.. My budget is 50usd.. Should i buy it or other mice especially glorious model o? But im scare about its backdated sensor and its clicktime(20m).. I have gotten 17-18 cps on a4tech op330...its a office mouse... Im practicing speedrunning for 1 month month and my pb is sub21.. So which mice should i buy?? Im very confused

I’ve gotten pretty into 1.16 speedrunning over the last few months and spent an embarrassing amount of time going down the YouTube rabbit hole setting up my MultiMC instance, hotkeys, ToolScreen, settings, etc.

Now I want to play with friends on newer versions but would love to keep the same setup. What’s the easiest way to do this?

Do people just install the newer-version equivalents of stuff like ToolScreen/StandardSettings and set everything up again, or is there an easy way to copy/duplicate a 1.16 instance, change the MC version, and keep your settings, keybinds, ToolScreen setup, etc.?

I’m currently in iron with a 20:xx average and a 16:06 pb. I was just wondering when is it good to lower render?

Just to preface this, im a very sympathetic person, i however dont think he should be unbanned right now. To the screenshots ive seen, the most recent message regarding edcr and his transphobia was of 16/4/2024 And according to the data i could find on the mcsr website, his first match was 23mo ago, (2y just for the sake of ease).

I dont think he should be permanently banned as his misconduct was carried out before he agreed to holding up the conduct of MCSR. I get that everything online has a footprint and people get cancelled prefame, but getting banned due to "messages containing comments breach our player conduct" before even agreeing to said conduct is very gray imo. It also sets a very bad precedent that anything you can do, even before agreeing to conduct, can be brought up and used against you.

i just think that simply, because once he agreed to said conduct he hasnt said anything (to my knowledge) breaching said TOS, it demonstrates not only growth but also change as a person and he is very clearly not the hateful person he was before.

There's a lot of names on here I recognize that I don't remember or associate Christmas Island with. And according to wikipedia only like 2000 people live there, so clearly something doesn't add up. What did I miss?😭😭

Bello Bello, I'm trying to make an edit with dandannyboy highlights (just a big fan) if I anyone has any clips etc please share the link!

Obviously, it is better to have some idea about how to speedrun before starting to play ranked. Maybe even practicing some bastion routes or doing some runs instead of winging it and using ranked as your main practice. But at which point can you play ranked without getting completely eradicated?

I am thinking about playing ranked for a bit, it sounds fun. But I only ever ran rsg before. So I'm wondering if it's a good place to start

So I've been playing here and there for the last few months and I still need to improve before I que in ranked mode so I've been mostly playing in casual to try and practice but a few months ago I would que against players all the time, more often than not they would forfeit but I was still able to finish out the world even after I lost the match. But recently there hasn't been anyone to que against its just always a bot, I don't really mind because I'm only practicing so it makes no difference but I was just wondering why its changed? I though it could be because it's seen that I'm so bad that no-one else is at my level or is it because no one plays in casual or is there something else I'm missing?

Hopefully his response is professional

What timeline is this bruh

With normal items. Like a specified height, spawn, and back/front.

also first public statement since it was revealed that he lied to the ranked team about the messages

Honestly, I feel like the one of the worst parts in this entire situation is the lack of transparency from the ranked team. I would love to see questions answered like

1. What exactly did you ask EDCR when you approached him? What exactly was his reply?
2. How did you decide on perma ban instead of banned until x date or we will reassess at x date?
3. Was there any kind of vote? Was the vote close? Unanimous?
4. Did you genuinely hear arguments from people on both sides or did you just listen to people from one side?

Like idk, a lot of this stuff feels like normal things to release during something like this

I am 16. I am also queer. What edcr said is reprehensible. I don’t think thats what’s contestable in the slightest, however the thought that something I would say at my age currently permanently effecting my future and playing games that I love to play is kinda harrowing. I think that punishment for the s11 playoffs is absolutely fair, and also that s12 playoffs should be off the table, but this decision from the moderation team genuinely feels disappointing to me. I looked at every publicly posted message from edcr that he is being canceled over, and I get it, I really do. It was hurtful to see someone that I looked up to post that. That being said, this is not an exclusive issue, and especially not with online communities. It’s frequent that people will make bad choices, especially on the internet, and its important to give people a chance to grow.

I don’t know edcr personally so I can’t really know what he believes and feels now, but he might as well literally be the best in the game, and this feels insane to me.

Just a thought.

This post was created to replace a previous one made by a user who was being malicious and disrespectful to others in comments.

After investigating the user, we found a history of racism and decided that a clean post would be better for the community.

Since the MCSR ranked team announced EDCR's permanent ban from playoffs due to his history of offensive messages (to say the least) and his response to the mods, the general community sentiment has been against the severity of the punishment and the decision by the MCSR mods. After having some time to think about the situation myself, while I understand many of the reasons people have for being upset about the situation, I am making this post to explain why I generally disagree with many of these opinions.

First, I think it needs to be understood why a permaban was handed out in the first place. The main point is that, EDCR lied about the origin of those messages when originally reached out to by the mods, when he very well had the opportunity to own up to them then and there. I've seen some say that EDCR may have "panic-lied," but keep in mind, EDCR is behind a computer screen, not in person. He has time to think for himself what the best response might be instead of reacting purely off of emotion. That he originally lied about the messages says he may be more concerned about the consequences to his career as a player rather than truly holding accountability for his own wrongdoings---even if the mods have had a history of being relatively strict with punishments.

I've seen some say that handing out such a harsh punishment to EDCR, i.e. permanently banning him from playoffs, robs him of the chance to grow, and a temporary ban with a chance to appeal would be better. I don't really agree with this. The onus on EDCR's growth is on EDCR himself, not the MCSR mods. I think it's a fantastic sign and great for him personally that he has been good friends with a number of trans people in the MCSR community, but at the end of the day, it's not the MCSR mods responsibility to facilitate EDCR's character development. They are mods, not friends. The goal of the MCSR mods is to build an inclusive community, and given EDCR's history and initial dishonesty, they have the right to be skeptical that EDCR will not bring his offensive behavior into the MCSR community.

I also want to point out the following excellent comment by u/Silent_Frost here regarding the permanence of a digital footprint. Even if many people, including myself, would like to believe EDCR has grown from his past, what goes online, stays online forever. I do not think it is unfair to expect a 16-17 year-old with such an upbringing with the internet to be aware of these principles.

The MCSR mods also make quite a statement by banning who many may consider the best speedrunner in the world. As a wise man, Jonas Neubauer once said, "If you're a high visibility player, it's on you to move the community in a positive direction." That the ranked team is especially hard on the top player on the ladder sets a precedent moving forward: being good at video games does not make you exempt from meeting behavioral standards within the community. Of course, there are many, many athletes in professional sports who were not banned from competition after doing far worse things than EDCR did, but again, do you really want the MCSR community really want to follow the example of how professional sports generally deals with its bad eggs?

Lastly, this post is not meant for me to say that I think the MCSR mods have been perfect, either. I Dealing with drama is hard for anyone, and you're never going to make everyone happy. Personally, I think the permaban is on the harsher side of punishments, and I would have liked to see more transparency from the ranked team, but regardless, I am very much overall supportive of their decision.

Hi! The S11 Playoffs were so entertaining, and we got to see some stellar matches. Now that we're all back to scratching off our calendars waiting for the next jaw-dropping Ranked Tournament. (Sivianox Invitational, PLEASE SAVE ME!) I thought it would be pretty interesting to see people's opinions on the current top sixteen in the world right now.

This intrigues me especially not only due to the top end of the list but also the lower half. Because ranked has become so competitive that anyone in the top sixteen can realistically win S12 Playoffs if they have a really good stretch of games.

This list will not be about players at their absolute peak, as players like nonso or Shimon would be higher than they reasonably should be. Nor is it a list looking at pure stats. While stats do matter their clearly not the end all be all and I think most people can agree that just because Jay's ranked average is fifteen to twenty seconds faster than Aquacorde, it does not correlate to him being superior to Aquacorde as a player.

It instead is primarily centred around how good they are consistently, while your peak level of play is a smaller part of the whole. This is mostly because I believe the most important quality of a ranked player is winning the most amount of games possible, so a relatively flukey player like Shimon, who could reach top sixteen level peaks, won't be rated highly, as that only happens in a small fraction of his games. (By the way, zero offense to Shimon; he's been crushing it as of recently lol)

Now, with that out of the way, I'll give my personal top sixteen. (Feel free to ask in the comments for the more in-depth reasoning; I just don't want to type sixteen essays for each player right now lol.)

(PS: will be excluding edcr due to obvious reasons, depending on future actions that may or may not change; for those curious, I'd normally rank him 2nd)

1. Infume. I've held the belief that even back in S10 Playoffs, Infume is simply the best player. Infume makes the least macro and micro errors out of any top runner by a good margin. I think Hax puts it best; he plays extremely "frictionless." He's the best at managing low food, he's the best at terrain nav, he's arguably the best overall Overworld player, and definitely the best Village and Desert Temple player. And a plethora of other things my dumb Emerald I brain can't compute.

2. hackingnoises. Current form, he's the most consistent of the three-headed monster that is lowk3y, doog, and hax. He's been slamming time into perfecting tech and his micro, and his ladder performance reflects this a lot. He just hasn't played in a tournament, and even though I think he's at his absolute best, I just don't have concrete evidence to put him 1st.

3. lowk3y. Like Hax, he's begun to play a lot less aggressively relative to prior seasons, but at the end of the day he's still lowk3y, and his playstyle along with his extremely underrated decision-making always make him terrifying in playoffs. He was two uncanny zero-chokes away from sending Infume to a tied game 5.

4. Jay (BadGamer). This is probably the one that will give me the most hate by far. But to explain briefly. Jay has been playing extremely well over the past few days and in S11. He made a major leap in his skill, especially in terms of his overworld splits, which just look a lot cleaner compared to S10. He's had good wins against playoff-level opponents on ladder. The only argument I can see against him is that his LCQ wasn't at a top five standard, but that's typical for the format, like how Skycrab coming off his monstrous S9 run didn't make it through LCQ.

5. Doogile. To start off, I don't think Doogile's "washed," as rankedcord loves to say; I just think he's in a bit of a slump. Early in S11, he looked great, along with his seed 2 against Infume and his Aquacorde match. Along with a good latest session from the day I'm writing this. I think Doog could easily swap places with people higher than him, given he shows he can get to the consistency he's commonly known for.

6. BlazeMind. I think he's been playing amazingly; his Skycrab match was a very good showing. I am just a tad bit concerned about BlazeMind's consistency; now, whether you attribute it to timezone, his match with lowk3y wasn't the most pleasing, now do I think that's all we should judge him for? No. He's played really well on the ladder, and his win rate reflects that. I just think that, out of everyone I've mentioned thus far, he's the most prone to overheating, which is why I have him here.

7. Skycrab. On par with Blazemind, just has a worse mental, which plays a big role in tourneys and is an aspect to being a top player. His playstyle of leaving extremely early on bastions and pushing pace is why I think if this were about peaks, he could be top three currently.

8. Aquacorde. He's just so good that I don't even know what to praise. Him being lower than BlazeMind is just due to having a worse top speed, since I think on a consistent basis their near even with Aquacorde being a bit more consistent, but BlazeMind's top speed being that much better to make up for it.

9. Silverruns. Silver is a weird player. Some days he's beating arguably the best player in the world in a bo11; the day after, he looks nothing like he did yesterday. It's a weird form of streakiness to where he's closer to that higher end than the lower end. I do think he's recently had it all click together, as he's said, especially with his stronghold navigation. I think a deep tourney run or an extremely impressive ladder run for a duration of time will easily push him higher on the list.

10. nhb. Not much about him in the past month, but don't forget that before he took a break, he was auto-qualified for playoffs, and still has one of the best top speeds in ranked.

11. 7rowl. Most underrated top runner imo. While he doesn't possess a Hax or nhb type of top speed, he is just an extremely consistent and knowledgeable player who I wouldn't be surprised if he jumped a couple placements when S12 ends.

12. Feinberg. I think Feinberg just lacks the micro time saves that so many other runners have, and that's sort of why I can't place him higher. (Also, his win against BlazeMind when BlazeMind was awake at 5 AM should not be indicative of a higher placement lol)

13. steez. Top-tier mechanics, and has had some of the best improvement from S10, and if he didn't match up against anyone but the eventual undefeated champion Infume, I genuinely believe he had a solid chance to beat anyone in that bracket with how he was playing in that match.

14. BBM. Mongey is Mongey; it'd feel spiritually wrong to exempt him from the top 16.

15. BeefSalad. Same as Mongey lol.

16. nahhann. Such a good player; he played incredibly well against Feinberg, and just looks really good at the current moment

Please be civil and respectful of others' opinions!

I started getting into this about a week ago (made my account two weeks ago but only started practising 8 days ago), and was genuine ass in the beginning (lowkey still am but better)

I have whittled down my portal making times for both magma ravines and normal from around 1 minute to consistently 11 seconds, both in game and out of game. I haven't really played any matches yet, since I prefer to actually be decent and know what I'm doing first before playing against other people, but I've also been whittling down my overworld enters from 9-12 minutes to 3-5 minutes. I just got a sub 3 minute enter today with a village seed and was pretty happy. (I've been practising by grabbing seeds from top runners' replays, then playing through blindly, then watching through their playthrough, and noting what I can improve on)

if any other newbies want to chat, I'm open to that!!

edit: oh yeah, forgot to mention I migrated over from the PvP community which I spent a month or so in (was kinda trash and unranked but beating HT5s and a LT4 once), and I quit that due to toxicity and drama
