I wish I could find fanfiction for The Genius Files anywhere but I simply cannot

Setting aside the misconception that was corrected after this thread was posted, I figured I'd leave this here: bsky.app/profile/supe...

(And to be fair to Milo, I shouldn't have brought this up in the first place or been as cringe as I was. But that doesn't excuse his response to me either.)

...all while hiding behind the veil of professionalism. Otherwise, I foresee a future where this kind of conflict--the wider speedrunning community vs. those who want to use speedrunning for monetization--only getting worse as time goes on, whether it be because of GSA or not.

Unfortunately, it appears as though I wasn't.

I do not wish any harm--personal, financial, or physical--on Milo or anybody who still supports GSA. But I feel there are several things Milo needs to take proper accountability for, rather than making excuses and throwing other people under the bus...

Whether they had good intentions or not, looking back part of me feels like their involvement had the main purpose of..

As much as I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, and I hate to assume negative intentions in these kinds of cases, I have to agree with Suigi on this one. I'm not sure Milo cared about the speedrunning community as much as the bottom line; its potential monetization.

...they had the potential to do many positive things for the community. It's a shame to have to come to terms with the fact that that potential may not have existed at all.

Milo's post announcing the end of PACE, to me, felt like a bunch of gaslighting and emotional manipulation.

...I've become quite disappointed.

I never asked for the cancellation of PACE. When I announced that I was no longer participating in GSA events, I wasn't even asking that anybody join me. Like I said, I wanted GSA to succeed, and despite some mishandlings at the start, I really thought...

I'm surprised to see SMG1 all the way down in D, ik you never viewed it as highly as the other 602 games but I didn't think it'd be that low for you
