The Journey Towards Optimization in Speedruns
One thing I've noticed over my years of observing speedruns and watching SO MANY speedrun analysis videos is the amount of optimization done for them. There's so much effort put into it and people put genuine sweat and tears into it that you're always in awe seeing it unfold. There's a certain thrill to it; seeing what cracks you can break, and if you can't find a crack, then just break the wall yourself. Let's TALK ABOUT IT.
