I saw this posted earlier I think it needs to be more clear and also I think they're saying that console runs are on your pc ng+ category and are incorrect and not on the console category

United Kingdom

And i think something else about the pc inventory apparently worse than console inventory which I don't agree with

You can tell that particular vod (the one from Santrax) is on PC because the timer is hooked into the game, and you can see his mouse hooked into the game whenever the menu pops up. And I mean, it says PC on the splits.

You can? I'm confused what you mean. I've seen loads of players on PC just move through their menus using directional keys, as console players do.

And those two images don't really make any sense.

You're showing the machine part - unopened on the "PC" image. Of course you cannot use the machine part box, you need to examine it, open it and receive the machine part before you can use it.

On the "console" image you're showing the actual machine part itself, after the box has been opened through examining it.

He menus manually there to open the boxes before he reaches the puzzle and that's why he has to leave the inventory; to move closer to the trigger for the puzzle.

This is Xerian's run, on PC, he does all menus here within a single menu; never leaves the menu:

Pay attention to how the menu looks in that run, and how it looks during Xerian's; the puzzle shows in the background. This is because in your example, the runner has menued manually to examine the boxed machine parts and had not hit confirm on the puzzle itself to trigger the menu. He then had to back out of his manual menu and hit confirm on the puzzle itself to place the parts.

I edited my previous post to contain an example of what is meant.

Essentially, to examine the machine parts in your example, he menued as if he were going to heal, instead of hitting confirm in the proximity of the puzzle. It's a small optimization issue on his end, and this is why he couldn't place the parts. Not anything to do with console/PC.

Yeah I've saw pc speedrunners not using their mouse to use an item from the inventory it's the same when they discard an item as liv said the directional keys on the keyboard and another to confirm or they use the mouse to confirm

United Kingdom

Yeah that's what I used to do when I was new to speedrunning I examined an item like the modulator for an example and then exited the inventory then went back into the inventory then confirmed
