For those who quickly want to understand the category it is effectively Any% Min Portals except the ch_createairboat command is allowed. This command isn't considered a cheat by the game so you could argue that this is the "true" Any% Min Portals category.

[@ReunionMana]

fun fact, the chamber at 2:13 you can softlock inside and glados will give you some recycled dialogue from near the ending of the game and just complete the test for you if you do it, that's what glados tried to do when the airboat spawned in the wall before she moves on to "as part of a required test protocol"

I would guess that the buttons are scripted to respond to the player or cubes and not physically to weight.

buttons are not weight based on the source engine, the trigger that triggers the button animation and the door opening are just filtered with a filter that only allows things like cubes to activate them

And here I am thinking that making a mistake means that you need to restart your run, apparently not. Makes sense with the unpredictable nature of an airboat

[@awkwardcultism]

Saving and loading is generally allowed in speedruns as long as the timer stays running. You don't see a lot of it in many record speedruns because at that level of competition a reload generally means a dead attempt, but it comes up in races, events like AGDQ, speedruns with a lot of unpredictability (like this video), and very long speedruns (24 hours+). In some cases saving and loading is used to save time. When you load a save in a temple in Zelda, it puts you at the entrance. Sometimes saving and loading is a faster way to get out of a temple than walking.

I know the comment is three months old but ‘You’re not a good person’ does play in that part when you accidentally softlock yourself with the cube inside of the door and both portals being outside, that way you could no longer open the door because you can’t reach the cube and take it to the button, GLaDOS would open the door for you and complain about that, that’s why she said ‘You’re not a good person’.
