Washington, USAI have a run I need to verify ->
Ordinarily I wouldn't worry too much about it - I tend not to be too bothered if timing is "only 99.9999% accurate" - but the reported time for this run would be a 1 second WR over a run I added a second to myself in verification, because my retiming showed that to be correct. So I really really need this run to be timed with perfect precision. My retime tool can do that, but only with YouTube videos. When it's been necessary, I've also leeched twitch recordings to (temporarily) upload them to YouTube myself, so my retime tool will function (at which I delete them from my account).
The problem here is I have no idea what any of the buttons on this website do. If there's an option to download the recording, that would be ideal. I have reached out to the runner about this (they're in our Discord), but they speak minimal English (they've mentioned putting others' Discord messages through a translator on their end), so I might need additional help with this one if at all possible.
And yeah, I've always thought a user-definable text box would be perfect. Would accommodate neopronouns or multiples, it would make it crystal clear who's just an asshole and can safely be ignored if they put "Attack/Helicopter" or some shit in there. The only argument against it I've ever seen is "it might get misused/abused" which you can say about literally anything.
Excellent question @Saradoc. Just when will all this "showing basic human decency and common courtesy to other people" stop. Definitely WAY too much of that going around!
While this is clearly a trolling post, adding an option for multiples probably wouldn't be the hardest thing. There was a runner during Frame Fatales who had "they (plural)" onscreen as their pronoun. Seems easy enough.
It's very likely, but let us play the dang thing first :P It just came out today. Keep in mind that "how" is just as important as "if." What will the category look like? We need to figure that out, and it's gonna take a little time.
Submissions nominally close the 24th, but the pool's pretty shallow so I'd probably accept late submissions too :D Please get them in!!
Imagine being a new runner finding this board. There's no proof of the WR. It, in a very real sense, does no longer exist.
So I'm coming back to one of my old games, it's a board I inherited from inactive mods in fact, and lo and behold both the first place and second place runs are now dead links. Both runners appear to have deleted all their VOD's. One video was YouTube, one was twitch, and both accounts are cleared out (not deleted, but emptied).
I'd ordinarily be in favour of nuking such runs, but I saw both of these runs (hell, I verified the second place run myself). I know for a fact they existed. They just don't anymore. I don't honestly know if it's right for the leaderboard to continue to list them though.
Also, feel free to ask questions in your native language. This is a site with a worldwide userbase, there'll be someone here who speaks your language :)
I can't open your link, but....don't refer to speedrunning as cheating, please.
lmao Twin Galaxies and SDA. And you call this site "dying" ?
Yup. Personally, I think a 100% run or a glitchless run or whatever absolutely can be an any% run. You should have a reason for submitting to both categories (i.e. - and yes this has actually happened - it's rekky for both categories). If any% is 20 minutes and 100% or glitchless are 4 hours, maybe don't submit that to the any% category? But it definitely shouldn't be blanket disallowed, even though same games do.

Yeah we shouldnt bully them over every single message they send, but there is plenty reason to not be happy with them. From my perspective they acquired the site out of commercial interest and not because they have any care for speedrunning. Most of the staff dont even speedrun. Atleast Pac was a member of one of the oldest speedrunning communities out there lol[/quote]
100% of Pac's reason for having the site too.
Estuviste un poco tarde. El evento se acabó hace unas horas.
What was the exact title of that one Barney game everybody at ESA one year ran for shits and giggles?
Sure. But it shouldn't be necessary.
A few days ago, I put in a platform request for this, and it's now been approved. This affects a lot more than just my games, so I figured a public mention would be a good idea. It's maybe a bit wordy :P but with many PS4 games getting proper PS5 releases (Death Stranding, Control, Ghost of Tsushima, FF7 Remake, not to mention several from around launch like SpiderMan Miles Morales and Immortals Fenyx Rising), this allows for distinction between runs of the PS4 version done on a PS5, and runs of the actual PS5 version.
Use at your liberty. Just wanted you all to know it's there :)
