Project

Currently, I have two projects:

  • Draw one picture that includes some famous speedrunner in speedrun.com and
  • Make a complete guideline on how to survive in speedrun community (?). For example, some frequently asked questions that a lot of people do not want to keep explaining to beginner to the speedrun community. For the former, I want to get some suggestions on who I can include in the drawing. For the latter, I want to see what kind of content I can make.

@SkittlesCat83 the word "survive" here may suggest otherwise.

Edit: just wanna say that he doesn’t mod farm. There is no real evidence that suggests he does.

I think they mean speedrunners who’ve achieved something that was very hard to get like @Niftski

Pretty much. From the regular forum users, I would say barely anyone qualifies. We do have some active members who did contribute a lot to game communities or are nice persons in general. I did contribute also a lot to game communities, I routed and glitchhunted a lot of games, but I still do not qualify here at all. Simple as that. I guess I at least go outside to events, touch grass and help organize some actual speedrun events IRL. @Riekelt is one of the people that jumps to my head of nice people that is also active. But ye, I think we all do not really qualify.

Not trying to say that forum posters are famous btw, if you want someone famous to draw just go to any active game and draw the wr holder for its main category or something.

SRC is a place full of communities, but the actual SRC community is small and it's the people who use the Discord and forums, I think

eh i used to be recognized as "OMG IS THAT THE TRUE KILLEDRAGON!?!?!?!?" by some of the most important SMB1 speedrunners for my work in the forums at criticating everything or something people ever unsuccesfully tried to plagarize me in those forums, and didnt even submitted a run there for that point (maybe some in ce but idk when was what)

ofc that's just personal experience

i am a great guy i know
