In the past couple of months, I have refreshed Schubert's Impromptu Op. 90 No. 2, then learned No. 3 and I just finished learning No. 4 and I'm really, really happy about that! Gonna attack No. 1 today and when I'm done, I will be able to play the entirety of one of my favourite piano compositions.

Of course Randall Munroe is knowledgeable enough about speedrunning to get the details right

I think the game will be a very good speedrun, and I'm pretty sure the devs will embrace a speedrunning community forming around the game! I have already done some runs of the demo and I plan on taking care of the game's SRC page when it comes out.

To give you a fuller answer, I know some of the devs personally and I have given them my tips on what makes a good speedrunning game and imo the game's core movement mechanics tick many boxes. There could be some issues with pacing resets and autoscrollers but we'll see when the full game comes out.

Well, the demo already has a bonus objective for completing one of the levels under a time limit, so... 😉

Boil some chicken breasts, cut them up with forks into bite-sized chunks, spread some mayo on the inside of the sandwich (optional but imo makes it way better), heat up the gravy, then simply make the chicken sandwich, cover with a generous amount of hot gravy, and garnish with canned green peas.

I second the hot chicken sandwich, you might have trouble finding these outside of Québec grocery stores but if you can, get this sauce (or another brand). The recipe is also very simple.

Lanky Kong is by far* the fastest Kong

Whenever someone "times" something using video software timecodes and equates 10 seconds and 7 frames at 30 fps to 10.07 seconds, I immediately discard everything else they have to say

You'd be surprised how common this obvious mistake is
