My computer has a Ryzen 5 3600, RX 6800, and 32GB 3600C16 RAM; I figure that ought to be powerful enough to play and record the game. As it turns out, having speedrun.com open causes the very low framerates, and recording the game makes the game struggle to get 60 FPS anyway, which isn't great. Ah well, it isn't terrible, I suppose. But I digress. There are a few things that I don't think are intended by the developers that can save some time. I'm thinking we could separate the leaderboards into glitchless and glitched categories to account for them, but I'll see what happens. It might also be worth adding an "All achievements" category after all and just mentioning in the rules or a guide what all has to be done to complete a run like that.

As part of the expansion of the speedrunning scene, I've taken it upon myself to create a Discord server for the community. The link is in the sidebar, or you can find it here: https://discord.gg/pRNkaD2Qvq We hope to see you there!

Nice, good luck. I might do a run soon now that I see that you're doing one. I'm currently writing out the route to give me direction, so I don't have to remember everything. I'll post it as a guide once it's done since the current one is a bit drawn out. I found that while playing again, the framerate starts out good but almost immediately drops to a crawl, leading to a very choppy game. That's unusual for the hardware I'm using, but it could be because I upgraded my GPU since last I played.

"Isn't "No Tips" an unneeded category then?" I agree. My guess for why it's its own category is that the VOD for Unity's speedrun used a tip (I didn't watch it, but when first I checked, I was able to see that it was just their first playthrough.)

"What is the "The Little Speedrun" achievement?" In Steam, it is an achievement for completing the game in under an hour.

I'd say that Any% / Full Game is the only necessary category. I'd have also called for an All Achievements category, but once you get an achievement once, you don't see a notification for it again, so it wouldn't be feasible to track whether you met the conditions for all achievements in later runs.

Good luck with your run, Cuervo. I was thinking I'd post a run sooner, but I never got to it. Hopefully soon, though.

I'm also willing to help moderate the game, but it'd be my first time moderating on Speedrun.com, and I suppose having a third mod would be unneeded in its current state.

I'm interested in taking up speedrunning this game and adding something to the leaderboards, but I'm curious as to what each category means. I can tell that "All Achievements" means you get every achievement the game has to offer, but the others I'm not certain of. My guess is that "No Tips" means you don't ask for any hints, "Less 1 Hour" means you get every achievement except "The Little Speedrun", and "Full Game" is just running through the story once. Is this correct?
