Question, what do you all prefer, image 1 more spacious and two rows, or image 2 as compact as possible to show more data on screen? (and why?)
Image 2 for the same reasons others have mentioned. The post-run setup time takes up a lot of space and I wonder if it's even relevant enough to include. Instead, potentially hide it behind full-view toggles, like a narrow horaro window would. And I'd love to have no line breaks in console names. 🥲
tl;dr: I'm moving @goldsplit.news away from Substack and will be taking a longer break to do that properly, implement some changes, and set us up for at least another year.
There's a survey included and if you're a (regular) reader I'd loOoOoOoOove to hear from you. 💛💛💛

My Switch 2 takes:
+++ Much needed performance upgrades
++ GameChat
++ USB-C Port at the top
+ 3D Donkey Kong
+ Mouse controls (but questionable ergonomics)
-- FromSoftware exclusive
--- Paid interactive handbook game ??
------ Setting a new precedent by charging 80€ for one game
The perfect day to use the calendar for researching running and upcoming events 🥲👍🏻

This week, we obviously need to talk about Twitch's decision to restrict the storage capacity for Highlights.
It has huge implications for the entire speedrunning community, please spread the word!
🔗goldsplit.substack.c...
The negative effect of Twitch's new policy on the speedrunning community can't be overstated.
If you are one of the people who now has to sift through 100s of hours of highlights:
Stream the process! Take a trip down memory lane with your community while also raising awareness for the issue!
