This has been happening to me. Has anyone else here, since getting into speedrunning, have that one abrupt thought "How can I do this the fastest way possible?". It's like the things that I'm learning subconsciously while speedrunning is helping me do things faster in real life.
I'd discourage you from trying to finish your life as quickly as possible.
@Chronokirby, I guess he is going for "100% happiness" category, where you need to finish your life as quick as possible once your lifetime-happiness meter turns onehundred. What you were referring to is any% and I bet if he had done this category, he wouldn't be able to discuss that with us. Kappa
Yeah, no, never do that. You want to be an essential part of a team, but never be TOO essential, or you'll never get promoted that way either.
I have learned to recognize traffic light cycles on my walk to work... the cool thing is I actually have a backup strat because there is a subway station that goes under the street I need to cross. So I have it figured out whether or not I should wait for the light or go through the station based on the timing of the lights at the nearby intersection.
Except when the strat backfires because a train just got in and the station is so busy it takes longer to walk through :/
Back when I was in school I used to walk along a larger street that had traffic lights every block, and they all turn red at the same time to let the cross-streets go. If I had to walk down the street more than 3 blocks and cross it, there would always be a most optimal intersection where I didn't lose any time because the time it took to walk 1 block was different than the length of the light cycle.
Speedrun techniques applicable to other stuff in my real life?
Meh, I guess they ain't of much use thus far as what I have to deal with is quite different from what I have to do in a video-game speedrun, and besides being able to settle things as fast as possible doesn't necessarily mean a good thing to do :p
@Lance_ Your girlfriend would be discouraged at you that you didn't give her the moment for coming.
I woke up and found out and I was nearly out of food resources so I went to the store and despised it because I hate auto-scroller missions because they feel so slow having to wait for lights to turn green while driving but on the bright side at least I had good cop RNG as I can not afford any tickets because I have to manage my funds strategically to ensure my survival bar doesn't get too low, I would continue this story but my life soft locked as I had to answer a call from my significant other and fix the problem :^).
I got most of my speed strats from this page, they also go over rules and sequence breaks. https://twitter.com/SpeedRunsLife?lang=en
