Recently I've been noticing most (but not all) my recordings have been significantly slower than the ingame time. But that happened suddenly like from one day to the other for some mysterious reason. Before that all recording times were within 1/2 frames of the ingame timer. Does anyone have any idea how such a sudden lag/performance problem could occur?

So I've gotten a 26.466 ingame time and looking at it frame by frame, the gameplay was pretty good, so I don't doubt the integrity of the timer, but if I time it the old method it's 26.966 - a whole 0.5 seconds of lag. But among my recordings is also a 26.532 with 26.550 by the old timing, so this is not a constant thing.

On one hand I feel like I should put it on the board, because there is no point to the ingame timer otherwise. On the other hand it's such an extreme difference. 😩

If there are many categories, it becomes annoying to use and there is no good overview. See for example this leaderboard: https://www.speedrun.com/smbce And see here how it used to look: https://web.archive.org/web/20210210032815/https://www.speedrun.com/smbce

Maybe do it like this?

I like how I verified over 1000 hours of runs in a game with a runs total of 2 hours. :D

"Excellent question @Saradoc. Just when will all this "showing basic human decency and common courtesy to other people" stop. Definitely WAY too much of that going around!" It's neither courtesy nor decency to enable someone's delusions and/or attention-seeking. "Xenogenders" and "multiples" aren't real, the Earth isn't flat and 2+2=4.

"There was a runner during Frame Fatales who had "they (plural)" onscreen as their pronoun. Seems easy enough."

How far will this nonsense get pushed I wonder? Can I get a pronoun for identifying as a cosine function?

Also resets are slightly slower in general.

No

"Just got something else to add to this that didn’t seem to be mentioned here already, I moderate a game with a LOT of categories (several hundred at least)."

Maybe that's the problem.

I made a recording of the first run on Nesticle 0.43 via DosBox, but the other 3 all desynched.

I added a section to the WR Progression for it and other very old runs:

Ancient Runs Outside Leaderboards Several emulator movies were uploaded to Zophars Domain: 7:45 by deputy-headless on May 9 1999 7:10 by Quasifrog on June 26 1999 7:00 by DarkMazda on July 15 1999 6:30 by gz on October 1 2000

Jeff Ninneman and Jason Harmer had a recorded Super Mario Bros. race in front of a crowd in 2002. (Article, Video) Both had times of 5:50 (5:53 from pressing Start), though Jason Harmer (on the right) was a bit faster. The article mentions Jeff Ninneman having finished with 5:11 and Jason Harmer having finished with 5:09. These may refer to their personal best times at the time of the race or at the time of article (February 26 2006). Jason Harmer has a 5:09 video uploaded on October 12 2012 that may be the run refered to in the article.

Can someone clear up some of the confusion about the last section or know more runs that would fit there?

One thing is setting single tap to move in the settings and the other is moving cards to the top piles by pressing the mousewheel down.

Why specifically Easy/Normal/Hard/Random? Won't the Microsoft Solitaire Collection have the issue of the small number of seeds that Klondike has? Meaning you can memorize a game and reset until you get it (or manipulate the save file) making difficulty meaningless.

I meant Windows version instead, like either as it is on the Klondike board or "pre-8/10","8/10","Mobile" or "3-XP","Vista/7","8/10","Mobile". Though again at least the XP version has very simple timer based RNG manipulation. Not sure about the others.

I think main cats being "One Suit", "Two Suits", "Fours Suits" and subcategories being versions like on the Solitaire board would be good.

Which version do you mean?

You would only need to make one subcategory per category instead of one global one...

With those 3 difficulties everyone thinks of the old versions 1 suit/2 suits/4 suits difficulties. Mixing this with the new version's difficulty settings that are completely different makes no sense imho.

I already moderate so many games, I try not to add to it. 😩

It could autofill zeros like this
