Maryland, USAHey, just wanted to share that I made a command-line based speedrunning timer. It can handle current LiveSplit files and uploads/downloads from splits.io
Hey all,
I'm organizing a new marathon series: Gamegoyles. It is a charity marathon, with all proceeds for this event going towards Trans Student Educational Resources. Submissions open in two days, and the marathon is July 23-25.
All info and links are here: https://gamegoyles.org/
I have a created a new Discord bot named Bracketeer. Essentially, it allows you to run tournaments in your Discord server (similar to Challonge).
Details of what it does and how to interface with it are here (in addition to the invite code): https://slashinfty.github.io/bracketeer/
One of my bots uses this query to find recently verified speedruns:
It queries every minute. However, over the past few days, the results have been inconsistent. Example:
At 10:02, run A is the most recent run (first run returned, because orderby=verify-date). At 10:05, run B is the most recent run, which has a date that is earlier than run A (in fact, run A can not be found in the query results). At 10:06, run A is the most recent run again.
Since I'm using the verify-time to determine if there are new runs to process, the result is runs being "new" multiple times over the course of 5-10 minutes and being repeated.
Any sort of idea why this might be happening? It only started a few days ago.
Evening/Morning all,
The practice ROM is a nice, new tool. It's great for practice. However, it is not valid for submissions (mainly IL submissions - no one has tried to submit the full game on the practice ROM). Rules will be updated to reflect this soon.
Thanks!
Me and xenkaroshi put together a spreadsheet that organizes GB games into categories based on run time, in case you want to get into GB speedrunning, but aren't sure what game to play.

Since this is a GB game, can GB/SGB2/GBP be added as platforms? GBC as the only one doesn't make sense.
Since this is a GB game, can GB, GBP, and SGB2 be added as platforms? GBC as the only one doesn't make much sense.
As this is a GB game, can GB, GBP, and SGB2 be added as valid platforms? GBC as the only one doesn't make a lot of sense.

Being a GB game, can GB, GBP, and SGB2 be added as platforms? Having only GBC doesn't make much sense.
Since the Game Boy version is an actual Game Boy game, can GB, GBP, and SGB2 be added as valid platforms? At least GB. Having GBC doesn't make much sense.
Since this is a GB game, can GB, GBP, and SGB2 be added as valid platforms? GBA as the only one doesn't make a lot of sense.

Since this is a GB game, can the platforms GB, GBP, and SGB2 be added as a valid platforms? Having GBC only doesn't make a lot of sense.
Since there is a GB version, can GB (and GBP and SGB2) be added as valid platforms? Having only GBC doesn't make sense (especially since if you filter by GB on the series page, you don't see this game).
Thanks.
Having GBC as the sole platform for a GB game doesn't make much sense. Can GB, GBP, and SGB2 be added? Thanks.
Having only GBC doesn't make any sense for a GB game. Can you add GB, SGB2, and GBP?
Thanks.
I wanted to share my method of verifying runs. It involves downloading videos from YouTube or Twitch (in 720p60 if it exists, otherwise 360p), then having the framerate and current frame number printed on each frame of the video. Then it's a matter of using frame advance in a video player to pinpoint the exact frames for start and end.

This is written for Linux by default, but I have instructions for Windows in a comment on there.
