Could a "flawless" run be longer than necessary (iow. have unnecessary delays)? If the answer is yes, then it all comes down to the definition of "flawless". I think it's difficult to define it so that you are not simply defining a (perfect) speedrun.
(For example, if you define "flawless" as "beats the game by taking no damage", then a 5-hour SMB run could be "flawless" by that definition, but certainly wouldn't comply with common sense.)

My guess is that there's *no* simple, clear and unambiguous definition.

Since no more "ask me" threads are allowed, is it okay if I create a "ask anyone" thread, where anyone can answer questions instead just the one person who created the thread? People could also direct their questions to a specific person if they wanted, but it would mostly be a free-for-all thread.

I have never understood the need for some people to split their archives into a myriad of small files. It wasn't useful 15 years ago, and it's much less useful today (when >100MB files are extremely common). It just doesn't make any sense.
This function gained popularity in times when BitTorrent wasn't yet popular, and most hosters including one-click host services only allowed files of very limited size, like 10 or 20 MB.

I think the trouble with games like Super Metroid (and I only know to well myself) given the fact that its immenceslely popular. That pretty much anyone voting, whose a fan of the game will vote yes to pretty much any catagory or run given the fact that its decently optimized. To put it in the simpliest terms to Moozooh (I somehow think he'll entirely look over this point or take it out of context), if OoT had a timer which showed at the end with cutscenes and certain texts not counting towards the ingame time, would you accept a different run which doesn't skip those cutscenes and text just because it lowered the ingame time even though there is a real time run which skips them, but doing so takes longer in terms ingame time.

I think it's good for xkeeper and others to express both their approvals and concerns on the site, even if it doesn't cause much change.

Speaking as a speedrunner, I would just like to say that I find the notion of publishing a TAS due to faster in-game time equating to comparing TASes directly with speedruns is absurd. I haven't watched either run, nor have I even played Super Metroid, so I can't comment on entertainment merit. But the above strikes a chord with me as a speedrunner and I'm sure many of the regulars here don't want TASvideos to be represented in that way, intentionally or otherwise.

So I like ranting because I think where Nesvideos is going sucks, and will probably continue to do so until the "post reply" button stops working.

If you were inaccurate in your choice of words, would you say it's fair for someone who read those words to conclude you were talking rambling nonsense? If not, why is that?
I'm sure pasting the rest of the conversation would help you out on that, but the rest of the conversation, it sounds like, deals with the 100% subjective stuff. Why would you (or me) need help justifying your position there? No one is calling it into question, it's subjective.
"Everyone" is obviously a lie, you're right. "So often" is subjective, and I have no problem with my choice of words there. I hear you on the elitist thing, I just don't agree. Again it's a matter of opinion. It's understandable you don't feel you act in a certain way, it's probably understandable how I might disagree too.
This is where we don't agree. Of course I don't recall (m)any specific examples, if you felt like searching for our ~10 heated discussions we could maybe do some evaluating, but it seems pointless. The watermark thing is the only thing (and most recent I think?) that springs to mind. Wasn't there something else just a couple days before that? I'm not sure.
I have no idea about the specific issue about the votes etc.
Yeah I guess it's a "crusade for justice against you" if you want to put it like that. Like I said it pisses me off when you act like you do and say what you do to people. I'm not trying to achieve anything special except point out to you that you're being an asshole and if you considered it and maybe changed that would be a great bonus too.
Don't really understand this, doesn't seem like two connected statements at all. Anyway what I'm looking for is to tell you you're being an asshole. It's fine if you think my argument sucks, though I wish you wouldn't.

I think it's a bit shitty of you to change "speed is subjective" to "perception of speed is subjective" since it's just a 180 degree turnaround and completely changes what you're talking about, but whatever it's fine.
We also disagree about what's important when it comes to timing method/level of optimization/goal importance/etc but that stuff is 100% subjective so there's no point bringing that up in here trying to convince the other he's "wrong" or anything.
Anyway to answer your other concerns, the tirade was embarrassing for you.
I am eager to shut you up a lot of the time because you are an elitist asshole who attack others for things you are guilty of yourself. If you didn't get up on your high horses and had to put everyone down so often we'd get along just fine.
This is really the main point, I'm not looking to blow holes in your argumentation just for the fun of it or because I "just don't like you".

[16:34:30] <moozooh> it being slower is also subjective because in the actual rooms, where the gameplay happens, it's faster.
[16:38:31] <moozooh> Baxter: yet it is. yet again, if hero made a run on 1.51 that was slower in realtime due to the emulator-added lag, you likely wouldn't that argument, because (guess what) speed is subjective. but i have no intention to fight other people's opinions, so i won't continue this argument either. [16:38:49] <moozooh> present that argument* [16:38:59] <Fabian_> wow you're really grabbing for straws here moozooh =/
16:40:08] <moozooh> no, it's just an example that the numbers you see in the "time" field don't always constitute the level of optimization, entertainmment or anything else. [16:40:45] <moozooh> and your general argument is "this number is bigger, boo hoo".
[16:42:49] <moozooh> <Baxter> it's slower than the current run <-- based on numbers, not gameplay.

Sorry man but that's just an outright lie.
All I'm saying is if it's ok for you to go on like that when you find something you find unjust and still are way off about, jumping at people's throats for making like 2 posts because they "struck a nerve" is just bullshit.

Dont you hate it when that 1 was a judge?
20 yes, 0 meh and 1 no, and because the one person who voted no was a judge, it gets rejected.
