Hello speedwalkers!

First of all, apologies for addressing this issue so slowly. I guess we took too much inspiration from the King, sorry about that. ( ^-^)

People have asked about the use of autoclickers and macros. The mod team – consisting of BasicallySquid and myself – has discussed the matter and we have come to the conclusion to allow both. The new rule states:

The use of autoclickers and macros is allowed to ensure runners do not risk the health of their hands, wrists, arms, etc.

Personally, I have suffered from chronic hand pain for several years so as a moderator on SRC I always try to keep the health of runners in mind when moderating a leaderboard. Since most speedruns of The Longing have several sections where repeated actions are necessary – for example reading books and playing the instrument – we decided to allow autoclickers and macros to ensure nobody needs to risk their health when speedrunning this game. Our hobby should be fun first and foremost and no world record is ever worth risking your health for.

Stay awesome!
