So, I'll try one more attempt at yelling at this brick wall, using my own personal experience with another community.

I also run Pokemon Red, unfortunately, I have no way of running it other than emulator. Their rules say that emulator runs have to have the entire emulator window shown, I think that looks super tacky and I dislike it, so I don't do it. That means I can't submit my times to their leaderboards, but it also means that I get to have more fun and my stream looks better because of it. Now you don't see me starting threads on their boards bitching that they should make things just for me, I just play the video game the way I want to, and I don't submit my times to a leaderboard, and I go about my life.

That is what we are suggesting you do.

Also, like Kirua, I'm curious about where you are getting 30+ seconds, because if you found a new clip that saves 20+ seconds, I'm sure we would all love to see it.

Here's the deal, you can run the game however the hell you want to run it, that's the joys of this hobby. Do what you want to do, we don't care. You don't want to use "cheats" or "exploits," knock yourself out, we won't stop you. But there is absolutely no need for a new category/leader board because you don't want to do 4 fucking tricks (two of which no one but the absolute top tier runners do).

But what purpose does adding your ridiculous category have? Other than masturbating your ego more since you clearly need to feel superior to these dirty cheaters who are using these awful cheats to be better at a video game than you.
