As someone who is frequently in the orbit of speedrunning, I do think there's a perception problem in that we generally only see the top few runners of any given game, and so it sometimes feels like there isn't much point in submitting runs that aren't within a certain epsilon of "competitive."

We really ought to do more to encourage runs that aren't at or around WR territory.

I want to see more casual runners hanging out and doing events.

This is my new favorite graph, I think. A chart of everything in the observable universe, plotted by the logs of their same-volume-sphere radii and the logs of their masses.

Devised by Lineweaver and Patel

Fun fact: each axis being logarithmic is why everything seems to sort neatly into bands.

On a log log graph, a constant slope means the two quantities are related by a power of the x-axis quantity. So basically this is saying, for most objects in the universe, mass scales with the cube of radius (as the slopes are uniformly 3).

Which makes sense, since that's also how volume scales, but there are some exceptions: namely that line of black holes, since their masses only scale with radius itself, not with the cube, which is also why we have that hard upper band of forbidden values.

Hey folks!

Just a quick reminder that I will not be streaming this weekend, as I'll be helping with the Fastest Furs marathon, raising money for Trans Lifeline!

I'll be in the background off and on all marathon long, but I'll also be on the hosting mic from 11:20 'til 1:30 today!

Please consider a donation if you're able, and come see some of our runners kick some butt!
