I got pac to remove oasiz/ligh/shanz from VC within a few minutes, so you're doing something wrong.

And yeah, I guess I haven't been doing all that much. The past however any months have had me too busy with edumacation to care about going on speedrun.com. However, I would be active right now if my internet situation let me watch videos.

If you still want to unmod me then it's whatever though.

I'll try to get you some Yuengling

Could I have my underscore back? So that my name is 'Mhmd_FVC'

1. Yeah, but the thing is, there aren't really any scenarios for which switching between 1.0 and 1.0a would be worth going through all that for. 1.0a has a glitch that crashes the game upon loading a save with a projectile in it, so what I did was go RoR1.0 through the whole thing and then switch to 1.0a for the final RoR demo campaign, since that one crashes upon loading on 1.0 for some reason. (I don't even know if those should be included, technically, but that's the way it's been).

2. Yes.

For sure. I don't know the best way for me to add it to the boards here though.

This is almost as bad as the people who say "Trump should be impeached for being a known misogynist and racist" even though his snide style of speech doesn't bar him from the position. DV says he would've fixed any leaderboard issues if he was alerted to them only after he's removed as a mod; before that, he only tried justifying being lazy. As far as I know, ryedawg has done just fine in the past couple of days as a mod of the leaderboard. I suggest everyone just suck it up and keep playing the games because any issues that there were before have been ironed out by ryedawg's actions as a mod. If he does anything objectionable, THEN you bring it up, NOT complain in response to losing your precious sword.

It's all over the place so if Twitch yells at us then I'd suggest we yell at them. Don't think there'd be repercussions if they did yell at us though but maybe

Looks like the worst that can happen is the emote goes gonezo.

Also even Hugo has a CJ emote so if Twitch rejects a CJ emote then we can tell them to be consistent with their shit

I'd say remove em all (sorry goddie tyr and xonton) and replace them with emotes that, as mentioned above, pertain more to GTA itself. As long as we can get away with it, we could even make reactionary faces out of protagonists. I imagine using CJ's face like Bosz has as his profile pic in a bunch of places could be a good one; dunno how to describe how I'd interpret it, a picture is worth 1000 words.

Yeah you can do a run on mobile if you want, I've tried but it drove me mad before I could bother finishing. I do have this run in All Robberies btw

@S. Get back to me when someone actually cares about a run in which you get punched until you have 69 HP, or a run in which you just get run over by a car, one in which you just RNG a criminal being chased by a cop and punch him, or one in which you just do over half of any% that has no value in being done as practice or as a race anymore. The other ones are at least somewhat worth keeping imo.

Also, I don't care about how short the run is, I care about how pointless it is. As I said, I can't imagine that somebody actually cares about the 69 HP run, for example. Why make this board in the first place if it'll just be a garbage dump of stuff nobody cares about? Let me know if someone actually gave you input on this by saying "please add 69 HP for Vice City" or "please add Low% Bad Ending".

Yes, it's hidden, and I can just not give a fuck about it. That's what I was doing until it hit me that it could be renovated to be category extensions that are actually worth something. There should be some quality control on what's allowed to be a category, which I think you mentioned somewhere, so that it would exactly not be filled with all sorts of random garbage. The point here as I understand it is not to fill it with things as dumb as 69 HP, but more things like 35/36 USJs, Any% Dupeless (isn't that almost the same as 7 assets?), All Assets (I gotta try that some time), and maybe even stuff like "earn $1000 from insane stunts alone" just to throw an idea.

About in-game hundo: good point, it would be better to retain peace by leaving it. Also, I had it in the rules for 100% at some point and it was not a clutter at all, lol. In the clarification that you must do everything that gives percentage, there were a couple extra words that function as a link right next to it. No problemo, but your point still stands about certain people really wanting it to be a leaderboard for some reason.

As absurd as it might sound, I want the GTAVC section of the page with the URL "/gtamemes" to be purged of categories that are no more than gimmicks that have close to no value.

Let me list the ones I mean: 69 HP, Get to (0,0,0), Shakedown%, Ingame 100% NG+, Good Citizen Bonus, Low% Bad Ending, Trojan Voodoo No SSU No Censoring, One Bus Fare, and Pacifist Army Murder.

You may now be thinking to yourself, "wow this washed up kid really hates fun, doesn't he?" But I gotta say, plenty of these came into being with me joining in on the memes in the past. I fully believe they have no place on a board like this, and that the board should be reserved for categories that could possibly deserve a spot on this website, but aren't good enough to make it to their respective games' boards.

I'll go into detail.

69 HP, Good Citizen bonus, Low% Bad Ending, Get to (0,0,0), One Bus Fare, Pacifist Army Murder:

These runs last no longer than several minutes and require little to no planning or skill. There is no competition to be found doing these, and the only reason I ever did Low% Bad Ending, One Bus Fare, and 69 HP (albeit in GTA3) was because of either boredom or just coming up with random goals to get while having a timer going, and not for getting an actual free WR to be shown to the world on the site. These categories cannot be competitive and are basically just infected spots sitting on the boards.

Shakedown%: Literally just Any% up to Shakedown. What's the point? Nobody even races this anymore, and it shouldn't even be a thing on here anyway. See below.

Trojan Voodoo: This is a really cool race category, but I'll be damned if some nerd comes up and tries to grind it for WR because he can. (spoiler: I actually won't because this is exactly the kind of person that this gtamemes thing caters to.) Just leave it in peace, thanks. Also, when's voodoo?

In-Game 100% NG+: Hey, remember when nobody wanted this to be on the Vice City leaderboard? Well now I'm here to tell you that having this category here is just as pointless as it was over there! I've mentioned this before but the point of it is to show off that 100% can be achieved in under half an hour, so a link to the best run (only one that matters) can be placed in the 100% rules or somewhere else for people to see without it being a category.

Basically, leave it for memes worthy of people's time.

This should solve your problem

Thinking about it again, I wouldn't mind allowing userpatch but submitting under another game version variable in case there's some fancy stuff that other versions can't do. I'd rather not inconvenience you or anyone else, and we can see if the differences are significant anyway

Not a fan of this new thingy:

If the site needs more cash to maintain itself, then there are ways to do that that aren't reminiscent of the big streamers tossing "Top D" on their streams just to get easy money.

The Wikipedia/Mozilla method of tossing notifications up top to remind people that the site is a service to the community, that it runs off of almost nothing but our donations, that it's extremely useful as a central hub for leaderboards (although it hasn't had any significant update in about 200 years), would be a much more thought-provoking and genuine way to fundraise for the site imo. Also having one of those donation meters like on SRL to indicate how much is needed.

Could I get the underscore removed from my username?

I used to allow it but there's no reason to keep it since apparently it messes with the AI and in turn likely will affect campaign runs.

If there's solid proof that it doesn't then it's no problem, but otherwise another solution would be more ideal.

He has a point, while speedgamers like myself tend to use "casual" as a catch-all phrase for "non-speedrun", there's a lot of ways to play without speedrunning that isn't casual, and especially on marathons then it would make us look like we think all non-speedruns are not noteworthy at all.

well the http should redirect to https then tbh. most people would just type in "speedrun.com" and won't be fucked typing in https
