Israel[quote]How to ruin forum posts (Sorry)[/quote]
Something tells me you are not really sorry.
In my opinion, short and easy ILs shouldn't really count for ties. I can think of lots of games where "level 1" is so simple that anyone can get the tied world record on, without even trying. The runners just have to play, record and submit - this whole process should take 5 minutes at most.
For example: https://www.speedrun.com/mini_bubbles/level/1
Carbon Based Lifeforms
Edit: To be more detailed: I like "electronic chillout" tracks by several artists.
I have a playlist of chillout tracks that I collected over several years: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLivX4S4MEltV84KIVhd7GcauSnhaEDukM
I know most of the artists by listening to the chillout channel in the DI.FM radio.
@hahhah42 All of them. To give some examples:
- The first game I added to the site is close to the end of the list. So there are games in the list after and before it, which were created after that game.
- The latest game I added to the site, about 14 days ago, is in the middle of the list.
- A game which was added in 2016 (not by me) is in the middle of the list as well.
As for the 2 series:
- One of them is at the very top of the list
- The other one is shown after the first third of the list
Another things: the order of games in the moderation hub seems completely random. It's not going in alphabetical order, and also not going by the games creation date either. Right now I'm moderating 35 games, and it's hard to locate specific games in the list just by looking at it.
Also, I am moderator of 2 series, and those 2 are just thrown in the games list along with the others, again with no logical order. The series should be separated from the games. My ideas:
- Add a new list for series, which will function the same as the current list. Only show the list if the user moderates any series.
- Put all series at the top of the current list, and have a clear separation line between the series and the games.
The only thing that is annoying for me is the auto-embed of videos in the runs list, like @Solderq35 said. I agree with the idea by @Liv - the videos should be hidden by default, with the option to expand/minimize videos of individual runs. (Perhaps also expanding/minimizing all videos at once).
Other than that, looks good!
@Hi "Web games" is an umbrella term for all games you can play on the browser, which isn't limited to Flash games for a very long time now. You've got games built in HTML5, Unity, Pico8, WebGL, and several more frameworks.
(Specifically, "Return to castle monkey ball" is made in Unity).
But what if, as new runner, you want to introduce yourself in the "Introduction" thread, or ask something in the forums which is related to the first run you intend to do? (Ask for advice, how to set up equipment, how to set up the game, etc)
You can't just lock people from discussions or asking questions.
Plus, you can easily circumvent this by submitting a "run", in one of the few leaderboards that allow to do it with:
- self-verification
- submitting a run without video
- submitting a run without video only up to a certain threshold, and then you will just submit a slower time than this threshold
@ShikenNuggets I assume that hahhah42 knows it well.
For me, there are some short 2-4 minutes games which I ran in the past; And at the time, I never bothered to request them to the site, because I was 99.9% sure they will just be rejected.
Of course I can request them to the site now, and set their leaderboards and everything; but after so much time, I moved on to other games, and I don't really care for them now.
So I just "wait" for someone else to request the games. If it never happens, so be it.
