I watched a few speed runs from last week's Awesome Games Done Quick marathon and several of the runners were able to perform some impressive game breaking exploits in real-time. They didn't always manage it, but for most of the finicky exploits they usually had 3-4 runners doing the same trick simultaneously and at least one of them got it.

- minimaxir 11y agoMany of the exploits done at AGDQ require "frame perfect" timing. Depending on the game, this is 1/24th of a second at best, and 1/60th of a second at worst. It's no surprise that the exploits are finicky.
