there a run that has been verified as 1st in the glitchless category , with use of a glitch that wasn't allowed to be used. its at the start of the run . uses the car battery to get underneath it and shoot it across the room to get the screwdriver down. this isn't allowed as you are glitching the battery's normal movements with the player model.
I can understand your feelings, but this method is not simple and the difficulty of getting started is very high. I have already provided my own explanation to Yummy, and you can try to break my record. You will know that it is not easy
You naturally have your own opinions on whether this is a glitch, but I don't think it's a glitch, and I have put forward my own explanation
Yeah, I'm aware runs like this are in the glitchless categories.
They could be moved out. But I think the previous moderation team didn't enforce this rule and verified runs with this glitch by mistake. For example, here is a run you verified that contains the glitch🤦 https://www.speedrun.com/granny_pc/runs/znj55j3m
I think runs getting past like this ended up setting a precedent for future runs of this being allowed.
On the mobile version of the game, this is considered a glitch, but this game did have different moderation teams.
Also, let's be clear which part of this is and isn't a glitch.
The act of throwing an item itself to fling around the room itself isn't a glitch. This is more of a trick. Runs with this would be verified on mobile.
However, it hitting the scewdriver and it falling down is a glitch. I remeber a few years ago this question was asked for the mobile game. I ended up making it a glitch with the "Skipping any part of the game" rule.
Knocking the screwdriver down is skipping a part of the game as you're clearly meant to hit it with a weapon.
Another similar glitch to this is banned, that's pushing the vase through the wall to hit the scewdriver down. But this does have an item go through a wall glitch.
I get that having this glitch does make the runs more interesting.
Maybe we should enforce this on the PC game? I could do a poll maybe, but that's a lot of effort? And if it's on Discord, then the Chinese runners might not be able to vote. But it could be on SRC too.
