SupporterThe exclusivity of glitches is a relict from the past, which rarely applies to modern speedgames at this point (unless console games). However, the language is sometimes faster.
The reason for picking a specific language for a speedrun usually boils down to this: -The text is faster, therefore, the run is faster (fewer textboxes for example) -The version has specific glitches. Most of the time in the modern day and age, this becomes very rare due to games being released roughly at the same time. But this is very prominent in older games. -It's funny
Glitchhunting has a few similarities to QA testing. It is mostly messing around and trying different things to see what happens. Its a fun process, just like routing
Well you kinda put a lot of responsibility on your shoulders. Considering that this is THE website for speedrunning and probably a ressource that a good amount of people are going to see this, especially as it is pinned and consider it as something official.
Oh, no one really uses that section. Also people are put up on there automatically but I do recommend using the speedrun tag on twitch if you are speedrunning.
Ask in the minecraft speedrunning community
IMO you can just create a google doc and link people to that where you find technical details about capturing devices. You made this thread without the knowledge and you quite honestly shouldn't have done that.
You dont start a project and then seek a project team. You start a project when you already have the project team.
FNF is literally an autoscroller that you cannot speed up. It is a highscore game and will not be added to src, we had this discussion many times already. The run has to be unedited from the start to the end of the run, in some specific scenarios you also have to include some other elements before the timer starts to verify the legitimacy (for example the creation of a new savefile from the main menu and so on).
Ask in the specific game community first, they can answer your specific questions. Overall I do recommend just having the speedrun unedited completely, but that is just me.
Already had to split some forum posts up into multiple ones
Why I hate it Make it go away
What retro console do you want to capture? This is the most important question.
Also, I would avoid using the thread from Pear as a reference, as a lot of information are missing to make an educated choice on what capture card you should get.
The reality is, mobile speedruns are just not that great and mostly not really recommendable, sorry. And then coop? Thats really tough to find.
posts are even more detailed and share more information about those products. So in retrospective, without having technical knowledge about the devices, I would share what video output you need to capture and perhaps the difficulty at max that the console brings with itself. Recommending with only half-knowledge is highly dangerous. As an IT technician, there is nothing worse than someone recommending software/hardware or even fixing something that only knows half of what he has to know. It leads to frustration and problems down the line. From technical issues, compability issues to even straight up wrong purpose.
What is composite? What is RGB? What is S-Video? What is SCART? When writing a guide at this scope, you really need to cover all bases.
And then retrotink and so on. All important products to cover as well.
Yeah, ressources are good to have. However it should be def. a community endeavour with people who know what they are talking about adding details and giving good advice. So many people recommend crappy hardware simply because they do not know better and it gets the job done without considering costs or perhaps other possible issues with the product.
Rather then recommending a capture card, perhaps it should be talked about ways of capturing a console and what to consider when capturing device x. For some platforms, yeah you can recommend specific solution as there are not that many alternatives on the market (3ds capture cards only have a few producers). However then, a good guide needs to be researched. I can go and google how to record a wii and find multiple products and reddit posts, recommending me capture devices, with barely to little information about the technical details. What does this thread do better compared to those reddit posts? In reality, sometimes the reddit
Elo rarely replies to anyone. Has ben only very very few times that someone from them actually wrote something. To the points:
-
Seach can be improved, not like that tho. A list of results would be already good that you can filter (advanced search)
-
No one needs that
-
Not really important as well. What would be the point of it? I do not see any usefulness in tracking that number. Also, how do you track that number? People clicking on that link individually or bound to an account? How does it handle the people without an account in this case? The number would probably be very inaccurate
Don't wanna be that guy, but you should really stick to one username in the internet (unless you want to vanish from the internet or "restart" but that would mean never touching old accounts and creating new accounts for everything). A nickname is like your identity on the internet and changing that is going to be very confusing. I would have never known that you are pikasriel from seeing your name pop up here on the forums.
Also your credibility and reputation is bound to a username. Not everyone will read this forum post and will be probably assuming you are random new user #2312315124
