For the sake of accuracy and runs being very close in time, millisecond timing will be enforced from now on. Instead of when the timer was stopped by the runner, the run will be retimed based on the exact frame the objective is completed (which will always be when the boss disappears from frame, except for All Achievements which will be when the final achievement's pixels appear on frame). Record placement has not been affected.
This change has been retroactively applied to older runs. The only major differences are Voyages Hidden Ending and All Achievement runs which have gone down a second (due to human reaction stopping the timer late), and many runs which have "increased in time", though in reality it's simply more precise.
This new timing method will be mentioned in the rules as well. If a runner submits the run without millisecond timing, mods/verifiers will change the time to find the milliseconds.
PM me for question and queries. Thank you for playing : )
I ran this game and submitted runs of this game. That being both any%s and the both characters run.
But I found an easy exploit of right clicking the game and pressing play to skip the card sequences, and therefore alleviating some time there, but the "done" buttons stays on screen (along with the entirety of puzzles) and when you press done while still in game in will force the game to stop and let you spin again.
I'll just link the super duper fast Highlight here:
So here's the bottom line question: Is this cheating? Are my runs valid? I felt like posting it here and seeing if there's any opinions instead of leaving it to a single mod to decide whether or not to approve it. Really, there's no hard feelings if they're rejected, and I'm sure it would be quite a buzz kill to have some dude take out the WR to three of the four categories like this.
I think it's great that a person can discover new games that are similar to what they already like, and speedrun them and all that. Every game is unique so I also completely understand underpopulated
But as a user looking for a genre or a user who just submitted a game and adding genres to their specific game, there's so many genres that are unnecessarily listed, or rather are spelled slightly different, it's rather a chore.
I don't have any authority or ability to change anything, so I politely request anyone to consider cleaning up the genres, and/or perhaps making it so while adding genres to a game, suggestions pop up in a window, like an auto-complete for convenience.
I'm sorry if this is read as somewhat condescending or similar, I'm not completely familiar with the current culture of this website. <3
