The game, "River City Girls" is on the site. I've never heard of the games myself, so I don't know if they are the same game. If you want to make a leaderboard for a game that isn't currently on the site, you can request it to be added by filling out this form: https://www.speedrun.com/knowledgebase/supporthub/request-game-or-series

I wish you the best with sorting out whatever is going on with your family and other stresses. It's sad that you're leaving but it's important to put IRL stuff first. Thank you for being a good person and a positive influence on the site. We'll all miss you and I hope you can return to speedrunning sometime in the future.

Pausing should not be allowed, since it isn't possible to pause the game when playing in scratch. It's a feature exclusive to turbowarp.

There's a "marifteen minute" challenge where you beat several mario games in 15 minutes using credits warps. I can't think of any other "time limit" challenges, but you could just do a run of a multi-game and set a goal time for yourself.

I'm not sure what you expect speedrun.com to do.

We were playing a game in which one person says a sentence, followed by another who says the exact same sentence that the other person said

I've never really cared about my profile pictures, so whenever I need one I just see what random pictures I have saved, and pick whichever one would make a somewhat-decent pfp. The "graph" pfp that I use on twitter and discord is a random homework assignment I did in late 2020. The pfp I used to use on twitter is a random portrait of some historical figure (I don't remember why I saved it). Currently on speedrun.com, my pfp is (bad) pixel art I made of longcat. I set it as my profile picture during the legendary longcat/widedog forum war of '21.

For me, I prefer that games have very little RNG in them, especially if the game is very difficult to beat. If a game does have RNG, than I would like it to be less mechanically demanding. As @VyPr said, an accurate in game timer is very important; a lot of games have IGT but the IGT is easily abusable or innacurate. I also like speedgames that are shorter in length (about 5 minutes or less), but that preference differs from person to person. Some people enjoy doing very long runs. Finally, I like games that lend themselves to having categories. If your game is basic right now, adding collectibles like coins or powerups opens the door to categories like 100% and low%, and can improve the experience for casual players who are completionists.

Edit: I played the game for a couple minutes and its pretty fun. I might speedrun this myself.

These threads should really stop. It’s just pathetic how they are being abused in the community. It really makes people not want to run it or get involved in the community, me included. I hope mods will punish those type of people. In case the person who made this thread deletes their post so it doesn’t appear first anymore I took a screenshot to provide as proof for the mods.
