i always see all these different types of speedrunning but i never knew the difference so now that ive started to speedrun myself so i was wondering what the differences between the 4 of them are.

ss = set seed (with glitches)
ssg = set seed glitchless 
rs = random seed
rsg = random seed glitchless

difference between ss ssg rs and rsg
