Groovelord Neato posted:breath of the wild ever allowing amiibos was stupid. Literally any RPG. I know FF1 NES has about a 1/10 chance of surviving the initial grind and Marsh Cave, and then a coin flip at Earth Cave, Ordeals, and Ice Cave. Even if you make it through all that, you can still irretrievably lose the run to bad Kary or Chaos luck, and can lose up to 4 minutes at Tiamat if your 1/8 instakill doesn't go off.

I don't really have a problem with a start-scumming mod as a category, tbh. It makes the speedrun more accessible.

1-800-DOCTORB posted:Symphony of the Night has a faster route that nobody has been able to replicate in a run which depends on an incredibly unlikely meal ticket drop which then depends on the meal ticket randomly becoming a toadstool which then depends on the RNG damaging yourself in just the right way to make a jump. Should SOTN runners use a mod that forces all of these conditions to occur 100% all the time? That's not start-scumming.

Or like, PSP Final Fantasy 1, where the one glitch is ‘immediately get endgame equipment, then proceed to play normally’ which has no interesting routing or strategies outside of the one glitch.

Crotch Bat posted:Not that she's been a part of the community for some time but narcissa got perma'd today for what sounds like a bunch of lesser offenses wrapped up and delivered as a big one. Really strange tale on this one, going from essentially the face of speedrunning several years ago to ending up like she did, which is a person deeply in need of help. Yeah, Narcissa's really interesting explaination videos are what got me interested in speedrunning int he first place, and it's really loving sad that she hasn't had the kind of support she clearly needs.

Crotch Bat posted:GDQ is evolving right alongside Twitch in the "don't ever for any reason do anything even remotely close to possibly being in consideration for maybe being something that someone, somewhere, in one of the multiverses considers offensive". It is astounding what Twitch is up to these days in an attempt to almost completely sterilize the platform of any remotely interesting personalities.

Honestly the post "this is bad if true but we can't act on it because it's falsifiable, send more evidence of you have it" would be fine, the dumb equivocation line is the problem.

Honestly most of the posts in that thread are pretty decent. The chuds and nazi apologists and crap are widely downvoted, and basically everyone agrees that at east they should be banned from interacting with the community. People are just weird about he SANCTITY OF THE LEADERBOARDS.

Most of the time they genuinely can't tell that they're not funny and nobody is convinced because they didn't have a lot of social skills in the first place and what they did have had melted out their ears from never interacting with real people.

Yeah people have somehow talked themselves around to the idea that the problem is something wildly different than it is, which is that coolmatty made a dumb post, then after fixing te mistake got insanely defensive anyway and tried to make it about himself. It's standard lovely 'ally' behavior: dismiss the concerns of vulnerable groups as irrational, then monopolize the conversation. What it isn't is 'the official gdq position is nazis are ok', and it never was.
