Soap @soapagent.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I was not aware of their previous attempt to remove the CC license in 2021. Very interesting history, and it does give hope that with some backlash they might undo it again. But we've all known that they are for-profit first and foremost, and corporations are never happy about changing their tune 000
Soap @soapagent.bsky.social · 02/10/2026therun.gg/blog/leaderb... I guess this shouldn't be surprising in light of elo io's subtle attempts to brand as "Speedrun", implying that they own and have rights to the concept and activity of speedrunning I don't even know what to do about this, since it's hard to just jump ship somewhere elsetherun.ggLeaderboards and speedrun.com’s new terms of servicespeedrun.com replaced its terms of use on 1 October 2026 and dropped the Creative Commons licence. What changed, why it matters for runners and community tools, and what you can do. 110
Soap @soapagent.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I've probably saved a couple hundred hours of my time by blocking ads on YouTube on desktop for 10 years and mobile for 3 years 000
Soap @soapagent.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Now that the time of day is editable after the fact, the Super Scribblenauts Any% WR History is more accurate 🥳 Previously one of my runs wasn't included in this list because Aero changed the date on one of their PBs and it defaulted to midnight UTC, pushing it back to the previous day in US time. 000
Soap @soapagent.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Haven't decided what I'm going to submit to AGDQ27 yet but I think reusing Streets of Rogue co-op, Wario Land II, and Scribblenauts are all good. I'm also considering SoR singleplayer (Any% SSA is pretty easy to finish runs with even if they suck) but I don't want to detract from co-op's odds... 000
Soap @soapagent.bsky.social · 15/09/2026SoR: I got a PB that was 8 seconds off WR. I don't like how much more impactful some RNG details are in this category (some mission types are way worse for the pacifist char and you want to not roll them). We'll see if I get there 💣: I've gotten 3 WRs in a row, and have a final goal to work towards 000
Soap @soapagent.bsky.social · 13/09/2026formerly it was confusing because the time and date would use UTC, but if you adjusted it then it would strip the time and default to midnight UTC, meaning it could technically be off by a day depending on your timezone. but now it begs the question of "do you put the start time or the end time?" 001
Soap @soapagent.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I often (mentally) complain about how elo io likes to change random design elements on SR.C, and this new submission page almost looks like another example, but I'm glad that you can finally set the time of day yourself. this is something I've wanted for a while (although tbf I never sent feedback) 100
Soap @soapagent.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I've been on a road trip for the past 10 days. Bringing a DS was a wonderful decision, as a chud gamer who can't drive In 2 days, I shall: - Take back the Streets of Rogue WR that I lost right before leaving - Recast my Bomberman 2 speedrun notes, then stream attempts for WR (I've been practicing!) 020
Soap @soapagent.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I hate the Mister because it's caused headaches for speedrun leaderboards. Ironically I love my DS flashcart though 030
Soap @soapagent.bsky.social · 25/08/2026It took a couple months, but I managed to get all of Streets of Rogue's single player records! I don't expect these to stay here forever, and it's not like I came up with any new strats, but I think I've made a mark by just pushing the game further. Now I can focus on other things for a bit? 060
Soap @soapagent.bsky.social · 24/08/2026I got sidetracked because somebody decided to beat two of my pacifist runs, one by a large margin. I only now managed to take both of them back, after a couple days. my total is back at 23/24 wouldn't be surprised if that somebody keeps distracting me… I hope I can just keep 24 WRs for a while lol 010
Soap @soapagent.bsky.social · 21/08/2026I could say "nah this is good enough", already having 2nd in the final category, but I can't let my 2nd place be a minute slower lol WR gets a god seed which is now used in 4 seeded categories; bad news for me, as I have to hope to randomly roll another seed that's just as good and play it better 100
Soap @soapagent.bsky.social · 21/08/2026got the WR in the second main category. this one took longer than the previous run because you want good level layouts, more so than a run with the optimal traits because you can't teleport to far away places. still managed to cut almost 20 seconds from FWR again 1 resetting grind left, surely! 100
Soap @soapagent.bsky.social · 18/08/2026wow… I actually got the world record in the main category, by 20 seconds! this is the first run I've ever completed as Werewolf in this category, since it's so hard to get runs past the first 3 zones (or even the first 3 levels). I still have 2 more WRs to get… 📼▶️ chargedgarlic.net/video.php?id...chargedgarlic.netStreets of Rogue: Any% Normal (Seedless) in 6:15 IGTrun by SoapAgent on 2026/08/17 120
Soap @soapagent.bsky.social · 15/08/2026I got Mutator% 4:57 vs FWR 5:16 (the strats weren't that different, just a bit more fine tuned, sort of like all the singleplayer WRs I have in this game). honestly the blank category below it (Mutator% SSA Seedless) is probably not going to be hard, since I already beat that by 1s with this run lol 000
Soap @soapagent.bsky.social · 14/08/20263 more submitted... two were free WRs but I tried to do them justice once I found that good seed that I was looking for. the other one is only 7 seconds from WR, and didn't get unheard of good luck, so I'll probably try to beat it next time I play. then...? the demotivation can no longer be avoided. 100
Soap @soapagent.bsky.social · 11/08/2026+4 WRs. These were easy I guess; just had to learn the seed that the previous WR holder used for all 4 of the (pretty similar) runs. What remains are 2 more up in the air categories, which I need to find a good seed for, and 5 more difficult and potentially mind-numbing random seed categories. 110
Soap @soapagent.bsky.social · 11/08/2026my Streets of Rogue conquest is peaking... the really hard and reset-heavy categories are basically all that remain (not counting pacifist seeded). it's annoying to run when you're not getting what you need, or if you are, something terrible may happen at any moment (level layouts/missions/death) 010
Soap @soapagent.bsky.social · 31/07/2026I've been uhhhh playing a lot of this game recently (around 67 hours, according to Steam and if you subtract a lil bit of afk and a lil bit of an unrelated game). just been putting them on YT unlisted because it's a lot of run spam and YT is too convenient when I don't want to blast my socials 000
Soap @soapagent.bsky.social · 31/07/2026guy who had the WR beat it about 2 weeks later, so I beat it about 2 days later (just got another lucky seed lawl) 100
Soap @soapagent.bsky.social · 26/07/2026I was gonna call you the goat. Fortunately you're still the goat 030
Soap @soapagent.bsky.social · 15/07/2026While playing a different category for fun (this game has a lot of them), I got another WR. This category is Any% Custom, where you play with a character built using the character creator (without making the character "overpowered" by the game's standards) 📼▶️ chargedgarlic.net/video.php?id...chargedgarlic.netStreets of Rogue: Any% Custom (Seedless) in 3:50 IGTrun by SoapAgent on 2026/07/14 000
Soap @soapagent.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Wasn't expecting a WR at all, but while playing Any% SSA I got a lucky seed for Cardio SSA (Cardio means you can't get 2 traits that make teleporting easier, and SSA means you use a unlockable and more OP character variant), beating the current WR by 32 seconds! 📼▶️ chargedgarlic.net/video.php?id...chargedgarlic.netStreets of Rogue: Cardio% SSA (Seedless) in 6:21 IGTrun by SoapAgent on 2026/07/04 010
Soap @soapagent.bsky.social · 02/07/2026It's interesting that they ditched the per-minigame scores and went back to the old flow system. It's kind of nice because I fell off Bits and Bops diamond perfects (keep in mind they hadn't added the indicator yet), and stopped at 96 flow in RH Megamix. Micro perfection gets exhausting after a bit 000
Soap @soapagent.bsky.social · 02/07/2026Rhythm Heaven Groove is cool. I played through the first 6 remixes and got all medals along the way. Might stream the journey through postgame/all perfects when I have time, although it's a genre that demands focus and I imagine that the people who are interested in the game are probably playing it 100
Soap @soapagent.bsky.social · 29/06/2026welp that's RTA world record! This run had some quite decent luck, and even with some misplays I managed to close it out. unfortunately you won't see this on SR.C unless you manually sort by RTA (once it's verified) since the IGT is slower than my PB 📼▶️ chargedgarlic.net/video.php?id... 011
Soap @soapagent.bsky.social · 26/06/2026okay apparently it's actually an issue with the "keyboard mode", which I was using to more easily remap the additional buttons. that doesn't really make sense but I guess I can use controller mode and try to make it so I can still use those extra buttons. guess I should un-buy those switches 000
Soap @soapagent.bsky.social · 26/06/2026now that I have the thing I don't want to just return it, and customer support isn't looking likely (there's a half-Chinese discord ostensibly for two of their cheatboxes but this isn't one). It's a cool device with decent customization so I'm buying different switches and investing harder lawl 000
Soap @soapagent.bsky.social · 26/06/2026got myself a CheatBox just for fun and because it was cheap (on discount for $18 before shipping). unfortunately that seems to come at a cost, since the mechanical switches have a chance to retrigger when you release the key, which is detrimental for quick menuing and gaming. debounce doesn't fix it 210
Soap @soapagent.bsky.social · 17/06/2026Okay that's a pretty satisfying way to drive by a category. 1:06 is definitely possible with a bit more grinding, but I'm good to retire early given the lack of active competition. Just a few medium timelosses in this run, but overall pretty good :3 📼▶️ chargedgarlic.net/video.php?id... 480
Soap @soapagent.bsky.social · 11/06/2026This run was just like 3 major mistakes away from being WR and 1:08. It's a PB by ~1m40s so that's definitely a good improvement already; clearly, practicing the levels I play less often pays off. 020
