ValhallaI'm running out of ideas for youtube polls, so if anyone's got stuff they're curious about, I could use some good questions.
Video and Audio Proof Threshold: 1:05:00
Capture Card Threshold: 55:00
^I can understand requiring video and audio proof, but why is there a need for capture cards at 55:00? What could that showcase that someone recording their whole TV + setup cannot (assuming they somehow get a solid quality recording of their setup). I don't plan on running this game rn, but I'm just curious as this was brought up in the talk forums.
What will this accomplish, this seems like a really weird feature to add.

I need to wait for discord support to get it fixed apparently, it just sucks. Just figured I should put this out there (and src mods should probably ban my account from the server temporarily)
This is a post trying to cover as much ground as possible for really well known (for better or worse) or interesting talk threads and will try to give a reason for why. If anyone has any recommendations feel free to dm me on site or just reply to this post.
#Real-Life Threads (Threads that talk about life in general) -What do you do outside of speedrunning?
#Reccomendation Threads -Movie/TV/Anime Reccomendations
#Favorite Things Threads -Favorite Games
#Interesting Speedrun-Related Talk -Interesting speedrunning stories
#The "OG" Chain Thread Don't Break the Chain <- This was the first notable chain thread, and the first (to my knowledge) to reach 50 pages. Started many other chain threads.
#Big Chain Threads -Elo Team is Unreachable or I Am Doing It Wrong? <- One of the most unreadable threads ever made, almost every post there reads like a shitpost -What if someone kept dumping their own thread? <- a very dumb experiment by me to see what would happen on the talk forums if someone keeps bumping their own thread, the experiment hasn't concluded yet. -Word Game <- the next posts starts with the last letter of the previous one
Please leave your replies in the video's comments.
This seems to be a new bug on the forums, but it's very annoying. Whenever you make a quote like |quote=| text |/quote| in any forum post (using square brackets instead), and you try to edit, it just doesn't let you edit and turns the forum post blank.
I like the new change. Makes it easier to see what games have runs left to verify and whatnot. Also nice to be able to view multiple videos without having to click back and forth a bunch. That being said, it looks a bit ugly (although with a major overhaul like this that's a bit expected), maybe changing the colors or something will help? (idk I'm not a graphic design kinda guy). Either way, this is the first thing I've seen in awhile that seems like a good change, just wanted to give some positive feedback w/ all the recent negativity around the site.
(For those wondering it looks something like this, and you can keep scrolling down to view multiple runs, navigating through it is 500x smoother and faster than before)
Go touch some grass.
Or maybe do some speedrunning.
Is there a PS4 Controller Spliiter / USB Splitter for a PS4 controller?
Saw some posts about how it's hard to know if a user has cheated in the past, why not make a thread compiling all know cheaters? Or maybe like a pastebin or something idk. Just an idea. I feel like it'd be nice if someone made a list of that though (maybe with dates of times they cheated too so people can see if they had a chance to reform themselves or something)
There will be a mario kart fusion event that ends July 7 at 6 PM EST. You will need to claim your prizes before the steam summer sale ends (some time July 8th) or you will get a different prize. There will be 3 winners. 2 will win the garfield kart lasagna bundle, 1 will win the game slap city. Winners must have a steam account (games will be gifted to them if they win). You can run the game on dolphin or a real wii, but we will not help anyone pirate the game.
You will have to play 2 of the following tracks: Warios Crumbled Colosseum Mushroom Mountain Musical Cliff Sweet Galaxy Canyon and a total of 4 tracks to enter a raffle for prizes! All you need to do is complete a run on 4 tracks with those specifications, submit them to the mario kart fusion leaderboards on speedrun.com, and you will have a chance at winning these games. Winners will be announced after all runs are verified and chosen by random.org.
People playing with dolphin emulator must record with at least one of these things for the sake of integrity going forward. Runs that didn't have this proof before this point will still be kept on the boards unless they're proven to be cheated. -Show an input display on the inputs they are putting in at all times -Record their game with a camera pointed at the screen and audio/visuals that make it clear that there is a human making inputs -Other (if you believe you have an alternative please contact one of the mods and ask!)
For those who need help setting up an input display, there are a lot of guides out there, but here's one I put together:
I'm a mod for MKFusion and the new version just came out, meaning I need to add/alter some categories for ILs. However, the stupid src bug where ILs just don't load at all is still happening. When will this get fixed? There's some people who can't submit runs rn bc/ of it. (workaround for older stages is just directly visiting a stage's leaderboard).
1.) Can I run this game w/ twlight++?
2.) I ran this with twilight++ and had a run of 10+ hours (blind + first run), is it ok to submit it in the form of 2 videos, am I allowed to speed up a section as long as it shows everything so that the video is 10 hours, or is there somewhere I need to upload it that allows 10+ hour vids?
Edit: I'd like to simply speed up the end of the run and include an unlisted video of it without speedup if that's ok.
Edit2: Might be just under 10 hours.
Since video proof is needed for runs on the board, here's my unofficial time, figured I'd put it somewhere.
