California, USATo all the people with literally 2 hour old accounts, let me ask you this:
Imagine you are in your final year in uni, studying to become an engineer. One of your assignments is a research paper about rockets and how they function at high speeds. You start writing your paper, and soon run into a problem. You think you got some equations wrong, but you aren't sure. You decide to ask a bunch of your fellow engineering majors to help you understand if the equation is wrong or not. Suddenly, a first year biology major, with almost no previous engineering knowledge, comes in and starts to give his opinion on the situation. My question is, are you going to listen to the bio major, or all of your engineering partners?
Obviously that was a joke, but the point is that why do they even matter? Apparently you can hide them, which is neat. All these other icons are just that. Icons. Why would you get rid of something if it's not a problem?
I've had bad experience with Duolingo. Didn't teach me a thing. Please delete that icon. ASKfm is also really shady. I don't want to support them because I think that they are shady. Get rid of that please. Tumblr is a safe space. Why are we promoting that on this site. GTFO.
Any% (No SSU) All Missions or 100% (interchangable) Any%
I believe these are ordered by what are the most popular/relevant categories.
The first video really sounds like an attack on KirkQ. I get what you have gone through, but I think that you should provide more proof than a simple block from someone on Twitter. Also requesting DOXing of admins is in no way going to help your cause.

Was not aware these were even allowed characters in names...
Does ruu.kr provide explanation into where they are coming from? ffzBlobThonk
The only true world record holder is LappySheep.
I decided to put this together because it is interesting. Whether you read it or not, my opinion on the OP is at the bottom. :)
GTA: 20 IL times all on PC (there are no any% times)
GTA London, 1969: 10 IL times all on PC (there are no any% runs)
GTA London, 1961: 1 any% time and 2 100% times (all PC)
I won’t be doing IL times after this, as there are too many
GTA 2: Any% - 5 PC runs All Wang Cars - 3 PC runs
GTA 3: Any% - 4 PS2 runs - 3 XBOX runs - 1 PS4 run - 116 PC runs All Missions - 1 XBOX run - 30 PC runs 100% - 27 PC runs All Hidden Packages - 5 PC runs - 1 PS2 run All Unique Stunts - 1 PS2 run - 15 PC runs All Rampages - 4 PC runs
No more Misc. Categories (too much)

I believe that there is not enough variation between consoles to warrant a separation of platforms.
[quote=RottDawg]This is a stupid little incident to make a fuss over[/quote] Agreed.
Before I start this, I want to say I'm not trying to insult speedrunning nor the site with this thread. I don't want it to turn into this thread. It's just some things are annoying when speedrunning, like maybe an annoying chat spam, or when you lose a 5 hour run to a crash. By no means is this meant to be a drama thread either. I also am not attempting to call anyone out. These also aren't meant to be problems that need to be addressed (at least with my reason), but just general annoyances you might have.
For me personally, I don't like how some people think that speedrunning is an elitist thing. The "you suck if you have a bad time" aspect.

There's a tutorial by KZ_Frew going over the strats for the whole mission.
You unfortunately have to go in to each thread. The 5 main topics (Introduction, Speedrunning, Streaming, Talk, and The Site) only require 1 thread to be viewed before the topic is counted as read.
Something that I would suggest is to always finish your first run (if possible). Yes, it will probably be not great, but the second run is quite nice to see all the humongous time saves you get (if you're using a timer that is). And, you'll have a time to run against instead of nothing.
