Alas
Hey the game doesn't have to be good to speedrun it. Sometimes, even speedrunning a bad game can make it somewhat good, in a weird way.
I'm not afraid of the jank I'm hearing about, it interests me more. I'll take a look into getting the PC game running on my side soon- I mess around with a lot of old PC games, so I might have some tricks to get it to work.
I too, await this punchline

Looks like some neat stuff! I like games that are somewhat jank by nature, and even though platformers aren't my forte, I could get with this. Seems like it was from the days where Ubisoft would publish anything, instead of what they do now.
A search reveals that it was also on PC and Dreamcast as well, so that opens up some options for anyone looking to join in.
Maybe it'd be a good time to start up a Discord server for exploring this game?
I'm one of a kind, much like the crystallization of vapor on rare winter days; thusly I give my sincerest apologies WoweeSmug
Just as the title says! (Although it can be tech, a glitch, etc. too!)
If you've got a lot of favorites and can't make up your mind, just throw any of 'em. You don't even have to run the game it's from!
I think one that's particularly fascinated me is the item get clipping in LoZ: Twilight Princess. It's "speed" tech in the sense it takes hours to work, but it serves for Low% shenanigans, which I always love to see.
Put briefly, when you pick up a new item, the game stops to give you a little description of it. Minor items have Link just hold it in front of him, idling as long as the dialog is up. When programming the animation, they left out the last frame, causing Link to move ever so slightly backwards over time from root motion.
During this state, Link ignores a lot of collision, allowing speedrunners to skip a few minor items they normally couldn't... all for the cost of multiple hours.
That's just one of many favorite tricks for me, but this thread isn't just about me. So, what about you?
Despite the nature of technology meaning to progress humanity and to make things simpler, it, by an unfortunate twist of fate, is often maligned with not being as simple as it should.
Were Occam's Razor an inherent element in much of the design of the strands of electrical configuration that brings life to our computing devices, then we would have a much simpler, and therefore possibly less frustrated life. Undeniably, this comes at the cost of creativity, which brings upon us a matter of personal thought: is form or function more important?
Being a matter of belief, there is no truth or falsity in the answer, nor is it merely binary. Thus is the nature of the opinion, intangible and effervescent; however, this concept itself is an overarching philosophy, under the true overarching Philosophy.
In the search of considering every fabrication of our minds to find the ideal, it is with knowledge I have gained that I suggest referring to this page and to speak its contents clearly: https://www.frankerfacez.com/channel/speedruncom_ffz
