More gaming news.
Okay.
Some of my speedrunning work is being reviewed by Speed Demos Archive as we speak, and some of it is in transit. Now, for those that don't know the review process.... at Speed Demos Archive, runs are verified by people who have played the game for which you're submitting, and you're not supposed to know who your verifiers are.
I do happen to know that I drew one of the site admins for a verifier, and I also happen to know for a fact that something got rejected. (I know what it is, but for the sake of not spoiling it for everyone else, I won't tell.) Let me say that this is nowhere near comparable to any other rejection I've gotten - I didn't have to wait a long time for it and I actually got feedback as to where I went wrong. And, well, I was told explicitly. (You'd be surprised how many rejections are implicit, leaving one person in the dark.)
I think I'll worry about redoing that run much, much later. For now, I've got a lot on my mind.
