I think about it in a more mathematically abstract way: speed and acceleration are two different units of measure, and you can't add or subtract different units of measure. Mathematically, asking how hard it would be to jump on a moving elevator would be like asking how much five seconds plus a kilogram is. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Meanwhile, I think it's wonderful watching a speedrun that actually plays the game for once!

That's also the formula for two capacitors in series.

When explaining just how weird quantum physics can be, the usual go-to example is the variation of the double slit experiment, where passing electrons through the slits produces an interference pattern as though they were waves. But the example goes on to talk about how, if you put a camera or some other sensor on your setup to try and monitor where each electron goes, suddenly your electrons behave like particles and you have no interference pattern. I admit to knowing next to nothing about the field, but this explanation feels... off. At best, it feels like an oversimplification so extreme that it ends up being nonsense. Can someone please explain, preferably not to technically, what this is all about?

Because the atmosphere doesn't absorb that much light. The only reason the sky appears blue when viewed from the surface is because its set against the lightless background of space. You can still see bright objects through it though. Look at the daytime moon. The only parts that have a blue tint to them are the less well lit portions. So the sky is blue when viewed from the surface because of the darkness of space. When viewed from space, all you can see is the brightly lit earth shining though the atmosphere. But the water is blue because it's reflecting the blue sky. I'm thinking something similar to seeing a reflection of a teleprompter. If I'm in the audience, I can't see what's on the teleprompter unless you place a mirror in front of it.

Without doing any research, my off-the-cuff response would be somewhere between, "Water is naturally blue," and "The oceans are reflecting the sky." Even if you can't really "see" the atmosphere from space, you can still see blue on the planet's surface, and the blue would be reflected outward.

This title reminds me of that Hunchback game that was submitted some time ago.

All I'm gonna say to this line of conversation is that when I first submitted my run, it was romanized as, "Catou."

I'm surprised Twin Galaxies is still taken seriously after all their credibility has been dashed to pieces.

Nice job with the run! Only took 14 years for a proper obsoletion. :P Interesting take on the second boss. I guess you guys thought it looked better that way. What's next, Kendo Rage?

I seem to remember that the batter can move around in the box. If so, can that affect how you hit the ball?

How tricky would it be to adapt this script to other Arkanoid like games?

Minor administrivia: The last paragraph in the description of the Youtube upload is clearly from Sami's movie.

I don't know about that, Pacman's voice here is giving me flashbacks of Silent Hill.

Late 2004, I used FCEU to speedrun GI Joe NES at 25% speed. Never submitted.

For the most part, if we allow the range to extend into complex numbers, is the absolute value thing even necessary?
