It's obviously not a solution for every game, but emulating the virtual console versions of n64 games through dolphin works great.

Twin Galaxies is still stuck in the past back when you didn't really get anything more complex than arcade pacman and I'm honestly not sure if whoever is on their 'judging' panel has played much of anything newer

Historically small speedrunning communities for games have always decided collaboratively on what they consider things like 'what is completion' and 'what makes sense as categories,' and in this case if it's more fun for the people involved to decide to play it a very specific way then they should be able to do it like that

It'd be a problem if it was something one runner decided to install secretly, but this isn't the case; it'd also be an issue if there were people in the community who didn't think it was a good idea, but that also isn't the case apparently.

Honestly I still think it's less that this thread needs to have the rando stuff taken out of it but rather that there's enough rando discussion, information, and livechat that it's probably worth it having its own thread to have one altogether resource for it

yeah, make a 'no major glitches' category and put all the big ridiculous stuff that lets you circumvent most of the game in it, then let the regular run be the game mostly as intended with small tricks and strats allowed

I don't think RWG being loving horrible is what's in question, it's if the same goes for gravitron

still though it should take more than an afternoon to investigate and that "differing opinions" line is a real loving bad look when you're talking about literal nazis

(after research establishes the truth) specify that grav is no longer running at the event
apologize genuinely and profusely about the 'differing opinions' statement and get a new pr person so that gently caress up isn't repeated

coolmatty should probably take a breath and stop with all these extremely upset posts and/or get someone to put them into official statements instead of that whole mess

Waffles Inc. posted:

I mean, this is absolutely not the tone people are taking

Seems like everyone super online enough to follow this sort of thing on an hour by hour basis was shooting from the hip and a lot of the current reaction feels fueled by the strong emotions the now deleted tweet created

they also put up a public notice on their website about it saying that they were taking no action and that they don't ban for, verbatim, "differing opinions"

in regards to speedrunners who are so much literal nazis that they were offhandedly talking about "the jewish question"

People are upset because, in their eyes, this is the last straw for lovely things happening at/with gdq that seemingly go unpunished + it looked like it was yet another screamingly obvious bad thing going unpunished that they only backpedaled on when there was massive uproar. You're missing the entire perspective.

Like, this poo poo has happened so many times in recent years with nazi and alt-right behavior going unchecked under the mealy mouthed umbrella of being "different opinions." To a hell of a lot of people this broke what little trust they had left in GDQ after years of people being lovely on-camera. GDQ needs to do much more to work to get it back.

UraniumAnchor posted:

Is getting new, reliable information 'backpedaling'? Serious question.

e: To clarify I'm curious what about that you thought qualifies as 'backpedaling'.

I don't personally think it was backpedalling, but I'm seeing a hell of a lot of people I know who aren't as up on GDQ stuff still super angry and I've been following why they're upset.

The optics were as follows: after news about nazi speedrunners came out, GDQ announced publically they would do nothing with a statement including the aforementioned awful AWFUL phrase 'differing opinions.' About a half hour later they posted a followup tweet clarifying that they do in fact think nazis are bad and please anyone give us some more proof so we can do anything about it (which, on top of coolmatty's personal requests for the same, felt to a lot of people that GDQ was asking everyone to do their investigation for them). After some extremely simple investigation (a mix of 'using google' and 'anyone who has ever interacted with either person confirming that they were shitheads') GDQ then finally said 'okay yeah they're banned' with absolutely no additional messaging apologizing for their earlier fuckups.

Is all of this true? Not especially -- again I personally know y'all are better than that because I've been following for years and have talked with y'all here and there. Is this how it looks to a hell of a lot of people? absolutely 100%

flatluigi

I honestly think that there should be a serious re-examination of the 'be quiet about enforcement decisions' policy because it absolutely has not helped the public perception of GDQ and it has made it extremely easy for the public at large to think that stuff like the MAGA hats or the repeated deadnaming and transphobic jokes that end up on stream were uncorrected and unpunished. Hell, people to this day think the "go step in front of a bus" line was by the announcer or runner of that game (and not someone unapproved who just grabbed a mic from someone on the couch) because there was no clear messaging about it.

that subreddit is full of people who have lovely vendettas against a ton of people in the speedrunning community -- it's literally why it was made -- and gdq staff are their favorite targets right after narcissa wright (for being trans) and some banjo kazooie runner whose name I can't remember (for some personal drama and a breakup literally five years ago)
