Billy Mitchell is the infinitely cooler video game cheat because he ruined the life of a tranny-lover, and because he's legitimately cracked at games even when he's not cheating.

Elon just hires dozens of Pajeets to pilot his accounts.
@sendpaws From what I understand Billy Mitchell set a lot of his records on emulators, which would make it much easier for him to get away with potentially cheating, and which per the existing rules renders those records invalid. So he wasn't exactly caught cheating, but it seems more likely than not that he did cheat, and there was no way his records would remain on the leaderboard given the circumstances.

@ChristiJunior but also you would use emulators to practice
In the shmup scene this is considered normal

@sendpaws @ChristiJunior yeah you can use emulators to practice and stuff but the real records are required to be run on actual hardware.

@sendpaws @ChristiJunior i think people don't hate billy for being a cheater as much as they hate him for being way too full of himself. he's a total jackass.

@LukeAlmighty @sendpaws @ChristiJunior it depends on the community setting standards for certain things. a lot of it comes down to emulation accuracy as well as trying to cut off an avenue for cheating. the reason why billy mitchell was found to be using an emulator in the first place was because of an inaccuracy. emulation can also make certain things easier, like controller remapping and higher render resolutions.

for ocarina of time, emulator is allowed (pj64 1.6 or 1.7 only) only if your time isn't in the top 10%. for mario 64, emulator and virtual console runs are in a completely separate category.

> Is allowed only if you're losing anyway
:omegalul: :omegalul: :omegalul:

Anyway, separate categories is a reasonable solution.

@LukeAlmighty @sendpaws @ChristiJunior well, like pawslut said, it's mainly for practice. There are a lot of leaderboards that don't even require proof if you don't have a top time. I think that's how it works for goldeneye 007 for instance. Anyone taking it seriously enough to get a top time will definitely be playing on console.
