iirc we went with RTA originally because IGT had some significant timing issues, at least on ESA's practice room PCs, but I don't remember the details...

I recently set up the boards for The Pathless https://www.speedrun.com/the_pathless and added another runner as a regular moderator, but I must have missclicked something because I became a regular moderator too, leaving the boards with no super mods. Is it possible to revert that change?
You can skip the replay on the first frame
Yeah, that's the one I'm talking about. You can see an enemy, a cable over the enemy and a camera immediately to the right of the cable on the ceiling: the trap will activate if you or the enemy are below the camera. If you cut the cable, no matter what happens the camera won't activate anymore; if you don't cut the cable, you can roll past the camera to avoid being spotted, but running below it or having the enemy below it will activate it. If you're attempting the skip but you're getting locked in the room, it means either you or the enemy ran directly below the camera at some point: make sure you either cut the cable before anyone goes below the camera, or kill the enemy from the right side and then roll past the camera to avoid being detected.
The vast majority of people in the community prefer stable seed in runs to allow for more precise and mechanically difficult strats instead of constant improvisation. What's more or less impressive is very opinable, but you're free to do runs without stable seed and gauge interest in the community. As for hard mode, I'm not sure what you mean? We have Normal and Hard categories so you can just pick whichever you prefer. You're always welcome to join the discord, discuss things and post your progress in any official or unofficial speedruns you decide to pursue, as that's the best way to get people interested in random seed runs if you care about the competition.
If you or the enemy in that room go past the camera on the ceiling, the sequence will activate. To skip it you'll need to either jump over the enemy and cut the cable before killing him, or rolling past him, killing him with a slash left and then rolling past the camera. You can check how we do it in speedruns, we always skip it.
There's interest for several extra categories such as Psychotherapy, All Achievements and NG+, you can expect polls and rule discussions in the discord soon.
You're welcome to join the discord and discuss things there with us! As for extra categories, there are definitely a few people interested in running Psychotherapy, All Achievements, NG+ and other different runs, so naturally they'll make it on the boards if there is competition.
We treat One Life as a subcategory (as you can see we have Any% One Life on the boards). Not many people have shown interest in running One Life so we only added Any% OL because it was the only one with some competition, though a few people have done All Cells and Reverse Event Order runs as well. You're welcome to join the discord and share your progress in any speedruns you may be doing with us, even if they aren't on the boards.
Hi! I and a few other runners made a discord and have been discussing strats and runs, it would be great if we could gather over here. https://discord.gg/jSM5mYA
Could be an enemy as well, maybe one of those that charge at you and land on the walls, I don't remember very well. Hopefully you can find something interesting with it <:
All I remember is it was just an upward slash or something like that, it's been a long while. It may just be a "crush-type" OOB where I got squeezed above an object while it was exploding, since I was destroying one of those objects that drop stuff.
yo Sorry for exhuming an old post, but I noticed no one has found any OOB, and I did go out of bounds in my casual playthrough maybe it can be useful for runs (°w°)=b
