Accepted, but you have some frame drops and audio issues that you should get fixed if you want to keep doing speedruns :)
I would be very hesitant to accept a submission like this if it was for an important place on the leaderboard (e.g. top 3)
Retimed to 25s817ms. Congrats :) Now imagine if you used your vigil ability to instantly take down the grunt. Would have saved you like 3 or 4 seconds
Alright so let me clarify. I'm the one that verified all the recent runs. I saw that there were some older runs were rejected for not putting the MIA in the pod, so I talked about it with leftfornova, and decided that, since the game does count rescues completed when you do not put the rescue in the pod, the runs that don't put the rescue in the pod SHOULD be approved. So I personally retimed all the old runs that were rejected and approved them. And since there is no rule that specifies you HAVE to put the rescue in the pod, the run doesn't break any rules.
Me personally, I really don't consider it behind a paywall, since you don't HAVE to pay for it, you can just get bronze once in any maelstrom and buy 12 new gadgets. And so far there have only been 3 released. And the game already has so many separate categories(most of them still with no runs). Adding more categories just for one gadget isn't really a great idea I think, it would just result in MORE empty categories.
If your time tracker is only bothering you and stressing you out, you don't HAVE to use it. I time the run myself anyway :)
