Good catch, my comment was surrounding mandatory display of timer. Don’t care about stats. I swear I can read lol

Also am in favor of showing score screen despite moving toward loadless IGT.

Regarding the other comments around grenade cooking, I would double check that this doesn’t also extend to other throwables like mags. I haven’t run HD in a long time, and am not currently familiar with exactly how this is implemented.

• Retire Load Removed Realtime for PC platform and switch to IGT timing method: Yes --> IGT is bis.
• Allow change of IGT to be loadless: Yes --> Brings to parity with Substance PC.
• Require gameplay stats overlay: Yes for top 5 --> Same is required in Substance PC.
• Allow hostage easter egg spawn manipulation: Yes --> Allowed in Substance PC.
• Allow elevator glitch restoration: No --> This is SOL-specific and should stay so.
• Allow grenade cooking fix: Yes --> Restores intended functionality.
• Allow Solidus choking difficulty fix: No --> Turbo is allowed. Rawdogging is pure choice.
• Allow disable HD camera positioning: Abstain
• Allow to enable Snake Tales radar: No --> Why is this even here?

In my view, I don't think a ban on Emma zips is needed or warranted.

To name several issues in no particular order:

1. A ban has zero effect on non-competitive times
2. A ban artificially hamstrings those wishing to aim for competitive times in the future
3. A ban negatively affects the historical significance of the run and the glitch's use to date
4. A ban arguably makes competitive run attempts less engaging for viewers

Although using a specific OS to execute the glitch may be a pain in the ass, I see virtually no difference between OS idiosyncrasies and console differences.

If there are any significant race events/tournaments in the future, I think a ban on Emma zips for those particular events can be discussed ad-hoc for fairness and inclusion purposes.

tl;dr: Those that want to use it should. Those that don't shouldn't. Speedrun = Go Fast.

Speedrun = Go Fast

This does not modify the game in bad faith. It gets it working. Huge QOL improvement.

Hell, I may finally give this run a shot.

Legalize go fast. 42069 fuck yeah dude.

All good as long as people actually post runs, although I do love me a good meme run.
