@vabific It generally hurts more if you take whatever they're saying seriously, when they say 'just ignore them' they mean to not take everything they say as 100% serious. Most of what people that are toxic say they really don't mean, they just pretend to in order to get a reaction out of someone. Not taking what they say as 100% serious is generally one of the best ways to handle stuff like that, and I think that's what people were suggesting.

@Liv from my experience, it's pausing the game to make stuff easier (like controlling LBLJs in SM64)

Edit: This thread is finally sticky :) Hopefully new players get to read it.

The DM mentioned word for word that it was a preference unlike the rules.

@DD_Gamingz unfortunately there's no official updates on anything since ELO took over, anything we got is speculation (besides that one forum post + one in each major thread prior saying 'use the support hub instead of this thread'). There might be some way to use the speedrun.com api and/or a discord bot that uses it, but it's likely you'll just have to make a thread looking for runners from the country in question and hope that people respond.

@GoldenSpaghettiHoop When you say 'ignore' do you mean don't instantly respond? The mods get a buttload of messages per day, give them 1-2 weeks to respond to it.

According to site staff he's banned from modding because he's not 16. Apparently despite it being a preference that games mods are 16+, he just straight up isn't allowed to do it since they know he isn't.

Reached out to them. after seeing Merl's response, forgot to mention that here

@SyrupAndButterYT you linked the wrong YT channel, so I couldn't sub if I wanted to (I don't want to)

@ivoryy It doesn't state that it's required in the rules, you should be fine. Generally try to get audio though. You could also use audio splitters to make it so you only get game audio (that's what I do). Made a guide on that here:

@Smudey added all of them

@NoeZip you do you, but WR contenders will eventually have to use a developed route to stand a chance (or come up with their own faster route)

@Smudey those guides haven't even been run by me, they're just general tips that I kinda noted in case someone ever goes about actually routing each task like you did for airship.

@ShadowDraft you might wanna mention that you need the link to the image address, not the place the image is on, this took me way too long to figure out.

@Smudey Updated it, thanks.

Add the game download to resources, and please ping me when leaderboards are set up >.> I want to do a run when it is lol

it's fine as is.

Added a few sections to this after reading some forum posts.

Added it to the FAQ thread, check out section 22 https://www.speedrun.com/speedrunning/thread/pt010/1#s77sn

For a stream, you need to make a highlight so it isn't deleted. You can submit a link to something w/ a timestamp if it's an unedited youtube video. I'll add a quick section to the FAQ thread: https://www.speedrun.com/speedrunning/thread/pt010
