Nostalgia demos [-complevel 2]

If you wanted your demos going to DSDA, then you need to put each of these files separately into a .zip file with a corresponding .txt file, and name them properly instead of just a random name with your attempt number. Then attach each of those runs using Doomworld attachment instead of a google drive address. For formats, refer to all other demos in this thread because they are all doing a good job following what's supposed to do to upload a demo.

Thanks.

Ah, sorry. I wasn’t intending any of these to go to dsda, since as mentioned they are far from optimal. I thought they might just be if interest to others. Thanks for the note.

That's fine, this forum is perfectly acceptable for all demos, regardless of whether they are intended for DSDA or not. :) Placing them on separate hosting or excluding a textfile are both acceptable ways to avoid them getting automatically picked up, so that works for this case. However, it's still a good idea to add a small note to the post that they are not for DSDA; while I don't check for that in my upload scripts, it'll let DSDA team members know that your demos aren't meant for there anyway, so you won't be contacted to update the format of your post. Otherwise, by default, it's assumed any post in this subforum is intended for DSDA submission.

Oh, I thought that was self-deprecation or something because I always said that as well lol

Besides what 4shock says, if you put some effort into it, I think there's no shame that the demos are not optimized or whatever since not everybody has the same amount of time to do speedruns. I sometimes (or most of the time back in a few years) post not very good demos to the archive too, and I just want some memories of those after I invested my time into doing a demo. Maybe one day you're going to do some runs, and it's rather interesting to look at some of these old memories, heh.

dsda is an archive, think about how someone 10 years from now would want to see the evolution of the runs. :) Consider changing your mind (I wouldnt mind helping with the demo names and txts if you'd like)
