I can't believe with this one faux pas the entire argument has gone pear-shaped.

But really, coolmatty should step aside and let someone with more conviction take over. He won't but it's be nice and a good way to make amends for his repeated bad PR decisions

First someone posted a 5:25 and the dev on discord was all "woah nice wr" then i popped in like "well actually i have this better time already" so I had it coming.

There's no vid of the 3 minute time tho so i have world's recording

One of their other games, Bobo Robot, I have the best recorded time as well. I posted my old run in the discord and they were all "pretty good time for not knowing x and y"

Turns out x is that if you press both the jump bindings you get extra height and y is that igt stops ticking when you're paused but the game doesn't stop so you pause for all the downtime.

Can you explain this? Because what I'm hearing is "run time is literally just the time you spend actively pushing buttons."

Basically yeah. There's a guard who doesn't let you past until you stare for a while so uu leave the game paused there. You also keep holding items through resets/deaths so you pause while deathwarping. Riding elevators as well.

I have videos but nothing uploaded with the new tech I should fix that

Same, but there's also a point at which where if you've spoken up a number of times and seen literally nothing come of it, you're going to say "alright, this isn't going to be redeemable with the current organizers" and go volunteer for PUWP instead

So maybe you want to organize an event of this magnitude with angry nerds sending you constant hatemail no matter what you do?

I mean, you're basically stooping to the same level with your rhetoric as the people you seem hate so much. While GDQ has made some stupids in the last years I'm sure there are more deserving anger targets than Coolmatty.

e: Also it's kind of sad that whenever this thread gets a lot of posts it's invariably because of someone being a dick somewhere and not speedrunning fun times.

If angry nerds are gonna send you hatemail no matter what you do maybe you ban the bigots since you're getting hatemail either way and might as well do some good in the world?

While I don't think GDQ is handled this particularly well, don't call the dude with a bad leg pear-shaped.

I'm not going to speak for him, but his leg has had a huge impact on his day to day.

I guess GDQ doesn't have a rule against being a bigot as long as you're not directly harassing or intimidating people on-site, but it seems pretty easy to argue that people who are openly bigots, like that person with their bio and tweets, inherently make the space less safe for their targets and that should count.
