Hong KongTrust me, it becomes so weird without it. If you really need it, you can do it yourself and the replay code will be presumably working as intended.
Interesting. Does annoy me sometimes as well when in a bad mood. I would say you can, since I can use the replay code anyways (and I don't think the particles effect disturbs that right? don't have a rich knowledge on that)
I'd say still no. The actual minimum apple number is probably scouted out already, but it's still tideous, notwithstanding its speedrunability. Leave it as a challenge first.
9/3/24 - 21'200'' to 21'300'' due to 2.2 cheese patch.
9/3/24 - 23'500'' to 23'600'' due to 2.2 cheese patch.
I, honestly, do not have the time nor the ability to care lol, so if you tag me then I'll respond, of course.
One thing tho, I also won't care about my run's status or anything lol, so... here's my recommendation - for moderators, you can time any% runs now by manually adding up all times in a completed standard run~ that would, I hope, make everyone happy that my crown that's undermined by controversies transferred to someone who deserves it better than me (aii), and also makes future timing more fair, in a way.
Oh and, yeah I don't care about that number one spot anymore after it's there. All I'm saying is if the truth is really so that they're faster... yeah.
Keep in mind - 12.96 isn't easily achieved either. It depends on how fast you go through the menu. Even if every individual level being fully optimised, if you don't go through the menu transitioning fast enough, it's still going to be slower than some runs.
With that stated, just another thing to help people get faster times - exterior autoclickers could slow this down due to lag, it's best to either do it manually or package it.
And if the timer, for some reason, livesplits isn't trustworthy, the weirdest proving method is by 'timing the timer'. With that said, we all need to acknowledge that livesplits timing method is janky and has two modes - in-game and real-time, which is also what happens to be a speedrun.com selection thing. That's another thing, hope this helps (and maybe helps future speedrunners achieve faster times)
Again, cheese is diffferent from shortcut.
L5 in Appel, it doesn't make it easier to beat with sidejumping, only makes it faster.
The purpose for L17 is to challenge skilled players, if it's 'beaten' with the cheese... it makes the challenge way easier.
And yes, I will update the game very very soon in the coming week or two to fix it, along with 2.2.
Completely understand, and not like I haven't thought about it. As a game developer and leaderboard manager, I'm just trying to beautify all levels and make them display in their best form, and the act of deliberately leaving the 'cheesable' level on the platform, even separately from what I would've wanted to show in the first place, just goes against myself. As of today, no one else did Key To Success in the way I wanted, as such unintended cheese goes along.
For Radiation, Sir_Farcelot has discovered huge shortcuts,, I'm most in awe, but it managed to get through the verification with ease. The reason is really just because those shortcuts aren't 'cheese' but 'speedrunning strategies'. Those are without a doubt unintended, but also not anything that can be accomplished to skip through sections of the intended paths. The same goes for the consecutive sidejumpings in Collapsing - It's inconsistent, it's harder to pull off, and the original pathway is not hard in any shape or form, and the reason people do that is simply that it saves time. Stuff like this allows for speedrunning, and that's honestly what I would love to discover by this leaderboard.
Cheesing is another thing. When you go through an entire level even without the key I wanted you to have, I just wanted that not to happen - ever wondered if all these could arise if this issue never arises in the first place...
At the end of the day, as a creator myself, keeping two of the same levels, one of which is just not what the difficulty scaling intended and deliberately kept just for speedrunning, and the other of which is just left theie, isolated because of the general lack of skill. That's not what I wanted to see.
As contradicting as this could be, and perhaps I should value player enjoyment over the actuality of my 'personal' intentions as a small content creator, I don't think everything I do should revolve around viewer experience because of such low status of the general speedrunning community doesn't do things like this.
Do not worry, the levels wouldn't just get harder and harder, making the speedrunning community non-expandable. Hang in there for some time, I'll make sure this podium gets the attraction it could've gotten.
Lol. Just wanted make things clear, I just want to prove something that I'm sure is right. Arguments only arise when I'm just decently sure about the truth~
No point in arguing, sorry about all of that. Please resubmit your run again so that I can reapprove it~
? it's the exact same ._. u can add up the individual times ~
Just smashed my table when I saw the run back up, shrieked in the middle of 3 in the morning.
I'm glad stuff is resolved. Yes, do acknowledge debating skills may not be as 'conclusive', but, I'm sure we're all just kids, and in society, debating skills is what determines your guilt in court. That's just how reality works.
Thanks to everyone, and I mean everyone, for sparing their time in this discussion, I have definitely learnt a lot.
Just realised one thing.
While I'm proving my heart out already...
Did speedy use any proof to prove his rebuttals are legit?
All he's saying is that 'once a cheater, always a cheater'. 'You have a big yt channel so everyone likes you', and such. It's as if after his first comment, no matter how much we fully decode it and solved everything by providing literal past speedruns and even using my time to record a proof (not to mention how busy I am right now, as u guys can't see any videos posted for like 3 weeks), I'm just so disappointed that after his first post, everything he says is just not conclusive or having any standpoint.
As if we were students that are trying so so hard to get the assignments done, and the teacher just crumbles them up without even looking at them carefully, and throws them at the bin, ignoring the existence, and saying that the students did not do an enough job.
Luis_sm, we need you to be judgemental on this. We need someone actually caring about one's future, we need someone who actually has basic thinking skills, we need someone to determine right and wrong and where thus moderator shall belong.
So let me get this straight - If you want someone to prove that their runs aren't TASed, do they have to make it consistently happen?
I've done all I could, I don't see anyone else having to do these proofs, I consider myself generous. speeeeeeedy is now just being ridiculous and setting up impossible goals for me such that my runs could never get up under one condition - where speeeedy is still a mod.
Other moderators, consider removing his moderation, if you agree, if not, I can't stop you.
I use Microsoft Edge to play through the packaged project (because a lot of people use chrome and it overloads the server, causing lag, whereas nobody used microsoft edge)
I'm pretty sure that everything I can prove and everything I had to prove is perfectly finished. So, I expect my run to be up back on the podium just like any other non-malicious runs. Thank you.
