@AndrewGspeedrun How is that unfair to everyone else who could so choose to do this or not? Especially when thers no gameplay advantage?

@RotoDoc Right, but the argument has always extended to these people as well? That's to say, it's a fair competition between those with physical limitations and those who prefer to have ergonomics.

I would say there is an extreme disconnect between casual viewers/speedrunners and the top runners of any given game. You'll spend a year getting a world record but you're "taking it too seriously" if you disagree with rule changes that effect the top players: Turbo, Breaks, Etc

@AndrewGspeedrun Turbo and breaks arent just for physical limitations. They also have to do with preserving the hand health of those playing the games. If you want to destroy healthy hands, by all means go for it.

@RotoDoc ??? If someone has a physical limitation and a category is created to allow this player to compete (such as a turbo category), is this not the same thing?

@AndrewGspeedrun And I'm saying equating any of this to special Olympics is fucking absurd Preserving hand health is not the equivalent to special Olympics. Its not parallel. Its absurd.

@RotoDoc In terms of accessibility in terms of like turbo and such, this is exactly in line though. In terms of accessibility in terms of being able to simply play a game that's not what I'm comparing this to. I'm saying categories should exist for the concerns of all playersm if valid.

@AndrewGspeedrun I guess I dont know what it is even though it came across some way, which is why I deleted. But also whatever it is I think equating it to Special Olympics probably isnt the look man

@RotoDoc Oddly this wasn't with that in mind, but suppose there's some argument to be made. I mean, I want accessibility which is why I never fussed about that in the first place. I want the best of both worlds with this stuff, which is why having categories is a good option.

IndyCar Officiating Incorporated found Alex Palou's front wing to be too low in post-race tech, and has chosen to fine the team $10K and take five points from the driver. IOI chose to make no change to the #Indy500 finishing order and Palou retains P7.
