I doubt it but it's also likely Site Staff won't add early access games with very little content, I had the same problem when the run was under 5 minutes that I submitted with the request because not all of the game's levels had been added. Additionally if the pre-release is highly anticipated or part of a big series they're much more likely to accept it because there's a need for the board ASAP.

Someone else can submit the Impossible Game 2 to the site, because it's a different game it won't be on this board

none of the above is supported by the sovereign individual of RaggedDan

With no offence intended at all, I am kind of surprised a company looking to do business with the site owners made a forum post

Not to say other runners on the board are bad, but sometimes you just find runners who are absolutely insanely good at their games, either for a huge amount of practice or their extensive gameplay before trying to speedrun it.

I think @BBF on I Wanna Be The Boshy is a good contender - this is just one category but essentially all of them look something like this https://i.imgur.com/GcCdd9A.jpg

Indeed, as always if enough people are interested in the idea then we'll be happy to add it to the Category Extensions @NemboYT you're also welcome to come and persuade people on our Discord ;)

I somewhat agree with the idea that it will inevitably become a competition and it's a hugely unnecessary feature when other site issues persist, besides unless it's a totally new direction Elo is taking I don't consider sr.c to be a form of social media in any large sense, it's leaderboards and resources, with a forum, and whilst the addition of run comments make the site seem more sociable, I reckon followers will feel completely out of place when if such a thing were included from day one, it would more accurately reflect notable runners, and now it would be a bit of a mess.

Bruh the absolute state of the replies on that Twitter post, poster shilling stuff aggressively. Hope this is just a joke and not advertising xD

I agree principally that series mods are not necessary anymore, in the same way as @skyweiss BUT I'll mention that the system by which page formatting works may need to change, series mods don't necessarily need to have the power to add games freely which could be re-assigned to super/regular mods because I had to submit three support hub requests to make tiny changes to the background image and icon of this series https://www.speedrun.com/drizzlepath_series of which I am the sole moderator of all included games, which is absurd. If it were feasible I'd ask that Super Mods be given the power to add games freely on series whilst regular series moderators have the power to change the series page but nothing else and people can be added as regular series moderators via support hub requests if that's an important component of the page (if it's a big series). Although I know that'll likely never be implemented or changed because of the way the series pages behave like a normal game's page.

Really good question actually, it hadn't really occurred to me. Initially, my idea is that duos submissions should be only between two players trying to achieve a victory with no chests, because if one runner was barred from looting chests then it would be similarly possible for the other teammate to hand them loot (or similar advantage).

At the moment I think it's best if duos both loot no chests for the category (i.e, playing with a random teammate will not be tenable unless they disconnect immediately), so I've added an extra rule mentioning that, but if anyone else has a comment on this please say so!

In relation to @Jubilee 's last post, that account's post is on a chain wherein the other two posters are also bots to set up the response.

Yeah, some OOBs are used to an effect in @nupali 's WR run, but it's always great to find more ways of doing them. Tonguc Bodur you magnificent bastard xD Please feel free to make this video a guide too!

Hugely sorry for the lack of a response on this thread, problems with pending runs should dissipate from now onwards.

I think a message was deleted here but I was going to respond with: This is indeed probably the result of a poorer computer, which for some reason the in-game time is greatly affected by. The solutions to this problem are to reject runs that have stutters or severe buffering before the run starts, or more practically, reject runs that don't align their IGT with the RTA. Because we could overload our computers to get more unrealistically lower and lower times in theory with this, and that's not acceptable Hopefully @omelettejoyeuse sees this

Glamorganshire, WalesRaggedDan3 years ago

Yeah sorry I should explain that point about calculating the game time a bit better, go to this tool https://slashinfty.github.io/yt-frame-timer/ Then follow the instructions with the first frame being the first frame with a visible game, and the last frame being the first frame after they have escaped.

If you do the same thing with other runs, the resultant time is generally the same when rounded to the second, or very close.

I run many games special to me for one reason or another, sr.c's top-level ownership could improve a lot but they've done a fair bit well :)
