So this is something that I knew would eventually come, but I wanted to say that to the staff, Default settings is as close to the middle as you can get it. If someone has the slider off by a single pixel, I won't deny your run. We deny it if it is crazy off (I've seen runs where people max it out lmao)

I'm only saying this because the Twitch Streamer Caseoh got 2nd place for Small Axe, and people are mad because his "default settings aren't pixel-perfect." This caused his speedrun comments to be flooded with dumb shit and invalid claims, with people angry at not only Caseoh but also Me. I had to lock and disable those comments because it was almost three pages worth of arguing and fighting.

These are the settings those who are mad are talking about. They look like they're off (by pixels), however, THESE are the default settings. (I did a clean wipe of my game to ensure they were the same.) So if people want to get mad at Caseoh, do some research first. This is a speedrunning forum, not a drama club. If we were going off of pixel perfect stuff, more than half of everyone's runs would be removed. Considering there is no "set to default" button, this is as close as we can get. So unless you want me to be a stickler and be like "Um actually you're 3 pixels off" for every single run, I'm going to continue to allow these runs

Anyway, it's snowing outside and I have better things to do than rant on a forum but for those who need to see this, you know who you are. Grow up, and stop claiming "Streamer advantage" over dumb shit.

Have a nice Monday everyone, and have fun with your runs.

Hey gamers!

Today's a super busy day for me, so if your runs take a bit to be verified, that's why! Currently writing this on my phone, but wanted to let everyone know what was going on!

Hey gamers!

We're currently working on separating the NoDeath% category into several different categories! The main idea is that NoDeath% will be kept the same, allowing all weapons, but each weapon will then get a separate sub category. So for example, if you want to main a hoe, there will be a category for that! Same for pitchforks, axes, knives, etc.

Please give us some time to set it up though, as it may take a few hours to do. Reminder, there are only a few of us here to moderate so hopefully you guys understand!

Hello everyone, Happy New Years!

Today, Myself, GamblingDie, and verity0001 were all added as mods! So Hurray! We'll be doing our best to clean this place and make sure it's up and running in tip top shape!

I also wanted to announce that we have a New category, thanks to Popular demand!

NoDeath%: See how many kills you can get in a row, without dying ONCE!

Have fun with that!

Anyway, I gotta go and celebrate New Year's, but keep grinding gamers, and have fun :D

The official halfsword account has become a mod

They will stand as a third party and can change rules / accept / decline any runs.
