For what its worth I also think this would be a good change.

Lack of capitalisation is triggering me.

Hello, here's a few thoughts about the matter:

• Gore filter should be allowed imo. It's a legit method of playing the game on a legit release. That's how it works, some versions are faster than others. We wouldn't ban all of sad_david's run which had the gear glitch just because it's apparently macOS exclusive. So if you have the game on 360, congratz you just saved yourself a free ~4 seconds!
• As much as I dislike the name "Hard Route", I'm not really content with "Dark Route" either, as it doesn't imply its property of needing to be unlocked. I'd prefer "Special Route" or "Secret Route". For "Normal Route", I think "Standard Route" could work as well. Heck, do we need "Route" in the name at all? As far as I'm concerned, we might switch - SM64 style - to simply "egg" categories. How about "0 Eggs Standard Path", "0 Eggs Secret Path", "9 Eggs", "10/11 Eggs", "20 Eggs", "21 Eggs"? It might sound ridiculous at first but I would be down for that.

If there is any official statement by Playdead as to how the "Hard Route" is 'officially' called, we might integrate this into the name. But I doubt it, since Playdead are staying silent about their games' content most of the time. :P
