Imagine being upset that someone with actual critical thinking skills crashed your boys club and the whole speedrunning community saw it happen
Doom 2 is a game that no one plays? UV-Max is a category that no one plays?
This is why insular communities like this one get clowned so hard the second they're brought to the attention of the public. You spend so little time welcoming fresh faces and ideas the second anything a little challenging comes along you all start making passive aggressive threads like this and start talking about "the way it's always been" as if you somehow own RE:4 in its totality or that anybody outside your backwater community cares.
Friendly reminder that the only ones making categories free are you guys. Your rules are hilariously arbitrary. So much so that they come off as vindictive and crafted specifically to exclude certain runners and new tech.
The only things that are free are the new categories you arbitrarily create to protect your existing "1st places"...
I can't help but notice if the leaderboards were merged, Cyberdemon would be in 1st place...
Lol. If he played the way others do, no, he wouldn't. But hey, lets tweak stuff for internet fame!
kromer, i have a 1:31.
also, nice ad hominem personal insults. what happened to being mature on this board? Oh right, you can't help yourselves lmao
Nice Run Cyber! Keep up the good work!
Because a game doesnt have runners people shouldn't run them?
Kromer are you trying to make a point rn because it's as if you're just spouting shite
"We shouldn't listen to the rational opinion of rational people who know about the game from watching streams/videos because they haven't done a run!" "We don't need to improve and clarify the rules of the leaderboard because of one run! We should wait until the wound festers and becomes a problem before doing anything!" Guess who I am.
"no one's opinion should matter except mine, and my tight group of friends who is closed off from anyone who disagrees with my worldview"
Reminder you guys deleted the Resident Evil 4 discord because you didn't like people questioning your opinions.
CretinPatrol > leaderboards are made for runners, no? not for viewers. So, for me, Kromer is right in that case.
Anybody who isn't in your self-absorbed closed tribe of sycophants can see this behavior for what it is.This constant nepotism and hostility towards outsiders is why there's wide cross-community support against you, why the site admin stepped in and unmodded all of you, why control of the leaderboard has been ripped from your grasp and there's nothing you can do about it. I hope you enjoyed your power trip while it lasted.
@miakx Just because I do one shitty run of a game doesn't automatically make my opinion more valuable. Leaderboards should listen to whoever is the most correct, regardless of if it's some runners, some viewers, a school of fish or the ghost of a dead cat.
There's a reason there were like 6 other communities mentioned through all the discussions. Because everyone has seen what's been going on, and it's not like you guys haven't been quoted verbatum all over Twitter and Speedrun.com
We are not going to discuss important stuff in SRC anymore so if you want to participate in upcoming discussions, please join the discord and read the announcements channel.
