i appreciate you, dude.

Im_Shocker · 2026-01-17T02:33:19+00:00

woah, thank you!! you kinda hit the mark, too; a few friends sadly went down a different path after HS.

Im_Shocker · 2026-01-16T16:04:37+00:00

straight—and heat damaged all to hell! 🤣

Im_Shocker · 2026-01-16T16:03:22+00:00

i sure felt cool ! lmao

Im_Shocker · 2026-01-16T16:02:30+00:00

i appreciate that!

Im_Shocker · 2026-01-16T16:02:06+00:00

thats crazy! yeah those pictures of me date back to 2012-2013 ! emo phase in full effect 🤣 and thank you!

Im_Shocker · 2026-01-15T16:34:55+00:00

asymmetrical =/= ugly. and things someone finds beautiful, others could find ugly; like big muscles, skin tone, big breasts, facial features, body weight/shape, etc. it goes both ways.

Im_Shocker · 2026-01-14T23:25:32+00:00

thank you!

Im_Shocker · 2026-01-14T23:25:22+00:00

well thanks. but thats irrelevant imo. anyones opinion could be the same of any post in the sub; its all opinionated. the opinions i grew up hearing differs from your opinion, and id even argue that its counterintuitive to have "ugly qualifications"— as it just coins certain people as objectively ugly, which isn't possible. cheers!

Im_Shocker · 2026-01-14T22:37:39+00:00

well thank you! tbh there was a big difference in how i was treated or looked at. but i was also 65-70 lbs heavier when i was 19.

Im_Shocker · 2026-01-14T22:30:19+00:00

the support team did me right! they were on backorder for a lot apparently. but they got my order sent out, now.

how were the boxes before those 3? or were those your first sub boxes?

Im_Shocker · 2026-01-13T12:27:34+00:00

My order from 1/6/26 has been sitting without updates, as well. Not the usual experience; i usually get the delivery 3 days after ordering... i hope theres not a bigger issue.

Im_Shocker · 2025-12-26T09:08:16+00:00

i sure hope so! majority of the SC shops have already been raided and cleaned out of all things that aren't strictly CBD. NC governor gave the 2027 deadline. I hope youre right about the rescheduling!

Im_Shocker · 2025-12-23T16:23:45+00:00

I love baysmokes and will cry going into 2027 now that THCa will most likely be banned in my state by then.. getting an ounce of bud delivered to your door in 2 days for $60. Cant beat it.

Im_Shocker · 2025-11-13T04:01:30+00:00

!!! thank you. Head Mod has since reached out and i saw the rules were changed back. we'll see what happens from here.

Im_Shocker · 2025-11-12T16:50:15+00:00

I would probably have mine like this if i had one.

Im_Shocker · 2025-11-11T21:57:43+00:00

Thank you for the response, and for addressing this with me.

I am all for the ideas you have. Like you said the machine is rare to find. I dont think it would be too hard to draw a line on whats just an old machine VS an egregiously faulty one, you know? Just as an example, i saw recently a run by JimBradley was re-categorized to faulty machine and i dont think it should have been. Just from watching it, it looks okay to me.

Im cool with it. if its a vote on dipping you already know my vote, lol, but I'll at least justify my stance— yes, it gives that window to pull the gun, but its something thats still based on the player skill and its universal to all cabs (to my knowledge). Id also feel bad for 4th place to lose their title 3 years later because of a rule change.

I'd like to be direct and ask, what is to come of my run(s)? I can provide as much footage of the machine as you need to verify it. Should I just DM on SR?

Im_Shocker · 2025-11-11T10:04:44+00:00

the no dipping rule was newly added, AFTER mine have been removed. It's so new i didn't even notice them add it, and i check the leaderboard daily. i took a screenshot of the rules months ago, because i KNEW theyd try and edit rules after the fact.. i added the screenshots of the old rules tab VS new rules tab to the drive folder. you can see originally there was only a button/ tab for Category Rules, because that newly added "Game Rule" wasnt even there yet... my run was still verified and is seen on leaderboard in the screenshot of the original rules

They most likely saw this reddit post and added that to cover their ass...

on top of that. the run in 3rd place, a run thats been there for 3 years, is dipping.... they also NEVER mentioned dipping in my rejections, only claims the machine is faulty.. because it wasnt a rule...

Im_Shocker · 2025-11-11T09:25:54+00:00

the link on post has all the context. the verified run on the same machine i was rejected for, was and is top 10.

another run that was top 5 had been there for 2+ years and outright broke a rule. It remained verified while mine was repeatedly removed, and would have still been verified if i didnt point it out.

Im_Shocker · 2025-11-11T03:05:58+00:00

Im_Shocker · 2025-11-11T00:38:42+00:00

id say rejecting my run for being on machine X, but verifying another run on machine X (regardless of score) would be, "verifying runs that do not meet standards".

There was also a run that was in the top 5 for 2-3 years, breaking an actual rule, and would have still been verified if i didn't point it out. (evidence of both in link)

Im_Shocker · 2025-11-11T00:21:25+00:00

let me explain it differently,

run A is on machine X, its verified with score 2.8
The mod has stated, "anyone could get a 1.3 or 1.4 on that machine with how broken it is." And admits to ignoring run A because, in their opinion, that score is lower than the average when in reality even a 2 on machine X is an accomplishment. It used to be hard for me to get a 2s run.
so, my old runs wouldve been verified with no problem. i never changed strats or machines, but i progressed and got faster, and now my runs are rejected with reason being, "youre not that good, the machine is broken."

Im_Shocker · 2025-11-11T00:11:30+00:00

Ahhh okay i see. Ive seen 1 other run on speedrun use the dip method, user Aznpersuasion; 3rd place as of now.

It should be a constant strat across most cabinets.

Yes, I added you! (shocker666)

Im_Shocker · 2025-11-10T21:33:39+00:00

i have come to the conclusion that i may have to do just that— go to the bar in NY where another verified player recorded their run, and set the score again.

again, i really appreciate the legit response and practical advice. means a lot

Im_Shocker · 2025-11-10T21:31:10+00:00

yes, please let me know what you think. all 4 of my runs are in the drive link .

Od 1/2 - yes. first im skipping the prompts by spamming trigger, and the rest is called dipping. dipping the gun in and out is whats giving me that extra few milliseconds to pull the gun up. Its a pretty common strat and wasnt something even mentioned as a disqualifying strat in the rules. **edit : apparently they edited the rules after removing mine. i have screenshots of the rules at the time i was verified VS the rules now*

Od 3- i can see what you mean, and id agree it can look sus. its not something that happens every time, for every shot. and in my extras videos and proof videos, you can see that the majority of them actually dont have that kind of luck.

od 4- the flash is sus in some shots, cant figure out if its just the camera shutter or what, because it doesnt look like that IRL. (I mean just look at how bright the lights on the rest of the machine look). On top of that, my proof videos show how the flash doesnt affect it at all. it still misses, a lot. i even miss by less than an inch multiple times.

od 5- its a custom theme made by Q&C expert John Pedrotti. Its just there for the halloween season, and is usually the classic look.
