those things *are* grind. You may perceive it differently because of subjective preferences and priorities, but in both cases you are doing something repetitive for a prolonged period of time with a certain goal. Not everybody enjoys the same tasks and that is fine, but both are grinds. One is not inherently better than the other, it simply depends on what goals you desire more. The carrot and the stick. So i definitely agree it`s about the goal in the end, but whether people enjoy the journey there is subjective. That said, im by no means saying all grind is good. That's kinda the point. The idea of grinding is good, *necessary* even to keep people entertained for prolonged amounts of time. The *implementation* is often bad tho, especially in MMOs. I havent been enjoying MMOs in 20 or so years (now i feel old), and i tend to stay away from them nowadays, even if they look good. Well implemented grind feels rewarding. If you feel like you are wasting your time, the grind is simply not implemented well (or not for you). That is the entire point. In the end it is the effort we put into achieving something we remember (usually in a positive way). Imagine you are just outright unbeatable in a game. Every time you load up a track in trackmania you get an unbeatable world record. The result doesnt matter. That others think you are the most amazing player ever doesnt matter. To you, these records are meaningless. You will become bored of the game very quickly. The same is true if every goal in any kind of game is achieved immediately. The antithesis to this is.. grind. So yes, it is about reaching the goal, but the goal itself *is not* what keeps your attention. The journey there is. There being a journes to those things is important. Effort is important. As the saying goes, it's not about the destination, it's about the journey. But again, im not saying that just prolonging everything you have to do is a good thing. That's an example of bad grind, often employed in MMOs. Good grind feels inherently rewarding. It makes achieving the goal feel worth the effort. I've been through my fair share of horrible grinds, but also fantastic ones. In the end i agree that it's about hanging out with friends tho, but that's probably subjective too. Just to make this one point clear; im not saying every game needs grind, or that a game cant be good without any form of grind. It just wont keep player attention for too long. And for certain games that's fine. While i personally dont, some people enjoy story focussed games. There wont be a lot of grinding in most of those, but they can still be good for their target audience. This is not about adding grind to games that are not about grinding. Im arguing that any game that is good and able to keep player attention for a prolonged period of time *already is* doing so by employing some form of grinding. Grind is what keeps player attention. It is necessary even, since developers cant develop content as fast as people will consume it. If people have nothing to do anymore, they quit. And again, for some types of games that's fine. But *if* a game keeps the players attention for a prolonged period of time, then the players are grinding *something.* The bad kind of grind, which you usually only realise you didnt like in hindsight, is fomo based and usually implemented in MMOs, especially if they want to sell you shortcuts for money. That is not good grind. That is not even good game design.
how does this man keep his cool when he messes up over & over, I was kinda hunting tom rpg’s new haven, which has a 58 min AT & a 36 min WR & when I get on a good run that would be a huge pb & get stuck on it for a long time & loose my whole lead & some it is so hard to not just quit
Chat: don't rush it Wirt: I think you're an idiot AT run: "I'm too far behind, it's too much to risk" so he just drives it as best he can and gets it Weird how when you're just focused on doing what you do rather than getting your heart rate up by rushing, things go smoother.
Koffre, Tinetchtitlan, Teotewakhan, Black (Alaskan AAT/MIC Coverup theory 👽), That one mountain in Antarctica, Temple Mu (ancient legendary sunken pyramid), Monolithic pyramid discovered in Syberia recently, and I think there's one in China too. I can only think of 8 too lol. But those are in addition to the ones Wirty already mentioned
The Good Kid soundtrack is really starting to wear on me. Don't they have instrumental tracks you can use instead? I like the band don't get me wrong, but his voice is way too piercing to be background music
Same honestly, it being good music doesn't change that it's distracting from the video and anything else you'd be doing. But even the non-vocal songs are a bit too loud
Imagine a track like this but like a bit longer… and maybe in vertical form of a tower. Oh and maybe without checkpoints! Now that would be a cool track… someone should try that!
Wirtual, what is your take on the thought of a hydraulic press back in the day to lift the stones? Like cylinders filled with some sap or liquid that flows well and just some elefants on a press making the pressure to push the stones up saw something like this the other day and was wondering how it could be doable
People are coming up with the weirdest things when it comes to pyramids. Not only did they use copper tools for a few thousand years, the Greeks also learned from them about geometry and physics. Trust me, they did the math.
If I could better understand what she's singing, searching for the lyrics would be the most promising. It's definitely not in his usual playlist, as far as I can tell. Good luck on the search tho. Let me know if you found it.
Hey, for the first time in years i bought the club access to play more than 10 maps and got absolutely demotivated by the author times but i really want to learn ! i just dont have a feeling for the car and dont know when and how to drift properly or initiate slides or idk. are there any nice clubs/courses that explain each trick like " quantum slide" in its basics and have maps taht get harder and harder so i can say in the end i can quantum slide when i got author medal on all of the maps?

To be fair, one shotting every checkpoint would be 3 minutes faster than AT, so there definitely is more room for error.

He calls the turtle part the hardest but he most often fails at the end right after and the ice pipes 🤣

turns out the stop rushing guy was right all along
lol was at this stream, he got it surprisingly fast for a map like this
I love hearing Good Kid in the wild😂
I could try this map 40 hours a week for a year and would never even beat it. It's crazy how good the best players are.
