United StatesTrying to locate some for Linux (specifically running Linux Mint)
In short, I appreciate both of those on Windows, but as I'm stepping away from Windows ideally for now, I want to figure out alternatives to those two.
They do run on Linux, but Global Hotkeys don't seem to operate properly for either.
If you're looking for a Sum of Best temporarily:
Right Click your Splits -> Compare Against -> Sum of Best (repeat process, but replace with Personal Best to revert)
If you're looking for it to permanently be on the bottom of your splits:
Right Click your Splits -> Edit Layout (opens popup) -> Plus Symbol -> Information -> Sum of Best
Self-explanatory. The website is rapidly growing as a decently successful alternative to Twitter, and feels appropriate to have alongside the other options. Also consider that SRC currently has only 11 - so having a 12th option would fill out the screen in a nice, pleasant 3x4 grid.
The [Hyperlink Blocked] The Legend N/A
Level 10 is also currently effectively a hold right stage, with precise jump timing, with the current human IL Record being 17.5 seconds long. You would need to somehow save three seconds off that stage either by getting insanely fast speeds, or find another glitch to, say, skip to a later checkpoint or speed preservation. Neither of which ain't likely happening for humans, if not tases.
Sub 13 Train ain't happening. The first seven seconds is unskippable, with a spike ceiling that will kill you off if you dare to touch it, and then you'll only have six seconds to reach the flag, which currently is only barely possible for sub 15 train by holding right the entire time.
Till the day spike glitch for ceilings is found out, sub 13 (let alone sub 14) ain't happening for every stage.
(Ignoring Train, stages 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, and 17 haven't been done in under 13 seconds as of now according to the IL leaderboard)
Either way, the refreshes aren't going to make too much of a difference right now, with personal bests being multiple minutes apart, with only four verified runners on the leaderboard.
If you were to in theory match the current WRs for the respective categories (With SMG 120 Stars as Mario), you would end up with 30 Hours, 49 Minutes, and 30 Seconds, if you were to do this without a break with every record matched. But realistically, this would most certainly take over 33-40 hours, as whoever would run this category wouldn't be top tier in all six games.
Nobody from my knowledge has done this, and likely will never do so.
Under the Site Bans category of SR.C, the following is individually noted: "You are permitted to have exactly one account on the site. Alternate accounts will be banned."
I've seen a particular user [Who I will not name publicly here] delete their account several times in the past, and then proceed to make a brand new SR.C account, followed by purging all of their current videos on their channel. I've attempted to speak with them through SR.C messaging them about this, but due to how quickly they delete their account(s), I cannot do so.
Would that be considered violating this rule?
The numbers included when submitting a run are the specific versions.
From my understanding, 1.0/1.001 were created prior to the Console Ports of Undertale, and overall lack any patches.
1.002+ was created after the console ports, and alter the inputs in such a way where several techniques became harder, and in some instances impossible to do, and include the option for Japanese text, which typically Japanese text is faster than English due to having less symbols.
If you're running on the latest version, it's 1.002+. If you want to play 1.0/1.001, check the Guides section of this sr.c page for more information.

Bunnyhopping is hard to define what counts as it, as it simply requires only jumping to build up speed, so there's not much you can do about easily defining the exploit, outside of requiring every run to not go above a special speed threshold that can only be checked with Demos or Console Commands, which would make the category even more niche, as some don't bother with Demos/Commands at lower skill levels. As for other glitches, most of them are just for skipping slow sections with barely any mechanical effort, or otherwise classify as a minor exploit.
Right now, we're better off trying to optimize the current main categories and Ending ILs, rather than adding joke categories.
On their own, the achievements Camera Shy and Transmission Received barely change the route of the run, outside of intentionally going to areas you wouldn't go to otherwise.
