California, USANo, PCSX-R has since been tested and found to not be sufficiently accurate, it's way worse than every legal emu
Just wanted to throw out there again that I still really want to be able to organize my followed games, they're a mess right now. At first I thought they were ordered by release date but I just followed a new game and found out that they're actually placed in the order you follow them, but since they didn't used to track follow date they just did it by release date all the ones you already followed at the start of the new site. So a temporary solution is to unfollow everything and then refollow them in the order you want them listed. This is annoying though and it should really just be built into the site.
I've been writing most of my feedback by spamming support tickets because the forums were broken for me at launch, but I see they've been fixed so summarizing here:
- I originally thought this redesign was made with mobile in mind (everything is way too large to have possibly been designed as a desktop site), so to test my theory I went on my phone and the site barely works there. Load times are terrible, text regularly trails offscreen, columns are out of order and take up full rows when I have to assume that's not intended, notifications are hidden, etc.
- Everyone has already mentioned this in this thread but not every game fits in a neat 9:16 box.
- This has also been mentioned but there's zero reason to scrap Recent Runs. There's literally a hole where it used to be in the sidebar.
- I've been told that other people have had this for a while but I'm now getting "recommended categories" on my homepage which is wild and absolutely not something anyone asked for.
- The dropdown arrow for miscellaneous categories was retained from the previous redesign. I complained about it then, so I'll complain about it again now: I've seen so many people that had no idea this was hiding categories. New users do not get what this is for, and categories that deserve eyes are being functionally hidden from people as a result.
- This is relatively minor but the fact that a lot of the new elements are just locked on black and red is pretty annoying, previously the game themes were really solid with how much you could customize and now that's much more limited because you have to match the forced elements.
Sidenote, not really a complaint because I know the site needs to make money but it's funny how every redesign makes the boost button bigger and more saturated. Expecting it to start flashing on the next redesign.
EDIT because I forgot two:
- The Games dropdown at the top of the site is no longer sortable. Before, you could customize the game order, and this is no longer the case, which makes no sense particularly because only I can see it so I should be able to choose how it looks for me.
- There's no way to see run count by game on a series page anymore, as far as I can tell. Before, when you sorted the games of a series by total players, it would actually say the total player count under each game. Now, no matter how you sort, it just says the active player count. This also means that you can't see release dates, or when games were added to srcom, or even the full names of games with long titles.
2/10 at launch, 4/10 after the bug fixes I've seen so far, no idea why they did zero testing. Let people opt in to a beta version of the site, many people will do it for free! Bizarre decision-making.
Closest thing that exists to this is 40 Orb No DJ. You can find that here: https://www.speedrun.com/spyroce?h=Spyro_2_Riptos_Rage-40_Orb_No_DJ&x=xk9ee062-ql675rj8.gq7j4dpq
As mentioned above, glitchless any% and 14 Talisman are the exact same thing as glitchless 40 Orb so you wouldn't actually get anything new out of that.
As always it's important to remember that you can choose to run whatever you want even if it isn't on the boards. Things tend to get added after demand is demonstrated rather than by request.
