Last year I 100%'d this game as best as I could but I never could get this particular medal. Retroachievements also has this listed as impossible. I just stumbled across this subreddit and this seems like the kind of place to ask
Hey everyone, the Mercenaries Recompilation has brought more attention to the Mercenaries community than we ever thought possible. With this in mind we've decided to reissue bounties for speedrunning our favorite game!
For right now, speedrunning the game on the recomp will be accepted to the main leaderboards. This may change in the future as we learn more.
We have 3 different bounties at 3 different levels of difficulty
Easy: For the next 3 people to break the 40 minute barrier in any% we're offering $40. For those reasonably experienced in shooters we believe this could be achieved with less than 10 hours of practice
Hard: For the first person besides Escargot to beat the WR in Any%, ACC, 100%, or Golf%, we're offering $100
Different hard: For years the crown jewel of skips in Mercenaries has been finding out how to skip the prison sequence in the Ace of Spades mission. If anyone can figure out a way to skip the prison sequence in vanilla gameplay, you'll also win $100
We welcome everyone to join the Mercenaries speedrunning discord! For anyone who's interested in pursuing any of these bounties we're happy to help here https://discord.gg/BDKBujB
Top runner Escargot also has a speedrun tutorial series on YouTube: https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL09U9EA_KxCNCGC-9jZUn3mv7dZ9x7X1Y
I'm doing a rewatch of The Wire and I just finished watching this episode, this scene characterizes Frank so well. One detail I noticed is through most of the scene, the blinds' shadows are covering both Frank and Bruce. They're both covered until Bruce takes the money and Frank threatens him.
I feel like the cinematography is definitely telling us something as the viewer, but I can't figure out what. I feel like the shadows represent the characters feeling trapped or imprisoned. Frank being trapped in the past, longing for the good old days of the stevedores. I don't have a good theory for how Bruce would be trapped or why they let up on this angle near the end of the scene
I've been thinking of going on a guided expedition to Aconcagua, but this question has been bugging me. If one person can't make it to the top, does the whole group have to turn around?
Years ago when I was in therapy scho0l (Had to censor that word because the automod thought this was an advice post and wouldn't let me post this) I remember researching Therac-25 (if you don't know about it you should look it up, it was absolutely fascinating and horrifying at the same time). I came across a youtube video that recreated the Therac-25 console software. The person went through the software and went through the steps that led to the malfunction 54 error. Now that I've got a few years under my belt I'd love to watch that video again but I cannot find it for the life of me. Anyone got a link?
I know this is a very random question, can't say I've seen anything like this asked here before but this seems like the group that would remember something like this.
