Hope in Source - A podcast by Nadia Eghbal & Henry Zhu
Categories:
What's beyond simply beating a video game? Eric "Omnigamer" Koziel joins Henry to chat about speedruning as an optimization problem (code golf), game knowledge as discovery, access as a result of technology, issues of game preservation/archival, coordination issues, obscure/popular games, versioning/patches, and more! (recorded in January. Since then, Eric has a new book out, Speedrun Science). Transcript: https://maintainersanonymous.com/speedrunning
