Man it’s been a while since I’ve visited these forums.

I wanna try and bring back recapping the year on speedrun.com, but unlike 2021 (the last time I did this), I don’t really have an idea of where to start. Could y’all tell me notable things that happened in 2023 on src?

@Akuretaki got was the first person to get 10,000 world records

Thanks @Act_ but also.. My last year's wish for 2023 resolutions was accomplished. It was to obtain 20 000 runs.

4:54.631 achieved in Super Mario Bros by Niftski on September 6th

several big sm64 records

Forums are basically a promo for bots now

here's what I remember

January:

• red ball 5?

February:

• moist critical speedrun challenge

• pizza tower

March:

• no mistakes greensuigi 16 star wr

April:

• fixed "active players", was broken for the longest time

• itsmaximum toxic 2 speedrun challenge for $1k

May:

• Getting over it sub 1

• Famous minecraft wr found to be fake

June:

July:

August:

idk

Sepember:

• News posts are now makeable by all users

• Niftski stays tied with the tas into 8-4 smb1

October:

• consistent setup found for carpetless

November:

• 1:37 barrier broken in 120 star w/ carpetless strat

December:

• Kosmic makes a video saying 4:53 is possible

• src turns 10 years old (holy shit)

October -> now was the "Chronicles of Nasuper" chapter of SRC

I feel like nobody wants to remember that lol

who is Nasuper

Nasuper is pretty much a MatPat theory at this point

That guy after looking at the threads is a total nut job that didn’t learn that sometimes it’s ok to agree to disagree

Update: the video is fininished!

I would really have to say that the SM64 WR was something else. And, @Akuretaki getting 10,000 WR's was amazing and @VyPr interviewing him was amazing right there. Congratulations to both players.

by the way, if anyone wants a good rundown of the first half of the year, @Merl_ made a fantastic collection as the year went on but stopped in June because it became exhausting and because Twitter made various user-experience changes that made it very hard to keep up with, totally understandable, and I regret not helping more with it. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kQxoyn1jxgNc_VwkDKBMakd3Nopl6X3hRj_iS0F9rMo

Thanks @SpeedRunFan2022 indeed it was amazing year

@RaggedDan I remember Merl_ making a list like that last year. Didn't think that he would do it this year. Holy fuck that is unbelievable how much detail that goes in. There would be too many things in there that I would have had to not include in the final cut.
