      Hakita helps out the speedrunners and makes every fun glitch an intended mechanic. This game is the definition of "it's not a bug, it's a feature" and I couldn't be happier.

    Something I will relentlessly enjoy is how polite a lot of speedrunning communities seem to be with each other. Even when there's some rivalries between runners, they seem quite cordial! While this is corny for me to say, it's honestly inspiring to see a runner hype someone else up because they beat that runner's own record.

    Today i had a weird glitch that got me stuck inside the celling after i tried shotgun parrying to fly. The difference is that i was only partialy stuck, with gun sticking out. All i did was just to stay here and snipe down v2 with revolver, while he was just looking at me like ,,come down here b#tch i ain't done with you". All i did then was to repeat the shotgun parry after V2 got defeated and i got back to the map.
