GTAce @gtace.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Just realized today is my 9 year anniversary of my first ever Twitch stream, which also is when I officially became a speedrunner. I can't believe it's been that long already. Even though it's taken a backseat for the past while, I'm still very happy to be in this community and do this hobby. Ty! 1190
GTAce @gtace.bsky.social · 05/10/2026The people that use it are usually talented enough to create great things without it. I feel they should know better by now, especially in this community. 070
GTAce @gtace.bsky.social · 05/10/2026personally hate the people that use Claude. I get it: it saves time. And the intentions are usually good. But genAI is unethical, and I can’t use/support projects that decide to use it. I’ve seen Claude literally steal my friends’ code. It’s just a plagiarism machine like all other genAI programs. 180
GTAce @gtace.bsky.social · 05/10/2026The “change” I want is quite simple: I want people to stop using genAI slop. I understand people have put lots of work into these projects (which I appreciate), but if you’re gonna use AI in a project targeting a very non-AI crowd, you should expect backlash. I will make it clear that I don’t … 160

GTAce @gtace.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Only submitting All Night Nippon for this AGDQ because it's the one thing I really want to get in right now. I'll have more submissions for SGDQ. 0130
GTAce @gtace.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I think any use of genAI is immoral and immediately tarnishes any project no matter how small its use is. I know it's harsh, but it has to be if you want change. Because you brought it up, yes I will never use RankedRuns and have deleted my TheRun profile, and will encourage others to do the same. 270
GTAce @gtace.bsky.social · 03/10/2026First of all, I said “using Claude AI slop”, not “these sites are AI slop”. Second of all, you’re assuming I’m talking about specific sites when I intentionally didn’t call out any of them. I personally try to boycott anything that uses Claude, but don’t care enough to publicly shame them. 130
GTAce @gtace.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Ok so all 3 other speedrun leaderboard projects I've been following made in the past couple years all use Claude AI slop in one way or another. Nothing fucking matters anymore dude I hate everything. 4382
GTAce @gtace.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I hope so. I just know a couple people who feel like their projects that use this data are in jeopardy, and I don’t want to see their hard work go to waste. Thats all. 000
GTAce @gtace.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I want to make it clear I’m not fighting for SRC (I literally own the handle @SRCsucks back when I used Twitter), I’m fighting for it’s data to continue to be used by others without any potential interference. 100
GTAce @gtace.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Ok, sounds great. That doesn’t exist yet. In the meantime, I don’t want these important websites made by people who have spent years developing incredibly useful tools off of SRC data (like TheRun) be destroyed. 200
GTAce @gtace.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Well until there is another website with all the data moved onto it I’d rather this historical archive and the use of it not be threatened by corporate bullshit. No one needs to use it ever again, but unfortunately it’s (or at least was) a valuable resource of information for people. 100
GTAce @gtace.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Regardless these changes will put other important sites that use SRC data in jeopardy. 100
GTAce @gtace.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I argue this is incredibly important to fight because they’re trying to monopolize speedrunning leaderboards and threatening speedrunning history and documentation with these changes. If this goes the way they want, you won’t be able to just “move to a different website”. 120
GTAce @gtace.bsky.social · 02/10/2026SRC has been incredibly important for speedrunning history, information, and accuracy. After Elo took over, they’ve slowly jeopardized all of this. Lots of content has been removed because of their decisions. This is the last straw. If this goes through, SRC will be completely useless. Fight this. 34215

GTAce @gtace.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I’ve been losing a lot of respect for people recently for either using AI slop or collaborating with horrible people. How hard is it to just not? 0211

GTAce @gtace.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Ever try to stream speedruns again after a significant hiatus and get hit with the Internet/Livesplit/Capture Card not working properly wombo combo? Really makes me feel like the universe is telling me to never show my face again. 1100

GTAce @gtace.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I'm happy to report that I'm really enjoying my new job so far. It's such a huge stress reliever to have a full-time position and actual insurance for the first time in my life. Still adjusting to this new normal so not sure when I want to try adding streaming back into my life, but hopefully soon. 0250
