Much apologies if anyone just got any notifications on here about their runs being verified! I just went and separated the subcategories for Any% and 22HH into separate variables in the back end of the leaderboard, which led to all the runs being taken off the leaderboard. I'm 90% reverified all the runs that were on the leaderboard, but if you see your run isn't on there please call it out here and I'll add it back on (assuming it wasn't rejected in the first place) The reason I've done this is so that now subcategories can be added that only apply to one particular run, for example adding a Collage Ending subcategory to Any%, as a run where you make only half the Habiticians happy wouldn't ever apply as a 22HH run.

I think that could be neat! Any% Best End saves 2 more people than Collage Ending, so it wouldn't be the same run I will say, I don't think the separate category needs to be "Glitchless?" I don't think anything done in the runs currently would be considered a glitch, although there definitely are some exploits lol I'll think about it over the next few days, if anyone else has any take on this I'd love to hear it!

I think the easiest thing would just be to like. Hit record on OBS, stop recording when you're done for the day or when you get a time you're submitting, then go into a video editor and crop out the part you're submitting

Unfortunately you can't, if you right click on Livesplit after opening it and go to "Edit Splits" you can type in the game that you'll be running, and after you select the game it'll tell you if there's an Auto Splitter available for it and who made it if there is one, otherwise it'll say "There is no Auto Splitter available for this game." and it says that for 2048. It might be technically possible to have one made in the future, but I doubt anyone would bother since you can just use the sight you linked to and have that split automatically instead, you know?

Best of luck!!

I've rejected the two runs in 100% since the rules had already said "get every item in the game" but I'll be clarifying the rules now to explictly say that all photos and paintings are required

There's no way to do both with the pickl jar, if you open the jar then just holding it out to Randy does the same thing that smashing it would do, so I don't think it's possible to do both in the same run. That said, you do make a good point about "If it's all possible in the same run, it should be fine for 100%" so maybe all paintings should be required, with some testing there's only 5 paintings you can give than the Unremarkable Painting that she actually likes.

Since there are people actually running the 100%/All Items route, I'm gonna spend the next couple of days deciding what specifically is required for that run (All photos, all paintings, etc.) and touch up the rules to clarify that. As it stands right now, I'm leaning towards all the variations of the paintings that Dallas can make for Mirphy aren't necessary, but all photos are and both versions of the pickl jar are (Meaning you have to get Gillis to open the jar for you rather than just breaking the jar against Randy's head)

Feel free to let me know how you feel, and despite how the rules may change both runs submitted prior to these changes (one hasn't been verified yet) should be grandfathered in with no trouble

I feel like it would be easier said than done to get a bunch of people who would actually put the work in when it comes to like. Actually going and checking to make certain that all runs are legitimate, plus retiming all runs to make sure they go in the correct place on the leaderboard, plus moderating the forums, plus keep in mind that most of the mods for this game are ALSO mods for all the category extensions which make up a further 910 runs and another 288 hours, and another 9 runs have been submitted in the last 5 hours for the main game, increasing the time of footage to watch to 589 hours. This is also not a paying job or anything, it's a volunteer thing that they do around their actual jobs and lives you know? It's not a perfect set up but sometimes you just gotta have some patience, this is one of the most popular speedrun games in history it makes sense that the leaderboard will be backed up sometimes

There are 722 runs in the queue for Minecraft Java Edition as of right now, totaling over 570 hours of footage to watch through If you wanna watch the queue for this (or any other) game you can use this page: https://randomidiot13.github.io/queueclient-web/

There are mods that are allowed that automate the process of creating a new world so the only real wait is for the actual generation that happens after you click "Create New World"

Oh one other possible timesave I've found that may not be allowed and I want to double check, I found out by accident that double tapping the Windows button on your keyboard to bring up and then immediately close the Start Menu will instantly skip the broadcasts from Habit, saving about 5 seconds each night over the usual method of holding down space in game. I think this would save about 20 seconds in a 5 day run, or 15 seconds in a 4 day run if they were allowed

Did a full run with this technique, and the time ended up being 19:45 but I chalk that up to my being rusty from not having really run this game in a few months, BUT I found out that with this method, you can actually get back to bed before passing out and skip the extra cutscene that you'd be forced to watch otherwise, meaning that the time lost from quitting to the menu and reloading would be saved by being able to go back to bed on Day 1 and you could actually end up finishing Day 1 ahead of time on the whole, my Day 1 split in this run was a 5:59 instead of the typical 6:02 In addition to this, my split for Day 2 was 11:30, which is 10 seconds faster than my usual split of 11:40 for Day 3 (I did everything needed to be done on both Day 2 and Day 3 normally during Day 2) and is an additional seven seconds saved even when accounting for the time save from Day 1. If this route were allowed by the rules it would save at least 10 seconds on the current World Record of 19:05, and likely more time without mistakes due to being out of practice

Apologies in advance for the huge post lol So currently with the rules for speedrunning this game, there's no way to beat the game in less than 5 days (assuming you're doing a best end category) because on each of the 4 days there's something you need to do that will unlock a new area but you still have to wait until the next day. But while I was screwing around I realized that there is a way to beat the game in 4 days instead of the normal 5 using a certain skip, but it's only possible to do it by quitting out and reloading mid run. If you jump out the window like you would but land in between the Carnival and the building instead of going straight to the Carnival, you can run around the loading zone for the end credits and get to the end of the hallway to the Boiler Room and jump down past the chain link that you'd normally need to clip with the shears that Trencil gives you on Day 2. Once you jump down you can take a picture of Tiff, then quit out to the main menu, and then reload your save, as reloading a save will always spawn you back in your bedroom. Once you've done this, you can go through helping Millie, Trencil, and Ronbo like you normally would, but once Ronbo mentions potentially getting a new picture of her you can immediately give him the picture you took of Tiff, and he'll open up the Carnival on Day 1 instead of Day 2, meaning that Gillis will be available to talk to and cheer up Day 2 instead of Day 3, you can cheer up Lulia Day 2 instead of Day 3, cheer up Kamal Day 3 instead of Day 4, and go face Habit Day 4 instead of Day 5. All told this really only would save about 5-10 seconds judging from my attempts at it so far but I think it's worth mentioning, and even if the rules don't change I think it could be neat to make a new "Four Day" category where you're allowed to do this instead of the usual methods, and I thought I'd share my findings!

@Galvin You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and make shit up for attention??

Oh wow I'm so sorry in that case we should listen to you :)

Super Mario Bros. and Mari0 are both Mario and have very similar objectives, why not put them both on the same leaderboard?

Mods will retime your run if it's necessary to do so I believe

@Fireheart3 I get what you're saying but like. This one WAS streamed lmao

Here's the highlight of the run for anyone who wants to watch it themselves
