super tux while that is a nice thought, you cannot simply fall behind the seams into loading zones. i think abear is falling for this same misconception by thinking one could skip bowser on the inside of the castle. you MUST open the door to load the next area. this exists for all key doors (otherwise you could just skip first 2 bowsers and go upstairs). the same exists for outside the castle. TAS clips into moat (a non-door loading zone), stores a hell of a lot of speed, then aquires precise positions when mario leaves the water to clip himself through the water at a precise enough angle to interact with the door before interacting with the water.

It is not a matter of if, its a matter of how. unless someone founds a fundamental mechanic or position that the TASers missed, it is not possible under current means, end of story. If you really really want to find a method, you need to learn to TAS first, as that is the only possible skill set that could help you bridge the gap and find something entirely new. glhf

I think mods are gone lol

Hello friends. I am looking to speedrun Dont Starve, have a bit of experience with both the game and speedrunning. So I had some thoughts. First I wanted to ask for Hamlet to be added to the leaderboards, same categories within it. Second I think itd be best to consolidated the (potentially) four different updates into the same speedrun page. Itd be quite easy to do, could preserve the same categories, and make it easier for new players to join and understand it. I think right now anyone that is interested is spread thin amoungst the games. Hope you are all doing well.

it isn't super common, but some people don't run with timers at all.

In general speedrunning is an activity you can do however you want in any way you want. As long as you are honest about what you are doing and aware of what leader boards will accept them. The only problem comes when people lie about what they are doing and submit things that would obviously break the rules. So I agree with those above, run it however you want, as long as you are aware of when and why you shouldn't submit them.

I never run 1.6 in full screen, I have similar problems and it crashes my graphics card for some reason, so sometimes after I full screen my OBS interface is really glitched. I would highly recommend just running it in as high a resolution as you want, but do not use full screen.
