[quote]The one case I can kinda understand it for, is if you've run something you don't want to admit you've run. I'm shameless in this regard and I'll totally own it, but I get it if you don't want say, HuniePop, on your profile. [/quote]
if people want to run one of the 5 combined eroge that somehow slipped their way onto the site, they deserve the ability to use an alt.
Someone needs to advocate for the obvious troll accounts.
If you're referring to full game runs, Speedrun mode is functionally Advanced mode without the ability to change difficulties, so I figured it'd be best to allow difficulty to be changed in the Adventure/Quest modes and not segregate them.
If you're referencing ILs, w/ the exception of a handful of levels the difficulties don't make enough of a difference to justify a category split. Relaxed Mode already makes the current Checkpoint vs No Checkpoint split useless, and I'm considering removing the split there too.
I think its a DID thing where people refer to themselves as a collection of their identities, using plural pronouns (We/Us).
To be fair to Elo, the 13 year olds they're legally allowed to collect data on are REALLY into anime porn, which is why they advertise it.
Brave makes speedrun.com usable on mobile, because whoever signed off on the ads didn't think about people actually using the website.
It depends on the country for the legality of rom hacks, but sr.c doesn't host commercial game rom distribution so they're legally in the clear.
There's even an entire News section of the site that hasn't been used for anything important in months that would be great for this purpose.
While hunting for bugs/changes in video games is fun, its significantly less fun to do that on a website w/o knowledge anything has changed.
[quote] And generally a lot of the things you guys are asking for are extremely minor. Would following a person on the site be really cool? Absolutely. But wouldn't you rather the site be more functional and available for users and game moderators before we do cosmetic stuff that would be cool but is overall useless in actually keeping a database for speedruns? [/quote]
I mean, "minor features that would be p cool but are useless in actually keeping a database for speedruns" basically defines everything the average end user would notice about the site's changes in the past 9 months (not counting the obvi negative changes). Things like being able to set pronouns, opening up donator perks to all, adding a barebones articles section, etc. aren't really at all required for a speedrunning database.
The mod tools were talked about in detail on the same news post that they started rolling out ads and replacing the stickied forums with the support hub, and there's not been an official site update since (unless you count news related to that banner I wish would go away).
I agree some people are too hard on elo, but at the same time, the ire is 100% earned.
Turbo aside, I'm not sure how significantly faster having all the buttons on one place makes you when compared to having the L/R buttons on your fingers.
On pc, it p much has no effect since keyboard controls give you the same input style by default. Obvi turbo would ban it in most communities.
It's arbitrary, but it also doesn't affect me so I don't have an opinion lmao.
I don't quite know what you're asking there, @hahhah42. Every variable is required to have a default.
Yep, all the variables are filled out on all the runs. Checked those initially, and just double checked them again. The only consistently empty field in the missing runs are the splits i/o links, which are also missing in runs that do show up on the board so I can't imagine that's relevant.
