I’m sure you are already aware of this video, but for those who are not: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kpk2tdsPh0A https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kpk2tdsPh0A this video is an amazing exploration of the various ways speed runners will use glitches to their advantage.

Gosh, I must have watched that sleep-deprived a very long time ago last night, but I will have to take another look at that. So many views. Foggy memories, I think I remember seeing this. In any case, yay amnesia! Worth seeing again for the half-first time. ;PPPP

  Yeah! it's one of those videos that I was first shown in high-school, and then fairly recently dug up and rewatched. Such a classic.

I actually rewatch this video a few times a year. I just love everything about it so much. It is a well taught physics lecture for a system of physics that was created by people.

"Now y'all might be wondering what I need all this speed for" is forever etched in my mind. PannKoek is a youtube treasure.

Also if people are interested in further speedrunning videos, I very highly recommend "Summoning Salt" on YouTube!

For anyone who thinks they might enjoy "speedrunner overcomes all the odds" narrative style videos, I've greatly enjoyed the content of "ThaRixer" on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/@ThaRixer/videos https://www.youtube.com/@ThaRixer/videos He gives a good sense of how unlikely it was for some of these glitches to be found, and how much luck and skill is involved in pulling off a successful world record.

He recently did another commentated video, I believe maybe the first commentated one since that legendary video, on pendulum manipulation. https://youtu.be/nYDmBdUalgo https://youtu.be/nYDmBdUalgo It may be a bit slow for the types here already well familiar with floating point and the like but it's still got amazingly deep content on something silly but fun.
