for those unaware, quitting out generally means quitting to the main menu and reloading your game to skip certain sequences.
so i noticed that pretty much every end chapter sequence where you wait for the painting to change can be expedited by quitting out. i have some examples in the following youtube vid:
as you can see, this will save a stupid amount of time over whole run. initially i was just going to update the rules to say this isnt allowed but i figured the community, however small it is, should discuss it first. so here is that discussion.
what are all your thoughts on it? personally, since the run is technically RTA any%, it would be assumed that quitting out is allowed. however while it is indeed faster, i dont think it should be allowed because it doesnt seem to fit into the spirit of the game. it just seems like cheap time save as opposed to skillfully saving time throughout the run. further, the time saved fully depends on how fast your computer is. on my pc with an ssd, load times are pretty instant. this would punish runners with lower end pcs.
the 'community' in this game tends to consist of 2-4 people at any given time. nonetheless, i ask what you all think. if this thread doesnt gain much traction, i will update the rules to clarify that quitting out is not allowed in the run.
