SupporterI, for one, welcome our new content overlords.
My guess:
1.) Cuphead comes out. 2.) This seem pretty cool grinding proceeds 3.) Games optimized relatively quickly so getting top position would probably take a lot of time/more grinding. 4.) OMG MARIO ODYSSEY.
🤷
By the way, perfect example of what I'm talking about.
Haven't ran any of them yet, nor am I mod of any of them, but I noticed "Championship Pool" has a NES, SNES and GB page, but no series page for the games.
If you are playing games on your PC, recording the game play footage is super easy. Software like OBS can do this for ya. Recording game play from consoles requires (except PS4/Xbox1) some sort of capture card (which usually ain't too expensive unless it's HDMI).
You can find a timer here: http://livesplit.github.io/
That's pretty much the gist. Welcome.
Probably ask here: https://www.speedrun.com/pokemon/forum
Don't know much about pokemon my guess is either since it's the original japanese version and there is USA release, it's pretty rare and thus no has ran it, or at some point was determined to be functionally equivalent to the american/japanese blue version. Or something.
I'm not sure about XSplit, but in OBS you can put a limiter on your mic so it only picks up sounds that are so loud, basically. I use that to keep general noises from getting picked up by the mic. Didn't consider the delay... that is... unfortunate.
Got to 26 last night and died. RIP me; lol. Will try again tomorrow.
Did a 5 hour speedrun of Civilization on SNES yesterday. That's my new longest for now.
Just a side note, you can also use this link: https://www.speedrun.com/requestgame?series=roblox So when it's submitted, it will automatically be attached to the series.
Makes sense to me. I don't think there are actual criteria, it just appears to happen on a case-by-case basis, where it sometimes it works best and others not. But ya, just keep me posted.
Likely going to do Game Boy Tetris 2 runs. Noticed it doesn't have a separate page already; was gonna request but noticed the GB console is listed on here.
Should I submit my run on this page, or request one Tetris 2 (GB) similar to how Tetris 1 is?
I'm trying to avoid situations that I feel like that page set up puts itself in a potential for a future trap... I realize most of the platforms will probably never be run, but what if it's discovered there is a demand to do a 100% category? Double the number of categories? I mean, I use MISC when I can, but when you are dealing with a slew of platforms I can see both scenarios working out well for their games.

I think the MK1 board makes perfect sense. A pretty simple game, where basically every platform is the same general concept and you only really have to account for timer differences or platform specific issues in the rules. Then as a subcategory, you can do Any%/100%/Glitchless, whatever the situation may be. And that still grants room for an additional categories that need be.
I pretty much have Lemmings set up the same way because even though the game is basically running differently on every port, almost all them have the same idea with 120 identical levels (for the sake of a IL I'll eventually make, you can imagine the ease of not having to do that on more than one game page).
And then there are of course situations where you have basically the same game like Jeopardy for NES but like 4 versions; they are all the same gameplay more or less but are officially their own official releases.
There are plenty of instances though where independent game pages for console make sense to me, particularly if the person making the page originally is only actually knowledgeable about that one platform; sometimes though, it's not quite clear how to best approach a situation where you might have one game page for one console, where there are 14 other consoles going on.
@btrim I agree that (CPU) is basically meaningless. Just not sure what is the best call a clumping of some consoles.
Yeah, overkill it is a bit; but I'm just cautious. In general, I have a policy of sorta adding the obscure platforms as I (or someone else gets to them). But also, I try to be aware of the fact that I might someday have to add something to it. If I have the board sort of set out well, I can keep it simple, while also sort of having the groundwork appropriately laid out to add stuff, it that makes sense. I guess I just like to be somewhat prepared for contingencies and such; though it makes sense to me that many wouldn't run on a game on a platform if a faster version of exact same game exists.
But yea, I'll keep that in mind going forward. So far it hasn't really been an issue yet, but Tetris is one of those games that I've been playing around with (and using to test emulators and such with) so I was trying to think of sort of the best way to approach that. I suppose I could ask the series forum actually to get their input on that specific sort of thing.
As someone kinda new to discord myself, I think I might be able to explain.
On a given server, there are multiple chat rooms... usually looks something like, #general, #speedrun, #bugs, etc. Every hashtag is another chat on the server.
Then there are audio chats. They have the little speaker icon next to the time instead of hashtags. When you click on one of these, you enter an "audio chatroom." That will put you in the room, which will allow you to hear everyone talking. You still have to unmute your mic to talk in a room like that.
So given you don't click on those rooms and activiate your mic, then no, you don't have to worry about leaking audio out to strangers.
For a lot of situations that seems to make perfect sensible. But it can get unwieldy. Imagine game "Random Game" has been ported as such, and a page already exists for "Random Game (NES)":
"NES, SNES, Genesis, GB, PS2, PS, PSP, SMS, GameGear, PC, MS-DOS, Atari8bit, TG-16, X68000, PC-98, MSX, CD-i, 3DO, Amiga, C64, GBP, PSN, Mac, AtariST, CD32, Archimedes, CPC, ZXSpectrum, Satellaview, Apple-II, Lynx, Towns"
Given that the NES version already has a page and it's already console specific, and I'm trying to play the Amiga version, would requesting a "Random Game (CPU)" be an appropriate title if I was going to make a page specifically to cover all the old computer models. I figure this is probably alright, I just couldn't find any example of it already up; so just wanted to check if it was a kosher approach.
