So lately I found a glitch in Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus on which I can take advantage of a save glitch so that Abe can automatically turn those wheels in Necrum to get to Feeco Depot early and skip the Mudanchee and Mudomo Vaults. I see runs on this site which use a save corruption glitch. Would this new run I'm working on count towards a save corruption glitch or would it be just a regular major skip glitch like the Paramonia Scrabania skip in Abe's Oddysee?

Okay. I read this 10 times over. I still have no idea what the hell this glitch is. Like I get the fact of using a save profile but where's the footage? What the hell does it look like? Just words in a game that majority of us mainly watch and not play doesn't help anyone with what you've just asked.

I think if the glitch you're using skips only 3% of the game, it can stand as a regular category. If you're skipping 98% of the game, it will be its own category. Either way it will probably get the save corruption tag. Not sure what you were asking, but maybe my reply answers your question?

Ok. Just wanted to get some clarification on this.

I already gave you the clarification, saying exactly the same thing as MUGG did.
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.
