EnglandYou have no rejected runs on record. You just goofed the data entry and it wasn't caught before it went live.
"Run Obsolete" is not a thing mods can mark runs as. We can't do that. The website sorts that out automatically.
Alas, no because it's an NG+ option.
I'd love to use the NG+ options because for some reason Walk/Run Reverse is an NG+ option but NG+ stuff isn't allowed in NG. Even owning unlockables (you will get one) in NG+ changes up the menu in NG.
he just runs in the direction you point the stick, there's no quick turn, just movement
I counter your question with another question,
why have you, upon looking at a site that tracks its records in purely time-based notation, decided "this seems like an excellent place to put my numbers that don't at all fit into that formatting"?
you're not supposed to use it like that, it's not built to handle it
I think so and I base this purely on the merit that PS2 and PSP IGTs aren't like 20-30 minutes apart as they would otherwise be if it did count louds because PS2 really does just load that much.
My testing isn't very scientific.
if you're gonna do all time attacks you may as well time it IGT, if you're timing it RTA you might as well just run the full game at that point
[quote]I mean, it's not like if someone self-verifies something illegitimate, the run is forever set in stone, and no one is capable of touching or fixing anything.[/quote]
True say tbh.
like I actually can't think of a time when a malicious run has actually been just pushed to live with self-verification, 99% of the time it's just some mundane data entry screwup or whatever and then someone fixes it when noticed and everyone gets on with their lives. It really doesn't strike me as an especially pressing issue.
don't get me wrong it's probably better to not self-verify if you can help it at all but I'm hard pressed to think it has caused serious harm.
i like how this thread spawned a huge discussion about self-verification from a totally correct verification and someone just not knowing how Resi IGT works lol
Just saying that I'm like, the active supermod for Freedom Planet and I'm here to back up revolucion's post. The dude's gone totally AWOL for the past like half a year and attempts to reach him have met total silence. It's not really an urgent matter so much as just housekeeping but yeah.
Do we actually have a specific moderation issue that needs tackling or are we just going to explain why we don't like each other? Because I'm totally uninterested in repeating the latter in yet another thread and I think the actual moderation issue got resolved pretty much immediately.
Like ordinarily I'd just let the thread go normally but people, including some who don't even run this game and appear to just be sockpuppeting seem really keen to pointlessly stoke bickering and I'd quite like to not have that on the forum, thanks.
If there's an actual problem to stay on target about, then we can continue. But if we're just going to keep hurling insults with no actual direction or solution to be sought, then I think this thread has just about run its course.
[quote]However I have personally seen one of you guys say that Resident Evil 7 Runners are human garbage... That doesn't give much Merit to the fact that you might want to hang out with us and be involved.[/quote]
I don't really know why you feel the need to say "one of you guys". It was me, I said that. I wrote an angry tweet once following a lot of explicit personal harassment from the RE7 community (seriously context is everything) and it's true I don't think especially highly of anyone who defends/participated in that garbage but I can probably get over it for long enough to go faster. Or at the very least I can just harbor a resentful grudge while learning new stuff anyway.
I'm only going to reply to a couple of things in Prawnik's post because it's a bad post by someone who doesn't even seem to run the game but:
[quote]A SERIOUS STREAMER, STREAMING IS A SERIOUS BUSINESS[/quote]
It's literally his job. That is his livelihood. No shit he doesn't like people deliberately attempting to fuck up his primary source of income with drama. That has an adverse affect on his ability to feed himself. You really don't seem to appreciate that perspective at all. I'm not a career streamer but you do not fuck with someone's livelihood knowingly, that's pretty heinous.
[quote]rather than saying "Oh, BUT HE COULD potentially charge the cash back".[/quote]
No, again mate, peril of the job. If you get a suspicious donation from anyone, you fling that shit the fuck back. PayPal and basically anything that handles money (like, ya know, banks) really really hate chargebacks and will fuck you under the table if you get too many. This can include losing access to your money entirely under the grounds of they now think you're too dodgy to handle money for. This is really fucking bad if you literally rely on that income to survive. It is very very not hard to understand why that would also be taken very seriously for someone who's job is literally streaming.
Like of all the things you could nail Carci for you started with "cares about having rent money".
[quote]Get a discord server ruled by decent people without ego issues and with a sense of humour.[/quote]
I didn't ban him. I can't ban him, I literally don't have that power in the RE discord.
[quote]thus it is rational for him to apologise for all that has happened so far. Because one wrong move and his power might be gone.[/quote]
he has the exact same power as me wtf I'm not a supermod or a series mod
but seriously you're now attempting to twist his words to fit your own viewpoint against someone else, which is bizarrely shitty and kind of demeaning to zgl? Like you're now accusing him of lying out of fear to keep mod. Which is not what he's doing at all? We want him to be a mod, we pretty much unanimously think it's a good idea even while he was calling for our removal. And it is a good idea, why the fuck would we kick him out after such rapid agreement?
yeah for attempting to troll lol, this was actually totally unrelated to RE7 as well, it was about something else entirely
just because you're good at a game doesn't mean you get a pass on acting like a tit
edit: although just so we're super clear, i didn't ban him because I don't even have that ability
i mean the regular RE discord has two dedicated RE7 channels that nobody uses
like if you're trying to avoid specific people that's fine, but I don't get the complaint that they're not interacting with you if you're avoiding them successfully
[quote]would you REALLY have wanted to be a part of it anyways?[/quote]
it's not disrespectful at all, but it is sort of missing the point
As for joining, ehhhhh. Maybe? Like, very maybe. Like it'd be awkward as fuck but if I ever return to The Grind I would quite like to know where strats are at. But that's not really the point, which is that the criticism is sort of a weird point to level at the mods when no effort has really been made to communicate it to us.
[quote]We arent hard people to find if you wanted to be a part of what we are doing.[/quote]
True, but I can't even begin to have that line of thought if I've literally got no idea it even exists.
I have pretty much just let it go, like don't get me wrong I still don't forgive any of the people involved nor do I even remotely buy the explanation, rationale or excuses, but I have no desire to escalate further and not liking people doesn't really matter for my purposes. The board still runs smoothly, so I'm not sure what the malfunction is.
This entire thread kind of feels largely unnecessary since I got chucked under the bus, my motivations for inaction questioned with bizarrely intense scrutiny and assumed to be the harshest things possible (assume stupidity before malice is a very good adage for a reason) and we pretty much all readily agreed that zgl would be a good fit for the moderation team. I reckon literally all he'd have to have done was just ask one of us, but nobody made that effort instead preferring this huge callout thread where the basis for it was largely unfounded and full of attempts at rationalising past shitty behavior. What's the point? We're a bit past that now, surely, I'm not sure who's mind you're attempting to change?
if this thread is just going to devolve into Psar and Carci explaining why they don't like each other and why they'd prefer to avoid each other then who gives a fuck, mods aren't under any obligation to like anyone in particular and neither are the runners and there's otherwise no specific moderation issue that actually needs resolving?
To change gears to something else I noticed while attempting to decipher posts, I'm given to understand there's some sort of alternate RE7 discord or something that ya'll have congregated in? I'm not sure if I understand this properly, but if so, it's not exactly the brightest move to move all the runners to an alternate channel, not actually tell or notify any one of the mods and then complain that they're not part of the community? Like, don't get me wrong we're not under any obligation to join any server anyway, but it's a hell of a lot harder if we literally don't even know it exists at all.
the reason Psarthex's run was ignored for that long was not a personal grudge in my case, but purely that 100% is kind of tedious to verify? Like, it's a lot stupider than a personal grudge I just kind of procrastinated on it and wanted to play Silent Hill 3 a lot instead. Sorry, I kind of just quietly kept hoping someone else would do it.
the explanation is a lot stupider than a personal grudge, it's just specifically that category is a bit annoying to verify because of how the counters work so I kept putting it off. It still only took like, a week to get verified.
I'm kinda surprised anyone thinks it's a personal grudge? Psarthex got absolutely everything else submitted verified even when he learned absolutely nothing from the last thread and continued to include shitty pointless potshots at me in his layouts and on Discord and stuff and I kind of just, let it go? It's actually almost funny that the instant I slip up and get a wee bit procastinaty with my modding stuff, the immediate conclusion is that I'm holding beef and should be removed, that's a little weird considering I've otherwise just kinda eaten it.
That being said, it is kind of true that it's not fantastic that if I decide to do basically anything else besides verify everything then stuff just doesn't wind up being verified at all. We do have a handful of mods that basically do jack so adding new ones is a fine idea. Hell, the entire reason I joined in the first place was run verification was intolerably, interminably slow and I hated it. I'm satisfied that I keep things moving, but I'm not perfect and I have lazy days or I get sick or am unavailable and stuff so it's probably not fantastic that the bulk of verification runs on my whims. Add zgl imo. He seems cool.
The problem is not just loads, games actually do run at different speeds on PSP/PSTV sometimes depending on a bunch of stupid arcane factors that aren't well understood and vary drastically from game to game. Run some tests and compare some footage, you might be surprised, you might not be.
I have no stake in this discussion whatsoever, I just thought you ought to know.
[quote]forced me to pause and restart my stream (I use Twitch to basically record my runs). That would mean that I wouldn't be able to use those as a run, I assume?[/quote]
Under most circumstances yes, because it becomes somewhat difficult to check that the two segments are actually part of the same run at that point.
This is the sort of thing we allow on a case by case kind of basis, if your time is like, approaching the upper-end of times then we get increasingly less and less tolerant of missing footage and breaks. An IL is too short to allow any missing footage whatsoever, for instance. If your time is on the lower-end and the cut is only a few seconds long, then it can still be verified. If the cut is extremely large and is missing several minutes or an entire level or even just a crucial bit needed for run verification (i.e a stage result screen or the end run time) then it'll be rejected.
Unbroken, complete video footage is strongly preferred and is way less risky.
[quote]Is it okay, then, to edit my videos together and put that fact in my description?[/quote]
I guess that'd be fine? It doesn't really make a difference either way. Again, it's the sort of thing we'd handle case-by-case.
[quote](I use Twitch to basically record my runs)[/quote]
This is basically asking to lose chunks of footage to the aether. PS4 streaming to twitch is incredibly unreliable.
[quote]Oh, the wonders of PS4 video recording.[/quote]
PS4 video recording is actually very good! PS4 has a thing where it can locally record up to hour long chunks of video footage without you even really having to do anything. This means you should be able to completely record ILs just fine and provided your run is under an hour real-time, means you can fit a complete single-segment run into that as well. There isn't really a compelling reason to have breaks in your footage on PS4, the system itself can be made to do it.
(Admittedly, getting a run under an hour of real time entails having somewhere within the ballpark of like, roughly a sub-50 IGT? Which is not necessarily easy but also certainly not an absurd goal. It also provides an extremely convenient cut-off point for where we're likely to start getting harsh about missing footage.)
Short answer: Nobody will really mind much if the cut isn't like massively egregious and the time is on the lower-end of the scale. But as your times get better we will likely start asking for full evidence. ILs can't have any missing bits whatsoever.
