Maybe a brief session how and why not to take it personally when people break your game in half in search of shortcuts

By the way this would be a talk directed at game designers, and I know nothing about game design. Or, like, videogames

How do you design a game to be speedrun? *Should* you? Why? What should you expect if you do?

"Hi. I've got no idea who any of you people are. Now here's what I think you should do differently"

Human speed runs : tool-assisted speed runs :: 100m sprint : land speed record

I could just burn an entire hour on a mangled explanation of the Wrong Warp glitch in The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time

If you want people to speed run your videogame, (1) make it a Mario game (2) release it for the NES in 1985

How do you define "finish the game" given that in several games you can jump directly into the closing credits? The MIDDLE of the credits?
