Santa Cruz, CA, USAIf possible I'd like the option to choose whether the current leaderboard times for a particular game are added to "Time w/ loads" or "Time w/o loads" when updating a game to have separate load times. Currently it adds all times on the board to "Time w/o loads" no matter which method you choose as the default timing method (which I assume is used for sorting the runs, but I'm not to sure). I'm very un-enthused about potentially having to manually swap the times from one to the other for all 400 odd runs on the ASAMU boards.
The level leaderboards have served that purpose for the community in the past. They are sorted by the three major categories. If those don’t meet what you’re looking for would you mind elaborating on what changes you’d like to see?
Well. Unfortunately there isn’t much else to do other than practice your release timing and grapple position.
Have you set you fps to be locked at 31? With out lowering it and setting it to vsync.
Hey! Nice find! This is a technique we’re familiar with but unfortunately it doesn’t have any applications in runs since the grapple speed is pretty slow.
Hi! Requesting super-mod for Coma (https://www.speedrun.com/coma)
I have a run 21 days pending and the only mod has been offline for 3 months. No attached social media has a messaging system besides PSN, which I lack access too.
Is there a point where anyone uses them in the runs so far?
I don't think that there is a discord right now but feel free to start one. I'm not to sure about the retry skip my self.
Okay so now it doesn't pause or completely remove loads it just slows down? It's hard to tell but the timer definitely doesn't remove the same loading blocks as before
I'm hoping that someone else can check the load remover to see if it starts timing again when transitioning to canyon ambush. In my game it pauses on load into the level then stays paused until you finish it. I've tested it with the same result every time.
Personally I don’t see the point of having reset skips as a different category. A lot of games have something like that and if it turns out that the time save is indeed arbitrary then there won’t be a need for another categorie. I do like the Idea of having difficulty variables.
On a side note is the current patch for the lugaru story the same as beta 5? I’d like to start running that as well but I want to know what category it is first.
I've been talking to people on the wolfire discord and it turns out that lower difficulties run at a slower game (speed 80% and 90% respectively). Other than the simulation speed there is also a setting for difficulty it self going from 0 to 50 to 100 on the respective difficulty levels.
What I would like to know is if there is any support to simply run all versions at 100%? As it stands now the game will still believe that you are playing in "casual" mode even if you turn the speed to 100%. This could make it difficult for mods to very that runs are done on the intended speed settings as a small increase like 5-6% would be hard to notice.
Running all of the difficulties at 100% would ensure that nothing like that could happen. And in case you're wondering about the difficulty setting it self. Playing at anything under 50 is considered "casual" and anything under 100 is considered "hardcore" only 100% difficulty and speed allow the "expert setting to be enabled.
Another option would be to make players open the settings after the first lines of dialogue starts and then start timing after that dialogue is skipped. If the player is running at the pre-baked difficulty speeds and difficulty settings it will be reflected there.
Despite there not really being a category I've started doing some runs for the Overgrowth story on easy. I'm guessing that the two new categories are going to be Overgrowth story and Lugaru Story with sub sections for the three respective difficulties. I'm looking forward to running both categories :)
I clocked in my first O-Story (easy) run at 52:13.58 I started on the first input on White Flags and stopped when the game boots you back to the level select screen. I think that the ending split could be when the last dialogue starts though since you don't really have to do anything after that.
I believe that having moderators who are active in the community is vital to the success of a speed game. Categories and rules for runs are not static and when new glitches, skips, or techniques are found, they need to be discussed by the community to either be implemented into new or existing categories, or to be disallowed. In our current state this action is not so easily taken. In an extreme case, all of the currently run categories may have to be reworked, and with out a moderator in the discord, that could become a lengthy proccess. It is for these reasons that I accept Kim's nomination and also request that I be added to the moderation team. I thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

I've created a Discord that I would like to be used by us, the ASAMU runners. I'm hopeful that we can use this to grow as a community, share routing tips, and even organize some races. I implore you all to check it out at the link below. I don't have any real experience with arranging a discord server so please bare with me as I get everything settled.
