[@bob8mybobbob]

I love that Salt spent the beginning of this run bantering about 3-D printers with chat, and then with each major hurdle he gets more focused in. It really shows the culture of speedruns, a lot of monotony and then suddenly, The Run.

[@Ara_Arasaka]

The cover of Home We’re Finally Landing to open this on piano is so fucking cute. I love these two creators so much.

[@pavfeira]

This is a terrific breakdown, but shoutout to Bald Bull 1. All too often, I see high level play and think "oh wow, that was clean" only for the streamer to sigh and grumble, and I don't have the context to understand what went wrong. This vid broke down the AI ahead of time, but then also showed the AI choices with "good" or "bad" overlaid on the video. That gave me all the context I needed to go "oh, yeah, he got screwed by RNG" and be right there with Salt. Great editing work!

[@waffler-yz3gw]

yess i love this guy's editing

[@haniyasu8236]

As a side tangent, it's so cool to me that all the graphs here are a very good example of the Central Limit Theorem. Even tho a lot of the individual cases have weird probabilities and oddly-shaped graphs, when you add all of them up, they pretty quickly turn into that classic S-shaped normal distribution

I really want to highlight how much better this probability analysis is than the really common "just multiply a bunch of numbers together" approach that gives impressively massive, meaningless values. It's not just more accurate - it allows visualisations like your final slide down to "what does a 1 in a million run look like" at the end. You even get to sense-check your estimate by comparing to Salt's run-count, and they're very reasonably comparable when you add in the element of human execution. I really love this, and want to give you a big pat on the back to encourage more of it.

[@homersimpson6985]

I really enjoyed the quick explanations right before showing the IRL run footage. It helped me understand what I'm about to watch so succinctly.
