ValhallaThere is no gate keeping whatsoever. It's calling for actual proof of your run lmao. Bringing up the exception of the exception doesn't make you right, and I'm not reading your analogy.
Some people care about competition in speedrunning, so yes, some people take it seriously. Don't like providing evidence? Don't try to submit runs then. You're not being told you can't speedrun, you can do that all day offline.
The bigger roadblock for wannabe speedrunners is acquiring the games and consoles anyways, not a phone with a camera that everyone has.
At the end of the day you can't prove a run that isn't recorded.Even in examples of hand held games, no vid no did. If the old speed gods of yesteryear developed their strats and posted shitty camera-pointed-at-TV and then recorded to VHS just to get their runs online, I think the kids today with a phone in their pocket can get a little bit more creative than just a pic of your IGT. The very reason why it doesn't count as proof can be seen with the big cheat man Todd Rogers himself, who photoshopped an IGT pic lol.
As far as having lax video proof for runs that aren't WR, some people care about competition. Feels pretty shitty if someone beats your spot on a leaderboard with his no vid run.
Whether or not an image only is considered proof enough is going to vary from community to community.
But in general: no vid no did
lmao yeah the speedrunning community is toxic because you're getting picked on for arguing over semantics. nobody tell em about /srg/
@EmeraldAly I'm certain they receive dozens of requests a day on top of everything else the site mods have to deal with. Furthermore they have to determine whether a game should be on the site or not. Honestly there's so many threads on this in the past that asking the question instead of just clicking through the forums is pretty annoying, thus the response.
"1-2 weeks..." "couple is 2 at least" I think I'm having a stroke
Pick a PC game you like to play, and beat it fast.
Sounds like you should use twitter. Or wait for the discord bot to come out if it hasn't already. After that, maybe come up with your own solution to your problem.
I would try any of the games you've already done.
or try this sick ass game https://www.speedrun.com/randomgame

Well if they just want the competition to be between them, then they can just keep it between them. I didn't even read the OP but yeah, you don't need a leaderboard to try and compete with just a friend.
I really think LotBlind meant to post that on SDA, or he's given up on SDA, idk which.
Using an emu to reduce lag? Sounds like a feature rather than poor emulation. PetaQ isn't living in the dark ages like the rest of us haha xD
It's like repeating what any sensible person has been saying for years.
PS: idk how my "delete my account" post got shifted around on SDA, but I would really like my account deleted.
Fuck Jim Sterling.
But no shit. The bigger the dev and/or publisher the more bloated, buggy, and watered down the product.
You can follow individual games to know when a world record is had. You can also follow wrbot on twitter.
It's a pretty useless bit of info though, especially knowing "time since last wr". Especially useless since you can set your run to being done at any date you wish.
then all should be Why? aesthetic reasons? Just compare the two through milliseconds. You hardly have to time every run on the leaderboard that way.
