Yesterday I wrote an important conversation response, and today I want to test it. But rather than using my overlong existing test that plays through the Apartment level, I want to do a speedrun version of the test.
Last I remember, I could get it down to 39 moves with some RNG knowledge. I don't think that should have changed. The RNG knowledge in question is the luck of a non-dirty plushie landing at Ada's feet, so I think any legit speedrun without my RNG benefits would be at least 1 move more. Let's see though!
OK, yeah from game start to ready to talk to Glitch in NRE, the in-game clock ticked from 21:21 to 22:02 for 41 moves.
The only way I think you could save two moves here is if you typed in the random 6-digit 2FA code you have to type in to use the work laptop. Literally a 1 in a million chance.
Now if it would be possible to get to that prompt in 5 moves I can tell you that the password starts at "000000". But you need 5 moves to just get to the work laptop, much less find out about the wi-fi password and locate it.
OK, I have tested the response now and even took a sidequest to fix a lingering use of my deadname in my git config because GitKraken decided that was more important a source than where ever it had been gathering it before.
However, some flailing caused me to lose all of my test skein changes from the last few commits. I will need to fix that... But I need to take a break regardless.
I chose instead to sally forth with doing some writing and I'm a little mad about writer me because she wrote Ada giving Glitch a hug and dammit now I need to make sure that the playerr can tell Ada to "HUG GLITCH".
I was going to eventually, but seems my hand as been forced.
