Pretty solid run. Really content with this time, will only run this category again if new time save is found or someone beats this time. Be sure to check out my new mixtape dropping this fall. Q: What is Sex%? A: Having sex as soon as possible. Q: Why? This doesn’t look fun. A: The same reason people play racing games and MOBAs. Because it is fun to do and to also see a quantitative value (i.e. time) tied to your skill in a game, and it’s cool to see your skill improve. I’ve already put thousands of hours into the Fallout games outside of speedrunning, so this is another way I can play the game to have fun since I don’t find them fun normally anymore. Q: You’re glitching, this isn’t a real speedrun. A: You’re right, I am glitching, but this is a real speedrun. This is the any% category, meaning that glitches and exploits are allowed (as is with every any% speedrun). If you don’t believe me, look up some other any% speedruns. However, console commands are not allowed, because that is considered to be the same as entering cheat codes. Glitches actually make speedruns more difficult, because there is more margin for error than playing a game normally. If you were to run any% for New Vegas for three days, and then run glitchless for three days, I can guarantee you’d be closer to the glitchless record than the any% record. Q: Why does your timer stop between runs and during load screens? A: The Fallout speedrun community (and almost every other PC speedrunning community) times our games in what’s called In-Game Time. This is the time that you’re actually playing your game, without load screens. This is because better PCs give faster loading screens, so it would be unfair to people who can’t afford really good PCs to include load screens in our time. The timer we use (LiveSplit) has a built-in feature where it reads the games’ files while they’re running, and is able to detect markers that indicate the game is loading. When the timer reads one of these markers, the timer automatically pauses. Q: What difficulty is this run on? A: Very easy. Q. What mods do you have installed? A. None, all runs are performed without mods. Q: What is this raffle you did mid-run? A: It’s a fun little game I play on stream with Twitch chat called the Culling. When we get to a cutoff point in a run (in Sex%, this is after we enter the vault), we do a raffle where the winner is what’s called the Vessel. The Vessel is responsible for all things that happen in the run, good or bad. If we do a trick successfully, it’s because of the Vessel. If something goes terribly wrong, it’s because of the Vessel. If the run dies, the Vessel gets banned from chat for however long the run lasted. If the run ends up being a record, the Vessel gets a free sub to my Twitch channel. Q. What're your thoughts on Fallout 76 and are you going to speedrun it? A. I'm excited for it, seems like it'll be a fun game to relax in and play with friends. I will speedrun it if it has a storyline to speedrun. Q: What language is it in? Why? A: Fallout 4 Sex% is played in German because it is the fastest language for the intro of the game, which is what the Sex% run entirely consists of. The time difference in languages comes from the unskippable Vault 111 cutscene. Q: What patch is this on? A: We play Fallout 4 on patch 1.1.30.0.0. Q: Why is your framerate capped at 60? A: The physics in Fallout 4 are tied to your framerate, so if you have a super expensive computer that can run the game at 300 frames, you’re naturally going to be able to beat the game much faster. To combat this, all runs are done at 60 FPS, so that everyone is on an even playing field, despite computer strength. Q: Why do you pick those character presets? A: Because I like them. Q: How do you clip through walls like that? A: I’m doing what’s called an item clip. There are many different forms of item clips. The ones I do in this run are called VLC (or cone) clips. They consist of holding a cone, looking down, and walking backwards into a wall. Q: How did you get across the map so fast? A: This is called punchwarping. If you attempt to melee attack something in VATS but there is an object blocking your path, the game will take a long time to pathfind how to get you to your target. If you cancel the VATS attack while the game is still thinking about how to pathfind you to the target, the game will store the coordinates of where you were standing. The next time that you attempt to melee attack something in VATS, you will automatically be teleported to the coordinates of where you were standing. Q: What’s the current world record?
